That’s not fair. Trump also worked very, very hard…on his golf game.

He would have let people be put out on the street, starve and pay for the vaccine during the pandemic. He’s done us a great courtesy of letting us know exactly who he is and what he will do. He will turn the carbon tax from rebates to revenue for his oil and gas donors to start.

Calling someone sir seems somehow less weird than calling someone Mayor, Governor, President, Secretary or whatever years..even decades after they’ve left office.

So our pandemic project was to build M a She Shed. She came in a few minutes ago and informed me what we apparently actually did was build a $12,000 dog house. Lily has taken up residence.

If you live in a different district you can donate your personal donation only there and again just a grand and only once per cycle.

I would also restrict donations thusly.If your corporate hq is in Jim Jordan’s district and you vote GOP you can give him the full grand or give it to the GOP presidential candidate or split it between the two or break it up between other local candidates. But just that grand and just once per cycle

Of massive government subsidies is prohibited. Trade unions are also restricted to 1k. Any ceo or union boss who asks or otherwise indicates how his employees/members should vote will face a minimum 10 years in federal lock up. Get them out of the game.

Just gonna throw this out there. Legislation making political donations to a maximum of $1000 personal or corporate. Corporate donations can only be made from corp HQ. So the Koch brother can donate a max of 2k 1 personal 1k corporate. Elon could donate from Tesla and X but Soace X as a recipient 1

Take that up with the next Congress but make sure Trump loses first. Once he’s safely in the rear view mirror demand Congress institute a mandatory retirement age ( say 65) for all 3 branches of government. By this time next year Biden could be naming 4 new SCOTUS justices including a new Chief.

Store security are a different breed. Many years ago I worked as a cook at a department stores I’d come to work and they’d follow me through the store, up the escalator to the restaurant. They knew me, I MADE THEIR MEALS but I was a guy with long hair so not to be trusted..except with their dinner.

No matter who asked them those questions were wildly inappropriate and completely irrelevant. What he did was statutory rape. It doesn’t matter if they knew what they were doing was wrong and has no bearing on the crimes committed. He violently assaulted those girls and they let him off.

I read about it, it’s horrendous and he was only let off because one of his victims was too scared (understandably )to testify. The article I read said it was members of the grand jury who posed the questions. The US legal system is a hot mess but I don’t think defence lawyers speak at GJ hearings

It’s important also to understand that project 2025 policy is not going to be rolled out over the 4 years of a second term but all of it, all 900 shitty pages, is going to be rolled out in the first 180 days. Too fast for litigation or legislation to stop it.

My American friends. In July of 1988 Michael Dukakis held a 17 point lead in the polls over George Bush Sr. He lost that election by 8 points, a 25 point margin of error. Donald Trump is going to lose and lose big. Just make sure you get in on the fun of taking him down. Vote!

There was a story that came out, at least up here, that Trump’s people are low key shitting themselves at the prospect of Biden dropping out. They know Trump has no chance against a younger opponent. He becomes the old guy and all the old guy shit lands in his lap.

That is a massive gamble. I understand your point but rather than worry about Biden’s short comings focus on Trump’s criminality and his people. Biden isn’t the issue, never was. Trump is the issue full stop. If the Dems were running Jimmy Carter from his palliative care bed, vote for him.

So don’t give them the opportunity. Work your butt off and ensure he’s beaten by such numbers no amount of fuckery will help him. Then make sure the democrats actually investigate and impeach justices NEXT year not in 2028. Stay on them.
