Great financial crisis? You mean when the housing market collapsed, banks went under, our GDP sank, the working class lost trillions in net worth and unemployment soared?
Seems like a repeat of the last time we tried to bully the world with isolationist tariffs.
Not good.

This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.

I understand the concerns with the president not being able to remain conscious while doing his job. But frankly, given his track record, I prefer unconscious Trump to the alternatives.

Everyone's concerned with how the series will end.
All I care about is that 10 years from now they do a follow-up movie with the same cast playing the same characters, that is either a prequel or takes place "1 week later".

President Trump has set free a private equity executive who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

It's worth noting that this is among anti-trump coverage and honest rhetoric and reporting of the state of the economy and the country.
It's not in the middle of the Times front page, where other stories are reporting on "business as usual".
Implying it is "defending the state" is disingenuous.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
