State of the Union

How will FFOTUS spin this

1. He’s dropped a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week in one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.
2. "The new US administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision."

- Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesperson
3. Social Security workforce cut by more than 10%. This affects both Social Security and Medicare. They already had long wait times but had a great record for cost containment and benefit delivery.
4. Ukraine….

IN THE WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, THE FIRST TO SURRENDER WAS THE UNITED STATES.

God knows how he’ll try to spin this

It looks like FFOTUS is very angry with the American people. He seems to believe he deserves unanimous support and is even angry at his supporters for not working harder to make it so. He is consumed by rage and resentment that he is not universally beloved.
It’s all because of paid operatives…

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that government spending could be separated from gross domestic product reports, in response to questions about whether the spending cuts pushed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency could possibly cause an economic downturn.

“You know that governments historically have messed with GDP,” Lutnick said on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “They count government spending as part of GDP. So I’m going to separate those two and make it transparent.”


So when reality collides your lies. Just move the goal posts Trump and maga logic hard at work. Most Trump voters. What’s a GDP ?

The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us...

But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

Don't be a downer. Do what the Sect of Agric suggested:

“People are sort of looking around thinking, ‘Wow, well maybe I can get a chicken in my backyard,’ and it’s awesome,” Rollins told Fox & Friends Weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy. The agriculture secretary, who was sworn in last month to the position in President Donald Trump’s cabinet, added she has her own backyard chickens.

Rollins also referred to raising chickens at home in a Wall Street Journal op-ed last week.

“We also want to make it easier for families to raise backyard chickens,” she wrote as she explained her five-part plan to reduce egg prices.

Already have chickens
To do it you need
A place that you can have chickens, condos, HOAs and apartments don’t work
A coop
Feed
Chicks
5 months of waiting
By then it will likely be over, but if FFOTUS succeeds in making us into a third world country it might be worthwhile.
If you are wondering about chicken productivity, we get about 3 dozen eggs a week out of 6 chickens

Big Oil just got limp at the thought of drill baby drill...

"Oil prices dropped again on Tuesday as traders faced up to a double whammy of new tariffs and plans to boost production in a number of OPEC countries."

The Stable Genius probably will negotiate again with OPEC for higher oil prices like he did during Covid

If you guys had been shot and hit a few times you would have a different additude. Semper Fi to my fellow brothers and sisters that paid the price. Never mind this S hit.

No boat, back in the suds.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."
