THE ONLY WAY AN ECONOMIC DISRUPTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE MAKES ANY SENSE is if the economy had crashed (ala: The Great Depression) and we were desperate to create tens of millions of jobs.

But instead, under #Biden, #unemployment fell as low as 3.4% two years ago this month, and was still just 4.1% when he left.

We don't need to engage in desperate measures to create jobs when we were already at or near full employment. #UnnecessaryChaos #DisasterPresidency

#GaryShapley was a longtime #IRS agent when he told Congress in 2023 that prosecutors slow-walked an inquiry into then-President Joe #Biden’s son for #tax offenses.…

But Shapley’s testimony, along w/that of Joseph Ziegler, has made him a celebrated figure on the #FarRight & endeared him to advisers to #Trump, who in his first term openly mused about using #tax investigations to persecute his perceived #political #enemies.

>> What happened with Ukraine is a mirror image of what happened with Israel and it helpfully exposes your hypocrisy.

No, it puts your and #Israel's ungratefulness on full display for the world to see.

If #Leiter was able to acknowledge #Biden's contributions, why can't you?

Biden and the #Democratic Party paid dearly for supporting a dear ally, who, in turn, exposed themselves as #ingrate, full of bloodlust, seeking 2000lb bombs to bomb tunnels holding Israeli and American hostages.

>> #Biden’s plodding incrementalism was a disaster, both for #Israel and #Ukraine.

This is why I believe the entire Israeli far right is #ingrate.

Even #Leiter had the good sense to "stand corrected" as he acknowledged Biden's contribution, but the ungratefulness still prevented him from thanking Biden.

#Ukraine survived 3 years of relentless attacks by revanchist #Russia's 3-day special operation. But they are not thankless as #Israel, even though #JDVance accused them of just that.

#McGurk then detailed many steps #Biden took like traveling to #Israel, sending aircraft carriers to the Middle East to deter #Hezbollah and #Iran, giving $13 billion in military assistance, using emergency procedures to ensure the delivery of weapons, helping defeat two Iranian missile attacks and blocking anti-Israeli measures in the #UN.

After McGurk's pushback, #Leiter said he stands corrected but thanked McGurk personally but not the Biden administration as a whole… #ingrate

⬆️ #Ingrate wants to #finishTheJob “a lot faster” 🙄 #Netanyahu lobbed sharp criticisms at #Biden directly through the camera 😡adding, “Give us the tools and we’ll finish the job a lot faster.” THIS is why #Bibi is waiting for Biden to lose #Election2024 and get a clear signal from #Trump to “quickly do things that have to be done.”

Israeli ambassador and Biden adviser clash over Gaza legacy…

"The bad blood between Biden… and Netanyahu… [over] ingratitude"

Hat die #EU oder #Deutschland schon über das Szenario nachgedacht, wenn #Trump das #DFP (Data Privacy Framework) aufhebt? Da es auf einem Dekret von #Biden basiert, wird er es wohl "kassieren", da er ja alles von Biden revidiert.

Wie geht's dann weiter in Sachen #Datenschutz bzw. Datentransfers zwischen EU und #USA?

Darauf sollten sich Behörden und Firmen gefasst machen, die #Clouds bzw. Plattformen von US-Dienstleistern nutzen. Ohne DFP fehlt die rechtliche Basis ...

It is obvious he lied , they are spending more this year than last year, they are not saving any money;

“ These data show that the federal government had spent $1.893 trillion in 2025 as of March 26, compared with $1.763 trillion as of the same date last year. In other words, federal spending is on pace to come in 7.4% higher this year than last.” marketwatch.com/story/despite-

from the linked article >> While his fake leftist tour draws thousands of people, #Sanders gives #Trump cover, praising him for “cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger.”

And here you are, splitting #democrats into "us" vs "them" 🙄

"This could not have happened without the connivance of the #Democratic Party" — which, I should clarify, points to Party Leaders like #Biden, #Schumer, #Bernie, & #AOC, not supporters like you and me.

Black Agenda ReportBernie and AOC Sheepdog for the Democrats | Black Agenda ReportBernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are trying to re-engage disaffected voters who are rightly disengaged from the Democratic Party. Big rallies can’t hide the fact that the Fighting Oligarchy Tour leads misguided people right back to oligarchy.
