Moody's is the final credit rating agency to downgrade US debt after the

market closed on Friday, but the big news is Axiom released the Hur tapes on Biden to keep this important story alive(sarcasm).

Some cynical folks might think this is a distraction.

Boy they are working overtime time to try and destroy all the accomplishments Biden did.

This is almost as bad as the obsession they had with Hillary.

Supposedly the current administration is talking about a nuclear agreement with Iran, but I have to wonder if anyone will bring up that there was already a deal under Obama until trump blew it up?

Boy Barnum was right, "A sucker is born every minute", and the American public lead the way.

White House smear, yday May 2025: "If Moody's had any credibility, they would not have stayed silent as the fiscal disaster of the past four years unfolded".

Yet Biden and Obama also criticized previous downgrades by S&P in 2011 and by Fitch in 2023.
Biden/Yellen called Fitch arbitrary and outdated. Rest assured trumps comments will be more vulgar and inflammatory.
