Acknowledges "hard times" ahead, but it is totally Joe Biden's fault, not the stupid economically illiterate decisions Trump is making.

[GAinDC]

Skeletor on some BS again

First of all — this seems like a complete lie. Where are the receipts?

Second of all — people aren’t even thinking about Joe Biden anymore. Republicans need a better line of attack than “But Biden!”

[Sir Mohamed]

Why do we need evidence? When Voldemort says it, it must be true.

[MasterJedi]

Professional victims (current MAGAOP) can’t take responsibility for their own actions. Nothing Trump does has any bad effect for the cult. It’s all Biden and Democrat’s fault even though Republicans have full control of the country.

[K.W.R.A.E. 8647]

Post-truth is pre-fascism.

[Ferguson97]

Isn't this almost the exact opposite of the truth? Biden had job growth in every quarter of his presidency.

[President Johnson]

Alternative facts, folks.

Looking at FRED (the St. Louis Federal Reserve's data tool) shows the following:

The peak during Trump's first term was in Dec. 2019, with 131.7 million people working in usually full-time jobs.  This number unsurprisingly took a steep hit due to COVID, declining to a low of 114.1M in April 2020.  There was a gradual recovery afterward, reaching 125.2M in January 2021, the beginning of Biden's term.  The numbers continued to improve until mid-2023, when they stagnated around 133-134M until near the end of Biden's term; in January 2025 they reached an all-time high of 135.9M.  Last month was down a bit to 134.7M.

Sir, are you implying Voldemort is being misleading?

I would never suggest such a thing. 

He's outright lying.

[Pericles]

Rick Scott defrauded Medicare, of course he defrauds the public too every day.

[Joe Kakistocracy]

Republicans learned a very long time ago that they can claim literally anything they want about verifiable economic data.  Nobody is going to bother proving their claims are outright lies, and anybody who does is going to do so later and elsewhere to a completely different audience.

Look at when Vance kept referring to Biden's "Inflation Explosion Act".

"Republican Makes S*** Up."

If we had a thread for every one of these, or even a megathread, it would take up the entire bandwith of the site.

[Mr. Illini]

Democrats need to do a better job of making the public aware of the economic successes of the Biden and Obama administrations. They are up against a party that is more than willing to blatantly lie, and the public is believing them.
