Trump claims doubled gas prices are ‘way down’ as his transport chief tells Americans to take road trips

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

Isn't that rationale baked into the tabletop games at least (call of cthulu, etc), maybe the fiction itself as well? I know there are some rules where you make intelligence checks and if you fail (so you're too dumb to comprehend what your seeing), then you're not affected with sanity loss

Graduation inflation

I think you need more data to know if there is a problem, lowered SAT score average may be that more people are attempting the SAT that previously wouldn't, which in and of itself isn't an issue.

If I had to hazard a guess with only the data presented, both stats are likely being influenced by increased pressure to get a high school diploma & college degree, as higher percentages of job requirements list at least the former, but a lot of times list college degree when it may not be needed. So more people try to get into college by taking the SAT.

Not just a magat, he was truly a piece of shit in his life, he also snitched to prevent a union from forming for professional wrestlers. Cared about no one but himself his entire life.

More redistricting bad news for Republicans: Texas may not net five GOP seats like they planned

They might not this election, but these gerrymandering attempts are more long lasting then one election. US voters (speaking as one) seem to have a terminal case of long term memory loss. So the next election everyone that normally votes republican but is disgusted by trump will go back to voting on their normal party lines, the new districts will stay in place, net them the extra seats and we get further racheted to the right.
