A Trump-Worthy Ploy

July 12, 2024August 14, 2026 Buck Banks

Major Dem donors want to get rid of Joe Biden.
His stubborn obstinacy has sorely tried ’em.
So they’ll withhold $90 million,

Doomed to Repeat

July 10, 2024August 14, 2026 Buck Banks

OK, so Biden’s debate performance was far less than great,

Vice President JD Vance is off on an essential mission:
Vance-splaining Trump’s lies, like a truth beautician.

“With the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high, it’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay and it’s going to be over very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.”

“The cesspit of corruption that is Donald Trump’s presidency is finally getting the attention it deserves. It’s about time. And if a massive blue wave sweeps Washington on November 3rd as polls now suggest, Democrats should put corruption front and center of their agenda in Congress. … The level of corruption that Trump has engaged in and enabled in others is completely unprecedented – self-dealing that, as Trump would say, is like nothing anybody has ever seen before.”

— Paul Krugman

Wall Street Journal: “The U.S. added 29,000 jobs in September, far short of expectations, in a sign that the labor market remains steady but may not be able to deliver consistent and sizable employment gains like it did in the past.”
