"We are 40 years into a consistent and undeniable pattern of deficits growing under GOP leadership and shrinking under Democratic leadership."

Biden's deficits are lower than Trumps? Obama's were lower than Bush's?

Here's a chart showing deficits by year...your statement doesn't hold up.

Americans aren't buying your nonsense anymore Pete.

Pete: crime is way up since Trump left, but it’s not the highest it’s ever been, therefore it’s nothing to worry about!

Sure! Zero crime in any of the liberal-run cities - NY, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore...

Pete: Crime isn't an issue! And if it is, the republicans did it!

This is what happens when you let people use their EBT’s to purchase Lattes.

You could move to Seattle and vote them out, contribute to their opposition or just use it to reinforce your narrative.

article in a Prague newspaper......with which i completely agree.


"The danger to America is not Joe Biden, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
