Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

As a good Democratic Party voter, I will vote in both districts using mail in ballots and at least a few times in St. Louis, probably without me even needing to do anything. Vote early vote often!

@Max - Don't worry, I don't live in St. Louis, I just vote there.

Don't wear your watch or any jewelry when in St. Louis.

All you have to do is just look at the new map. If you can't figure it out, you probably should not be voting.
