S&P 500 Hit Another Record High Today! Under Biden, it's growing faster than Trump's during the same time period: 54% vs 51% (inauguration thru Oct 18).

Voting based on the economy? The obvious choice is Biden. Stop pretending Trump has any clue about economic stuff.

Packers beat the Cardinals for the 47th time in history, 13-34 at Lambeau.

#2 Packers vs Cardinals (1921)
#3 Packers vs Bears (1921 - a week later!)

[Packers Trivia Book Author @packer_land]

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

In 2020, one of the main reasons I voted for Joe Biden was because I wanted trump out of office.

PERIOD.

Don't get me wrong: I knew Joe was a good guy, and he had a ton of useful experience in politics as well as in the White House, but he wasn't my first choice, and I wasn't expecting much.

But NOW I'm voting for Biden in November mainly because he blew my expectations of him all the way out of the damn water.

He's already the most legislatively successful President in the modern era, having signed key consequential bills into law, like the Infrastructure bill, the PACT Act, the CHIPs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Now, millions of Americans have insulin capped at $35/month.

The infrastructure bill is so good that Republicans who voted against it are clamoring to take credit for the funds going into their states.

He recovered and created a total of 15 million jobs. The last time unemployment was under 4% this long, we put a man on the moon for the first time.

Here's a new one, that not a lot of people are talking about, but it's a BFD: if you've ever had a flight delayed for hours or canceled, or lost your luggage, you'll love this: automatic compensation, within 20 days, and you don't even have to spend hours on the phone to make it happen.

He's gone after bullshit junk fees that companies charge us, death by a thousand cuts of mystery, mounting fees.

I prefer my President to be hard-working, compassionate, intelligent, and thoughtful.

I prefer my President to respect our NATO alliances, and the role we play in the world.

I prefer my President to respect our fallen soldiers, and not to see them as "suckers and losers."

I prefer my President who wants to leave the world, and his office, in better shape than he found it.

I prefer President Biden. 🙏💪

Epic description

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”
