Biden ain’t well.

The would make sense if we had a 15 an hour min wage, but since we dont and goods still rise (and not just now with the current inflation which is a world wide issue due to covid), then it is kind of a pointless post. Sorry, it isnt AOC's fault.

PTO has nothing to do what so ever with China. China is due to cheap labor and a the largest population in the world. If you dont like what China is doing, then why in the world would you advocate that our society looks more like them by treating our workers like shit? Do you want to us to bring all those jobs back from China by making American's work for Chinese type wages (about $1.66 an hour for average workers)? I am seriously asking that because I find bringing up China in a discussion about American workers being an odd point of view. If we are truly the greatest country in the world then we should be the leaders of the world with these issues, not have pushback because China treats their people like crap.
Do you think PTO is free for businesses?

No because they would have to employ more people. Which means more overhead and more benefits they have to pay out. It’s more lucrative to pay one person more money to work 50 hours a week and get 2 weeks off per year.
 
It's my opinion if Trump was in office , Putin wouldn't be in Ukraine. Putin moved onto Crimea and that other place under Obama / Biden. He didn't move anywhere under Trump and just months into Biden he invades Ukraine. I find your premise to be false.
😂🤣😂🤣😂

I appreciate the laugh. At least you are good for something.
 
It's my opinion if Trump was in office , Putin wouldn't be in Ukraine. ... I find your premise to be false.
I'm curious, what were the things that gave you those warm & fuzzy, "Putin wouldn't DARE invade Ukraine if Trump were still Prez" feelings?
  • Is it the strong bond he formed with the leaders of our allies in Europe?
  • Maybe it's the way Trump showed during his tenure that he can rally all of the leaders of NATO countries around him. Is that it?
  • Or is it the way he staunchly defended our Intel agencies against Putin's lies?
  • Perhaps it was the way he jumped in and blasted Putin for Russia's massive cyber-attack against the USA, right?
  • Or was it the way he 'manned up' and REFUSED to have a conference with Putin with members of his inner circle or cabinet? With him, it was always one-on-one, boy. I'm sure that was intended to scare him, huh?
 
We might take you a little more seriously if you weren't posting drunken responses:

"And that other place." Which one is that? Over them thar hills???

"Just months into Biden." He's been in office over a year.

I find your drinking to be a problem.
I don't drink,but that's ok. Putin started positioning troops and equipment last summer on his border with Ukraine. He waited until after the winter Olympics. So my premise isn't inaccurate. So , yah I don't recall 10 -12 years ago when that clown invaded several podunk eastern European outposts . either way, he did it under American leadership that was weak abroad and I don't think he makes his move under Trump. I can't prove it anymore than anyone can prove he would have.


Biden has been wrong pretty much all the time on every foreign policy perspective of his political career Secretary of Defense Robert Gates once said it aloud who served in the Obama Administration. The guy is a scrappy ,not dementia patient, from Scranton .
 
Imagine being so goddamn stupid that you brag about your cult leader only serving one term, allowing putin to build up a huge force on the border with an ally under his watch (only being stopped by the original covid outbreak in 2020) and then committing treason trying to overthrow a democratic election of the US.
 
I’m not super comfortable with Biden making decisions right now in these times. Especially his rhetoric and responses about the Ukraine/Russia conflict

Lesson to be learned. Stop electing presidents in their 70’s or well into their 70’s by the time of the end of their 1st or second term. We all saw this coming. Just compare the energy of a JFK or the president of Ukraine.

No world leader is like this. None
Agree. Age limit should be 64-65.

You know Schuck, I think Trump had his flaws and he does. However, since world war II Europe has ridden our coattails of security and they ,except for England,haven't paid their way in NATO . They are a bunch ungrateful free loaders . They didn't need to defend themselves so they spent the money on their socialist wet dreams.

Trump called them out and they stepped up. He warned German Hillary that her country being dependent upon Russia would come back and bite them in the ass. Guess what ?

Trump was unpredictable and I think Putin didn't want any part of it. Trump took out the Iranian leadership without pause . You may hate the guy but respect comes in many forms and Putin likely hates Trump but it's my observation he laid low for a while.
I could ask those exact same questions about Biden as you did of Trump.

I know you are kind of lost, but that's not what you said. Please go back and read. And sorry, when you come at us with "And that other place," you sound drunk or like you flunked geography when that thar teacher lady was trying to point out stuff on a map.
 
Old people shaming? Wrong...every great civilization has respected its elders. But choose who you vote for and age should be a consideration. I'm in my 70's, lift every day and guarantee I'm as sharp as you are with a hell of a lot more experience. In fact, maybe I should start shaming young aholes who think old people should be shamed.
I can agree with this. Shaming older people makes no sense and is just plain awful. Aging is just a part of the circle of life; eventually father time catches up to all us.
 
