Jupiter Florida shows the Biden Economy is good and MAGA is rife with Neo-Nazis

The US Economy under President Biden is soaring but, for the past few years Americans have claimed the economy is hurting them and things are terrible.

Why is there a disconnect?

Well, mainly due to rightwingers actively accepting Trump's lies and the Corporate Media has made this a topic via their non-stop lying about the economy.  Republicans have finally fully embraced subjectivity as a moral/political philosophy.  There is no truth outside the truth of whatever best suits the Republicans today.  Thus, the economy is bad when it isn't and Trump's insane 200% Tariffs are good even though it would obliterate the US Economy and send us into a Depression.

Of course, senile traitor Trump was always going to claim Inflation is out of control and the economy is wrecked and we are the verge of a 1929 Depression blah blah blah.  Of course, anytime Faux News is forced to report on the actual numbers of the thriving economy under President Biden, senile traitor Trump gets angry and blasts off one of his ranting racist missives on Truth Social. But, understand if traitor Trump somehow regains control of the US Government, MAGA will immediately declare the Economy the Greatest of All Time... Again.  It's crucial to understand that even as Trump crashed the Nation in 2020, Republicans pretend he didn't and repeatedly assert to their brain-washed followers that everything was the Best of All Time and the greatest ever and perfect under Trump because reality is an illusion and all that matters is getting that Propaganda out there and winning the day.

Thus, Trump and the Republicans;
  • Take all the credit for things they did not do
  • Pass all the blame for the things they did do
  • Proclaim themselves the Greatest of All Time
Last week, in Jupiter, Florida, Lara and Eric Trump threw another Boat Parade.  If you know anything about Jupiter Florida, then you know the houses on the causeway run into the 8 figure range.  And condos anywhere start in the million dollar range.  Michael Jordan has a $35,000,000 dollar mansion in Jupiter.  Jupiter is also where Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, got a massage hand-job and the only person to suffer because of it was the Asian immigrant who was arrested.

And if you own a boat, you're not struggling financially.  No matter what you might claim and have a overly credulous Corporate Media dutifully report.  But, of course, during this MAGA Boat Parade, Neo-Nazis joined in because The Fash, absolutely adores Trump, feels incredibly confident in his ability to steal into the White House, and is comfortable being out in the open because Trump and Project 2025 will grant them the ability to accomplish many of their terrorist dreams.

The problem is the Corporate Media is unwilling to admit the people who are claiming the economy is terrible are well-to-do or actually very rich.  And all the claims abut the price of eggs and milk or the cost of gas are lies being told by willing rightwingers who know that what they want to be true is true and there are no experts anymore and expertise and accreditation are the true liars trying to undermine their perceived truth and received wisdom.  MAGA loves being lied to by Trump because he tells them the things they want to be true are true and he gives them the latitude and permission to be their worst selves.

The Weak Dollar and the Republican Recession


Every time he turned the wheel,
It was a dollar down and a dollar a week.
~ Woody Guthrie

In 2003 while liaising with ISAF assets along the Jalalabad Road, some Brits came over to talk with us. They asked me where I was from in the States, when I told them Chicago, they perked up and wanted to know what great things to do in the city. They explained the pound had incredible purchasing power against to the dollar.

Now why was the dollar losing power even back in 2003? Because the blatant and profligate thievery of Bush was sending our American Economic Power and Health into a death spiral, culminating in The 2007 Great Republican Recession, the chinese control of a Trillion in US Debt (all run up by Bush), Republican handouts to the Banking Industry and the removal of Billions of Dollars to semi-secret Swiss Bank Accounts for the Kleptocracy of America which supports Republicans and hates Americans.

It's all part of the criminal Republican Party Corporate Welfare Gang's plan to ceaselessly Privatize Profits and Subsidize Losses and their Socialist Pathology of funneling Trillions of Dollars to the Gang of Corporate Criminals.

So, the Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Republican plan begun by WWII Chicken Hawk and Beirut Coward and Photo-op exploiter Ronald Reagan and continued by George Bush and his Master Dick Cheney to destroy the Middle Class almost succeeded. By deregulation, curbing and ignoring law enforcement powers of the government the Republicans nearly destroyed the US Middle Class.

However, the Punk Ass Bitches on the Right have taken it upon themselves to reframe truth for their followers. In this new Truth: 9/11 was inherited, the Iraq War was a rousing success, the economy never tanked until ACORN began receiving billions of dollars and Fannie and Freddie all-of-a-sudden began giving out millions to the unemployed to purchase Tear Down McMansions.

Typical Bullshit Republican Revisionism.

And the battered and cowed supporters of the Republican party, who desperately want to believe Republicans are moral upright christians, flag waving war heroes and fiscally responsible let themselves be played by the Immoral Deviants, Chicken Hawk Cowards and Socialist Kleptocrats which comprise the unscrupulous debauched Modern Republican Party.
