I heard the President is trying to suggest that the inflation numbers are getting better?
I would love to see the murky logic in somehow demanding that these inflation numbers are actually cooling down, rather than just increasing through the ceiling. Of course, none of this has anything to do with spending several trillion dollars and printing more money. Nope, nothing at all. Somehow, in fact, we all know it's about the bad orange man.

Roger predicted a recession in Biden's term.

"Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is a policy model for funding government spending. ... The essential message of MMT is that there is no financial constraint on government spending as long as a country is a sovereign issuer of currency and does not tie the value of its currency to another currency."

Scientists are anti white bigoted bastards according to you and Trump
There is now an overwhelming number of white males with "strep." We start labeling this a pandemic of white males. We segregate them, and we start testing them more often, thus pushing the numbers up further. At the same time, we restrict testing even further on the control group. After all, women and minorities are only rarely testing positive. This is basically what is happening with the vaccines.
Even more, we are broadly losing the ability to compare groups with U.S. data. In the U.S., if non-vaccinated (or, as I say, "pure blood"), the PCR test is run at upwards of 40–45 cycles, leading to a false positive rate in the 90-plus-percent range. If vaccinated, PCR is run at a 28-cycle threshold. How can we compare these two groups at all? It would be the same as swabbing the throats of the white males aggressively and submitting multiple specimens, but for the rest, we briefly run a swab across the outer lip. The "authorities" have made it too difficult to compare groups for obvious reasons. The shot doesn't work. They know, but they don't care, because there are too much money and too much power in continuing the charade.
Just recently, the U.K. posted data saying that approximately 70% of COVID-positive hospitalizations among unvaccinated are hospitalizations for something else, and they test positive while in the hospital, on average eight days after admission. Yet these are counted as COVID hospitalizations! So I have a stroke, I go to the hospital, and after eight daily COVID tests, I get a positive. Am I hospitalized for COVID? If you are saying yes, then I can for sure baffle you with BS. Even Fauci admitted that most children hospitalized with COVID are in the hospital for something else and only happen to test positive.
Look for Any High School Yearbook, It's Free
Classmates
We need to wake up to this madness.
The only good thing now is that the nonstop vaccine-boosting has resulted in the government labeling all the double-vaxxed as not immunized. They are now welcome to the same scorn and disdain as us pure bloods. They were told back in the day that getting the vaccine meant getting back to normal. Now they know: the masks never went away; two shots are not enough; and if they don't comply, the powers that be are coming for their jobs, their leisure travel, everything they have taken from us pure bloods. We welcome them as our half-blooded counterparts. They can now join our resistance and take the country back.
And as an aside, physicians need to start waking up and getting in the game. Hospitals are nothing without doctors and nurses. We drive the care, not administrators, the NIH, the CDC, or our beloved president.
I am reminded of a plaque that my mentor had in his office. "It's hard to soar like an eagle when you work with turkeys." So, physicians, stop being so foul, and take back the practice of medicine.

