Ever seen that movie "2012" with John Cusack? Every time anyone from the Biden administration talks reminds me of the scene where Governor Schwarzenegger is reading from the script of a false narrative from a teleprompter. "The worst is behind us." Then California gets completely destroyed before he is even done talking.

She didn’t mention a single change.
What a non-answer

[warrenoutley]

Imagine going to the bank and demanding another loan because you can’t make your mortgage payment… again ! This is what this administration is demanding”.

[brianhersey]

the monopoly of banking is taking shape right in front of us.

[whoopiecushiondisco]

So what are these so called 'unique vulnerabilities' that KJP continuously uses to describe why these 3 banks got into trouble? She doesn't seem to be able to expand on that, just labels it to try and explain the reason. 🙄.

[colbythom]

They don’t have unique situations. They were over leveraged and ran out of money..

[dropdeadinc.customtattoo]

Watching a White House press briefing with KJP at the podium is painful and pointless

[juanrendon]

The sale to JP Morgan is to prevent information getting out

[mikee]

Guess kjp is having a bad hair day again
