Perhaps an even more telling- even saddening - demonstration of how popular butker's views are. His T-shirt is now the highest selling one in the NFL store.

I think part of that is that sports in general is turning into a clique for reactionary bearded men. Even real sports like football seem to be turning into MMA or NASCAR in terms of the type of fandom it attracts.

It doesn't help that football is horribly boring to watch now because of the penalties and commercial breaks. You'd have to be pretty weird to enjoy watching two hours of commercial breaks and another hour of watching people stand around waiting for the official review of every other play.

So it seems the newest change in Belousov’s MOD is to lie even more shamelessly about the front than they did before. In the past few days they lied about taking over Robotyne, Bilohorivka, Krynky, and southern Vovchansk

It is endlessly funny to me that a half-senile 77-year-old who:

-Has a terrible recruitment record,
-Has a terrible midterm record,
-Has lost as many elections as he has won,
-Is incredibly unpopular with his own party's institutions despite being one of the most popular among his party's base
-Ran literally the most inept, disorganized administrations in modern American history,
-Achieved practically none of his party's goals during a time when they had a friggin' TRIFECTA,

is somehow just going to win and cancel democracy. The GOP does not sh!t these kind of bricks over Biden, s'all i'm saying.

Which party goals?
He put a pro-birth Supreme Ciurt
He passed tax cuts.
Isn't that what the party wanted?

Minnesota or Vermont.

Most lifelong octogenarian GOPers

It's more complicated than that because Trump's base skews very Catholic/ex-Catholic secular compared to generic R and Catholics in 1960 voted for Kennedy by nearly the margin black people in 2008/12 voted for Obama.  Therefore this particular configuration should be rarer than baseline partisan and life expectancy numbers would suggest.

No, they didn't.

The US is factually not in a recession. Pointing this out is not being elitist nor is it "not listening to Americans". There's clearly a huge misunderstanding of what the word recession means coupled with a serious disinfo problem.

The thing is all of this doesn't really matter.

Because what matters is purchasing power and if people feel life goods are becoming more expensive and if the party in power ignores purchasing power of people (which also drives economy) than people will start to believe there is a recession, because well for them it is.

It also seems to differ from state to state whether there is a recession or not. Someone pointed out than the Sun Belt states are in a recession while the Midwestern states are less so.

Eventually some people will vote with their wallet and compare 2016-2020 to 2020-2024 and they'll eventually go with Trump because of that.

Good lord, the U.S. is not in a recession. We’re in a period of very strong economic growth. Moreover, wages have risen faster than inflation for a year and real wages are even higher than Trump’s term. 2020-2021 briefly inflated household budgets due to Covid stimulus payments but I doubt anybody wants to go back to that time.

What’s happening right now is that half the country is still whining about the economy to score political points and the media is running with it. I hope the Biden campaign absolutely floods the airwaves and social media with the truth, because right now we are witnessing a massive disinformation campaign in action.

I hope Biden does the same, since that is a recipe for a landslide loss.

Really is an amazing joke. This is a congress bill by a Republican actually but can someone actually explain to why this bill is so bad? It just seems like FARA like in the US.

Is water wet?
