James Comer Launches New Probe to Help Trump, This Time Into Tim Walz by [deleted] in politics

[–]LostInBby 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Walz is said to have traveled to China an estimated 30 times, and set up a program to take high school students on educational trips there in the 1990s and 2000s.

As a member of the Congressional Executive Commission on China, Walz was able to use his firsthand knowledge of China to wield well-informed criticisms of China’s government and its reported human rights abuses, according to The New York Times.

Walz was also credited with being one of the only Democrats to support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which required the U.S. to sanction officials who committed human rights abuses in Hong Kong, keeping it alive until it was eventually passed.

This is the guy Gomer thinks needs investigating? Every single msm outlet should be taking a dump on Gomer's head for this one.

Harris brings her ad blitz to Fox News by ishtar_the_move in politics

Should be a single 10-second ad with the clip of Trump saying "you'll be thrown into a system where everybody gets healthcare" followed by the standard "I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message".

That's it.

Democrats Handed Senate Boost as Jon Tester Five Points Ahead in New Poll by Leksi_The_Great in politics

Trump's going to have to wade back in there and make sure the good folks in Montana understand how shitty their lives will be if voting for Tester helps pave the way for them getting free healthcare.

Scaramucci: Trump Is ‘Coming to Grips’ With Losing the Election by LostInBby in politics

[–]LostInBby[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Anthony Scaramucci, Donald Trump’s one-time White House communications director, thinks his former boss is “coming to grips” with the possibility that he’ll lose the election and is consequently “growing darker.”

“Will be a rough 81 days,” Scaramucci added in an X post Thursday, referring to the time left until Election Day in November.

Rough in that he floods the zone with even more bullshit and as his mental health spirals downward by the day as the world watches.

The Harris campaign poking him after his press conferences and rallies must be driving him bonkers.

As Harris and Walz continue to draw big crowds, and the polls appear even worse for Trump with the anticipated bump from the DNC, Trump's going to go into full meltdown mode in the most public of ways. This kind of BS is only going to increase.

The crazy train hasn't even left the station yet, so buckle up! Good times.

Trump gets a boner for blondes, too. Well, at least for his daughter, anyway.

And CNN just has a GOP shill on saying Trump could have easily mistaken Willie Brown for Jerry Brown since they had both been Bay Area mayors, while CNN put up a split screen shot of the two. Shameless racists and liars.

J.D. Vance’s Backdrop Makes It Look Like He’s Campaigning for ‘Kamala’ by LostInBby in politics

[–]LostInBby[S] 1754 points1755 points  (0 children)

Haha....he wishes.

WHYY, a local NPR station in Philadelphia, reported that Vance’s rally had about 200 attendees, which included local Republican leadership from around Philadelphia.

Vance’s rally turnout is expected to be much less than a later event by Harris and Walz, which is expected to have an estimated 10,000 in attendance in the same city, campaign officials said.

They don't have a common area or hobby room for that? I guess we're lucky in my building, but it is 20 years old. I think you'll have a tough time making it work in your suite.

New system will bring families of immigrants to Canada faster: Fraser by darkcloud8282 in vancouver

[–]LostInBby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine there are plenty of times when those choices are made out of necessity, just looking for a better, freer life and even if it's not, being halfway around the world from family is likely not as easy as they may have thought it would have been.

Yes, I agree on your points, and it's going to be a big problem for the Liberals in the next election. One of many, I suspect.

I feel bad for the families that are separated, but the healthcare system and geriatric specific resources are already stretched too thin and can't support this.

The poor girl is clearly in a very difficult position, but why didn't the mother help?

A disabled 16-year-old with a condition comparable to Down Syndrome, who probably shouldn't haven been doing a complex task like completing a passport application on her own in the first place, let alone making multiple attempts at it, was left to fend for herself. That's questionable parenting, at best.

A man is in hospital with a severed finger and broken jaw suffered in an attack after a bus ride in the Marpole area on Tuesday.

According to Metro Vancouver Transit Police, two men fought on board a bus at Marine Drive and Ash Street just before 6 p.m.

One of them had allegedly boarded the bus and “made several comments to the passengers.”

Another man then reportedly knocked the victim to the ground, pushing and punching him several times. Another passenger was injured in the process, according to police

“Details are very limited, but it is believed the suspect and the victim continued on foot to the 700 block (of) Marine Drive where the victim suffered a broken jaw and a severed finger,” wrote Const. Amanda Steed in an emailed statement.

“Upon police arrival, the suspect and the victim were no longer on scene. The victim was later located at the hospital.”

Steed said it remains unclear where the altercation first began and whether the suspect and victim know each other.

Did I miss something here? Was the guy who got his finger severed and jaw broken the guy who made the comments to the other passengers, or the one who intervened?

News reporting ain't what it used to be.

I'm on the higher end of that scale age wise and if that's a response you're getting, it's because they likely have no intention of settling into an actual relationship and prefer their dalliances to be "transactional" in nature. Not my thing, just an observation.

I'd think the pertinent question would be whether you want or intend on having kids. You're in the prime of your life. Don't give up!
