Watch them not have a graphic for the LAST three months of each presidency in 2021?

foKKKs Spews, and their audience put the Boob in Boob Tube.

These numbers are actually testament to the failures of two GOP presidencies – the elder and younger Bushes – and to the real successes of Clinton and Obama. Fox News already knows this and is hoping their loyal viewers don’t figure it out.

The Clinton presidency started on the heels of the 1991-1992 recession under HW Bush, and saw the economy take off due to internet expansion and its effects. The Obama presidency started in the depths of the W recession, which would have plunged the country into a full depression if the GOP had had their way. And if the GOP had actually worked with President Obama rather than obstructing every single thing he did, the economy would have recovered a lot more quickly. But it had been their goal to mire him down and keep anything from improving, which would have allowed the Right to campaign on how Obama wasn’t making things any better. Of course, even after the economy improved, the Right campaigned on the bad news notion anyway – figuring their loyalists would believe Fox News and not their lying eyes.

In the current day, the Pence White House is obviously bent on doing as much damage as it can, in the name of appeasing the Far Right and creating a completely alternate version of reality. The actions Pence is taking may well cause major problems in the economy, particularly in terms of health care once Pence removes the subsidies from ACA insurers and crashes the system. The Dems are now doing anything they can to stop these guys, not in the name of trying to crash the economy as the GOP attempted 8 years ago, but in the name of stopping the GOP from crashing it now.

I’d say these first 100 days are a good microcosm of what we will see over the next 3 3/4 years – many more sneaky backroom orders from Pence, many more blustering tweets from Trump, many more court orders stopping Pence’s wilder ideas, many more deportations, and total gridlock in the Congress – leading potentially to stagnation and uncertainty in the economy. Leading then to even greater anger throughout the country and paving the way for the next president to need to clean up a large mess in 2021 when Trump and Pence are emphatically shown the door. I’ll be curious to see how Fox News will play that story…

Now, I do realise that Trump supporters expect their beloved Dear Leader to have a magic wand, but there’s no way anything significant can happen after only 100 days. It takes weeks if not months even years for the effects of a new administration to kick in. Obama inherited a bad mess that was getting worse, but he left a situation that was was pretty close to full employment and pay was starting to rise. Trump inherited a steadily improving situation and I really and truly expect him to fail as badly as Bush (if not worse).
