Football, Candy, and Iran
Trump posted his outrage about the $83.3 million verdict without mentioning E. Jean Carroll. It worked! He’s keeping his big fat mouth shut. E. Jean Carroll says she is going to “give the money to something Donald Trump hates. That will cause him pain for something — perhaps a fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.”
Trump will have to hold a going out of business sale to pay his judgements, fines and lawyers.
Trump told his followers to caucus on “Februarerth.”
Iran backed militias killed 3 US service members in a drone attack at a base in Jordan. 30 others were injured. There have been hundreds of drone attacks over the past few months. Biden says the US will retaliate.
An Iran backed militia is attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea. Another Iran backed militia is conducting a war campaign on innocent people living in Gaza.
Iran. Iran is behind all of this. They’ve got the far out lefties working for them like Putin has the MAGAs on the far right.
The Washington Post reported on a newly released report that drugs were everywhere in the White House during Trump’s first term in 2017. Trump’s doctor, Dr. Feel Good Ronny Jackson (now a member of Congress representing where else but Texas) ran the White House in-house clinic, which employed 60 medical personnel who were supposed to take care of the president and vice president, like a rogue operation where drugs were passed out like candy. He stocked fentanyl, hydrocodone, morphine and oxycodone and gave them out without prescriptions. They called him, “Candyman.” Trump’s friends also took advantage of complimentary elective surgeries. Ethical health care providers got the hell out of there because they refused to look the other way. The Candyman is in big ass trouble.
Speaking of Trump and 2017, everybody is going to end up paying taxes this year when they file for 2023 because of the Trump tax bill. It was designed to save ordinary people money for a couple of years then hit them hard later when the Republicans could blame the Democrats. The rich have gotten obscenely richer during this time. They don’t pay anything. Everybody will blame Biden, of course.
Speaking of Biden, he’s been flying around the country doing ribbon cutting ceremonies for big infrastructure projects that he and the Democrats are doing, made possible by their infrastructure bill that NONE of the Republicans voted for. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is doing a good job of communicating all that is being invested in public transportion. 40,000 projects have been started which have created jobs. Republicans are taking credit for it now, of course. They show up at ribbon cutting ceremonies and brag. Biden says, “That’s OK. I said I’d be the president for everybody.” Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar from Florida got called out after claiming credit for projects in her district that she voted against. She tried to make people believe that she didn’t remember how she voted when confronted.
President Biden went to North Carolina to announce $82 million in new investments from the American Rescue Plan, which will connect an additional 16,000 local homes and businesses to high-speed internet. Life is going to get much better for people living in those homes and working in those businesses but they’ll still vote for Trump.
The GDP grew by 3.3% in the last quarter, the DOW closed above 38,000 for the first time ever, core inflation is 3.9% (the lowest in 2 ½ years), and unemployment is at 3.9% (4% is considered full employment), but Nikki Haley is out there on the campaign trail saying, “We’ve got an economy in shambles and an inflation that’s run out of control.”
Trump promised economic growth of 3% when he ran the first time.
The unemployment rate under Trump was 6.3%. He lost 2.9 million jobs.
The federal debt increased by $8.4 trillion under Trump.
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s team made it to the Super Bowl. She ought to perform at halftime and endorse Joe Biden and tell everybody to register to vote while they’re watching the halftime show, pigging out and drinking beer. The only thing that would make Super Bowl Sunday better is if her boyfriend’s team won and he hit a home run. Not really. MAGAs know that home runs aren’t in football. They may believe anything, but they’d never believe anybody got a home run in football. They may not know anything about civics or history, but they know about football.
