Who else is dead slow lately?

Umm - your initial post on this thread was denigrating others. I find it so interesting that - for both sides - folks fail to accept responsibility for getting into the mess and just throw blame on the 'next' person who takes the helm. If KH would have won, we'd be in EXACTLY the same place today (except for the fact that no government waste would have been cut). He's been in office 3 weeks. But somehow he's responsible for the disaster that Biden created. It's really hilarious how short sighted most folks are.

In the office for a month, but the dizzying rate of changes makes it feel longer. It is not hard to foresee taht the mass firings will raise unemployment and ripple out in the economy as the services and contractors who serviced the will close or shrink and lay off their own staff, and that tariffs are result in retaliatory tariffs taht will raise prices. The stock market and confidence of consumers react even if the MAGA folk pretend it is all still Biden's fault.

KH was a more stable person who believed in traditional govt and followed the law and constitution. Stability creates its own confidence. She also had concrete plans to increase home affordability and make more buyers eligible. DT is on a wrecking ball vengeance rampage, and the chaos and uncertainty rattle people and investors.

Change can be good but rapid and destructive change is disorienting and can be harmful. (Joe Biden was slowing down, but Trump looks and acts unhinged ). The reckless actions and threats are not mitigated even within his own party - which spooks normal people, including conservatives who are not MAGA.

You are rather predictable.

Lol, yes, observing the reality and not being a Trump groupie is predictable of me!

Not really interested in your continued denigration of DT, all the while scolding others for denigrating people. The FACT is that any slow down in appraisals is NOT related to who just took office three weeks ago (whether DT or KH), but is attributable to the person who just left office after 4 years. Period.

It does appear that Trump has done more work in one month than Biden did in four years. But, that is just optics.

Lol, If it was the other way around your post would say the exact opposite.

Every president inherits the results of the term president before him. But not every president ( and his followers ) is a professional whining blame the other victim like DT is.

Biden inherited high unemployment and a weak economy post Covid and rebuilt a strong thriving economy, despite inflation. DT inherited a strong economy and is weakening it and making inflation worse with his policies. Let's see him change course or stabilize to make it better. Idk if he is capable of it . Will see.

Wasn't Texas last week like in the 80s. Y'all sure get extreme weather.

Yes, we get 6-8 weeks of real winter here. Never contiguous and always broken up by a heat wave. Winter weeds are a killer for some here with allergies.

Bad work with a wrecking ball, lol - he is getting a lot done with deportations and running around threatening nations and making plans to buy and seize territory while America is dead broke -- Let's see what the result is in the coming months and years.

Maybe you have blinders, but the press briefings over the past four years constantly tried to blame Trump for everything.

Personally, I think we should be thinking present day and move on. All the media and certain posters with stories that have the words "could, would and might" are just projecting their own hopeful theories of failure. A lot of it is fear mongering and for the sheep to swallow. For instance, they are not going to cut social security benefits, but that is not what the left media is projecting. The truth is that social security is running out of money and could be bankrupt by 2030. Something has to be done about that. They should have never been allowed to divert taxpayers money out of social security for anything else.