So, what does this have to do with the newest inflation news alky?
The history of Keynesian economics
The Great Depression was a time of tremendous financial uncertainty. US unemployment stood at 24%. Prevailing classical economic theory, which focused on economic growth and freedom based on supply-side marketplace competition and a hands-off approach, wasn't working.
In 1936, Keynes published, "The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money." In it, he argues that the notion markets tend toward full employment is false and that government intervention is needed to overcome issues of unemployment and recession. Keynes saw demand as key to full employment and the force that creates supply.
Note. Although Keynes' General Theory is his most famous work, its 1930 two-volume precursor, "A Treatise on Money," is often regarded as more important when it comes to economic thought.
From 1933 to 1939, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt adopted Keynes' economic theories in the creation of New Deal legislation. His intent was to reinvigorate the economy by stimulating consumer demand. This was accomplished by Keynesian-style deficit spending to promote economic growth. While the Keynesian approach was somewhat successful, massive government spending on World War II is what primarily rescued the economy.
During the period from 1946 to 1976, Keynesian economics became dominant. During the 1970s, Keynesian economics failed to explain how high inflation and unemployment, otherwise known as stagflation, could happen at the same time. This resulted in a retreat to classical economics from the mid to late 70s to 2008. Economists once again returned to Keynes during the global financial crisis in 2008. Since then, economic policy has been a mix of the two.
Keynesian economics vs. classical economic theories
Keynesian economics promotes government intervention in the business cycle, including borrowing, as a way to stimulate demand. In this model demand increases supply and reduces unemployment since more workers are needed to keep up with increased demand.
Classical economics advocates laissez-faire (let it be) policy, with little to no government intervention. Instead, it promotes a balanced budget while allowing an uncontrolled free market to use the laws of supply and demand to self-regulate.
Note: Keynes opposed the economic theories of 18th century economist Adam Smith, who was a major proponent of laissez-faire economic policies and the "invisible hand" or tendency of free markets to regulate themselves.
Keynesians believe prices and wages are relatively inflexible and that the government must help achieve full employment. Classicists believe prices and wages are flexible and any unemployment is only temporary.
I don't agree that free markets to regulate themselves.
Limited government regulation on capitalism is the most successful economic policy in history

Professor Ehud Qimron: “Ministry of Health, it’s time to admit failure”
Professor Ehud Qimron, head of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Tel Aviv University and one of the leading Israeli immunologists, has written an open letter sharply criticizing the Israeli – and indeed global – management of the coronavirus pandemic.
In the end, the truth will always be revealed, and the truth about the coronavirus policy is beginning to be revealed. When the destructive concepts collapse one by one, there is nothing left but to tell the experts who led the management of the pandemic – we told you so.
Two years late, you finally realize that a respiratory virus cannot be defeated and that any such attempt is doomed to fail. You do not admit it, because you have admitted almost no mistake in the last two years, but in retrospect it is clear that you have failed miserably in almost all of your actions, and even the media is already having a hard time covering your shame.
You refused to admit that the infection comes in waves that fade by themselves, despite years of observations and scientific knowledge. You insisted on attributing every decline of a wave solely to your actions, and so through false propaganda “you overcame the plague.” And again you defeated it, and again and again and again.
You refused to admit that mass testing is ineffective, despite your own contingency plans explicitly stating so (“Pandemic Influenza Health System Preparedness Plan, 2007”, p. 26).
You refused to admit that recovery is more protective than a vaccine, despite previous knowledge and observations showing that non-recovered vaccinated people are more likely to be infected than recovered people. You refused to admit that the vaccinated are contagious despite the observations. Based on this, you hoped to achieve herd immunity by vaccination — and you failed in that as well.
You insisted on ignoring the fact that the disease is dozens of times more dangerous for risk groups and older adults, than for young people who are not in risk groups, despite the knowledge that came from China as early as 2020.
You refused to adopt the “Barrington Declaration”, signed by more than 60,000 scientists and medical professionals, or other common sense programs. You chose to ridicule, slander, distort and discredit them. Instead of the right programs and people, you have chosen professionals who lack relevant training for pandemic management (physicists as chief government advisers, veterinarians, security officers, media personnel, and so on).
You have not set up an effective system for reporting side effects from the vaccines, and reports on side effects have even been deleted from your Facebook page. Doctors avoid linking side effects to the vaccine, lest you persecute them as you did with some of their colleagues. You have ignored many reports of changes in menstrual intensity and menstrual cycle times. You hid data that allows for objective and proper research (for example, you removed the data on passengers at Ben Gurion Airport). Instead, you chose to publish non-objective articles together with senior Pfizer executives on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines.
Political bias not scientists.
Irreversible damage to trust
However, from the heights of your hubris, you have also ignored the fact that in the end the truth will be revealed. And it begins to be revealed. The truth is that you have brought the public’s trust in you to an unprecedented low, and you have eroded your status as a source of authority. The truth is that you have burned hundreds of billions of shekels to no avail – for publishing intimidation, for ineffective tests, for destructive lockdowns and for disrupting the routine of life in the last two years.
You have destroyed the education of our children and their future. You made children feel guilty, scared, smoke, drink, get addicted, drop out, and quarrel, as school principals around the country attest. You have harmed livelihoods, the economy, human rights, mental health and physical health.
You slandered colleagues who did not surrender to you, you turned the people against each other, divided society and polarized the discourse. You branded, without any scientific basis, people who chose not to get vaccinated as enemies of the public and as spreaders of disease. You promote, in an unprecedented way, a draconian policy of discrimination, denial of rights and selection of people, including children, for their medical choice. A selection that lacks any epidemiological justification.
When you compare the destructive policies you are pursuing with the sane policies of some other countries — you can clearly see that the destruction you have caused has only added victims beyond the vulnerable to the virus. The economy you ruined, the unemployed you caused, and the children whose education you destroyed — they are the surplus victims as a result of your own actions only.
There is currently no medical emergency, but you have been cultivating such a condition for two years now because of lust for power, budgets and control. The only emergency now is that you still set policies and hold huge budgets for propaganda and psychological engineering instead of directing them to strengthen the health care system.
This emergency must stop!

