Scrolling through the news this AM and I see two articles about Biden just a few articles apart. The first article is an opinion piece entitled, "Biden Apandons Israel". The 2nd article is entitled, "Second Administration Official Resigns in Protest of Biden's Support for Israeli War in Gaza".
It ain't easy being POTUS.

All kinds of incorrect thinking here, imo. Stupidity knows no boarders. Americans are no smarter or stupider on average than people from anywhere else.
A good number of the super rich Americans I know (more than I would like, really, due to my job) did not earn their money at all. They inherited it, and generations of marrying lazy rich people have not led to high intelligence or anything else desirable.
Many of the super rich today are in the banking industry. One doesn’t need high intelligence to be a banker or good salesman, etc. You need a certain smile, charm and heartlessness.
Indeed, most of the really intelligent people I know are too smart to dress up like assholes and worship the dollar to be super rich.

Did you guys see the numbers for the misery index? That is inflation plus seasonally adjusted unemployment. For those of you that had debt or savings in 1980, this will be no surprise, but the misery index was 30 that year. And it's averaged 8 for all the 2000's. Now the misery index is 6.
All hail Dark Brandon, inflation killer.

Economic disaster? Foreign policy disaster? Yep, I remember those disasters from Trump's presidency.
War? He tried to start a few but was stopped from doing so due to checks and balances that he swears to remove if he should get another chance.
He even wanted to nuke a hurricane, if you recall.
What was your point again?

Texas Lt. Governor: Old People Should Volunteer to Die to Save the Economy
According to Dan Patrick “lots of grandparents” are willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause.

After doing a brief, weeklong impression of a semiresponsible human being, on Monday, Donald Trump got back to the business of being a reckless, anti-science moron, floating the idea that we should end this social-distancing business sooner rather than later in order to “save” the economy from the coronavirus. (We’re using scare quotes here because apparently the president hasn’t considered the fact that if hundreds of thousands or even millions of Americans die, the economy will be in worse shape than it is now.) Following his National Economic Council chairman’s declaration that “we’re gonna have to make some difficult trade-offs,” i.e. we’re going to have to let some people die so the stock market can live, Trump told reporters

Trump's volunteers stepped up. This, after Trump talked about the magical properties of HCQ. I wish it came from The Onion but, sadly, no.
Man dies after taking chloroquine in an attempt to prevent coronavirus
The man and his wife thought the ingredient, used to treat sick fish, could prevent the disease.
A man died after ingesting a substance he thought would protect him from coronavirus

The man's wife told NBC News she'd watched televised briefings during which President Trump talked about the potential benefits of chloroquine. Even though no drugs are approved to prevent or treat COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, some early research suggests it may be useful as a therapy.

Yeah, that's what baffles me. To think Trump was "commander in chief". Omfg How does "Corporal Bonespurs" become the guy that is the one in charge of it all? And, how is it there a chance in hell he could occupy that office again? Absolute insanity.Trump's volunteers stepped up. This, after Trump talked about the magical properties of HCQ.
