Oh that's a comedian bit. Um. Grr. John Mulaney?

That's from 2009 and it looks like Lebowitz said it just before the 2016 election. So, it looks like Mulaney wins, although, I wouldn't be surprised if someone said something similar before that since Trump has basically been living like that for decades.

I reiterate, they're only one tiny fractional measure of actual intelligence, so it should be taken with a giant grain of salt.

128? Pft. You’re barely qualified to be my butler.

They should totally be taken with a giant grain of salt. Unless you get a really high score then it's legit.

It sounds like somebody else scored in the 120's.

Why would you take anything without a grain of salt?

Salt is awesome and makes everything better!

Fries? Salt them up!
Soup? A dash of salt is great!
Caramel? Sea salt makes it ha-amazing!

You think your Rocky Mountain air is nice? Let me introduce you to the salty ocean breeze!

You forgot how much better Oilers fans are with salt.

The Lincoln Project is just GOP PR so I'll take any excuse to call them out.

If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.

Sure, I hope this devil can successfully convince people not to vote for Trump. But still, #### those guys.

Fascinating data from Pew Research on the decline of America's reputation and confidence in the country from our allies under Trump. The 13 country survey examined many of the factors that make up the image of the United States and found some predictable yet alarming results.

https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2...=pocket-newtab

Favorable view of the United States has hit an all time low among our allies.



The response to COVID was very damaging.



Confidence in the President has hit all time lows.



Trump is trusted less than any major leader, including some unsavory characters. Confidence is not much better.





In Canada, one-in-five Canadians have confidence in Trump. Come on you one-in-five Canadians, get your head out of your asses!

UK Snowbirds have had their winter trips/second homes affected significantly by Brexit, and I'm sure that's made some local economies (in Spain especially) more volatile.
