My understanding is he is the son of the mamas and papas dude. His sister was in Wilson Phillips.

My understanding is he is the son of the owner of the elite restaurant chain Phillips Seafood, who coincidently is also was the founder of duPont's Philips Collection and more amazingly, his great-granddad was the inventor of the Phillips Screwdriver.
(George Santos told me this, so not sure if it's true)

oh yeah, space is correct.

His step-grandmother was also Dear Abby.
Phillips was born to DeeDee (Cohen) and Artie Pfefer in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1969.[10] Artie was killed in the Vietnam War when Phillips was six months old. DeeDee later married Eddie Phillips, heir to the Phillips Distilling Company and the son of advice columnist Pauline Phillips.

In his first interview as a Senate candidate, Peter Meijer says he stands by his vote to impeach Trump *and* will support Trump's 2024 presidential run.

It’s just amazing to see how unpopular Biden is according to polls.
The country is at peace. The country is safe. The economy is managing to continue growing even when everyone believes it should be in a recession.
Yet, it doesn’t resonate.
The current context is beginning to remind me of 2000.

At my polling place this morning, a nice old lady was collecting signatures to get Biden on the ballot. As we finished talking, she kind of gave a sad "i hope things aren't close". Kind of bummed me out…even she didn't really seem to believe it, at least at this point.

before freaking out about any polls A YEAR before the election, have a look at the methodologies: those polls still rely largely, or entirely, on cold phone calls to land-lines. so the population polled is land-line owners who are willing to pick up a call from an unknown number… i'll let you infer what age group & demographic that greatly, greatly over-represents.

The answer is: Dean Phillips!

Inflation is incredibly high. Hunter Biden's behavior was, at best, shady. The climate is on fire. Totalitarianism strongment are winning the world over. Biden has given up on inspiring anyone and has decided to play it safe and be better than the alternative. And add in the fact that he just cannot communicate. Of course he's unpopular, he's not even trying to be popular.

Basically since Obama, I've given up completely… Couldn't care less who wins at this point. All the front runners are bums.

Trying but can’t blame Biden for any of it….even having a shady son
The most I could blame him for is the additional stimulus check once he took power adding to inflation pressures …but that was a tough call in early 2021…still in retrospect looks like an error… yet the US economy weathered covid better than any other so there is that
One can hardly blame Biden for the March of authoritarianism or climate change…that was already happening and not really things a US President can address by himself

Being president of the US rules…most powerful person in the world who has exactly zero ability to influence things for the better!

I blame Biden for pleny of policy.
But it's his inability to actually communicate that is the real thing dragging him down. Whatever you think about Trump, he is an effective communiactor.
