      Before Trump, I sweated buying my first electric guitar in decades. Now my weekly groceries cost more than what I paid for it.

      It seems like 18% are making a go of it.

      I just saw a clip on MeidasTouch of some Republicunt staring straight into the camera and denying a simple, verifiable fact like what the GDP was under Biden, though, so these people are very good at lying to others as well as themselves.

        Don’t forget the reporters behind the camera, who had the real numbers before even asking the question, quietly recording the denial of this reality without challenge.

          TBF, the reporter (correspondent?) was telling him that his claims about GDP under Biden were false, and he could look into the numbers and easily verify that fact for himself.

          The guy just kept on with his bullshit. Classic Republican, being “strong” and showing “leadership”, as RWAs (Right Wing Authoritarians) interpret those concepts.

          This is really the crux of our current problems. The right wing mindset adores people that say things assertively and never apologize, even if they are just completely full of shit.
