We'll have to be consistent - remember. If the market goes up for the next 3 years... it's big Orange's economy that caused that! And if it goes down for any reason... it's big daddy B's fault. Since they're both doing the exact same thing - undoing everything the previous administration did via EO on day 1.

Need proof that Biden is going to solve the Covid crisis? Here it is:

Within one day of Biden taking the oath of office (and also issuing an Executive Order to re-join the WHO), the WHO released revised guidance on Covid rapid-testing protocol, which reduces the sensitivity of tests in order to produce "more accurate" results.





Boom! Covid positivity rate is going to suddenly go down within the next few weeks, and we literally have Biden to thank for that miracle!

What do you mean by "They don't see it?"

They are praising and cheering it. Biden has single-handedly reduced the rate of Covid transmission.

Going back to an earlier conversation between Brainy & I, The Washington Times and the New York Post are both sensationalist tabloid rags. They are attempting to ride on the coat-tails of the Washington Post and the New York Times, respectively.

This makes things hard for people who aren't either residents of NYC or DC, or involved in the business.

In NYC, The Times is a real newspaper, the Post is a rag.

In DC, The Post is a real newspaper, the Times is a rag.

CNN wants a monopoly on journalism.

As our representative of the Ministry of Truth, you should know this fact.

Biden made no such promise to break. Our enemies in Eurasia created that lie.

[/MiniTrue]


In all seriousness, though. As you know, CNN is all false news. So this article, which they published in October, in which they fact-check Biden and conclude that he was lying when he falsely claimed that he "never said I oppose fracking", must itself be false.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/23/polit...eck/index.html

So very much false falseness, it's hard to keep track of what's falsely true and what's truly false.




But doge knows.
