This affects us all

Definitely the greatest strain from inflation hits the poorest Americans.
Yes. Government increasing “fees” also disproportionately impact the poor. FI when Illinois raised license plate stickers to $151.
 
You probably poop your pants like Biden did the other day, because it gives you a chuckle.
I guess when you are unable to generate a response you revert to juvenile taunts like the rest of the right. Funny how everything the right senses as a weakness of Trump gets projected on to Biden. They learned from the W v. Kerry campaign that it works with the base.
 

I guess only in Germany do the illegals commit more violent crimes than the legals. 🤷🏼‍♂️
But don’t worry, everything is fine here…!

These aren’t illegals in Germany. Europe has a lower crime rate than the US, and for a host of reasons (especially country of origin) seems to have more problems integrating migrants.

The US has a higher native born crime rate, and our illegal immigrant population is overwhelmingly Latin American and Asian. Certain LA countries do have crime problems (tho they are waning), but frankly these are generally lower crime cohorts than Middle Easterners/North Africans and poorer sub-Saharan Africans (most African immigrants to the US are pretty well off by the standards of their countries) that move to Europe.

It does matter where people are from and whether they will integrate. Hispanics and Asians integrate in the US, probably faster than people believed as recent as a decade ago.

No, the system has been the same since the beginning. Representation needs and service and electoral college numbers are determined by census. Census counts everyone. Think about our history when almost everyone was an immigrant. Better yet, think about slave period, slaves were counted, 3/5 worth for representation and electoral college, and they were considered animals , property.
Slaves have nothing to do with illegal foreign nationals getting counted in our representative government now.
 
Holy shit. Big Will has met Elon too!?! No wonder Elon has been so successful.

Chronic name dropping, even if made up, is often a sign of low self esteem and narcissism.
Just name the ONE most egregious Statement that you think, I've made and I will expand the proofs to readers here that have ANY doubts.

Until then please remain behind the counter.
 
Seems low for Trump, after Brandon's actions or lack of same.

My Jewish relatives are : 1. All in for Trump, 2. All adults in and Participating in our 2nd Amendment rights.

I didn't poll previous years voting, but I know most were Dems. They arrived from Austria just pre WW 2 to NYC. As generations passed, they have moved to Conn, Calif, NJ, Sweden pre Covid ) and just a few still in NYC.
 
270 were caught and arrested. You know that doesn’t capture close to all of them, right? Many crimes go uncharged every day. Think of all the people that drink and drive, but don’t get a DUI, as an example.

It’s an issue. People should just use common sense, and be able to talk about it. Just like people should have been wary of priests, scout leaders, and coaches in the past, people should be aware of men around young kids. Most men don’t want to take care of other people’s children. If they do, people should be aware of the red flags waiving in their face.
Sting operations for sexual crimes should be constant AND punitive ! No matter the status of the miscreant !

IMO, DWI has gotten a little better, but is still too high !

But there are good persons out there that want to help youngsters. My BIL is one that was an Eagle Scout, has 4 children and has been involved in Scouting most of his life !

I was a Boy Scout, not so hard to believe ? Had a great time, camping out on islands in Lake George , NY, at Cooperstown, where we visited the Baseball HOF.

Biggest issue were the old type tents that leaked in the rain and night time visiting skunks.

I find it perfectly rational thought that an innocent man that has basic funds to hire Attorneys to defend himself against scurrilous charges do so.
Innocent of what? I can see why you prefer that he not be charged or convicted as you like him. But he is not innocent of anything reported in this case. He had sex with a porn star, he had a deal with Pecker to cover his butt by buying stories accusing him of being a whoremonger. He had to avoid publicity that he had sex with a porn star, decided to buy her silence, had her paid off and reimbursed Cohen for paying her off. He claimed the reimbursement to be legal fees. He made the payoff as he was running for President. All seems incontrovertible.

"Lower crime rate ", despite actual PROOF that the stats you continue to post as facts, are only ESTIMATES as reported by the FBI's under their most current reporting system, here you go again.

Did you actually look at the tweet or just the numbers in the visual? The tweet has a lot more for Trump than "seems low for Trump".

From the tweet-

"Now I asked what they would do if the election was tomorrow:- 12 committed to Trump- 4 wavering between Trump and Other/Blank- 6 committed to Other/blank- 3 wavering between Biden and Other/Blank"
 
Slaves have nothing to do with illegal foreign nationals getting counted in our representative government now.

