BIDENOMICS: Banks are still failing, homelessness and inflation is still rising, companies putting a halt or slowing hiring plans, oil reserves depleted, The United States credit rating has been downgraded from a AAA rating as US debt continues to skyrocket.

"Fitch has downgraded the U.S. credit rating to AA+ from AAA.”

In an attempt to help shield Biden from criticism, why Fitch blames January 6th for the downgrade! :har:

"You have the debt ceiling, you have Jan. 6. Clearly, if you look at polarization with both parties ... the Democrats have gone further left and Republicans further right, so the middle is kind of falling apart basically," said senior director at Fitch Ratings Richard Francis.

Clown world

Reality is it’s the public that is conveniently divided bickering over some of most petty pointless arguments known in American history. While the uni-party just keeps going deeper and deeper in debt spending more than the tax revenue it takes in

Fitch Ratings downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating weeks after President Biden and congressional Republicans came to the brink of a historic default, warning about the growing debt burden and political dysfunction in Washington.
The ratings firm downgraded the U.S.’s long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating to “AA+” from “AAA” to reflect expected financial deterioration in the coming years and the government’s growing debt burden.
The first downgrade of the U.S. by a major ratings firm in more than a decade, the move underscores the high stakes of this spring’s legislative drama for the critical $20 trillion global market for U.S. government debt.
Fitch said Tuesday that the downgrade reflects an “erosion of governance” in the U.S. relative to other top-tier economies over the past two decades, pointing to the financial uncertainty posed by a series of close calls in which legislative stalemates nearly derailed routine payments on U.S. Treasury debt, typically treated by investors around the world as ultrasafe.
“The repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management,” Fitch said.

Trump may face 40 years prison.

- It doesn't look good for him, but everything indicates that the accusers are completely bouncing off his voters. He has built up the story that the Biden family wants him down, and his voters buy into that, says Mads Dalgaard and continues:

- The more that is added to the legal track, the more he strengthens his position with the Republican voters. He has positioned himself as the man who fights against the 'swamp'.

According to the US expert, Donald Trump is currently aiming for a very specific goal.

- We are looking into a scenario where Trump's best option for not ending up in prison is simply to become the next president

Texas governor Greg Abbott reveals he has bussed over 28,000 illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities like Washington DC, New York and Chicago.

So, after virtue signaling for years by calling their cities ‘sanctuary cities’, Democrats like NYC Mayor Adams are starting to sound a lot like ‘far right Republicans’ by calling for border security.

“We need to control the border. We need to call a state of emergency, and we need to properly fund this national crisis,” Adams said. :har:

So when Republicans say this it’s ‘racist’ but not when the left says it? I’m confused. :doh:

And didn’t democrats and left wing liberal loons say walls don’t work? Watch how they fast build now.

They're on the attack against Ron too. First telling folks not to travel to Florida because we're racist because we refuse to accept their narrative that our founding fathers are villains & the USA is a horrible place. Now they're telling you that if you travel to Florida you might become a leper. https://www.yahoo.com/news/whats-goi...175800508.html

...and gee I wonder where it might have come from with Brandon's wide open border? :hmmm: Armadillo my @$$

I like Ron I voted for him as Governor and would for president too.
Lepper? I thought they said who wants to be a Pepper too? :D

The human Molotov cocktail. When you vote, don’t use it as an anger management tool.

Well, I think Trump is used in Europe for the same reason he’s over here. #1 anything with the words Trump in is good gossip and sells papers, #2 Trump is used as a great distraction from more pressing problems.

January 6 was a crime. A dissent from NR's editorial.

The latest indictment of Donald Trump is politics masquerading as law masquerading as politics.

In our system, it is the obligation of the Article I branch, Congress, to counter abuses of power by the Article II branch, the executive. The Framers would have scoffed at the notion that a president could be checked — effectively and without partisan enmity — by prosecutors who worked for either (a) the president who was suspected of wrongdoing, or (b) a president of the opposition party — particularly one, such as Joe Biden, who is running against Trump, the former president under suspicion.

Quote:

Trump is charged with defrauding the United States, even though it was just a few weeks ago — in throwing out convictions of two cronies of former New York governor Andrew Cuomo — that the Supreme Court reaffirmed that, in federal law, “fraud” means a swindle to bilk victims out of money or tangible property. It is not a vehicle by which prosecutors may impose their vision of good government.

Quote:

The political objective of this political scheme, which the Biden Justice Department has masqueraded as a legal proceeding, is to rush the case to trial and inundate voters with Capitol riot imagery in the 2024 campaign stretch-run. Ironically, it’s a corrupt scheme to influence the presidential election — exactly what Trump is accused of doing.

An independent court does what its name says, it is about crimes without caring for politics.

Only courts that let Trump off are independent, courts that jail him are politicised by the Bidenists. May the will of the American people be done! The question is which one, there are two. ;)

There is no such thing. But McCarthy was not talking about the court was he. The prosecutor, the Attorney General and the person they answer to, the President could hardly be called independent. Quite the opposite.

Look no one wants Trump gone from American politics more than me. He is a drama queen and a narcissist. It distracts from the real issues. But make no mistake, his greatest talent is playing the victim and these legal cases feed that beast. There is one sure way to get rid of Donald Trump. Let him run for office in 2024. He will almost certainly lose. But try to imagine if he beats these charges, and that is a distinct possibility. Some people are going to be embarrassed. Some people will lose their minds.

53 % of the Republican voters would put their vote on him and only 12 or was it 16 % would put their vote on number 2 forgot his name-something with San...

And 4 % would put they vote on former VP.

This poll was shown in today Godmorning Denmark.

In the studio they had an expert on American politics and she said.

Even if he should be found guilty a majority of the Rep. would vote on him.

WHY!!
If he is a criminal having done something criminal then he should be kicked out of the Rep club if he's found guilty that is.

If he's found not guilty then he is allowed to run for Office.

Ok lets go back and discuss Biden and American Democrat politics.
