Covid...Putin....Powell......M2(Joe thinks that's a tank)....Deficit spending......Omnibus Spending.....Corn-Pop, old timey negro ball players......Truckers.....Oil Pipelines...... Pointless inflationary stimulus....

All from President, "Its not my fault". The only president who's approach to governing is to wait for bad $hit to happen, blame the other guy, and assemble a cabinet hit squad to kill america with suicidal solutions Joe is too stupid to comprehend.

Fundamentally changing America every day at every step, dime, foe, program, and pudding cup. And that's the way it goes.......
