Which is more amazing: the fact that America has vastly outperformed other advanced economies without higher inflation, or the fact that Biden gets no credit?

I am so pro big market teams with big payrolls winning, it’s how it always always is done (despite what skinflint billionaires have convinced far too many, there is no honor in “doing it ‘smarter’”). Even if one of them is the Yankees.

If someone asked me to write a piece about why the gender divide is such a noticeable feature of our politics, #1 is reproductive rights and misogyny, but well before I'd get to "male loneliness" I'd do "men are socialized to believe they should always feel important and never feel shame"

This could be looked at as an example of how bad Republicans are at politics. Instead, let it be a reminder there isn't a single issue that most Americans agree side with Republicans on.

No lib posting but the gaslighting of living through the media spiking Howard Dean for yelling funny, swift boating Kerry, even Hillarys emails, to watch them shrug as a blood and soil coup-attempting rapist spends 15 minutes at a rally talking about Arnold Palmers giant hog is extremely fucked up
