1 big thing: House Dems ditch "Bidenomics" messaging - eviltoast

I don’t blame them. People can’t afford Bidenomics. I see people complaining all the time but elections have consequences.

I make a lot of money, so I am weathering it just fine. I am just not able to save as much as I would like.

As I said previously, I am not a fan of Trump but groceries were much cheaper under Trump. The cost of items was cheaper under Trump.

I can’t think of any way my life was worse under Trump.

    You didn’t mind a man openly calling veteran soldiers chumps and dead soldiers buried in arlington idiots running the govt? Along with all the other rhetoric. As long as groceries are cheap and you aren’t the demographic isn’t being threatened then who gives a shit about everyone else right?

      So you’re saying that I shouldn’t care about real things like policy, but rather just pointless words that don’t effect anything?

      That is a rumor. I personally don’t believe it’s true. I get liberals love hearsay but it doesn’t impress me. Where has Trump said that with actual proof? Not we heard it from someone who heard it from someone or some anonymous source.

      It is well-known Trump did things for veterans before he became President.

      What Demographic was impacted by Trump? Be specific. I can’t think of one group that was unfairly impacted by any of his policies.

      https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/10/04/donald-trump-call-troops-suckers-losers/

      In sum, the claim stemmed from a story by The Atlantic, which relied on anonymous, second-hand reports of Trump’s alleged words; there was no independent footage or documented proof to substantiate the in-question comments; and Trump vehemently denies that he once called service members “losers” and “suckers.”

        The man only does anything if it’s good for him. He does not have an altruistic bone in his body. Look at his rally speeches. All the man does is complain about people being mean and unfair to him, and then say he’s going to make it better. He called Americans vermin and scum. Then said we need to rid the country of this “vermin.” I can tell you with certainty that every American citizen is in fact a human being. Even if they disagree with Trump.

        And no, that is not the same as calling someone stupid, idiot, or worse. It is likening someone to something so detestable and revolting that it is somehow less than human, vile.

        Words of our public figures matter. Imagine if Joe Biden or Obama said that about Conservatives. I can only imagine the outcry. He is a dangerous insidious selfish man who has no thought for anyone who can’t serve a purpose for him personally.

          Remember when Hillary said people who support Trump and deplorable. Remember she she said they be “re-educated”, a term for putting people in camps.

          I’d take trumps whining over forced re-education camps any day.

                I assume the missing words there are “affected”?

                Two things, primarily: I spent all of 2020 and most of 2021 sheltering-in-place as a result of Trump’s incompetence at managing COVID-19; and he raised my taxes.

                In 2016 I voted against him as one of his campaign promises was to terminate FSMA, the Food Safety Modernization Act, which funds my work. (That’s not solely why, of course there was everything else, but the thing that affected me was his promise to make me lose my job. Of course he had no more competence in following through with that promise than he did any of the others, it turned out.)

                  I had my taxes raised as well but shouldn’t we all want to pay more taxes? Or do Democrats only love taxes when someone else is taxed?

                    No, of course not. What kind of conservative are you supposed to be?