Oh, I will shame all them Fatty McFatties when their jiggly asses pull this shit:

I guess it comes down to a choice; I wouldn't feel comfortable shaming someone. But the link you posted is the exact enabling attitude that is not helping solve the problem of obesity.

Let me get this straight: Trump calling them out publicly somehow endeared him to them?
Trump was unpredictable and I think Putin didn't want any part of it.
Yeah, downplaying Russia's attrocities and believing the country's murderous dictator over his own intel agencies was certainly 'unpredictable' for the leader of the free world. I'm sure it had Putin 'on edge.' :rolleyes:
Putin likely hates Trump but it's my observation he laid low for a while.
No doubt Putin ABSOLUTELY HATED all of Trump's non-stop fawning over him, :rolleyes:
I could ask those exact same questions about Biden as you did of Trump.
Last I checked, NATO stepped up and has been presenting a united front against Putin's aggression in Ukraine, thanks to the United States leadership. If not, what did I miss?
 
If trump was POTUS he'd say he believes Putin saying they aren't invading Ukraine

🤣

You say lucrative but it’s just hanging on in a lot of businesses. We are a knowledge economy that has given up most of its production. That’s why there’s such a gap. Unfortunately, we cannot compete with the Chinas of the world because we burden the hourly wage with a shit ton of expenses and then do the same with the final product, including liability laws that allow you to sue manufacturers for almost any reason. This is why you drive through iron belt cities and see all the skeletons of the industrial engine that made America the strongest country in the world. And the same people that scream about workers rights and all of the soft virtues also scream bloody murder when you try to hold China accountable for their practices. We will never solve the problem you’re worried about without addressing the root causes.
 
And speaking of the knowledge economy, if you were a foreign entity that wanted to disrupt our leadership of the world’s knowledge and innovation sectors, where are the places that you’d strike to tear that down?
 
Do you think PTO is free for businesses?

I dont care if it is free for businesses. Workers should be able to have time to enjoy their lives and relax more than 2 weeks a year. Everything in life isnt about what is good for the corporate bottom line.
 
Imagine being so goddamn brainwashed you claim democrats today are "far left"

Biden would be viewed borderline right wing authoritarian in any first world European country. Yes he's old as shit and dementia ridden, still smarter than most of you on here and a million times better than his 2020 opponent

I don’t know if you’re ignorant or gaslighting. According to BLS statistics of just small businesses, 10 days of PTO is the average for 1st year employees and that does not include sick days and holidays. On average, Employees accrue 3-4 days more every 5 years of service to an employer.

Even with those days, Americans left an average of 6.5 unused PTO days in 2018 — that works out to 27.2% of PTO days that employers offered.

I voted for Biden but I really hope he doesn’t run again bc of incumbency stubbornness . it isn’t ageist to be worried , the stress of the Presidency ages people. Bill Clinton is around the same age and his Presidency ended 22 years ago. He will have the Infrastructure bill age well and he should ride off and just be a Grandpa.

it is going to be annoying if the two choices at the top of the ticket average around 80 years old. I am surprised it isn’t brought up more with Trump AND Biden

The age of the Presidents and their lack of accolades makes America look weak and frankly pathetic. We have a country of nearly 330 million people and these 2 and other retreads is the best that we can do?

The other recent candidates the democrats have run out there are also ancient. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie, Hillary. None of these are favorable options. Need some new blood. People who will actually be alive long enough to experience the wake of their presidency.

Old vs retreads or both. Do you think a member of the Dungeon would make a better president?

fixed it for you. Though to be honest his brain damage goes back 30+ years.

Biden pooping his pants then telling reporters someone had cleaned his butt.
 
The radical right's 'go-to' response when they have no answer.
U have not heard me beat up biden on Ukraine, His handler's have done a fair job there as far as I am concerned. The Oil mess which helps Putin his people did make worse. I really don't blame anything on Joe, good or bad. He doesn't run the show.
 
I'd like to think that in a country of 330 million people, we could find better choices than two diaper-shitting 80-year olds. And yes,. that includes Trump. They have no business running the greatest country on the planet.

Two things we don't do enough of in this country is fat shaming and old people shaming. These obese, face-stuffing beached whales and stupid old people who no longer recognize the difference between the gas and brake pedals are real problems.
Trump's an asshole but has not lost his marbles like Joe. Honestly I think he would have cut a deal with Putin over Ukraine before this all happened. But it would have felt like he was willing to seriously get us into a major entanglement with Russia. This ends up working out better for us because while ultimately this may cede a significant portion of Ukraine to Russia, we can fight Russia to the last Ukranian and seriously harm their military capabilities.

American manufacturing will come back. China's one child policy has doomed their future work force. Their labor costs have increased 12x while their productivity has only gone up 3x. Their cheap labor was the deal of the century but like all good deals it comes to an end.

I agree he hasn’t lost his marbles but he’s still a shitty 80-year old option. That’s all.

And who knows what Trump would have done or not done. The serious harm to their military is valid.
