Angrydad:

I think several of our brethren on the Conservative side of the aisle are waiting for FauxNews, Newsmax, and Donald Trump Jr. to email them the talking points!

re: #3 post

I am ashamed to admit, I pray a few times a week for his massive stroke or MI. There is an old Russian proverb "God sees the truth, but waits."

A whole lotta waitin' goin' on.

but higher food prices!

In the article, the lead photo shows Trump in Oompa-Loompa Orange face. That photo was taken one week ago.

smh

He is very likely to be elected. Then we will get 2016-2021 squared: more insanity, incompetent toady cabinet, no checks on abuse of power, lots of golf, and LOTS of grifting billed to the taxpayer. The likelihood of a disaster unaddressed (remember Covid?) will be much higher.

I am so sad for Americans who say "but prices were lower!" forgetting that prices started to increase rapidly during the second half of 2020. These same people don't see prices coming down (slowly but...) this year.

At what point do you admit that an organized, documented effort (including a lot of video evidence) to incite an overthrow of the government is treason?

Visitor:

I just read through carefully every post you put on this thread; all lies and/or distortions.

Why?

Are you that morally bankrupt, that in order to boost the worst man to ever run for President, that you will outrageously lie at every opportunity?
Can you not see you have become just like Trump?

Could anyone please post part of the article behind the paywall? You know, for educational purposes?

Do away with DEI and quotas. Hire the most qualified.

Hi Gracie:
As a person involved in hiring and admin, may I comment on this?
DEI does NOT mean hire someone because they are black/woman/Latina/whatever.
DEI does NOT mean preference to ANY group based on ethnicity, class, gender, sexual preference.
What it DOES mean is making good-faith efforts to advertise to everyone, especially in smaller publications/venues and making an effort to encourage all people to apply, not just the largest demographics.
What it DOES mean is to enact policies at work that include under-represented groups or marginalized groups.

Are there examples of ridiculous extremes in DEI practice? Absolutely.
And note I recognize they are ridiculous, an outlier. Not the norm.
But DEI in and of itself is a concept of inclusion, not a mandate. My HR (company of over 500 employees) has never even hinted at mandates such as "you should consider [demograph X candidate first]" for hiring in any direction. I hope that is true for everyone, everywhere.

have a good day.

But! Fox and Trump tell us daily that America is about to collapse ANY! MINUTE! NOW!

Which oh which could possibly be true?

And in Texas fairly recently, people paid good money to get close enough for a good view of Cowboys stadium collapsing in Irving.
I mean: just wait until December, then you can see the annual Cowboys Collapse for free.

Where are the usual suspects to deflect and throw ketchup NOW?

BUT! So few are paying attention. THAT is what is truly frightening.
America will be a second-rate country within a month after the beginning of Trump II.

I hate msnbc but this article is 100% accurate, 100% truthful in both Trump's comments, their context, and the analysis!

The rest of the civilized world is either laughing at us or shaking their heads.

I used both Sears' Prodigy and AOL. Wow, that was primitive even in those days.

I weep for the stupidity of our nation.
That we would even CONSIDER a completely incompetent, amoral, psychopathic grifter like Donald Trump speaks volumes to the state of our nation.
