Still a very green banana.

86 years old if he get reelected and makes the full four year and Trump would have 82 years on him by the end of his term if he won the election

gerontocracy

stay in Tulsa and without knowing where to look hard to find the area not really marked or anything

after election night we will still be in the retirement home waiting to die

Democrats and Republicans should have added new blood into the mix

this debate was embarrassing to both candidates and for the citizens of this country

definitely stand corrected

and that is what your parents were told by their parents who were told by their parents

same things your kids will tell your grandchildren who will then go on to tell your great grandchildren

"Kept voting the same party in and the outcome was always the same because of that damn other party! and that same other party is making sure my party can't do anything!"

doing something over and over without changing any variables but expecting a different result than the one you keep getting is insanity not voting

both candidates are the age of my grandfather who lives with me because he needs care

no way either candidate has escaped the ravages of time

Biden and Trump both are selfishly keeping a younger generation from stepping in

someone gets it

thanks al

Sanders is proof the US is working on a rigged system

he has had the people's interest at heart since he first started his political career in the 60s and not just the US citizens

even actual local papers are now suspect because your local news is owned by a national news megacorporation that sponsors our elections

so between fake news and local national news propaganda there is no news

our minimum wage is $7.25, no universal health care, the cops are militarized and keeping citizens in their proper places, food/ housing costs are more than our pay, transportation costs have skyrocketed, the postal service needs attention, we have fifty states not working together

but we showed that China TikTok what for BY GOD! they ain't gonna spy on us

make a fourth of what made five years ago but same job

think part of why people work less now is because of no incentive

pay is way down, moral is low, and bills are higher than the income

recreational drugs are being outpriced for the first time in my lifetime by food costs

where are the riots for better wages, housing, better public services, for actual politicians that are public servants out to do right for the citizens they themselves depend on, for worker's rights, or for anything?

what happened to the US?

if only democrats actually stood for what they say they stand for

we could of had eight years of bernie instead of eight years of further decline with trump and biden

think we replaying the 1920s right now all over the world progress is going backwards at a phenomenal rate

The White House is finalizing plans for a U.S.-Mexico border clampdown that would shut off asylum requests and automatically deny entrance to migrants once the number of people encountered by American border officials exceeded a new daily threshold, with President Joe Biden expected to sign an executive order as early as Tuesday, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The president has been weighing additional executive action since the collapse of a bipartisan border bill earlier this year.

The Biden administration has grown ever more conservative on border issues as the president faces ceaseless criticism from Republicans and there are large numbers of migrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico who are not easily returned, especially as global displacement grows from war, climate change and more.

sounds like a right leaning conservative to me

what about additional executive action on anything else like women's rights, minimum wage, or anything that could count toward the human good

vape shops in the US sale it too sometimes

big issue here not just with tianeptine pills

most products in vape shops and gas stations are either fake and/or inferior quality and/or questionable

includes nicotine vape products, hemp selections, fake THC products, etcetera

unregulated and/or fake products are a huge problem in the US and are not being handled in the same way as other things in the marketplace

also some of these products are sold out of package individually with no food regulations (no handwashing with gloves or anything to do with food safety)

all this overshadows what could be a regulated market with lab tested and correctly dosed/portioned products sold at specifically licensed dispensaries with staff trained in these fields

at this point it is starting to look intentionally set up and kept like this to keep the population in a certain place

these products are also widely available in the US due to dealers catching on to the lower prices of these alternatives and due to the option of possibly getting this item or others mentioned online with overnight shipping sometimes being an option

lots of THC and tons of ignoring reality

as someone whose job takes him on the roads late into the night there is always Waffle House open

have not played Tekken in a hot minute but having Waffle House as a stage would definitely persuade me to start playing it again

another canidate question what has your past politics done for me locally? even nationally? if the answer is unsure or maybe some tv propaganda answer that was fed to you then why do they deserve votes

about $800 last year for auto insurance

this year the number is about $1400

same vehicle same city

income stayed the same if not lower due to less work

new vehicles are more than likely unaffordable seeing how expensive a ten year old vehicle is

how the f#%k are we not in the streets

headline should read

they want to "PAY" the Supreme Court to keep it that way

but do not counter state laws

the US has been letting states make decisions instead of making federal laws stick just like cannabis is federally illegal unless the state says so

did she and Biden also say they would do what they promised in the last campaign?

did those staffers get their jobs back?

are people not still locked up and businesses thriving and cannabis consumers still being arrested?

out of touch the lot of them

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED

some states like Tennessee have removed EV infrastructure the charging stations

how is range not an issue

why is it the US is hellbent on making everything a state by state issue but at the same time saying federal law is above state law in such cases like Texas but states with legal cannabis or states with legal abortion are allowed to be above federal

is the US the United States or not

make it make sense

this is occuring in other industries as well to the point of affecting a lot of stuff surprised there is not more articles pertaining to this

pc shop here

BitLocker has caused several phone calls and most of the time a new drive (depending on the integrity of the current drive) and a fresh windows install is the only fix and that usually exposes bad or outdated hardware complicating things more

also no one on the left went live on any national tv broadcast to denounce it either

thought we already were in a recession and spending more because of inflation does not mean a healthy economy either

well he fired all the staffers who admitted to cannabis use even though he promised not to

hard to work and get the job done with someone who flip flops on everything he says probably quit too

intel GPUs definitely won out for what you get for the money

leave to the US to turn abortion into a state's rights issue

just like cannabis and certain other things your rights depends on the state you live wind up in

maybe US voters who should take more than colors and letters into consideration such as job resume over the years, what are they financially invested in, past examples of experience, et cetera

baptism by oil

doing the right thing and a leader catching flak is supposed to be part of being a leader

if Biden would have done enough and not quartered assed everything and put the burden of everything on the citizens he would not even have to put effort in to win like any candidate

Obama and Biden chained the Green Party candidate to chair for simply wanting to debate with the other two parties

Biden made cannabis a campaign promise and he walked back right at the start of his presidency

Harris laughed about having consumed cannabis in college while discussing her cannabis arrests

if Trump vs Biden is all we got left we are truly fucked

work in a non food producing field that uses the same stringent requirements as food to table is suppose to have

one thing constantly cropping up in workroom discussions is the fact people will grab a competitors product with cheaper inferior questionable ingredients that comes from places not paying employees a proper wage unclean conditions the whole nine yards every time and price is not always the final deciding factor

this will take more than people standing up for animal rights (thanks and shout out to the ones on the front line) might be a whole change of culture that is needed before this issue could be addressed