"inherited the longest and most dangerous medical crisis in history"
The Jan. 6 select committee is seeking an interview with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) about his communications with former President Trump.
Why it matters: McCarthy is the highest-ranking elected official the committee has asked for information. It's a clear sign that the panel sees nobody as off-limits.
The committee has also requested information from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), the chair of the House Freedom Caucus. Both have refused to cooperate.The committee is weighing whether it has the authority to bring subpoenas against sitting members of Congress.
What they're saying: "You have acknowledged speaking directly with the former President while the violence was underway on January 6th," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chair of the committee, wrote to McCarthy in a letter.
Thompson said the content of McCarthy's conversation with the former p "bears directly on President Trump’s state of mind" during the attack.Other questions Thompson said the committee has for McCarthy revolve around
What's next: Thompson said the committee would like to meet with McCarthy on Feb. 3 or 4, or the week of Feb. 7.
McCarthy has frequently railed against the committee since withdrawing his appointees in July.McCarthy's office did not respond to an immediate request for comment.

The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The novel virus was first identified from an outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019, and attempts to contain it there failed, allowing it to spread across the globe. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020 and a pandemic on 11 March 2020. As of 10 January 2022, the pandemic had caused more than 307 million cases and 5.49 million deaths, making it one of the deadliest in history.

Matt Gaetz's ex-girlfriend testifies to grand jury in sex trafficking probe
Marc Caputo and Pete Williams
Wed, January 12, 2022, 12:17 PM EST
ORLANDO, Fla. — Rep. Matt Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend testified Wednesday before a federal grand jury investigating him for sex crimes, a major development that suggests the Department of Justice may be moving closer to indicting him.
The ex-girlfriend, whose name is being withheld by NBC News to respect her privacy, has been in talks for months with prosecutors about an immunity deal. Under a possible deal, she would avoid prosecution for obstruction of justice in return for testifying in the investigation into whether Gaetz in 2017 had sex with a 17-year-old female for money and whether months later he and others violated a federal law prohibiting people for paying for prostitutes overseas.
Legal sources familiar with the case say Gaetz is being investigated for three distinct crimes: sex trafficking the 17-year-old; violating the Mann Act, which prohibits taking women across state lines for prostitution; and obstructing justice.
Gaetz, R-Fla., has not been charged with a crime and has denied all accusations, saying he never paid for sex and never had sex with a minor when he was an adult. The firebrand conservative has called the federal investigation into him a DOJ “witch hunt.”
The attorney for Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend, Tim Jansen, declined comment about the case Wednesday, when he was spotted by an NBC News reporter entering the federal courthouse in Orlando with his client. A Department of Justice spokesman declined comment. Gaetz did not respond to a request for comment.
Hey Denny...

