LGBTQ+ are the most discriminated against group in the US where 1 of 3 have faced some form of discrimination in the past year. I highly doubt that they have the same rights even in your European wonderland, hence the continuous push. But from my experience, most people similar to you have some sort of predisposition to hating these people, so that's why you say it's being shoved down your throats. You wouldn't say that otherwise. A lot of far right people here say the exact same thing and is a well-known talking point.
Well gay boy you aren’t saying anything about their rights. Which rights do they don’t have?

Who knew Biden had it in him. Old man showed up tonight
It's a long way to the vote still.

But this is the kind of rhetoric that would have him winning in a landslide.

2) Russia - I get why it's a concern, I mean I wouldn't be able to get a security clearance if I had massive debt and a poor credit score. But the whole Russia collusion thing with Trump was never really proven. Unfortunately though, some of the retards on the right are helping to fulfill the prophecy by showing support for Putin and ending support for Ukraine. I would imagine the "Deep State" at the NSA is keeping track of this.
We sort of agree on the other bullet points so let's focus on this one.

I don't really care that collusion was not proven at this point. Up until this day I assume there has been no collusion, because I think we'd have had some evidence by now. But the safety concern lies in his constant bowing down to Putin. On this forum Trump would no doubt be called a throater. The sight of Putin is enough for him to get down on his knees. And it's not just Putin really. It's anyone who'd be able to throw a substantial amount of money at Trump. He sells out in a matter of seconds.

Now maybe this endless greed and the willingness to humiliate yourself for an extra dollar is what makes him a ruthless business man (or a con artist really). And there are other people like Trump. He's hardly the first person to prostitute himself. But having a person with such lack of integrity at the helm of your country is an insane risk.

This bitch... go live in Iraq or other countries to see what a privilege you have to live in the US. I do not like Biden one bit, but people here don't realize how much better they have it here no matter what is going on... Unbelievable people voted for this idiot...

The most secure boarder of all times :lol2:
I mean, Trump even pointed out the illegal immigrant murders under his own presidency as justification for his wall, e.g.:

Eight months is forever. Especially with two leading candidates who could both die of natural causes in that time.

But rhetoric? I don't think people vote for rhetoric or debate anymore. It's there, but it doesn't sway any votes.

finance bros ruined Boeing
Finance bros within Boeing ruined Boeing.

And you can probably credit Airbus too for contrasting how soft and weak they grew.

Giving vibes of the teacher who had dreams of broadway but is now stuck teaching middle school English in a small Pennsylvania county.
My vibes were more Stockholm Syndrome GOP Stepford Wife.

Given everything that's happening to them, I even wonder if it's not malicious sabotage.
To be fair the wheel fell off of a Boeing 777-200 which is 22 years old. More of a United maintenance issue than anything else.

Having said that, Boeing deserves much of the stick it gets. There is an old joke that McDonald Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing’s money.
The merger with MD was followed by MD execs occupying the top positions at Boeing. Then the bean counters had a field day and the Boeing engineers were relegated to be “just engineers” instead of managing the company. And then, everything started going downhill.

Totally makes sense.

That old joke is pretty much the M.O. playbook of private equity these days though.

This doesn’t look good. Boeing whistle-blower found dead. Might easily be a coincidence but somehow he died after a "self-inflicted wound" after giving a testimony against his old company. Usually, such things happened in the 3rd world or behind the iron curtain.

Discussion on the web: did he have two self inflicted wounds to the head?
