Biden said the United States "is not in a recession," despite Thursday's GDP report, saying it is "no surprise that the economy is slowing down" amid inflation.

[FlipWilson]

Words fail.

They aren’t even trying to be artful in their gaslighting.

Its just lazy.

Come up with something that is at least comical.

Jeez.

[TakebackGOP]

That was like five days ago.

[TomGuy]

Just a few months ago, he was also claiming that there was no inflation but what was there was only a blip.

Even with 8%, 9% numbers, he denies.

2023 Social Security COLAs were suspected to increase by about 9.1% based on the May numbers. Then 10.8% by the June numbers. The Senior Citizens League sees a 2023 COLA in the range of 11.4%.

Biden and the media don’t want the US to be in a recession. They don’t “identify” with recession, just as some biological males don’t “identify” as males. In the progressive universe, if you’ve don’t feel like it’s a recession, it’s not a recession. Psychology overrides reality!— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) July 28, 2022

If a journalist tries to redefine recession to help Joe Biden, assume everything else they report is also a lie.— Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) July 28, 2022

While the corrupt corporate media plays word games, there is another acceptable definition.

To paraphrase Reagan, a recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Joe Biden loses his.

This isn’t just gaslighting, it’s more like full on gas grilling.

And he ran as fast as his shuffle allowed after his short reading so once again the press cannot ask him to elaborate, what a feeble man.

[Leaning Right]

Old rule: It’s a recession when there are two negative-growth quarters in a row.
New rule: It’s a recession only when Biden says so.

So maybe tomorrow Biden will read his teleprompter wrong, and say that it’s a recession when there are 20 negative-growth quarters in a row. The media will lap this up.

“20 sounds about right,” Joe Scarborough will say. “Using 19 would be jumping the gun a bit.”

[1Old Pro]

The media will lap this up.

Well apparently they aren't too upset that he is incapable of answering their questions. Why would they bother to show up to these if he doesn't answer questions? There is NO reason.

[butlerweave]

What does he know he’s never done anything Real

[Signalman]

Biden: “Who you going to believe, me or your shrinking wallet?”

[M Kehoe]

In September when the economy shrinks again, the regime will claim the economy is in transition and there is no inflation.

[forgotten man]

In a few months Biden will be proven to be correct. We will be in a depression, not a recession.

[BEJ]

When has this guy ever not lied? Seriously. Why do people even pay attention?

[Jewbacca]

You know, I think Hunter might be the smartest guy he knows.

[Houserino]

Not all that many can get away scott free after gun crimes, corruption, drugs, pedophile acts caught on camera, hookers, incest, rape, and international terrorism and embezzlement.

Hunter puts the clintons to shame.

[MtnClimber]

Like the 1st quarter GDP number, don’t be surprised when the 2nd quarter GDP number gets revised further downward.

[Jewbacca]

It really is impressive in a very sick way.

Hunter probably could have been a great guy if his parents were hit by a truck the day he was born.

[Nifster]

And joes not suffering full blown dementia

[crz]

“what a feeble man.”

He aint feeble. He is a worthless perverted pig faced piece of sh*t.

Always has been.