Trump insulted Sen. Mike Rounds after the GOP senator said the 2020 election was fair.
Senior Republican figures have since backed Rounds.
Mitch McConnell told CNN: "I think Sen. Rounds told the truth about what happened in the 2020 election."
Some top Republican senators are standing by GOP Sen. Mike Rounds after he was insulted by former President Donald Trump for saying the 2020 election was fair.
Trump called Rounds a "jerk" and said he "went woke" after the senator from South Dakota called the 2020 presidential election "as fair as we've seen."
Rounds responded to Trump's attack by saying: "I stand by my statement. The former president lost the 2020 election."
Some senior Republican figures have since backed Rounds up.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN: "I think Sen. Rounds told the truth about what happened in the 2020 election. And I agree with him."
Biden's unpopularity spreads across almost every demographic group, except self-identified Dems. Even 27% of Black voters disapprove. And he's deeply unpopular among independents, young people and Hispanics.
More Americans believe the GOP is more committed to principles of the Constitution over individual politicians (36/56) than believe this about the Democratic Party (30/62) -- so the exact opposite of the primary media narrative about the GOP waging war on the Constitution.
In the same poll during the same time in his presidency (Quinnipiac, 1/2018 ), Trump's approval rating was at 38/57 -- 5 points higher than Biden.
48% approved of Trump's handling of the economy after his first year versus 34% for Biden: a 14-point gap.
Among other lessons, these numbers show how quickly the dominant wing of corporate media is losing its grip on power and the dissemination of information. The business model they chose worked for awhile - let's talk only to Dems, feed them what they want -- but now it's a prison.

'Sorry, Crazies': GOP Lawmaker Dismantles Latest Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory
Ed Mazza
Tue, January 11, 2022, 11:22 PM EST
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Tuesday debunked a Capitol riot conspiracy theory backed by Fox News host Tucker Carlson that’s become increasingly popular in right-wing circles.
“I know this will break some hearts. For a few months, people like Tucker Carlson, MTG, Gaetz, and now Cruz have been ‘just asking questions’ about a man named Ray Epps,” Kinzinger wrote on Twitter, referring to Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Epps was seen on camera on Jan. 5, 2021, urging Donald Trump supporters to go into the U.S. Capitol, one day before the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.
“Some in the crowd chanted ‘fed fed fed,’” Kinzinger noted. “Why? Who knows, maybe they knew he was videoed talking about breaking into the Capitol the day before it was to happen and wanted to create distance?”
Because he wasn’t arrested ― and because he was initially on an FBI “wanted” list and then removed ― Carlson and others have suggested he’s an FBI operative and part of a “false flag” operation at the Capitol.
Cruz ― fresh off an appearance on Carlson’s show critics described as “groveling” to the Fox News host ― used his time during a hearing on Tuesday to ask an FBI official about Epps.
But Kinzinger wrote in a series of tweets that Epp has spoken with the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot and there’s another reason he was removed from the wanted list, never arrested and never charged:

(CNN) — An ex-girlfriend of Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is seen as a key witness in the investigation into alleged sex trafficking by the Florida Republican, entered an Orlando federal courthouse with her lawyer on Wednesday, where she was expected to testify before a grand jury, according to a CNN reporter on the scene.
The development is the latest signal that the long-running investigation into Gaetz remains active. A source familiar with the case had previously told CNN the ex-girlfriend would appear before the grand jury.
The woman, a former Capitol Hill staffer, has been linked to Gaetz as far back as the summer of 2017. Investigators are interested in that period of time because that is when the congressman is accused of having sexual contact with another woman, who was 17 years old at the time.
--------
I'm still friends with a woman I babysat who was molested by a police officer who lived on the same street. From when she was 13! Eventually he was arrested but never served in prison.
She eventually recovered and was a successful businesswoman.
So much for Alky discussing his postings.

Indeed. What's interesting is that he's used to brag about having a 137 IQ back in the "Bush Soars" Yahoo board days. His purported IQ was a myth then and it's a myth now. Since then we've seen him go through episodes one would expect from someone with a room temperature IQ. And since he's been committed to his facility and forced to share a tiny box with a true psycho fuckwit who fancies himself the 5th Beatle, the alky's decline is essentially running in parallel with Biden's. Both are in a precipitous cognitive slide, with the only question in my mind being which one hits rock bottom first. Presently I think it's too close to call, but the alky is full of surprises.

