A serious question; Why are Biden's poll numbers so low?

By any objective measure Biden has been a very successful president. The economy is doing well and he has passed many bills that have a direct and positive impact on people's lives. So why is his approval rate at 38%?

IMHO I think it's inflation. I spent $12 at McDonald's for a meal that was $7 not too long ago. $100 dollars at the supermarket doesn't buy much. No matter how good the economy is, when inflation is high people get angry.

But there might be other reasons; personality, age, ineffective messaging. I'm not saying any of these are the reason, I'm just suggesting possibilities. It's a question that must be answered if we are to defeat TFG and preserve democracy.

Question 4 lawyers: when is a lie a crime (besides in court or to a LEO)?

We all know that trump lies everyday about everything. My question is; when he goes in front of the cameras and lies about the election being stolen, is that conspiracy or free speech? Can trump claim that he has the right to say anything he wants as long as he's not under oath?

The devious plan to screw the 2024 election on Trump's behalf

Banning crude oil exports would not only be a good thing for the planet; it would also insulate our nation from the whims of overseas autocrats.

National energy independence could be sold to voters — and, thus, to Republicans — as the patriotic thing to do. It’s a national security issue as much as anything else, after all, and that sales pitch often has a broader political appeal than simply “doing the right thing” or trying to mitigate global warming.
