Obviously only someone with shit for brains would actually think like that, so, good trolling.
Under Democrats, the economy always improves, and under Republicans, it always tanks.
As well as blue states have been paying the bills for red states for decades.
Its more complicated than that. I would have probably agreed with you 10 years ago.
At the state level, where they have had a super majority of Democrat or Republican for decades the economic problems tend to pile up. California and NY have taken massive hits since 2008 and then were hit hard recently due to their anti-lockdown and then gung-ho over response lockdowns.
In red states, there are economies that just haven't pivoted since decades ago and are some of the poorest. Though Democrats aren't much better with cities that were reliant on manufacturing being crushed by outsourcing and global competition.
In recent history Clinton facilitated mass outsourcing and deregulation, Bush wasted billions/trillions on war enough to rebuild countries went to Dem/Rep family businesses, Obama facilitated the greatest upward shift of wealth in US history, Trump had a decent economy but his policies were all over the place and were very short term reactive which can set things up to fail, Brandon is a poor copy of Obama and is constantly looking for ways to print money and increase inequality.
If it was up until 2000, I would have agree that democrat states had some of the power house economies. California and NY are on the path to bankruptcy now. Something went majorly wrong with Democrat economic management. Brandon is just trying to get the speed run record for the destruction of the US, with the worst performance since Carter.
Dubya was the dumbest president until Brandon came along. Potato makes Nucular look like a Rhodes Scholar. They're both crooked as fuck.
I agree, although I still think Trump was only slightly smarter (and not above being a bit crooked, but the major difference is that Bush administration was corrupt and in the pocket of Haliburton, where Trump just used the office to push business his way (things like making the secret service protecting Melania pay for their rooms on his properties).
And Obama doesn't value transparency or freedom or he'd not have gone after Snowden.
Presidents have sucked for a long time. I still think Jimmy Carter at least had his heart in the right place, even if his presidency also sucked.

Bush jr. really wasn't that dumb. 90% of his dumbness was created by picky media coverage or a result of his stutter, which is a speech impediment and not indicative of intelligence. If you read his book or some of the essays he's written he's clearly not a stupid guy. Maybe not the most suitable for presidency, but not stupid.
I think GWB really got unlucky in that he ruled during a time in which people still believed the network news and still weren't quite aware of how slanted the coverage was in talk shows and such. Meanwhile the media had already largely morphed into what it has been recognized as during the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations. Few people would assume that any media outlet is unbiased when it comes to the three latest presidents, but people still trusted the New York Times or Washington Post or whatever John Stewart had to say during the Bush era. Not that NYT or WP haven't gotten significantly worse in the past 20 years, but at least people are now aware.
Also, and this might be more of my own fringe theory, I genuinely believe that television has for decades brainwashed people to perceive anyone with certain accents as stupid, regardless of what they say. It works subconsciously even if you're aware of how ridiculous that is.

[en.wikipedia.org] Third Amendment stops the government from quartering its soldiers on your property for free. The British liked to do that as a way of eliminating cost to their government. Pushing a private property owner to quarter for free any government staff or police force would certainly be ruled by the Courts as falling under the Third Amendment.

I think he was a puppet for the most part. Not dumb, but gullible and overly trusting of his advisors.

You ignore that they didn't have to stay at trump venues. He could have gone to others' places to avoid the conflict of interest. He did not.

The worst conflict of interest was actually the multi-level marketing scheme legislation that was supported by democrats that allowed them to avoid being sued and being prosecuted as pyramid schemes. Trump stands to make millions from that deal.
Trump's counter claim was that the FBI was illegally surveilling him so he needed to stay at his own venues. I thought it was a BS but turns out to be true.... I think Trump thought it was BS at the time though... but it was the truth due to Hillary / Biden corruption.
On the other hand we have Brandon Inc. Energy deals, property deals, finance deals and military industrial deals.. the list is extensive. The most hilarious was the Hunter Biden facilitated the CCP to buy tech and aeronautical engineering firms in the US that would otherwise be blocked and it allowed the CCP and Russia to fast track hypersonic nuclear weapons platforms by a decade that can't be intercepted by current US missile defenses.
Staying at hotels vs Compromising domestic security and the US's geopolitical power. Now China and Russia can say 'our nukes can hit you, stay out of our way' and the US has to resort to a propaganda and economic war, which they aren't even winning outright.
Maybe Biden is the an hero that we deserve.'
edit: They have had to take the 'truth meter" off a lot of fact checks about Brandon and Hunter because they can not say it is false anymore.
Thats sneaky, on google they still have the result 'no evidence to support the claim' but on the actual pages they have removed that statement.

I'd hope that's just because of Google having a cache.

Biden has another "win". Biden can claim that as America switches to electric vehicles, car deaths are no longer the leading cause of death for American youth. The leftist Snopes fact checking media firm would Fact Check that as a yes. That's because gun deaths have replaced car accidents as the number one cause of deaths for American Youth since Biden took over.
A separate study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in February, found that 7.5 million US adults - just under 3% of the population - became first-time gun owners during the pandemic between January and April 2021. What does it mean that when Biden becomes president, more first-time gun owners get a gun?

Maybe... it does look like they have a separate category for hybrid electric vehicles but depends which stat they are quoting. Car accidents actually went through the roof after the lock downs were lifted due to people being out of practice.
Here people went nuts road racing during the pandemic, then normies came back like it was demolition rally and were crashing all over the place. When lock down was first lifted, I nearly died a few times with people just going through lights and other crazy shit.

Defundists and radical communists all went out and got guns. Of course didn't do proper training so accidental deaths occurred.
Was it really an accident when FBI was spamming messages at ANTIFA to tell them that proud boys or Andy No were nearby so they went skitzo and shot people or attacked randoms....
Not entirely sure the purpose of that activity other than to cause more chaos.

Generates events for FBI agents and support companies to keep them employed in the field on per diem?
It's amazing how little of the chaos was recorded or reported except for brave journalists like Andy Ngô. In Portland, there was even ANTIFA signage and grafitti asking people to be aware of Andy and to kill him when found. Besides guns, ANTIFA also carried paintball guns that can painfully persuade bystanders and counter-protesters to not video record them.
No one is addressing the issue of mental health. The people who shoot up schools and grocery stores are mental cases. People who keep firearms and use them responsibly feel like they're being punished. Take away guns all you want but the criminals will be the ones left using them.
2020 riots, no Democrat cared about gun laws when people were getting shot in their cities and chop zones, just like they don't care how many gang and drug cartel members, terrorists and other criminals are coming over here unchecked across the open border in Texas. Brandon has absolutely no right to say anything political about the massacre when he won't even protect our borders.
Schools need to have gates around them, cameras everywhere, panic buttons like banks have, security guards and solid locking doors, etc. But school buses don't even have seat belts so good luck with that.