Bwaa, everyone I know in the investor class cheered the Trump economy. Lowest minority unemployment ever. Strongest economy in 50+ years. Booming stock market, real tax cuts for the middle class, and the list goes on.

Scott, Biden inherited the longest and most dangerous medical crisis in history. You know enough about economics to understand that he is not directly responsible for this situation because he has very little authority over this issue.
Again Roger...
He was elected President largely on the promise he would end Covid.
The wording to say that he "took over a medical crisis" is akin to blaming someone else for the crisis, when in fact it should be obvious to everyone that this is just a medical issue beyond government control.
If he seriously had zero plan on Covid other than to point fingers, perhaps that is what he should have campaigned on. He should have told everyone what his plan was going to be to blame other people for the fact that another 440,000 plus people would die in his first year.
But then... had he had been honest about his "plan" to point fingers and admission that he was a loser who had no real plan. He would have been buried in the election.
If you haven't heard Sen Cotton speech on the Senate floor today, you have to. More thsn awesome. I won't spoil the surprise. You'll know it when you hear it.

Well, it would have been strange for him to tell anyone that since all the experts were telling him what he repeated to our nation, namely that we really had at last "turned the corner on the virus" (as Trump FAR too prematurely claimed) and could from here on out expect things to be getting better so that we'd soon be putting this dreadful Covid experience behind us and safely opening up the schools, restaurants, theaters, etc., etc.
Then, however, Covid threw the world a curve nobody had foreseen or was expecting.
And you know deep down that's a FAR more accurate description of what really happended than what you keep saying.
Select Committee Wants to Hear from Kevin McCarthy
January 12, 2022 at 4:00 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 51 Comments
The House Select Committee investigating the Capitol insurrection invited Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to appear before the panel, Politico reports.
New York Times:
“The letter to Mr. McCarthy is the committee’s latest attempt to learn more about Mr. Trump’s actions as mob rioters stormed the building for hours on Jan. 6 and his mind-set in the days that followed. It made Mr. McCarthy, a California Republican, the highest-ranking lawmaker the panel has pursued in its inquiry.
“In particular, the panel said it was interested in a phone call that Mr. McCarthy had with Mr. Trump during the riot.”

Omicron Looms Over Congress
January 12, 2022 at 8:17 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 6 Comments
New York Times:
“Just when it seemed as if the atmosphere on Capitol Hill could not get worse, Omicron came to town. At least 129 House members and senators have announced a coronavirus infection since the outset of the pandemic, nearly a quarter of the lawmakers in Congress. A baker’s dozen announced infections in the last week alone. A mask mandate that has been only fitfully respected by Republicans in the House was turned up a notch to require only N95s and KN95s — and compliance is just as spotty.
“Social distancing is back; when the body of Harry Reid, the former Senate majority leader, lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda on Wednesday, chairs were arranged several feet apart. The grand atrium of the Capitol Visitor Center, once filled with tourists, has been reconfigured with stanchions to demarcate the Covid testing line for lawmakers and staff members.
“Schadenfreude is in full tilt.”

Only that is not what he "said" Reverend... or what he campaigned on.
If you are being truthful about what you believed the experts were saying at the time, then an appropriate campaign strategy would have been to say that Covid was a non-issue between the two candidates, because we had already turned the corner.
But rather, Biden DISHONESTLY stated that Trump should be accountable for the deaths and that he had no business still being President and that Trump had no plan... but that he (Biden) had a foolproof plan to stop Covid in its tracks.
it's impossible to be "honest" Reverend... when you misrepresent facts. That is the definition of dishonest.
Omicron Appears to Have Peaked In the Northeast