Non-citizens were also counted in the Censuses conducted from the beginning of the Republic on. If you lived in the US, you were counted. If you were a slave, you were counted as 3/5s.

In a great irony, slaveholders wanted slaves to count more, while non-slave states didn't want them to count at all.

If you don't think Germany has a lower crime rate than the US, I'm not sure what to say. "Get a clue" might be best.

Any Jew with a family long time memory to the 20 th Century and today in Brandons America should rethink their voting Dem !

It should be ZERO !

Did you actually understand the tweet ?

I don't follow. What exactly has Biden done to get hate from Jews?

I did not realize this until a year ago when helping my son with his history but it seems antiquated and ripe for abuse…
 
Okey Dokey, I'll fill you in after the market closes.

First thing you have to know is that I've testified UNDER OATH, in Municipal Court, State Court, Federal Court, numerous Grand Juries and Depositions.

When I place my hand on The Bible, and swear "to tell the Truth and The Entire Truth", I do so with no fear or trepidation because my conscience is clear !

The following is true ! Long story, but all comes together at the end.

I started my corporate job on the Management Training Dept. at Saks Fifth Ave at their main building at 611 Fifth Ave. I was promoted to run the Winter Whites Sale, and it did well. Saks decided to run a full catalogue issue and I was tasked to research the type of merchandise that stores like Bloomindale's, Bergdorf's, Neiman-Marcus and others carried in their catalogues.

Saks was growing in NYC sales and opening new stores across the USA. The 611 Fifth was rapidly running out of storage space and shipping space.

Just before the White Sale started they purchased a building on West 14 St, just past the wholesale meat packing district. The building had 6-8 floors and 6 or so trucking bays to ship goods either retail or wholesale.

The catalogue started and eventually used 3 or 4 floors of the building. Retail mail orders eventually reached $ 40 million on an annualized basis. I was the Operations Manager, reporting to the overall manager.

This all occurred in the early 70's.

I left Saks and joined the NJSP.

Several decades passed by and I was looking for an easy job in Security.

My Sister who had first got me into Saks, was now the GM/VP for the NYC American Girl Place store across 49 st from Saks. Her Loss Prevention head was a Retired First Grade Detective from NYPD. (First Grade is the highest rank of Detective, equal to a Captain, but must be earned not take a test !)

So he knew some Retired NYPD members that had started a Security company and needed help. I interviewed and was hired that day to be their Night Supervising Inspector. As such I would take a company car from their Newark, NJ office and unannounced inspect their approx 75/80 sites in Manhattan, literally from The World Trade Center to sites above Harlem. If they were short of actual guards, I would spot fill in at places like Sotheby's, Empire State Building and special events like Fashion Week.

One Fashion Week I was assigned to Guard a Meet and Greet Cocktail party in Lower Manhattan !

Imagine my surprise that the building on W 14Th Street was the EXACT place where I had worked for Saks almost 40 years prior !

There was a small sports car, that had been brought up the freight elevator ! Everyone 100 or so were exclaiming on the car !
After the free booze and canapes ran out I met the owner of the car and it was Elon !

He showed me the roadster Type S and IIRC it was the First Vehicle ! It was very low and small and I didn't fit ! He said it was a tight for him as well ! Told him it looked like a Lotus Elan. He advised that Lotus was under contract to deliver "gliders" (just the body), and the rest of assembly was in Calif.

I don't know if the "show" was for additional financing or to sell to forward production.

I knew it as a Lotus lookalike, because in the mid 70's & 80's I was a silent partner of a Lotus dealership in NJ. We had to have 2 Lotuses in inventory for the main area , which was buying classics and rehabbing for sale. We would a floor plan from a local bank, which would finance buying Vets, Ferraris, Mustangs, Austin Healey and the like !

But that's another story!

I would never accuse you of lying. I just don't agree with your political views. I enjoy your stories and believe them. Especially the one where the wedding venue terminated their open bar policy after your family wedding. LOL

Almost every person in this country can trace their lineage back to not in America, of course lots of people are going to have a softer spot or immigrants in much of the country.

People with Scotch-Irish backgrounds - often poor yeoman farmers by ancestry, and settled in greater Appalachia over time - are the exceptions.

And every nationality, race of immigrants were ostracized as sub-humans, and unwanted as they arrived.(even by previous influxes of immigrants that were also treated that way)
