17. The dumbass literally didn't have to do anything to bring down prices--they were coming down...

...because of Biden's policies; just not fast enough for the electorate to elect Harris.

My biggest fear was always that Emperor Tangerine would not actually do anything to affect the Biden economy and ride the soft landing and cooling inflation into the midterms before enacting the horrible agenda he espoused on the campaign trail. That's not at all what happened obviously--thank goodness. I believe it would have been a far more powerful strategy than to impose the tariffs, kick the abuelas out of the country, and bulldoze the White House.

Hey Blair, I've got news for you: your boss doesn't understand "prices and cost of living."

Good luck trying to get him to.

The rest of us are seriously looking forward to next year. Oh, and, go ahead and preserve any documents for the hearings that will come.
