2. So's Donald Trump... ![[giveup]](//storage2.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) 3. That's an unacceptably low bar for someone to pass who is going for the position of POTUS. 4. Please indicate exactly where and when they claimed that. 5. Musicians should never be put in charge of aircraft.
2. But unlike Clinton and Biden and many others........he hasn't spent the better part of his life living off the tax payers. That's a big plus.
3. Why? What does one need to be POTUS? 35 yrs old minimum and a citizen. THAT's it. We've let a wide assortment of people move into the job and most did not have experience running any other countries in their work history/resume.
4. It's that attitude on full display. All of their ideas are perfect and reasonable. Anyone that goes against them is stupid and/or evil. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) There's no middle ground?
5. Jefferson Airplane has done alright

2. He's lived off the money he was meant to pay to his employees for work they did for him. He's also lived off money he defrauded from the tax man, by lying about the worth of various assets. 3. And mentally competent and physically fit should also be requirements. I'm surprised at how many of your presidents failed to meet those two basic requirements. 4. I'm offering the middle ground by giving you the opportunity to provide specific examples of their favoritism. 5. That's because the pilot was a white rabbit. |

2. How do you figure that? a. All employers 'exploit' their workers if that's how you view the relationship.
And b. are you under the impression he dodged taxes by undervaluing properties? He did the opposite and claimed they were worth more in order to secure more loans.......and THAT falls on he responsibility of the lender, imo
3. THIS is America........we're on awfully short supply of those kinda people these days. If you were to include pure of heart and honest, there'd be nobody left to run.
4. Sorry, I do not watch them all........but I've seen at least a half dozen and it's always that same dubbed voice look thing where they believe their Green New Deal ideas are the absolute bestest despite all of the logistical and technical hurdles in the way.
5. They eventually evolved into a Starship

2a. No, he contracted people to complete specific tasks for him and then failed to meet his end of the bargain and refused to pay them. 2b. He made false and fraudulent claims concerning the value of his assets to the tax office and financial lenders. This means he committed fraud which is his responsibility. 3. Such a big country with such small potential...? 4. So is that a yes or a no on providing an example of this? 5. And travelled to the far side of the universe where they became a single drop of rain? |

If you've done enough work in the construction business.......you're bound to have a few arguments, and later settlements, with people over work performed.
Again, it is the responsibility of the lenders to make sure your claims are valid before they loan you money. I can claim my home is worth $1 Million.......you think they'll just take my word for it? Or will they send out some people to assess the property? The US Govt/NY DA is looking to go back in time and find/invent crimes now.
3. It's the nature of our political class/Establishment. They won't let anyone pass a certain point without selling out to them first.
4. That was me giving you my impression of almost all of the Honest Govt Ads.........they're funny, got some cuties, but mostly they're just pushing the latest trendy brand of politics. Like money and reality don't even matter.

1. And if you've ever had enough interactions with DT, you're bound to have been lied to or ripped off. 2. It is also the responsibility of a citizen to be law-abiding and follow the rules of society. 3. Which explains some of the more questionable appointees to the position of POTUS over the years. 4. I get the opposite impression form them. Money and reality do matter, which is why they're trying to warn us. 5. Didn't get the reference? |

1. Stormy Daniels and others were paid pretty well, IIRC
2. What Rules? You apply for a loan and list your assets vs your liabilities. Some people disagree over those numbers, which is where a 3rd party comes in with no bias involved. (IN theory)
3. Even when you get an agreed upon decent man, like Jimmy Carter.... it can end up in the crapper because he sucked as president.
4. Then they should get a whole lot better themselves at 1. making money and 2. inventing irresistible products that out do older offerings.
5. Nope, you lost me.  |

1. Enemy? Why was Ukraine an enemy? Oh yeah. They were an enemy because they didn't want to be invaded. ![[rolleye1]](//storage2.proboards.com/7182076/images/MTjbungPBOzv0BKQvdPJ.gif)
2. ![[duh]](//storage2.proboards.com/7182076/images/fkEyrzKNbVccHgmfecGz.jpg)
3. Russia is FUCKED
Ukraine is divided into two areas/groups.......sorta like the US these days
The US is pretty much F'd, too
1. Yup: The pro-democracy side and the pro-Putin side that invites him to help in their attempted coups
2. Yup. See #1

Is it uncomfortable to be so far up Putin's ass that you have to share space with 70,000,000 other anti-American Trumpanzees? |

4. Are those Honest Govt Ads any kind of indicator? They seem like the zaniest of lefties here that demand it's their way, or no way. 4. Please indicate exactly where and when they claimed that.
Apparently I'm not the only one that sees them as biased as SNL has been for decades.
The Juice Media (TJM) is an Australian company that produces contemporary, left-wing political and social satire. They are known for their Internet series Honest Government Ads and Juice Rap News.
================================================
Now I happen to believe in things like solar, wind, etc etc .........but forced participation? and just as bad large scale Govt 'investment' in said policies? It's bound to make things worse and cost far too much.

I expect it's left-wing political and social satire, because the right wing has no sense of humour.  However, I fully expect and hope that they treat the left the same as the right once the opportunity allows them. |

There does seem to be a stereotypical truth to the 'entertainers and comedians' leaning more to the left in the US. There, too?
Do you believe that I am bereft of a sense of humour, for instance?
That was a wild realization for me a yew years ago....... I've watched and enjoyed comedians since I first heard Flip Wilson, George Carlin and Bill Cosby albums as a small kid........and then moved onto comedy shows like Benny Hill, Monty Python and SNL for many years. Stand Up comedy was and is a joy to this day.
But then as my own political views formed and I looked back at all those years of SNL dating back to the original cast...... it suddenly became very clear they did NOT treat the left the same. And it's actually gotten far worse in recent years, imo.

1. Probably, but not entirely. Personally, I like my comedians to be like my LEOs... to operate without fear or favour. Funny is funny and no one is above ridicule. 2. Not necessarily. Not all humour is politically based. 3. I hope you didn't fall asleep while listening to Bill Cosby.  4. I think it's just the sort of people that are mostly attracted to the field of entertainment. In the same way, you wouldn't expect stock brokers to be spending their weekends planting trees or helping out in a soup kitchen. |

Absolutely true.
THAT is a great way to put it. Certain types of people migrate to certain types of activities and groups. We all have our own interests.
