    Funnily enough I just saw one in use near London. My son said ‘what was that stupid looking thing?’

    @George-K said in Get around. Get around. I get around.: @taiwan_girl of course they do! I just found it kind of funny that she even uses the same gestures at the same time during her speech. Will have to ask the Teleprompter if that’s in the script. LOL. I wouldn't be surprised either way. After doing the same speech 100 times, it becomes muscle memory. LOL If I am talking on the same topic for different people, I find myself falling into the trap of saying the same thing (though trying to keep it fresh).

    @Jolly said in Black Jobs: but the subcontractors likely hire a lot of illegal labor. But they work cheap. Yup. I have said before that I am in big favor of LEGAL immigration, but any crackdown on illegal immigration will have (unintended) consequences. Vegetable and fruit prices will increase. Construction costs will increase. Restaurant prices will increase. Etc. But, still better to work on decreasing illegal immigration and increasing legal immigration.

    @Axtremus said in Look at what these MAGATs want!: You ought to also look at the "firearms" and "immigration" sections. Immigration. Our nation of immigrants has been invigorated repeatedly as new people, ideas and ways of life have become part of the American tapestry. Democrats support immigration policies that promote fairness, non-discrimination and family reunification, and that reflect our constitutional freedoms of speech, association and travel. I'm good with that. THere's nothing controversial about it. As a matter of fact, I assume most GOP members are good with that. Trump has said it. Firearms. It is time to shut down the weapons bazaars in our cities. We support a reasonable waiting period to permit background checks for purchases of handguns, as well as assault weapons controls to ban the possession, sale, importation and manufacture of the most deadly assault weapons. We do not support efforts to restrict weapons used for legitimate hunting and sporting purposes. We will work for swift and certain punishment of all people who violate the country's gun laws and for stronger sentences for criminals who use guns. We will also seek to shut down the black market for guns and impose severe penalties on people who sell guns to children. Yeah, I'm good with that too. Harris has proposed a buy-back program (which she has since walked back). Define assault weapon.

    Excellent. When Lucas started getting his sense of smell back it was fairly rapid progress. Hopefully it will be the same for her!

    @Copper said in Bush Burned?: @taiwan_girl said in Bush Burned?: Good. Extreme sides of either party need to get voted out. Then we will achieve global equity! Everyone will be exactly the same as everyone. And no possessions too. No, not at all. But "extremism" rarely rarely works, no matter which side it is from.

    @Jolly said in BTW, Biden has more private sector experience than Harris.: Gimme some of those bankruptcies... Unless you are one of the companies or vendors that ended up not getting paid (or got a small % of what they were owed.). LOL

    Maybe Bragg should go talk to the Just-us Department. Bragg can cobble up charges out of thin air, making and splicing as he goes. In Hunter's case, apparent evidence is abundant, and the Just-us Department can't even find their ass with both hands
