Withhold from team winnings.
Withhold from team winnings.
Yes, it’s the same family members who refused to do their part by getting vaccinated and were convinced that the rest of us would be dead by now from the “government poison vaccine.”
Next year at SCOTUS: “Just kidding about the states’ rights we talked about.”
Wonder why…hmmm…
Trump controls a cult, that’s why.
Cult leaders can get their followers to do anything and the followers will forgive the leader for anything, including felonies. They will dismiss any criticism of the leader as lies or made up to hurt the leader politically. No matter how true the criticism might be.
At the end of the day, it’s very much like the relationship between religious worshippers and their god.
As an American who is absolutely horrified and embarrassed about our own political climate and voter behavior, it’s very good to see a sane and dull transfer of power.
Sunak’s speech after stepping down:
Whilst he has been my political opponent, Keir Starmer, will shortly become our prime minister. In this job, his successes will be all our successes, and I wish him and his family well. Whatever our disagreements in this campaign, He is a decent, public spirited man who I respect.
He and his family deserve the very best of our understanding as they make the huge transition to their new lives behind this door. And as he grapples with this most demanding of jobs in an increasingly unstable world.
You’re splitting hairs. Fact of the matter is that Europe is doing a much better job at making higher education available to all.
In Europe the rich also pay for additional education to maximise their offsprings merits. Maybe not to the same degree, but it is there.
Maybe in a few countries like the UK, but expensive private education is not common in continental Europe. The best public universities are tuition free and provide some of the best education in the world. Rich and poor side by side in the auditorium.
More education generally means richer.
Very US-centric take. College education should be part of the general public education system like it is in Europe. It should not be connected to a person’s net worth. In Europe, you go to college based on merits, not wealth.
I also think it’s a very questionable conclusion to say that the more educated people are, the more they vote Republican. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Hence, Republicans have incentive to keep people as dumb as possible.
I often hear conservative family members complain about the public school system and calling for it to be dismantled. To them, the public school system is the reason for every evil the US faces, both on economic issues and social issues. They all listen to a lot of conservative talk radio and happily mix bible quotes and Rush Limbaugh quotes into the same sentence.
There’s literally nothing Donald Trump could do that would make his worshipping voters change their minds about him. They believe anything critical of him is a lie and made up to hurt him politically. I can’t believe how dumb the electorate has become. Must be a general lack of education.
Trump has got to be among the biggest narcissists alive.
I mean, Americans certainly do seem dumber than the average world citizen, and even dumb enough to go back to Trump, but it’s not because of the debate.
Please send me a link to where you got your Magic 8-ball. I’m very interested in the lottery numbers it might spit out.
How do you know Biden is not going to win? Trump has plenty of skeletons in the closet to turn off independents.
Just a troll. Don’t take the bait.
The article is talking macroeconomics, you’re talking microeconomics. Two different worlds.
This thread must be mind-blowing for Americans.
Your error: Voting for a person, not policy. There.
Hoping the same for the United States.
