• Gave 324 billion dollars to the Iranian regime

I'm guessing that Trump created a way for him or his family to siphon off a chunk of this, and that's what prompted it to begin with. Man loves his slush funds, and maybe after the 1.8B "Reparation" fund was scrapped he needed to look elsewhere. I don't buy the pressure of the mid-terms forcing him to make a deal that looks this bad, even to his own party.

Dollars to donuts, he's found a way to enrich himself even further with this "investment" fund and it's the primary incentive for him to push this down America's throat.

That shit is not even subtle in Clownhouse.

My guess is it's becoming more of a problem now because of CPI growth and unemployment, shoplifting is becoming more of a problem. All the grocery stores near me have started checking receipts at the door over the last few months after having self-checkouts for years and years.

Weirdly enough, I'd say they're both undeniably beat by cricketer Don Bradman. If you check career test batting average records, #2-5 vary by only a few points (~61-63)...but Bradman? He's in first with a goddamn 99.94 batting average, a countless number of standard deviations away from second place. This would be like if Josh Gibson, the baseball player with the highest batting average in history, batted a .583 (instead of his actual .371) while Ty Cobb batted a paltry .366 in second place.

Bradman was a legendary athlete.
