[Kamala tells us we’re not going back to Trump’s bad old days.  That means we’re not going back to historically low inflation rates, low interest rates, lower taxes, less regulations, secure borders, peace in the world, wages that outpace inflation, budgets to rebuild our military, fewer illegal aliens, … .  Yep, that woman really knows how to sell us her brave new tomorrow.  gjr]

    Trump is a fraud, always has been.
    For his military academy yearbook photo, Trump borrowed a fellow student’s medal-covered jacket, because his own uniform had so few medals.
    MAGA!

    Hillbilly – “Trump is a fraud, always has been.”
    He was POTUS for 4 years. Compare those 4 years to Biden’s. And what 4 years of Harris will bring.
    Just what was the problem with Trump in office?
    Not enough wars?
    Not enough perverts in the govt?
    Not enough inflation?

    Never enough for a local former “newsman”! One caveat…..if they’re busy shaking their equipment at children during story time …..he’s fine with that apparently.

    Here’s the “comparison’ you asked for Scott. Trump wrecked the economy in his four years as President. Just compare the economy he inherited from Obama with the one he left Biden. what more do you need? Here’s the numbers according to Business Insider:

    But it was above both Bush and Obama before the pandemic wrecked it?
    The “pandemic wrecked it” is the operative phrase.

    Gregory 4:35 – Paul Emery has whipped this poor dead horse until the bones are showing. He refuses to acknowledge there was a general shutdown of the economy. And it was Trump who was always trying to get the country to get back to school and to work while the Dems kept hiding under the bed.
    Paul is barely worth paying attention to anymore.
    His post of 3:26 is just another lie.
    It clearly is not the comparison I was making.
    Paul’s just a mangy old deaf and blind dog by the road barking at any noise going by.

    Another exciting episode of Paul Emery beating a dead horse is underway, but let’s take a break from the action and observe how the ongoing process of turning America into a police state is going:
    “Amid claims that Trump is a “danger to this country and the world,” Hillary Clinton – the original sinner of ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’-propaganda – has called for anyone spreading “misinformation” to be criminally charged as a “better deterrence” ahead of the election.”
    When they are this far into it, there is no turning back. A totalitarian state is now the end game.
