It's actually a dead giveaway that it is being written by someone with a high school-level education in writing.

It probably looks like it did from a surface level view, but I'd bet my left nut that if you dug thru the books you'd realize we've just been living on borrowed time because of some make-believe financing. I strongly believe it's bound to bite us in the ass in the long run in a very big way, but they will find a scapegoat for it, if they haven't already.

After the BLM co-founder who buyed a big mansion. Here another BLM guy who was a backed congressional candidate charged for fraud scheme.

A former Democrat state senator and party chairwoman was arrested for wire fraud after allegedly using campaign contributions for personal expenses, particularly for gambling purposes.

Former Louisiana state senator Karen Peterson, who represented the 5th Congressional District for more than a decade, resigned her Senate seat in April, citing mental health and “gambling addiction.”

She also served as the chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party from 2012 to 2020.


Peterson had received more than $100,000 in campaign contributions from the Black Lives Matter PAC to help her win the congressional seat for Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District.

The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana said Peterson conned campaign contributors for at least seven years.

“As a Louisiana State Senator, Peterson formed and maintained a campaign organization, the Karen Carter Peterson Campaign Fund (KCPCF), to solicit and raise campaign funds from individual and corporate donors,” U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson stated in his legal filing. “The campaign funds were solicited based upon the representations and premise that the funds would be used to facilitate Peterson’s reelection for the position of State Senator.”

Besides "Burn Loot Murder", I wonder if BLM could also mean "Borrow Lend Money"?

Beat me to it. You don't put out pre-emptive copium like that unless things are fucked. And now Yellen is saying there *won't* be a recession.

I will be very surprised if we avoid one.

If the GDP numbers are negative for a second quarter in a row, then we've already been in a recession for 2 quarters, we just now have confirmation. That is to say, it won't be that we'll suddenly be in one on Thursday, it's that we'll have official confirmation about what we've all known.

And if the GDP drops by 10% over the course of the year... That's a depression, and we're officially in uncharted territory for a modern 1st world country.


EDIT:

Oh. Oh, DUH.

I just realized what the game is.

By giving the official party definition of recession, this will allow fact checkers to DEBOOONK anyone on Social Media that uses the word Recession. "FACT CHECK: WE ARE NOT IN A RECESSION" or "Your account has been temporarily restricted for posting Economic Misinformation, Stock Scams, and other Malicious Business Information." or "Get the real facts about how the Biden Economy is doing at Democrats2022.gov"

So the useful idiots will absorb the new definition to protect the DNC, the fact checkers will shout down anyone who objects, and big tech will silence anyone who refuses to be shouted down. See also: COVID, the Election of 2020, and Hunter Biden's laptop.

The thing is it will backfire on them because too many people know about their lies and the amount of useful idiots are becoming smaller and smaller.

At this rate, Biden is even less popular than Jimmy Carter...

You actually have to go back to Truman to find a president who was less popular at this point of his term.

Like most of us, I was incredibly pessimistic about the Biden presidency but he's managed to sink beneath my very low expectations. I thought at least he'd have some competent handlers but I guess not.

So i keep hearing that the Jan 6th committee investigations have basically fucked a potential Trump 2024 run, and the party republicans do indeed seem to be backing away from him, though support amongst the voterbase remains strong.

How effective even is any of that in the long term. Like something like that i can only imagine being effective amongst their own rank of cattle and nobody else. Everyone else can see the prices skyrocketing and their wallets getting tighter, you can't control that.

The thing that will hurt Trump in the general, but maybe not the primary, is continuing to re-litigate the Stolen Election. It resonates with his base, but the swing vote wants to move on already and it's not like there's not already a plethora of reasons to prefer Trump to Biden. By far Independents list election fraud whining as their biggest turnoff to voting Trump.
He could waltz into office on a smug "miss me yet?" platform, if he could temporarily put aside his resentment about being cheated out of an election for two years and then enact reprisals against the swamp once in office. But I doubt he'll do it.
