Sounds about rightUh huh….
“So let’s take stock of what the likely Republican presidential nominee wants voters to believe. First, the economy is terrible, and people should definitely blame Biden. Second, parts of the economy are great, and people should definitely credit Trump.
And third, when people see economic data that might make them feel better about the resilient U.S. economy, they should assume that the figures are “fake,” unless Trump likes the data, in which case he’ll claim credit for the good news”.
As U.S. economic recovery leads the world, Trump seeks credit
Trump can’t seem to decide between “blame Joe Biden for the bad economy” and “credit me for the good economy,” so he’s pushing both lines simultaneously.
Agreed. I think most of us that are pretty jaded in this respect are referring more to politicians on the national stage, senator, congressman, governor, president, etc. I think a lot of local politicians particularly on city councils, truly do care about their people, mainly because they live there and interact with them frequently. As opposed to say, senators that change districts to ensure they win the vote regardless of where they actually reside.
Good stuff. I'm doing just as good or better financially now than I was 5 or 6 years ago. Making quite a bit more per hour/year and my 401k is doing really really well

Yesterday was an interesting day to survey the social landscape. The information silos the curation algorithms construct are seldom as obvious as they were yesterday. For those who resonate with anti-Trump content, this Quinnipiac poll was all they heard. For those who resonate with pro-Trump content, it was news of the Morning Consult / Bloomberg poll that filled their feed. Both sides were stoked and neither side knew why the opposition was happy because each only had half of the news.Being both the ultimate hero and the ultimate victim is a tough shield to crack, an impenetrable tough armored cocoon where his followers are concerned. He certainly knew what he was doing in knowing how to take the country by storm. I wonder if some kind of critical mass can be reached regarding his insane social post rants? They really are going right off the charts. Will I wake up some day and discover that the country is so exhausted by his nonsense, that overnight people begin to wake from their stupor, and more and more see insanity rather than salvation?
Anyway, new Quinnipiac poll….

"The gender demographic tells a story to keep an eye on. Propelled by female voters in just the past few weeks, the head-to-head tie with Trump morphs into a modest lead for Biden," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
I didn't know of any polls yesterday.
I knew about both. I think you did it better than I did.
Senator Cassidy has TDS. No one can read the bill because there is no bill.
I know you want to believe the Democrat-controlled Senate cannot craft a bill because of Republicans and/or Trump even though it makes zero sense due to the Senate not needing any Republicans to create or pass a bill in the Senate. The real reason the Senate is having such a problem crafting a bill is because the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the membership of both groups being 100% Democrat, have both been fighting against it.
