I think a lot of liberals are glad he is the Republican candidate.
My parents were born in 46, I was born in 64 and I was the last year of the boomers. I personally have never owned a home. I do not blame others for the poor decisions I have made to not buy a home. It was purely my own fuck up and I have been paying the price ever since. I am not jealous of people that made wiser decisions in life and have prospered and have faired well. They worked hard and made sound choices in life, my hats off to them they deserve it period. Yea I think it’s funny how people always want to blame others for there own poor choices.This
Oh, and for anyone that wants to blame Boomers ? Go Fuck yourself and quit whining. Get a job. I did. In fact, I worked for 55 years. I owe my critics nothing and if you want to criticize me over something that I had/have no control over, you can go to hell.
That's why they've spent the last few years trying to destroy him.
Yeah right.
Throughout the course of my life, I've made decisions based on the best available information at the time. Have all of those decisions been correct in hindsight ? No, absolutely not.
I've just been fortunate that most of the important decisions actually did work out. But, in the midst of all those decisions, the common denominator was a lot of sweat, hard work and toil.
I'm probably set financially for the rest of my life. I drive a 2006 GMC Yukon Denali with about 170K miles on it. Bought it used, paid off a LONG time ago. I have zero interest (no pun intended) in getting into a new truck. Particularly not at $80K or $100K and payments. Gee, I wonder if there's any correlation between my financial condition and NOT having a shiny new truck in the driveway......
She's from the Noassatall Indian tribe you racists.
I think he has a point. There's a strong segment on the left that think the country hates him so bad that there's no way he can win and he gives them the best chance for 4 more years of Biden. But then, they've always been delusional too.
I made $5/hr roofing in the mid-'80s (working alongside illegals and convicts), and that was a FUCKTON more than the other HS kids slinging icecream or working a cash register. It was "real" hard work, but I loved the fact that I worked as hard as the men and got paid for it. In fact, some of them didn't like me because of how hard I worked. My paychecks had massive girth for a 14 y/o. I had knives, swords, Jivaro Blowguns, and all sorts of geedunk shit out of the back of Soldier of Fortune that ya'll could only look at the pitcher and dream about.

That's because they don't believe we live in a shared reality and they have their own "facts" and "truths" that don't match our shared reality.
I grew up In and worked in my uncles mom & pop grocery store in the early 1960’s.
I stocked , swept floors , dusted cans etc. I would be there at 0600 until mid afternoons 6 days a week. My pay … a couple of dollars maybe & a jar of pickles or a lb of hamburger meat.
Needless to say , he got the better part of the deal. I did develop a good work ethic, and knew I didn’t want to own a grocery store.
So according to that, you are saying that union grocery clerks made $3.00 an hour. I made more than that flipping burgers at King's Food Host before I got the A+P gig. A+P was ran out of business by grossly overpriced union labor (I'll be the first to admit it). You're trying to compare todays non union shops against them.Just data, not taking a side.

Remember not all grocery stores, even then, were union shops. Unions made agreements with stores and chains and as I recall got a sweetheart deal from A+P. The grocery store across the street (Locally owned, independent), was non union and my friends who worked there made far less than I did.
I was called into my high school counselor's office during my senior year due to my skipping afternoon classes to work at A+P. I remember the dropped jaw reaction when she saw I made more than she did.

I've done a few things very similar, the satisfaction is so rewarding! Some people need a little training.

Not sure if that place is still there. We’d get beers at the corner bar next to the old whore house, and burritos at the place that plays nacho libre on loop
Ahh……the old whore house, I do miss it so……
they ruined everything when they rerouted the highway…

There’s a flaw in the design of this site.
If someone blocks me before i block them, then I have to suffer through seeing their garbage when smoothbrain mouthbreathers reply to the fucker. What’s worse, i can’t block that user after they’ve blocked me.
(p.s. i actually like frank so relax)

Republicans lost a lot of down ticket races in 2018, 2020, 2022 and it could happen again. Trump has been winning with the support of 60-70% of Republicans. Yes, the liberals who never voted for him still will not, but independents and a group of Republicans are also against him. He has won the primary, but polling showed others had a better chance of winning the election that matters.
Another fun fact: Kansas City is fascinating in that it was served for decades by all of the “big three” (A&P, Kroger, and Safeway) and in that all three chains pulled out in about a ten-year period starting in the late 1970s.
Oh boohoo, somebody call the fucking whaaa mbulance
They probably went bankrupt paying stock clerks.
In 1985 I started making $ 6.00 hrs working for my uncle in the paving and grading buisness, and worked with him for 14 yrs. I worked my ass off and destroyed my back and wrists running jack hammers and vibra plates and running equipment that needed better seats. I did not make a lot of money but I got the experience, hard earned. Six more years and it will be a wrap, but then I’m old, lol.
Maybe because of all the stock the stock boys moved out the back door for personal gain?!?
Jeebuz, I had to pause the video a couple of times to catch my breath. Dyin' of laughter.......
Funny man, Even the produce manager had to get the on duty manager to both unlock the rear door. They understood loss prevention. They were not a TG+Y organization as groceries back then were thin margin operations.Maybe because of all the stock the stock boys moved out the back door for personal gain?!?
Come to speak of it the Produce manager got in deep shit for offering mini whites to the regional VP's son just after I moved on.
Don’t worry, I still have my tactical assault sneezes and my heavy artillery coughs
I don’t know and I don’t care. My abs hurt so bad from laughing so hard
Rules and shite…
I’d have so much fun crushing souls while taking my kids to the grocery store in this monster
Edit: here’s an article about this beautiful monster

That, and it really doesn't matter who blocks who first. You still get the references if someone replies to someone you block. " You are blocking xxxxxx. Click here to view anyway."
ran stores for 2 chains,
first was non union, to the point that if anyone did organize, they were told do it and we close the store,
the other was a union shop,
the non union had a payscale that was flexible, as in a baggers wage scale may start at say $7, (been out of the business 8 yrs, not sure what wages are there now) and top out at $10, with 50cent increments, so as a manager, I could hire a bagger at any slot on that scale,
train them to run a register and they went to a different job class and the scale changed, etc etc,
dept clerks were much higher, and some positions got a premium
when I switched (W/D went bankrupt, pulled out of VA) to a union shop, the scales worked differently,
in this are, in 2004 till I got out of it in 2015, it was all scale based,
you got points for time in the business, and points for experience in different depts,
so a basic bagger, never worked a day in his/her/they life, got in at basicall minimum wage (wanna say $7.25 then,) but a clerk hired for a dept with 20 yrs exp, and experience all the depts, would be hired at top of the scale,, then about $10.50 maybe $11, and would not get a raise since they were at the top of the scale unless the contract called for it, (in the non union company that employee would be hired in at $12 or better and get a raise every year)
contract was extremely weak, and those that paid (Va is a right to work state, you did not have to join to work in a union shop) the $10 or so a week in dues got basically nothing for it,
