This isn't complicated.
Sure it is. When Putin had 60% approval under Trump, he didn't go out and kill 40% of Russians.
Pretty sure the world would have caught that.
Looks like you graduated to PDS.
87% under Biden.

Well Putin is way more popular that Trump. He keeps winning elections over and over again. We don't doubt elections without hard proof you know!
Putin had internal polling at 60% while Trump was in office. He hit an all time high of 87% under Biden.
Putin's public endorsement of Biden seems strangely accurate.

Don't you think it's a bit weird for you to be targeted for an investigation?

That's OK, when Trump weaponizes the government to control the media, then the public will be able to see his side.

Pft, war propaganda isn't all Russian.
America and her allies have killed 10x more than Russia from Iraq on up without even a pause.
That's some serious deflection.

Because the guy is a crackpot conspiracy theorist whose own family doesn't take his candidacy seriously.
False: He has 12% of serious support in the country, more than enough support to qualify for the Democrat Primary.
But he is a danger to the establishment, and Biden will have to put him in jail as well to have a shot at "winning"
Biden has zero chance retaining his dictatorship through actual (D)emocracy.
Unlike Bernie Sanders, RFK isn't a quitter.

Probably zero since he publicly supported Biden for free.

Maybe. If Kiev killing hundreds of thousands of people in the Donbas for daring to ask for independence didn't outrage people in 2014, then what's a few more 100k killed going to matter? Many people still back the killing in Israel. It's all a spectator sport at this point.

RFK says Biden is a greater threat to democracy than Trump.
RFK thinks eliminating your competition through means OTHER than a democratic ballot is a dire threat to democracy.
What a silly notion. Threats to (D)emocracy should never be reduced to logic.

You do realize Trump is going to exploit the hell out of mail in and early voting this year. Excusing oversight this time is literally supporting Trump.

"Two years ago, a congressional election in North Carolina was thrown out in the face of evidence of tampering with absentee ballots. Because fraud is more prevalent with mail-in ballots, increased use of those ballots raises the likelihood that courts will be asked to adjudicate questions that go to the heart of election confidence."
"We are fortunate that many of the cases we have seen alleged only improper rule changes, not fraud. But that observation provides only small comfort. An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence. Also important is the assurance that fraud will not go undetected."
-Some discredited SCOTUS judge, allegedly.

Someone earning 15 dollars an hour probably would never be able to own a home. Maybe somewhere super rural they could. 15 dollars an hour still wouldn't be enough for someone to chase the american dream of owning a home.
I believe that with the current inflated prices, you need to earn 6 figures to purchase a median priced home in many cities. Wage price fixing has the effect of raising all prices, including homes.
If you want to see lower prices, tell the government to stop stealing so much, stop regulating home production so much, stop limiting free choices about what people can do with their property, and start protecting private property rights again.

laissez faire free trade would necessarily lead to 'a race to the bottom' given that there is effectively an infinite labor pool globally.
Your argument that "laissez-faire free trade would inevitably result in a "race to the bottom" due to the presence of an infinite global labor pool"
is founded on a slew of false premises.
Free trade exploits comparative advantages, not workers. Every nation that has engaged in consenting trade has mutually benefited on a macro scale, and every consumer benefits on a micro scale due to the exploitation of comparative advantages.
The simplistic notion of the existence of an "infinite global labor pool" overlooks the role of supply and demand dynamics in labor markets. There is a demand and a supply for everything, including labor. Labor is never immune to the rules of economic scarcity. While there may be a large labor supply in certain regions, skills mismatches, and logistical constraints limit the mobility and interchangeability of labor on both a global and local scale, not to mention the fact that labor rarely has the most optimal skills for an existing local economic market at any given time. The cost of labor accordingly naturally varies wildly in different regions.
Furthermore, the concept of a "race to the bottom" assumes that countries will engage in a race to lower labor standards and wages in order to attract investment and remain competitive. This ignores the potential for countries to compete based on factors other than labor costs, such as innovation, infrastructure, and regulatory environment, all of which will affect the cost of labor. Countries with higher labor standards and wages still remain competitive mostly through productivity gains and technological advancements as they exploit their competitive advantage, and this happens because the workers themselves demand standards and wages, not the communist state. A race to bottom can only happen in a restricted market where no other comparative advantages are allowed to be exploited.
I really do get your concerns about a "race to the bottom," but the assertion that laissez-faire free trade necessarily leads to this outcome ignores the fact that in a competitive world where workers are free to choose, employers also have to compete for scarce QUALIFIED labor. Also, the ability of workers to freely choose their employment opportunities empowers them to negotiate for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. As competition for scarce qualified labor increases, employers are then incentivized to offer competitive compensation packages and also invest in employee development and retention. This is the free market dynamic that creates a cycle of upward pressure on wages and labor standards, so it actually creates a "race to the top" rather than a "race to the bottom."
Only in a heavily regulated environment where the unskilled workers have few choices (minimum wage job or no job for example) will you see a true race to the bottom, as ADOL correctly attributed to communism where all workers had few to no choices.

It's also baffling that those businesses were already suffering with Bidenflation, being forced to charge 15 dollars for a combo meal.... I guess they realized people wouldn't shop there anymore if they were forced to charge 20 dollars for a combo meal. Mandated wages only work if there is also mandated consumption. Cue the subsidies and tax theft....

@ADreamOfLiberty
California thought 20 dollars as a fixed rate for labor was a good idea. You are right, the world is not a fair place, and forcing the creation of participation trophies by mandating wage prices for the least effort applied in a productive job only ensures nobody has an incentive to improve themselves. As that happens, you no longer have to wonder why the population naturally becomes fat, stupid, and unproductive.

It's more nuanced than that. Since Bidenmangood, we know he had no ill intent, and because Orangemanbad, we know Trump intends evil.

Mr. Biden was emphatic, declaring that his notebooks are "my property" and that "every president
before me has done the exact same thing," that is, kept handwritten classified
materials after leaving office. Ho also cited the diaries that President Reagan kept in
his private home after leaving office, noting that they included classified information.
Contemporaneous evidence suggests that when Mr. Biden left office in 2017,
he believed he was allowed to keep the notebooks in his home.
