Part of me is actually glad that the Democrats have control. They will lurch too far to the left in pursuit of their socialist Utopia and take us straight over a cliff. America needs to suffer under their crazy ideology. Once the people have had enough, they'll be begging for Trump 2.0. it's a luxury to be arguing over which pronouns to use when there are actual real problems in the world going unaddressed. Time for everyone to get a bucket of cold water poured over their head.
the good news is a vast majority of his chronies have also been in the public sector for decades, and share his incapacity for individual thought.
All at the benefit of corporations, CEO's, and shareholders. You left out that part.
Let me give you an example, from Singapore. They employ senior citizens, at a very low pay, to mop floors and such, to not only keep those people physically active, but also to have them be a part of the society.
Good team player you are rooting for the United States. By the way, the hellish American you are predicting...Look around! I'd rather deal with pronouns than 400,000 dead in a single year or an insurrection of the Capitol.
In fairness, it's a pretty well-known quote. I doubt many people don't recognize it. But then again, the movie is about 25 years old. So with that said...
A nice gesture on your part. I guess we should just ignore:
I am not going to speak to Biden's mental state. I don't know the guy, nor do I have any personal connection to his administration. People seem to think that just because you vote for someone you can't criticize them. If he does a bad job, and he may, then he'll get the criticism he deserves. I hope for America that he doesn't lose his mind on the job. He wouldn't be the first.
You really are living in a silo. Biden may turn out to be a bad president. The pendulum may swing back to the right. But Trump will go down as the worst president in American history. He is one of the few presidents to get voted out of office. He lost the House and Senate on his watch. He is reviled across the country and world. His most avid supporters are lunatics who stormed the capitol intent on killing the VP. Seriously, dude, you are delusional if you think the country wasn't already in a free fall under Trump.
How did that end up being a multiple choice question? You act like anyone else could have handled the Chinese pandemic better than Donald Trump and gotten a better result.
OMG. You have got to be phucking kidding me. You really are delusional, or poorly informed. Thankfully this brand of willful ignorance left the building this morning. Can I get a hell yeah??!!
Is $9/hr taking an order from Burger King not a decent wage? Is $11/stocking shelves not a decent wage? $12/hr being a cashier at Target not a decent wage?
So the how the hell did he get 81 million votes and Obama had 69 million and creepy Joe never campaigned at all except in his basement...
This type of attitude is pathetic.
Why is this such a mystery? We are a country of roughly 330 million. Roughly 159.6. million voted in 2020. And still we came no where near total participation of eligible voters. Trump was hugely unpopular. Tens of millions of Americans, including Republicans, were desperate for an end to his presidency, desperate for some semblance of normalcy. Voter turnout on both sides of the aisle was huge. What is so hard to understand?
Nah, you're the delusional one. Trump deserves a share of the blame for losing the election by getting into petty fights and making enemies over stupid disagreements. See John McCain as exhibit one. The reason middle America responded to a populist like Trump just shows how much disgust and contempt we have for the mainstream media and the coastal elites. The hate for the Clinton machine is deep and abiding. The level of corruption within all government institutions has brought our trust in them to an all-time low. Trump gave people a measure of hope. We all know it's the role of government to protect the borders. We all instinctively know that China is out to screw us every which way but loose. We know big tech has taken it upon themselves to be the Free speech police and are an enemy of the Constitution. We don't care what the socialists in Europe think. History will be kind to Trump. You are very much afraid of him which is why you are proceeding with the absurd impeachment movement. Buckle up buttercup. You're about to have more trumpism not less.
Salesman: I need to get paid more.
I realize that you're just a dumb college kid. Never been married, had kids, made a payroll, had a mortgage, so I take your absurd opinions with a grain of salt. Get some life experience and we'll talk in 10 years.
How many of your 330 million are illegal immigrants?
The trade deal was completely redone with Mexico and Canada and will be in place for years! Unless politicians get a kickback/another bribe at the top level! The trade deal will pay for the wall many times over, again unless the politicians don't totally screw up this up! Plus the fact the USA was pulling tariffs in from China, like an open ATM! China wanted Trump out, because he's the only person who has stood up to their BS! Questioned their motivations, pulled the world together to deal with China's strategy and foiled their run on domination of every country, stealing technology and putting the world's exports in the toilet. Now, that pervert Biden is at the helm, humming Xi is his only priority!
Mmk. Trump ended up being the thing he absolutely reviles. A resounding loser in a fair and free democratic election. Sorry fella.
With Biden's tax plan that's a fallacy! The government is going to take a good chunk of that money! Its a situation that politicians don't think those people know how to spend their own money, however, how much truth there maybe to this! Plus technology is going to start replacing those $15 wage earners, more and more each year, one can see this coming already! Then add in the additional cost of benefits plus the decrease in offered benefits, which requires the wage earner to use any increase to make up for that. And the fact that more and more US citizens are going to be in a world of hurt, competing with all these illegals vying for those same jobs! Only downside my bum!
With respect to mail-in voting, I have group of five family members who share your sentiments: that it is all a fraud and shouldn't be allowed. All but one of them voted by mail. They cited convenience of researching candidates and issues as they read through the ballot, convenience in avoiding crowds, and convenience in reducing transit time. (I can't recall if the other one did early in-person voting or in person on election day).
I would tell those people. finish your schooling or job training, dont have a baby until you are married and dont go to jail. You do those 3 things your chances of being at the bottom rung of society are slim to none.
There is absolutely nothing stopping you from giving your employees as big a raise as you want. Just do it now but don't tell every school, every county, every city that everyone is entitled to a certain wage no matter what their education, skill or level of expertise. Let the market decide that.
So you're saying the governing mechanism is more important than the existence of a free market? That I agree with. Markets are good for determining prices, but they don't decide anything. Most developing countries have more of a free market system than we do.
A lot of people voted 4 and 5 weeks too early. Too many events occurred in that time frame which would have changed votes. But at least I'm comforted that they found the whole process convenient and easy. That's what really counts.
Your whole rhetoric from the beginning is flawed! Democrats were caught in the 2016 election of stuffing ballots, only now they had a way around any accountability: mailed in ballots and a pandemic! Our election system is obsolete and as we've learned is totally out of control! It wasn't the GOP states Trump had to worry about, genius! Past elections should tell you that! Could have been a million court cases, no freaking judge was going to touch this, no-one, again no-one is going be the first in history to try to change a POTUS election, not going to happen! No, you should be totally disappointed in the politicians, allowing this to happen! They took the election out of the hands of WE THE PEOPLE! People caved into these politicians on both sides and this is what we end up with, who they wanted! Who they can manipulate and push out of the way, the writing is on the wall!
Remember this quote?
I hope that the next administration is held accountable for their performance. I’m skeptical that they will, at least to the extent that Trump’s was.
The convenient and easy part is what I mock as well: these family members complain about a system in which they prefer to partake in as opposed to undertaking the more difficult task of voting in person.
