I think they might try to weasel a crack between running in a primary - essentially a "state" election and running in the GE.

 

 

 

anything is done that benefits ordinary people is instantly labelled as communism 

 

Interestingly those very supporters make up a majority of Medicaid and Social Security receipts.

Yeah it's the illusion of choice. You don't choose the runners and riders, they're chosen by the money men, that's why there are so many dynasties which, you'd think, would be the opposite of what their forfathers wanted.

 

Add or change Israel with 'money men' and you'd be spot on. The last couple of months have all but confirmed it.  Very similar here with the Labour Party, but that's for a different thread.

If they really elect Trump, there will be nothing funny about it.

Do not think we will all be able to just eat popcorn and watch unaffected.

Ignorant, racist, fascist self serving, petty, amoral dumb cunt who holds grudges against those he feels have done him wrong, showing no empathy whatsoever.  What could go wrong?

 average yearly holiday entitlement is 10 days

 

I googled that and yeah you're right. Unbelievable. The American Dream.

 

Forbes:

The average American worker gets 11 days of paid vacation per year. In the private sector, the average number of paid vacation days after five years of service increases to 15 days. After 10 years of service, it rises again to 17 days.

Because;

- he didn't swear to uphold the constitution ( though he did)

 

People think.the US descent into 1930s Germany is funny. It really isn't.

If you work in the service industry you get zero holiday allocation, no medical a lot of the time which means no sick pay also, zero contract protection, tow weeks maternity leave if required and a whole lot of other bullshit at the sharp end of capitalisms poster child.

 

The 'holidays' you do get are national holiday, whic is about six or so and includes Christmas and New Years Day

 

They don't actually have any laws around holiday entitlements which is absurd.

 

A friend of mine worked out there in her twenties and talked me through it one night, the reason she returned was because she broke her wrist and run up near $30k medical debt.

And what a lying piece of shit Joe McCarthy was. Hounded thousands out of jobs,blackballed many entertainers Inc the great Paul Robeson 

 

 

When

He later falsely claimed participation in 32 aerial missions in order to qualify for a Distinguished Flying Cross and multiple awards of the Air Medal, which the Marine Corps chain of command decided to approve in 1952 because of his political influence.  McCarthy also publicized a letter of commendation which he claimed had been signed by his commanding officer and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, then Chief of Naval Operations.However, his commander revealed that McCarthy had written this letter himself, probably while preparing award citations and commendation letters as an additional duty, and that he had signed his commander's name, after which Nimitz signed it during the process of just signing numerous other such letters. A "war wound"—a badly broken leg—that McCarthy made the subject of varying stories involving airplane crashes or anti-aircraft fire had in fact happened aboard ship during a raucous celebration for sailors crossing the equator for the first time. Because of McCarthy's various lies about his military heroism, his "Tail-Gunner Joe" nickname was sarcastically used as a term of mockery by his critics.

Trumps going to be merciless with Biden in a long head to head campaign. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its down to the Dems to be merciless back.

 

Showing Trump sat in front of Putin in Helsinki, like a little bitch, when asked if Russia interfered in his election. And changing the answer when he was home. You will never see anything more pathetic.

 

The Dems should have that on constant rotation as the behaviour of their Commander In Chief.

I'm more talking about the one on ones and the meet and greets, interviews etc  I don't think Biden will be up to it. Imo he should be retired and sitting out on his front step.

Its almost like they never learned their lesson with putting Hillary up against him. They seem to have the same idea, Its Trump, he's a cunt nobody will vote for him. Also shows they are more scared of change and younger members of the party who want change in all areas than they are of another few years of Trump. But then the gravy train needs kept on the same tracks its been on since 1945

I'd like to see a Presidential contest between Trump and Teddy Roosevelt personally. Teddy would have got so sick of his shit he would have offered him a duel or just knocked him out

They apparently tazered Paw Paws balls in the Capital building which gave him a heart attack, no serious. Only in America.

 

 

Its a shame they didn't drop a nuke and flatten the lot including the politicians. Missed opportunity imo. 

 

Someone in the replies told him his Christmas tree looks shit and he replied its an insensitive comment at a time like this, Maw Maw is still in mourning for Paw Paw.

 

Dear God

From the Fart of the Deal guy --

 

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday suggested the Civil War could have been avoided through “negotiation,” arguing that the fight to end slavery in the US was ultimately unnecessary and that Abraham Lincoln should have done more to avoid bloodshed.

“So many mistakes were made. See, there was something I think could have been negotiated, to be honest with you,” Trump said at a campaign event in Newton, Iowa. “I think you could have negotiated that. All the people died. So many people died.”
