    Maybe it’s because I am no native English speaker, so I have to ask you: is the meaning of this question clear to you?

    “Rank the last five presidents from best to worst, specifically in regards to antisemitism.”

    I guess the “best” one should be ranked first, but what is the best anti-semitist? The strongest or the weakest of them?

      It’s vague still as a native speaker, I imagine most people’s first instinct would be that “best” would be least antisemitic and “worst” would be most. The meaning in wording like this comes from whether or not what you are ranking people on is good or bad. To most people, antisemitism is bad. (or at least I’d hope) So “best” would mean “least”.

      A better way of phrasing the question would just be to ask to rank them most to least antisemitic. That would be much less vague.

      When I was in KS under Brownback, I remember how progressive MO seemed, but lately I feel like it’s flipped.

      Don’t get me wrong, KS still has some assholes but MO really seems to be swinging for the fences.

      I was reading Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America by Sarah Kendzior, and she spends almost half of the first chapter dissing on Missouri, where she lives. Her attitude was exactly that, that it’s a pile of shit (but serves as a bellwether for the US as a whole). Lol!

    …It’s a constitutional violation so blatant it makes you wonder if Bailey got his law degree from a cereal box.

    Absolutely savage. I love it.

    “trump is the highest scoring individual in a number of areas. As an example, trump is the national all-time leader in being impeached as President.”

      • the most felony convictions
      • the most state and federal criminal investigations that are still open
      • the most amount of diapers worn during a presidential term
      • the first president in what 20 years to puss out and have his inauguration indoors
      • the first president to have been a confirmed rapist

      I’m going to speculate:

      • the smallest penis
      • the most obese
      • the shortest

    This motherfucker doesn’t care about us in MO at all. Numerous other problems here, but he’d rather kiss the ring and hope Trump nominates him for some position so he can wreck a lot more.
