The latest Trump indictment is hoped to be a distraction from the congressional hearings providing solid evidence of the Biden crimes and corruption

Biden et al are losing big time.The Trump indictment is panic

We have raise the “debt limit” or our credit rating will go down.

We raised the “debt limit” and our credit rating went down.

The credit rating of a nation will decrease when it is run by idiots.

The Trump indictment is a distraction from many things. I wonder how many charges Jack Smith has up his sleeve. Republicans should go scorched earth on the Biden Crime Family and the entire syndicate. Notably missing from all the investigations has been Nancy Pelosi’s son and John Kerry’s son. They were up to their eyeballs in this too. It’s time to investigate Nan and John. Follow the money. How long will it take Smith to invent new charges?

I am waiting for Trump to be charged for adding sand to the beach in front of his house.

FYI, Craig Benson, the last good Governor of NH, was charged with that a couple years ago. He trucked in sand during the winter and added it to the beach in front of his Rye, NH oceanfront home.

Biden freaks out when US credit rating is downgraded
due to his “erosion of fiscal management.”

The problem is he doesnt spend any time on the economy.
We’re learning Biden spends most of his time
<><>on his grooming,
<><>taking naps
<><>making deals w/ our foreign adversaries,
<><>sucking up to the Chinese
<><>opening secret bank accounts,
<><>enriching his crime family
<><>phoning his 6-7 grandkids,
<><>retreating to his various mansions in Delaware......

And his most foolish task....trying to remake no-account
cokehead Hunter into some semblance of a human being.

The national debt reached $30 trillion about a year and a half ago (in February 2022).

Today its at $32.67 trillion, almost a 9% increase.

Can it be long before another rating agency also lowers the nation’s credit rating?

As an indication of what is important, this thread has fewer replies than a Taylor Swift thread.
We are in for rough seas ahead.

That’s all these Trump “indictments” are. “Shiny objects” to distract the idiot voters’ sleepy, “woke” eyes away from the shenanigans of their beloved fascist socialists on the far left and the government they are running.

The Treasury Department revealed on Monday that it expects to borrow $1.007 trillion in the third quarter, or $274 billion more than estimated in May.
One third of the National debt is going to be rolled over within the next 18 months. Of course that means they will be reissued at a higher rate.
Federal revenues for the first two quarters of 2023 fell by 20%. A growing economy does not lose revenue.
Enjoy the decline!
