Friday's Futile Absurdities: The Non-Recession Recession Has Officially Arrived
I’m always amazed at how so many people in Washington, DC who have strived for decades to establish a respectable public reputation are willing to immediately surrender those decades of hard work to support an obviously false and dishonest political narrative.
Today’s prime example comes in the full moon-shaped form of Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen:
“We’ve entered a new phase in our recovery,” she said.
Well, yes: It’s called the recession phase of our recovery. That’s the phase where the recovery is no longer a recovery at all, mainly because it has become a goddam recession, you prevaricating jackass.
Please pardon my language.
Now, before going to work for Joe Biden, Janet Yellen had indeed managed to establish an air of respectability round the DC Swamp for her years of public service at the Fed and other posts around town. But that all went up in smoke on Thursday as she went all-in to support the latest Biden lie.
We’re in a recession, and everybody knows it, although the reliable lapdogs in the news media have all come around to playing along with the gag after some initial hesitation that I wrote about earlier this week.
Here’s the moment when the shameless Democrat operatives at the New York Times dove into the brackish non-recession recession water:
Here’s when Politico did a cannonball right into the middle of the propaganda tank:
Biden economic advisor Jared Bernstein committed reputational harikiri of his own with this little bit of hilarity:
For the record, before Biden took office with Bernstein as his economic advisor, $4.34 per gallon had been the all-time record high for gas prices in the U.S. Now, they’re trying to convince us that a 71 cent drop to $4.30 is great news, America!
Meanwhile, the Democrat operatives at Reuters came up with my favorite headline of the day…
Mainly because it reminded me of one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes, the one titled “Shrinkage”:
Man, I’m gonna have to give this post a PG-13 rating now.
What a bunch of shameless asshats.
Let’s move on…
If you think the economic and energy insanity is limited to America, fear not: Germany says “hold my beer”:
That’s right: In the midst of its own economic recession, one that features crushingly high prices for all forms of energy, the German government has decided to channel its inner sadistic Hermann Goering and impose a surcharge on consumers of natural gas - which is basically all German citizens - in order to to take the load off of the huge corporations who import and deliver the gas to those consumers.
Honestly, what does one even say about stuff like this? Other than you just could never make it up in a million billion years, that is?
Back to the whole non-recession recession thing for a moment:
In all seriousness, can you imagine a more hellish existence than trying to serve as the sign language interpreter for Old Joe Biden?
Speaking of high energy costs, Democrat senate candidate John Fetterman filled up his huge Dodge Ram pickup for the first time since leaving the hospital, and boy is he pissed:
Apparently, Fetterman hasn’t gotten the Jared Bernstein talking points memo dictating that current gasoline prices are actually something for Democrats to boast about. Go figure.
But see if you agree with me here: If I was doing a movie about a deranged cannibal serial killer traveling the highways in a huge Dodge Ram pickup and grabbing hitchhikers off the road to murder, cook and eat, I would totally cast this guy in the lead role without even making him do an audition.
Wouldn’t you?
Truly, only a candidate as inept and transparently phony Dr. Oz could lose a statewide election to this guy.
Finally, in a preview of the November mid-term elections to come, the Republicans slapped a 10-0 Red Wave shellacking on the Democrats in the annual congressional baseball game last night:
Perfect.
That is all.
The Dimocrats yesterday with their phony explanations were simply full of lying ridiculousness!
Brian Deese says at the WH yesterday:
"Americans are doing great because it's not famine."
F these people
