FACT: Democrats restore economies that Republicans wreck

There’s plenty of good news out there, people, even if during this endless money grab called “election season,” our click-bait corporate media would rather you didn’t see any of it.

The United States economy is once again the envy of the entire free world, much of which is still gasping for air, struggling along in the turbulent wake of a once-in-a-century killer pandemic the morbid, “pro-life” Republican Party would prefer we all just forgot about.

The U.S. dollar is strong, wages are up, inflation is down, and our jobless rate is historically low. Sure, we have a way to go to get back to the economy we enjoyed during Barack Obama’s Administration, before the ghastly Donald Trump became just the latest Republican to wreck it by handing over our hard-earned money to billionaires, and making it easier for them to line his slippery, 10-gallon pockets, while stepping on the necks of powerless consumers of all political stripes.

To be crystal clear: Damn near any good that happened with our economy during Trump’s disastrous administration was inherited from Obama. He simply went on to wreck it, which he has done his whole miserable life with literally everything he bangs into. Check out the numbers when this nuclear-powered blowhard took over in 2017, and when he left whining like 300-lb. baby in 2021.

And if you come back at me that the pandemic contributed to the orange gasbag’s massacre of our economy, then you'd better explain to me why he ignored it, and then lied about it for months and months, before finally suggesting — his pudgy, little hands flailing about — that we try chugging Lysol to save ourselves.

He had no damn idea what he was doing while hundreds of thousand of Americans were dying. You’ll never get a more terrifying example of complete incompetence, seasoned with his trademark lack of empathy for human suffering than that disgusting state of affairs.

As his very own Secretary of State confirmed, the man is “a moron” and his four years in office were an ever-expanding disaster area of government shutdowns, Nazi-coddling, impeachments, childish threats to build a damn wall, a documented 30,573 lies, an attempted coup, and a busted economy that was leaking jobs faster than Rudy Giuliani’s fat head sweats out black hair dye.

And have we already forgotten how hard he tried to kill Obamacare, with absolutely nothing lined up to replace it? Imagine how bad things would have been during the pandemic if he had somehow rammed that one through his Republican Senate?

Thinking of you, John McCain ...

And you’ll remember, it was Obama who took over from George Bush the Far Stupider One. He left us with a war in Iraq he lied about, the Great Recession, and the worst economy in 75 years.

It was yet another terrible time under a Republican president.

Of course, Bush the Far Stupider One inherited a great economy from Democrat Bill Clinton, before wrecking it, and giving way to Obama, who spent the next eight, blissful, uneventful years restoring America, and making her whole again.

Obama was so successful in returning calm and normalcy to our country, self-satisfied Democrats fell asleep at the wheel while Tea Party Republicans led by Mitch McConnell took a baseball bat to our judiciary and beat the living truth out of it.

All this Republican malfeasance only serves to highlight the long, distinguished pattern of Democrats repairing economies the GOP has wrecked during the past 100 years. This is an ironclad piece of historical fact that has been woefully underreported through the years, and certainly during this election cycle, where President Joe Biden is delivering good economic news and policies that benefit all of us seemingly every day, with but a whisper of a mention from the press.

How else to explain why a majority of Americans still somehow think that the party that has provably ruined economies over the decades is better with our money than the party that fixes them?

The truth is, economic rebirth is happening yet again under a Democratic Administration, and if nothing else, is a great talking point if you are still in the risky habit of arguing politics with members of our country’s insurrection party, who hate facts almost as much as they have grown to hate what America is supposed to stand for — namely, truth and justice.

Democrats have been bailing out these obnoxious loudmouths for going on a century, and it’s about time they at least had the decency to say, thank you.

In addition to being just the latest Democratic president to repair our economy, and once again make it a beacon for the rest of the world, consider Joe Biden signed yet more legislation last week that will protect our public lands from the monstrous corporate Republicans who would rather destroy it.

Is there anything more important than protecting these pristine environments and all the beautiful, necessary things that inhabit them from the callous, rightwing outlaws who have proven just how much they mean to harm them?

And if time and again it’s the Democrats who are standing up for the environment and the beautiful animals who own it, what of those Republicans who shoot their pets and then make a point of bragging about it for political gain?

Surely you’ve heard about South Dakota Governor Kristin Noem, a vice presidential frontrunner on Trump’s fascist, get-out-of-jail-free ticket. Noem wrote a memoir titled: No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward.

Well, we learned last weekend thanks to some great reporting by The Guardian that the pie-eyed Noem is what’s wrong with politics, because she thinks America’s way forward starts with murdering our pets.

Noem went into great and gory detail in her book about proudly shooting her puppy, Cricket, who “she hated” for having the audacity to act like a puppy, before finishing off a pet goat during her killing spree just for good measure.

This is astonishing cruelty, even from a member of a party that does nothing except pray for our dead children after they have been slaughtered in our schools by other subhumans who “hate” living things. It’s just more bile from the party that talks a good game about respecting life, even if by action they continually show us how little tolerance they have for it.

And let me duck in here real quick, to remind everybody that it is Biden and the Democrats who have proven themselves serious about trying to end the insane carnage from all these damn guns that the “pro-life” Republicans are paid well by the heinous gun lobby to avoid at all costs.

So why did Noem choose to include this in her book? What sane person shoots their pets and then publicly brags about it? Well, according to the puppy-killer herself, she just wanted everybody in America to know that as an aspirant to the White House, she can make tough decisions.

I ask you: Is there anything more Republican than that?

This is the world we are living in right now. While Biden is restoring our economy, protecting our nation’s lands, standing up for our rights, and rebuilding our infrastructure, his opponent is in court for campaign fraud for illegally funneling money to hide the truth about screwing a Playboy bunny while his third wife was pregnant, and then screwing another adult movie actress right after his wife had delivered their child.

Biden quietly goes to church on Sundays to pray for a nation he is working tirelessly to protect, while Trump attacks America, avoids church, and is beloved by millions who practice a sick and evil strain of Christianity that has taken Christ and anything good and wholesome out of their religion.

Now guess which candidate is getting the most press?

Thanks to Democrats, there are plenty of great things happening out there to make America and Americans’ lives better and safer, because that’s what they have been doing for the past 100 years.

Everybody would profit mightily if we finally heard a helluva lot more about that.
