Joe Ferguson forever

Yes and you likely did too. Johns Hopkins.

Really depressing that so many Americans are so stupid

That’s what happened but by all means, give your version.

Trump on Arnie’s schlong. Weird https://apnews.com/article/trump-arnold-palmer-closing-arguments-latrobe-pennsylvania-2bea9620c523e531a55259200215284e

Which side proposes a living minimum wage? Progressive tax policies that demand the wealthy pay more?

Sorry for you. I'm not the one who is resentful of our current prevailing culture.

Oh my! tell trump and most of the evangelicals that....

true. we need to compete more effectively at all levels. We have become complacent and entitled.

Want to see prices increase? Follow your plan. Fast food prices are an easy example. Remarkably, people complaining about inflation are more concerned with prices than wages And no, we don't have all the resources we need right here. Otherwise geopolitics wouldn't be a thing. As it is, it's a huge thing and the reason behind many global conflicts. Mine is not a plan. It's simple reality.

It started when unskilled wages went down due to global competition. That was an inevitable and slow process. Protectionism doesn't work. We need to compete on the world stage. Sometime around the dawning of the last generation, the expectation that future generations would do better than previous generations became unrealistic especially for the unskilled. They got angry. A demagogue told them he could fix it and to hate global competition and here we are.

Love your neighbor as yourself (including immigrants/foreigners) In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” (Luke 10:29-37) So, yes, hopefully most devout church goers vote this election. We should all try our best to imitate...

Seen on a bumper in Williamsburg tonight: Trump is a traitor. Nice town. I could live here.

I’ll just leave this here. Great piece by a fellow Catholic appalled by Cardinal Dolan https://dnyuz.com/2024/10/19/trumps-charity-toward-none/ As Anne Applebaum points out in The Atlantic, Trump uses the language of Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini to rouse hate and violence. This, while sacrilegiously calling Jan. 6 a “day of love.” He compares the jailed rioting thugs to the Japanese interned in World War II. It’s not a big leap to saying migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” and calling his political opponents “vermin,” given his belief — inherited from his father with the “big heart” — in superior genes and blood lines. This past week, he called Democrats “evil,” “dangerous” and the “enemy from within,” limning them as a bigger threat than Russia and China, a threat that he said might require him to sic the military on his opponents. He denounced the national treasure Nancy Pelosi — who is a devout Catholic — and her husband — who was attacked with a hammer by a far-right conspiracy theorist — as “sick” and “evil.”

exhausted...and Bongino is a class act https://www.yahoo.com/news/exhausted-trump-t-interview-home-163150412.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall More RECEIPTS for you *****sticks. Here’s the email from the Trump team confirming the schedule. Notice, he was scheduled until 11a. He stayed until after 11 because HE WAS COMING FROM ANOTHER INTERVIEW at Fox and was a few mins behind. He then stayed an extra ten minutes to… Show more Then, shortly after this article was published, Bongino sent the Daily Beast what he described as “receipts” showing Trump did not end the interview early (along with the charming note, “Does your mother tell her friends she has no living children out of embarrassment for having spawned such an embarrassing piece of s--t?”) But in the screenshot of an email in which Trump’s team confirmed the interview, it clearly shows it was meant to be an hour long. Instead of staying for the full time he agreed to be live with Bongino and pushing back his next event, Trump ended the sit-down after a little more than 30 minutes.

FIFY, again. Doesn't appear any serious watch collectors are interested. Watches are status symbols. This watch would lower your status in most settings. btw, wearing a gold Hamilton self winding to a baptism later today. not super valuable except to me. was my fathers. some things aren't about dollars.

Experts quoted in this "Intelligencer" article agree with you “The watch is claimed to use a ‘TX07 Tourbillon’ with 105 hours of power reserve, but finding any record of such a movement online is tricky. Watch commentator Nico Leonard van der Horst said in an Instagram post: ‘This is hilarious … the manufacturer of this movement is Olivier Mory, who ironically is known for making very affordable Tourbillons half made in China, half made in Switzerland.’ Van der Horst added: ‘If you were to buy this movement and put it in your own watch, you would be able to buy it for under $3.5k.’” https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/are-trumps-swiss-made-watches-from-wyoming.html How many times do MAGAs need to be reminded that the guy is crooked as a barrel of fish hooks?

the $100k watch is reportedly made in China. The mechanism in a similar case should go for less than $5K. He's a prince...

Nope. It's illegal. It's dishonest. And we know that doesn't concern you at all....

Disagree emphatically. What if your biz competitor grossly overstated assets and abilities? Nope, McCain and Romney were solid free market, liberty loving, patriots. Palin was/is just stupid.

yes, he enlisted a Buffalo Mob to slander. FIFY So if one of your competitors in biz slandered you, it would be OK?

No. https://www.vice.com/en/article/trumps-war-on-jon-bon-jovi-could-smash-his-empire/ https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-shady-scheme-to-buy-nfl-buffalo-bills Trump tapped longtime political ally Michael Caputo to help fan rumors that the rocker and his Canadian financial backers were planning to move the team to Toronto, as part of a plan to turn local sentiment against the rock star. The plan worked—to a degree. Local Bills fans turned against the singer of “Livin’ on a Prayer” and declared local bars “Bon Jovi–Free Zones.” In the end, Trump didn’t get the Bills, and neither did Bon Jovi. The winning $1.4 billion bid was filed by Terry Pegula, owner of the Buffalo Sabres hockey team. Bon Jovi later insisted he never planned to take the Bills out of Buffalo. He called the battle “scarring.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-nfl-owner-buffalo-bills-1235105227/ For more than 30 years, he was desperate to own a team. After his bid to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014 was rejected, he vowed payback on an epic scale

Maybe because he's the greatest threat to the American way as I imagine it. Probably not the way you do. Perspective...Oh, and he tried to cheat his way into owning the Bills. Someone here posted the sordid story. So it's relevant.
