Each misstep by this slug is a feature, not a bug

Armageddon to be a habit with he

The economy he's harmed to ward off the global warm

Armageddon to be a habit with he

Donald Trump left the US with a sound economy

But Joe Biden has destroyed it and he did it all with glee

Oh, the prospect is drear as we look at two more years

Sprinkled with prating about "our democracy"

Let's hope we don't slide down to grinding poverty

Armageddon to be a habit with he---he did that!

Armageddon to be a habit with he...

---apologies to "You're Getting to Be a Habit With Me"

Way doesn't ever occur to these folks that a little bit of "cowboy" is a good thing?

Reagan got peace treaties with the Russkis, and ended the Cold War.

Trump all the bad actors behaved themselves and he got the Jerusalem Accords.

I think you mean "Abraham Accords", but, yes.  And we also had relative Russian quiescence under Trump.  Ditto Iran.

Thanks! Abraham Accords correct, my caffeine levels are not yet up to operational values!

It's pretty clear that these folks (and seemingly the entire Democrat party) has no intention of looking like a cowboy or having anything resembling a good economy. The current economy is a feature, not a bug.

And when we agree to send main battle tanks to Ukraine, those will be the Abrams Accords.

White House “walks back“ senile Joe’s statement that we are on the verge of nuclear Armageddon:

Given the crime rate, going out brings a new meaning to the old disco standard, "Stayin' Alive"

I was one; and yes, I did.

I went to see it in the theater with my sister and my dad.  It was a source of "inside jokes" among us for quite some time (since we knew my mom would not have approved of some of the humor).

Nowadays, a lot looks dated - no Hari Krishnas in an airport.

But a long time ago, I went to a JC Penny and got a cheap winter jacket - and said "Now I know why the guy in Airplane! was so excited about a sale at Penny's"

I'll have to explain that "smoking or non-smoking?" ticket joke to Little OR one day.  (But that's one aspect of the Good Old Days I do not miss.)

I remember when cars had cigarette lighters and ashtrays!

I also remember when my aunt got a car a lot like this (but a 4-door) and complained the car wash didn't wash under the tail fins

My car is a 2016 model, and has a lighter, and at least something that could serve as an ashtray.

I am surprised. I have had a power outlet that was based on the lighter, but not the insert that got hot, in cars built after the 1980's.

Isn't that the truth.  Actually I was hoping to go to a local bar that had soul music tonight, 10.00 cover charge .  I stayed home instead, that's what I do these days.  It's not fun to get old.
