Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This seems to be the GOP strategy at this point. Do everything you can to wreck the economy and write your friends blank checks. The Democrats get elected to fix the mess. Then, you use their time spent cleaning up your mess to make the case that they are ineffective, getting you re-elected just in time to start all over again.
Yep, they did the same this with Biden as with Bush to Obama, which is leave him with a giant pile of crap and then blame it on him. I remember the conservative troglodytes saying “omg Obama! Economy!!”, of course conveniently ignoring that the country was dealing with a major economic disaster created in the Bush years after years of Republican Congress and presidency. Pretty sure it’s on purpose at this point, like how they obstruct and massively waste time in Congress when there’s a Democratic President, then say the President didn’t get anything done. Meanwhile Trump, of course, whined that Obama had left him with a country in shambles, when in fact Obama had left him with the momentum of an economic recovery. Then Trump took credit for it. Then when Biden came in office, being handed a mismanaged mess from the Orang-utan, Republicans said “well Biden is President now so it’s his responsibility! Can’t blame it on the last guy!”
