If you haven't been following this little drama, all three county commissioners in Otero County, NM are rabid Trumpers. They have been refusing to certify the results of the June 7 primary. They do so against the advice of the County Clerk, who runs elections, who is also a Republican. They cite no specific allegations, they simply refuse to certify any election in which voting machines were used (Dominion in this case). Yesterday the New Mexico Supreme Court ordered them to certify the vote by friday. If they don't do it, the NM Sec of State will recommended criminal charges to the state AG and likely begin proceedings to remove them from office.

One of the three is Couy Griffin, who founded "Cowboys For Trump" and participated in Jan 6th. He's already been convicted of some minor charges and was supposed to be sentenced on Friday. Prosecutors are likely to bring up this ongoing crap when pressing the Judge to not go too easy on him.

Geeze, my post's point was that $6, 8.6% and a bear market that's cratered 401Ks is way more complicated that pointing the finger at the "Chairman." Specifically, the public doesn't understand what the Fed does in the first place, nor do most have a clue of the difference between fiscal and monetary policy so, it's easy to miss the combo of the Fed's role, combined with two administration's worth of fiscal policy leading up to the pandemic and during it that fostered 8.6%. To reiterate, that's not to imply Biden is blameless.

And the specific policy success is . . . .

If by "Biden" you mean "Putin/Trump/Covid/Republicans/Greedy Corporations" then correct.

President Biden once again accused oil companies of not doing enough to offset soaring gas prices on Wednesday, telling the seven major refiners their profit margins were “well above normal,” as the White House continued to point fingers for economic problems everywhere but at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

50 plus years in Washington and the man still doesn't understand how markets work? Is he this stupid or ignorant or is he being disingenuous?

Shouldn't you be cooking another batch of your world famous "3rd best bottom-friendly wings in Nebraska"?

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm reportedly exercised $1.6 million in stock options with an electric vehicle technology firm as she and President Biden urge action on climate change while Americans face $5 per gallon on unleaded 87 octane.

Un-fucking-believable.

Not really surprising. Believe it or not, she was an even worse governor than Whitmer, and is Exhibit A to support Liney's claims that Michigan's voters are stupid enough to keep electing useless Democrats. He's not wrong- and Michigan isn't alone.

Democrats may not understand "Markets", but they do understand "Marketing". Lie to people enough, tell them that you care about them and look like you're doing something is a brilliant marketing strategy. I'm not sure how they'll be able to THIS economy, but it's going to be fun see how they try.
