THE WEEK IN PICTURES: RECESSION DENIERS EDITION

Powerline ^ | 30 July2022 | John Hinderaker

[Rummyfan]

Things continue to go swimmingly on all fronts. Hey, it’s not a recession, it’s just a transition! We are transitioning to a non-binary economy where GDP is whatever you want it to be. Up, down, take your pick. In other highlights, Joe Biden cleaned his plate and Kamala Harris wore a blue dress (not that one). And if you think things can’t get worse, consider the fact that we are only through 19 months of the Biden administration, and have 29 months to go.

Curating The Week In Pictures in Steve’s absence has been fun. I have tried to generally follow his practices, with two exceptions: I don’t post Star Wars memes that I don’t get, which rules out nearly all of them. And I have suspended the practice of including a photo of a guy with a gun. Ladies, if you don’t like it, talk to Steve. He’ll be back in a few weeks.

Now on to TWIP.

De Nile is where the Left is.

De Nile is also where the crocs are.

Maybe the Left ARE the crocs, their mouths wide open waiting to devour the unwary.

Don't feed the crocs in De Nile.

Recessions bring the best opportunities. They only happen every 15 years or so typically. Start planning now, the playing field will be the best you’ll have for quite a while. This recession will be rather short but may well have a double dip like the Reagan years. The setup is starting to look similar. Doesn’t matter what stage of life you are in, there will be many ways to take advantage!

[Louis Foxwell]

No. De left iz not de crocs. De crocs are wut gets u wen u are in de nile.

[Jim W N]

Even better. The Left in De Nile with the crocs who eat them up. That would be nice.

“me:her finger is on the trigger

In my defense I just assumed it was a cell phone.

Well phrased.

I couldn’t hardly believe it this week I paid $7.00 for Bacon - BACON! Heck I use to pay that for a good roast beef!

[seowulf]

It’s not a re-cession.

It’s a trans-cession.

[Jim W N]

It’s not a re-cession. It’s a trans-cession.

Let's END this whole Biden/Obama session.

[Texas Fossil]

Recession may be too mild a term for this one.

Wish it were not, but my instincts tell me there are heavy rough waters just ahead.

The mad captain is giving orders to the crew of the Titanic.

None of them have the slightest wish to “fix” the problems. They are totally intent on destroying our nation completely.

There is no previous pattern to this current set of conditions. No pattern of a takeover on this scale with as much wealthy paying people to enslave the world.

May God Help the USA, Texas and your family and mine.

[Texas resident]

We are in a recession, but yes, they are doubling down on their actions to harm the country in all areas.

It’s going to be long time before our economy gets back to where it was in 2019.

Be the ant, not the grasshopper.
