  1. Republicans drive up unemployment and that is how they lower gas prices.
    Jobless claims are the lowest since 1969.

    The U.S. economy grew by 6.9% in 2021, best since since 1984

    Unemployment rate of 3.5%; under Donald Trump, unemployment was 6.3%.

    "DECEMBER 2019 TRUMP PLEDGED TO REVIVE THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR. BUT IT JUST FELL DEEPER INTO A RECESSION." – Business Insider

    "Trump turned farmers into welfare-dependent socialists" – The Dickinson Press

    "Trump's payments to farmers hit all-time high ahead of election" – Reuters

    Republicans have nothing and have never done anything good for America. H*ll Bush Jr. gave us the great recession. They do not hold Trump accountable and pander to election deniers. They are the enemy of America, domestic terrorists.

    I am not talking about Republicans. Only the ones that hold office.

  2. The in-power party usually loses mid terms. The fact that the Republicans might not win this one shows how tired America is of the GoP's current state!

  3. The left has destroyed the country. Liberalism is a cancer and need to be stopped

  4. You are a disgrace corwardles propagandal GOP leaders Kevin a

  5. WORST INFLATION IN 68 YEARS OF US HISTORY AND WORST PRESIDENT IN 68 YEARS
    FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS THINGS ARE LOOKING GODD. THAT'S A LIE TURKEY PRICE IN CT $40
    FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS INFLATION IS WORST GASOLINE PRICE WENT UP TO $5
    The stinking, nasty inflation of Joe Biden Today is October 28 and gas is up to $5 a gallon in Connecticut. tomorrow inflation is going to skyrocket. Joe Biden said the economy is good. Joe Biden and the Democrats are to blame for all this mess. Joe Biden has wrecked our economy with his lousy administration

  6. Meanwhile the greatest country in the world is looking at rationing heating oil in the northeast. Everyday people are on tv actually talking about this and they are very worried. The white house hasn’t really addressed this or the fact we have 24 days of diesel oil left. That alone could bring this country to a stand still.
    Meanwhile we are sitting on more oil in this country than we need. Think about that.

  7. It's about time to get rid of these GRIFTERS…Vote them all out on November 8th! Save the Country!

    Well, if there are "Shady" deals to be done, OVERSEAS and you have an ARMED military escort, I'm sure that deals worth Billions in Ukraine would calm your fears with an unannounced visit!

    These Democrat slugs can make an all-expense paid trip, at taxpayer expense, to Ukraine…but they can't visit the streets in their districts and States to see how Americans Citizens are suffering!

    When was the last time Nancy, Schiff, and Swalwell, Stenny Hoyer walked the homeless encampments in Baltimore, San Francisco and LA to offer a hand-up and look at the pain and misery they have created with their off-the-wall policies?

    The answer is NEVER!

    These Democrats have a deep hatred and disdain for American citizens and taxpayers!

    However, The "SMELL" of Billions of US taxpayer funds in a foreign country, with NO ACCOUNTABILITY, and ripe for the picking, is all they care about!

  8. What's very interesting is MANY Dems took a "Junket Trip" to Ukraine a few months back…just to make sure that the Ukraine President knows how the Foreign Aid game is played. The rules are they send billions of taxpayer $$$ to Ukraine…and a nice big chunk of this money is laundered overseas…through LLCs before making it back to DC where these VULTURES and PACs will pick and tear away at their "hard-earned" booty, compliments of the US Taxpayers. This is the reason the Democrats in Congress REFUSED to have an ongoing Audit, to independently insure these funds were spent properly…and did not disappear into thin air.

    Just remember this scene when President Trump was in office…Nancy, Schiff, and another load of Democrat Politicians had quietly orchestrated a "Junket Trip" to Jordan, Kuwait, UAE, and European Countries on the taxpayer's dime. President Trump found out, canceled the Flight, and these smug politicians were then bussed back to the Capitol to do their Jobs!

    I really loved the PRICELESS photo of Nancy, Schiff, and the other embarrassed Politicians, getting off the Green School Bus at the Capitol.

  9. 🏆🇺🇲 THANK YOU JOE BIDEN ! 🇺🇲🏆

    HONESTY – INTEGRITY – COURAGE

    THANK YOU FOR GIVING AMERICA INTEGRITY AGAIN 🇺🇸🏆

    THANK YOU !

  10. Actually the US Average cost of gasoline is now down to $3.76 per gallon. Energy costs are dropping each day due to low demand.

  11. Lol that’s not gonna save you. Bloodbath incoming

  12. Low Trade deficit added 2.8 % to GDP. So it was still negative and we aren't trading as much. Biden knows everyone is watching these #s. Easy to manipulate

  13. Let’s go Brandon’s voters!

  14. How convenient. Doesn’t seem like it

  15. I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment.,.

  16. C'Mon Man! Whatta you a junkie!
    The USA only has enough Diesel fuel for only 25 Days!
    Just wait until the Cold Winter arrives…and there are severe shortages of Heating and Natural Gas!

  17. Things are looking good unless you are a working person .

  18. Sad to say the republicans will win in nov . And if biden runs again the republicans will win in 2024

  19. Just way to boost democrats favor cause it's close to election

  20. Same crowd that thinks feddermen is a viable candidate.
