Problem is, Obama left Trump an incredible economy. People that don't pay attention think Trump deserved credit for this.

Similarly, Biden was left a smoldering pile of ash from Trump. Inflation was real, and even if it could be blamed on covid, Biden was not a good messenger, so everybody just blamed him and Harris.

So maybe people saw this question and thought, do I prefer the economy of 2016-2020 or 2020-2024?

People are dumb. Another interesting one is "Who do you trust to handle crime?". Somehow the felon wins that one too.

    I only just realized he renamed an airport after himself. Like, what the fuck did you do to deserve that?

    He truly is envious of the authoritarians leaders in other countries.

    I know people joke, but I truly hope he lives lot enough to see his legacy dismantled.

    There was a time when only Republicans talked about what socialism was. It was all lies. I think as more people hear a fair representation of it (or at lest democratic socialism) most will prefer it.

    They placed a new amendment on the November ballot, also called Amendment 3, that would restore Missouri’s abortion ban while allowing limited exceptions but also constitutionally prohibit gender transition care for minors — though the state has banned surgeries and new prescriptions of puberty blockers and hormones by law since August 2023.

    In 2024, a yes vote on Amendment 3 protected abortion rights. In November, voters will again be asked to vote yes on Amendment 3 — this time to take them away.

    Yet supporters want voters focused on the specter of children being used as lab guinea pigs, not the abortion rights the amendment would repeal. A new billboard in the St. Louis suburbs urges them to vote yes and “ban transgender surgeries for minors.”

    A website for the political action committee behind the campaign, Her Health, Her Future — whose treasurer is Missouri first lady Claudia Kehoe — declares “OUR CHILDREN are not LAB EXPERIMENTS.” It says Amendment 3 would protect children from “harmful, sterilizing medical procedures” and restore “common sense health and safety standards” for women’s health clinics.

    Neither message explicitly says that the amendment would repeal the constitutional right to abortion that Missourians approved two years ago.

     

    "There Will Be Blood would stand a better chance to be in number 1 or number 2 if it didn't have a big giant flaw in it, and the flaw is Paul Dano," he said on the most recent episode of The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, noting that he doesn't think the actor could keep up with Daniel Day-Lewis' Oscar-winning performance. "Obviously, it's supposed to be a two-hander, and it's also so drastically obvious that it's not a two-hander."

    Tarantino continued to insult Dano's abilities. "He is weak sauce, man. He's a weak sister," he said.

    "So you put him with the weakest male actor in SAG?" Tarantino responded. "The limpest dick in the world?"

    The filmmaker later clarified, "I'm not saying he's giving a terrible performance. I'm saying he's giving a non-entity performance."

    Ellis then asked if Tarantino had ever enjoyed Dano in any project. "I don't care for him," the filmmaker responded. "I don't care for him, I don't care for Owen Wilson, and I don't care for Matthew Lillard."

     

    2 eggs, turkey, stuffing, hash brown casserole, dumplings and gravy. And all the cheese. Garnish with some cranberry sauce. Salt and pepper to taste.

    Apologies for the lack of picture. I ate it already…

    Edit: I made another one. Here’s pics before and after the extra cheese. Also, I added dumplings after.

     

    If Abbott had stuck with the story that this was purely political gamesmanship, the court would likely have allowed the redraw to stand, based on Supreme Court precedent effectively sanctioning partisan gerrymanders. But by repeatedly tying the process to a court ruling that changed the racial makeup of who can bring legal challenges under the Voting Rights Act, Abbott “explicitly directed the Legislature to redistrict based on race,” Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote in the ruling that blocked Texas’ new map.
