   All of Rudy's lies, deleted.   
      
   LOL... wanna compare Biden inflation to Trump's?   
      
   How much did unemployment go up. 1, maybe 2%?   
      
   Wow... it's a goddamn DEPRESSION!   
      
   No WONDER I saw people jumping to their deaths earlier today!

   Never mind... it's not a good metric for the economy anyway.   
      
   There are myriad reasons unemployment can go up and have nothing to do with   
   the economy.   
      
   For UNemployment to be an accurate metric, there needs to be 100% of the   
   people who are unemployed and out looking for work.   
      
   Unemployment "claims" are NOT indicative of the economy. There could be the   
   same amount of people unemployed, but more could make claims one month, and   
   fewer the next.   
      
   EMployment is a better indicator. Don't forget... DoGE is laying people off,   
   so you can't REALLY use unemployment as a gauge for the economy.   
      
   Groceries are cheaper. YOU just don't know, because YOU don't grocery shop, or   
   you would.   
      
   I can PROVE they're cheaper. You cannot prove they're more expensive, unless   
   faggot Newsome has done something to the economy in California, or wherever   
   you live now.   
      
   Go ahead... show us some receipts.   
      
   I can.

   "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition   
      
   All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.   
      
   "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has   
   been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the   
   point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."   
      
   Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the   
   Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or   
   stages:   
      
   "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The   
   president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were   
   all it took to change the world."   
      
   "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's   
   vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of   
   hyperbole."   
      
   "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from   
   reality."   
      
   The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk   
   opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump   
   announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would   
   suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.   
   There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be   
   received positively by TDSers.   
      
   The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early   
   2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-   
   night comics and nothing more.   
      
   Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first   
   coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.   
   The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in   
   otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -   
   the very existence of George W. Bush."
