So my wife is an accountant at the university and was on the selection committee to hire more people, because they're short as hell too. One of the resumes consisted of one line- "i have been a stay at home mom for 26 years and i would like to work at your university thank you."

Yes.

... are people currently not struggling? Because i was under the impression that we were struggling.

I gotta disagree. Clinton was certainly not anyone people were excited to vote for*, but neither was Biden. Yeah, Biden was probably more popular because a "not Trump" vote in 2020 meant a whole lot more than a "not trump" vote in 2016 before we actually understood the consequences of what was done, but still. The announcement of a sham "investigation" of Hillary's emails literally directly before the election was a gunshot to the head of her campaign. Sure, Trump voters will vote just as strongly for a presidential candidate under federal investigation, but for folks who try to be reasonable and open minded, something like that is really going to spook them. *amending my answer- lotta folks were in fact excited to have "the first woman president". Hell, you ever hear that country song- "lets put a woman in the white house"? Because i hear it over the work radio like multiple times per week.

I've said before, "the only good thing about fascism is that it eats itself", and since this current bout of fascism seems to have sprung up at an accelerated pace (likely due to the internet affecting speed of communication or something like that), it may be that it will implode on itself just as quickly. One can hope.

Now that's the kind of election security we need in the US.

The non-credible witnesses are: the woman who, as a minor, was illegally traficked to the Bahamas where Gaetz paid to rape her. Obviously she'd be a biased witness. The other is Gaetz's friend, who got caught illegally trafficking minors and committing other sex crimes. He plead guilty and agreed to cooperate with investigators after they dropped 27 counts and stated they would argue for jail time far below the minimum sentencing. He's not credible because he falsely accused a democratic political opponent of pedophilia.

Hey jingo, is this considered a "heartbeat"?

Well here's an interesting statistic- the rate of black people being pulled over by police goes up almost 6% directly after a Trump rally, and usually stays at that elevated rate for around 2 months. https://doi.org/10.1093/qje/qjac037

I like to keep people guessing. Gotta keep em on their toes.

Not offended, just flexing with angry language. The hard H pronunciation is more of a southwest thing, although i do this thing where i put a long H in front of W sometimes. Think it might be a German thing.
