The media is trying to say that Trump is ahead of Biden in the polls. All of them. Why is this?
It's horse shit and simple math.
Dems haven't left the party, Republicans have and they've died in large numbers due to covid. Independents are leaning left because they see Trumps damage and threat.
Don't fall for the corporate bull shit..

65 (2023)- This story, they lay it out in print at the beginning, “65 million years ago a transport expedition full of human looking people runs into calamity and they end up crash landing on an uncharted planet labeled as Earth”. Adventures ensue…you might also remember that 65m years ago in Earth history, a significant event takes place.
Bottom line, I found this story to be border line boring and forgettable. Theres nothing that stands out worth remembering.

What did he do? Oh boy!
