  • Biden won’t either, because he’s already proved he can win this race and you don’t retire a winning horse.

    this isn’t 2020. it’s 2024, and a different race. Trump has had 4 years to retcon (or rather double down?) on his reputation. (whatever, he’s had four years to shore up his support.). Further, in 2020… the war in ukraine hadn’t started yet, neither had the Israeli genocide in gaza; the Pandemic was still on-going (and trump was fucking up left right and center on that.)

    the point being, the circumstances are different and Biden has a lot of baggage he’s carrying- especially lately with Gaza. As they say in stocks: Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.

    It’s going to be a battle, and I’m not sure Biden can win.

    That said, Trump belongs in jail. (or the grave. I make exceptions for certain things. like being a rapist pedophile traitor.)

    In a sane world, that should be enough for a cardboard cut out of Yogi Bear to win. I used to think that Princess Amidala being 14 and the planetary head of state was hilariously unrealistic, yet here we are hoping to elect an asshole that supports genocide because the other guy is a cartoon villain that would happily genocide his own citizens because they didn’t let him do his pedophile-rape thing. It’s the kind of plot Palpatine would appreciate.

    I’ve found This KAF recipe to always work.

    You can leave the caramel and nuts off, and I prefer to add ~1-2 extra tablespoons of cinnamon to the filling. And some extra butter+sugar to make it extra cinnamony when I do.

    (For the record… I’m not paid or anything, but KAF is a flour maker, and they have a lot of wonderful recipes. And if something fails or you have a question… they’ve a hotline with their test bakers…for free.)

    Edit: I usually top with an American buttercream- vanilla with just a drop of almond extract.(softened butter, 1 stick, add powdered sugar and milk until it’s light and fluffy whipped at high speed. More sugar makes it more airy, more milk and butter denser)(it’s a very flexible frosting. Chocolate, coffee. You name it. Also if you need a crisp white or brilliant colors; use crisco- but it tastes gross in comparison….)
