    I don't blame Daddy for Covid and the economy was growing under Daddy thru 2019. By the same token he inherited that expanding economy from Obama, who inherited the economy in the midst of the Financial Crisis.

    If you credit Daddy for the 2017-19 economy but ignore how much positive momentum he inherited, I might have to question your motives here.

    Anyway, even throwing 2020 out, Daddy's numbers are just okay. Shit happens during every President's term. I'm not the one saying the POTUS has as much control over this as the gals you team up with do.

    Link? FDR had 12 years to "grow" the economy and I seem to remember something called World War II . Trump was doing great for three years then blue governors and mayors shut down the economy. So, post the link so we can see the rest of your crap.

    FDR got the economy of the Depression to begin those 12 years with. Lucky FDR! (Also, the ranking is by annual growth rate, not cumulative.)

    WWII was a pretty big government program, btw. Your team were the isolationists. Still are.

    FDR didn't accomplish sh*t until World War II. America once attacked was pretty enthusiastic for the War at all levels which we fought and won in less than four years. Dems dicked around in Korea for 3 years with rules of engagement that prevented winning. Korean War was ended when a Republican was elected president and the commies knew he wasn't going to phuck around. Dems started the Vietnam War with rules of engagement that prevented winning. Bush started the Iraq War, once again with rules of engagement which prevented winning and the neocons telling us that we could just turn Iraq and Afghanistan into New England style democracies.

    So, where is the link?

    I like Ike—and considerably better than you do I suspect. Still, you oversimplify ending the War in Korea. What a shock! I suspect you think Dugout Doug should have been in charge.

    As for you gals getting on board with fighting fascism, you make my point when you say it required an attack on the US to make that happen. Frankly, Hitler made it easier by declaring war when your team was really mad only at Japan.

    If you aren't 3D printing lower receivers for rifles, burying large caches of sub-tropical spices across the country, and setting up solar powered and encrypted radio repeaters on abandoned water towers, you aren't paying attention. It's where my retirement funds are now going. Je suis the 46%. I will start a brutal but fair spice trading federation in the twilight of this empire. Fuck Charles Schwab.

    Truman South Korea invaded. Still fighting in 1952 with rules of engagement to not deal with the real problem, the chicoms. Eisenhower elected. President in 1953. War ended. Sort of like Ukraine invaded under barry, then silent under Trump, then invaded again under the dementia patient. No attempt to explain how weakness encourages aggression, just explained with "oversimplifying. Kind of like the US hostages held by Iran were released when Reagan won. More oversimplification.

    So, where is the link?

    Two things can be true and Eisenhower played a role. But his taking office isn’t the only thing that happened in early ‘53, right Derek?

    Edith has no response. He lacks the intelligence to formulate one that would make sense.
