Maybe the minor leagues. Biden and Co. literally made an empire out of influence peddling, offering essentially nothing but maybe some STDs in return. That's pro-level.

Easy, people aren’t nearly as smart as they like to think. We love to worship the idea that humans are the ultimate rational beings, but in reality, we’re just emotional messes running on instinct. Take the orange cult followers, for example: their emotional hangover with the leader lights up the amygdala, that ancient brain junkyard where logic goes to die. So they happily ignore any facts that don’t cozy up to their feelings. Hopefully, someday evolution gifts us a bigger prefrontal cortex, the tiny part of the brain that actually does the thinking before we drag ourselves into extinction. But I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Exactly, Biden’s grift was exponentially worse.

Oh, do tell. Biden made maybe tens of millions over his political career. How many hundreds of millions do you suppose Nero has pocketed in the last 100 days? Critical thinking is evidently not your forte.

As we cut medicaid Medicare and education as the poor get more poor and the middle class slides down. Do you see more first class seats being installed? American is doing the opposite and creating more lower income seats in class below the low.

Really is that why the new AA 787 have double the biz class seats? Or the 777 300 going from 50 to 70?

Didn't they (and others) announce they were doing that 2+ years ago to compete with the ULCCs?

At least with Trump, we know who is in charge. With oatmeal brain, we literally had no idea who was running things. He “signed” quite a few directives with “auto pen.” If it doesn’t, that should scare the ever loving Jesus out of you.
