We went from 4 years of an Admin that never promoted/hyped their accomplishments (to their detriment), to an Admin that calls daily press conferences to promote/hype things that the govt does on a fairly routine basis. Maybe Dems can find a happy medium at some point.

In 1930, 6 months after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were enacted by President Hoover, world trade decreased by SIXTY PERCENT (60%). Because of policies like the Smoot-Hawley tariffs contributing to the Great Depression in the 1930's, Hoover is considered one of our WORST president's.

The fires at Tesla show rooms are an insurance scam. By POTUS & AG declaring “domestic terrorism” the feds become responsible for payment of 80% of the insurance claim. A scam to funnel $$ to his cronies.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.