The surging Omicron variant appears to have peaked in parts of the Northeast, the New York Times reports.
“A huge surge in cases that lasts for about one month, followed by a rapid decline, would be consistent with the experience in some places where Omicron arrived earlier than in the U.S.”
However:
“In much of the country, cases are still soaring.
SPEAKING OF HONESTY AND DISHONESTY, IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE GROSSLY DISHONEST THAN THIS
Trump Allies Sent Fake Electoral College Certificates
January 13, 2022 at 10:00 am EST By Taegan Goddard 35 Comments
“In the weeks after the 2020 election, then-President Donald Trump’s allies sent fake certificates to the National Archives declaring that Trump won seven states that he actually lost. The documents had no impact on the outcome of the election, but they are yet another example of how Team Trump tried to subvert the Electoral College — a key line of inquiry for the January 6 committee,” CNN reports.
“The fake certificates were created by Trump allies in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico, who sought to replace valid presidential electors from their states with a pro-Trump slate.”

Republicans who falsified the Michigan electoral college vote are under scrutiny from Congress.
Trump Loyalists Join Forces to Take Over Election Process

“Extreme Republicans loyal to Donald Trump and his ‘big lie’ that the 2020 election was rigged have formed a nationwide alliance aiming to take control of the presidential election process in key battleground states that could determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential race,” The Guardian reports.
“At least eight Republicans who are currently running to serve as chief election officials in crucial swing states have come together to form the coalition.”
WOULD BE DICTATOR TRUMP CANNOT ADMIT HE LOST AND WILL TRY AGAIN TO SUBVERT THE NEXT ELECTIONS.
Psaki brushes off McConnell, calls criticisms of Biden’s speech ‘hilarious’

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took aim at critics of President Biden's speech on voting rights, calling objections to his vitriolic tone "hilarious."
"I know there has been a lot of claim of the offensive nature of the speech yesterday, which is hilarious on many levels, given how many people sat silently over the last four years for the former president," Psaki said during Wednesday's press briefing.
Psaki added that what "is more offensive is the effort to suppress people's basic right to exercise who they want to support and who they want to elect," arguing the election overhaul legislation should not be "a partisan thing."
"And that's why he gave such a strong speech yesterday," Psaki said.
Psaki's remarks come after Biden's speech promoting election overhaul legislation was characterized by some as "combative" and "aggressive," while Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the president's remarks "unpresidential."
McConnell said Biden "called millions of Americans his domestic enemies" in the speech and "shouted that if you disagree with him, you’re George Wallace."
"George Wallace?" McConnell questioned. "If you don’t pass the laws he wants, you’re Bull Connor, and if you oppose giving Democrats untrammeled, one-party control of the country, well you’re Jefferson Davis."
"How profoundly, profoundly unpresidential," McConnell continued. "Look, I’ve known, liked, and personally respected Joe Biden for many years. I did not recognize the man at the podium yesterday."
The minority leader's harsh words were in response to a portion of Biden's speech in which he implored lawmakers to support the Democratic-led effort to overhaul the U.S. election system, arguing that those who do not support the legislation will be compared to historical villains such as Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis.
"So I ask every elected official in America, how do you want to be remembered?" Biden said during remarks from the Atlanta University Center Consortium, on the campus of Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College. "Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?"
But Psaki brushed off McConnell's scathing critique, saying that Biden considers the Kentucky Republican "a friend" and considers McConnell's opposition to the voting rights legislation "disappointing."
"He considers Mitch McConnell a friend and that is true," Psaki said. "That is why it is even more disappointing that someone who has supported and advocated for voting rights in the past... and repeatedly voted for the extension of voting rights protections is on the other side of the argument now."
Psaki added that it was clear that Biden's remarks "struck a nerve" with some Republicans, but argued it is "more irresponsible, unbecoming, and divisive" for GOP-led states to "perpetuate the big lie" by passing election security legislation.
"We have seen evidence of that in 19 states which passed 34 laws attacking voting rights," Psaki said, adding "and that's why the President is standing up and made the passionate case he made yesterday."
MITCH ACCUSING BIDEN OF "demagoguery" REALLY IS HILARIOUS AFTER FOUR YEARS OF DEMAGOGUE DONALD.
