I'm going to go on record and say I originally thought PA was in a no win situation between Fetterman and Oz. Fetterman clearly had health issues that may have impacted his ability to be in office, he was still recovering from the stroke and he struggled with his speech. Oz was a celebrity that brought nothing to the table, he was an awful candidate. Fetterman gets crap for his wardrobe at times, but the important thing is the man in the clothes and not the clothes themselves. Based on recent interviews it seems like Fetterman has made a great recovery, and I appreciate a politician that can call out the bullshit in Washington on both sides. While I haven't followed all his moves in Congress, I've been pleasantly surprised by a number of his actions of late. Here he is talking about mental health not too long ago, you can see a big recovery in his speech compared to a year or two ago:

Saw a graph on TV comparing the cost of several food items from last year and today. Your Memorial Day cookout is going to cost you more.

Taco Bell 5 layer Burrito 2019 $1.69 - 2024 $3.69
McDonalds Double Cheeseburger 2019 $1.00 - 2024 $3.15

How dare you assume I outsource my holiday cookout meals!
It's Wendy's all day. Quality is the recipe!

Left-wing policy has a way of helping people see the light.
Even in the Utopian Workers' Paradise and United Prosperity Center of The People's Democratic Republic of Portlandia?

The voting wasn't even close. I guess there is a limit to their wokeness?

I feel like we're starting to see the pendulum swing back the other way. It's said anytime it moves too far left or right there's an eventual blowback and society swings back closer to center. I think we've seen some of that as backlash from the recent college protests. In addition to the change in leadership in Portland, they also saw their "free needle" policy go horribly wrong (Who could have guessed that?).

This is why anarchists are bottom of the barrel in terms of political ideologies. Literally nothing but "fuck everyone". Tough to get any support when you can't communicate a reasonable plan that people can support.

It’s absolutely starting to swing back from the COVID/BLM/Defund the Police hysteria. There is evidence everywhere.

They must have figured opening the border would
prevent the census from being a problem with this migration. So deluge the borders with unknown people, spend a military budget buying out student loans for college grads, and lawfare the political opponents to save democracy. Makes sense.

I saw an article where Target is downsizing the amount of LGBTQ merchandise they offer and are relocating it in the store.

I haven't had to attend all-white people are racist training in a few years now. Shithole cities seem to be electing more reasonable candidates. Dems are denying ties to that whole defund the police notion. People have also had 4 years of aggressive left-wing policy to look at, plus the lies from Covid radicals are no longer being reinforced by the media.

Georgia is in the top 10? Weird. The Atlantic said that Brian Kemp was conducting an experiment in human sacrifice by not locking down businesses.

10 mil? Those are rookie numbers. All me when they hit a billy.
Joe Biden is single handily the most competent criminal who has been able to hide his numerous financial crimes, and also a brain dead husk.

Real adults believe this.

No. They believe Hunter is gaming the system and the left will cover it up all day long. I still don’t see how anyone can deny that the Biden’s have sold influence.

Yes, the Left is so committed to covering it up. They've worked so hard that it's resulted in countless indictments for Hunter.

Is this the part where people are supposed to say....weaponized DOJ? Activist DA's pushing these fake news tax evasion indictments!!!

Joe Biden is such a great mob boss that he can't enrich himself as well as literally any other past president. Unless, he has access to better tax accountants than the Clintons/Obamas/Trump/Bush's all have and they have his money hidden around the world.

Hunter is still having dinners with the AG, and the DOJ has been sitting on his crimes for years. All presidents have dozens of LLCs for no reason. It's influence peddling and some are OK with it. Remember, the laptop is Russian disinformation, and Biden never got involved in his son's business.

Biden’s Secretary of Transportation, Mayor Pete, appeared on Face the Nation over the weekend, where the host quite rudely asked about the $7.5 billion set aside for electric vehicle charging stations, which has resulted in something like 7 or 8 actual charging stations. Now, I’m sure a few more units will be built before their target date in 2030, but what about the rest of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill? Adjusted for inflation, Biden’s “roads and bridges” boondoggle cost more than the Apollo project, the Manhattan project, and the interstate highway system combined. Folks: where are the new bridges? Beyond some “refurbishments” and “equity grants,” nothing has changed. So where did the money go?

You're right. Joe is as pure as the driven snow.
