the oil and oil money [the GOP-dominated federal government has] seized from [Venezuela] is “one of the largest assets to ever go on the U.S. balance sheet.” Billions and billions of dollars.

…Did Trump take the oil and the money from the oil? Bessent refuses to say. Trump refuses to say. Nobody, in fact, in the Trump regime will tell us where that money is or who controls it or even who’s making the money accrued on its interest.

        Bessent did try that fucking LAME bullshit to start talking about Biden again. Loved that guy that asked him when the statute of limitations ends on the Biden Blame Game, LOL.

        I also saw that little smug weasel Mike Johnson pull the same nonsense, just recently. They act like they were really having to drag this economy out of the ditch after Biden and that they’ve been fixing things ever since, and that’s the exact opposite of reality. When Biden left, the economy was the envy of the world and the cons, as is typical, proceeded to blow it up.

        But in the world of the cons, up is down, black is white.

          We are nearly at the 2 year mark and bullshit artists like Bessent are still blaming Biden.

          It was ridiculous even when they first came into office (the economy was the envy of the world) and it is positively cartoonish now.
