453
I don't have much to say today. Instead of 453, I could have written "Heads Rammed in Rumps," which seems to summarize both current foreign and domestic policy. Biden's disapproval rating is now up to 55%; the possibility of the Democrats not getting buried this November is quite small. In addition, when asked what were the most pressing issues for them, something like 60% said the economy (read: inflation), and 3% said US foreign policy. Which is to say that the war in the Ukraine is not big on Americans' hit parade. Biden is doing nothing to curb inflation, and is trying to send $40 billion in military aide to the Ukraine. So do the math, as they say.
