For balance, one of trump's claims was that democrats kill babies. Literally. He thinks that abortions are routinely carried out after birth.duncs500 wrote: Fri Jun 28, 2024 1:03 pm I only saw the Biden bit where he was talking gibberish, it was a car crash. FFS.
He's a fucking idiot and if you support him you're a fucking idiot and if you voted for him you're a fucking idiot. Hows that for balance.Sundayjumper wrote: Fri Jun 28, 2024 1:22 pmFor balance, one of trump's claims was that democrats kill babies. Literally.

As someone who knows and has worked with Americans for a long time now, I’ll have to disagree with you on that. It’s a least three quarters of them.dan wrote: Fri Jun 28, 2024 1:39 pm The biggest mistake I made was thinking Americans are like us because they speak the same language, they're really not.

I'd be interested to see if the working poor in the US would prefer a system where they got a better min wage and weren't trapped into jobs for healthcare.GG. wrote: Fri Jun 28, 2024 1:59 pmPart of the reason they're a third richer than us.

All well and good whinging about income inequality but if the UK is equivalent in GDP per capita to pretty much the poorest of US states its hard to say that we have anything like a sensible model of taxation, spending and investment.
I heard that - in a recent investigation spanning the whole of the US population - half of them were found to be below the computed average intelligence level.dan wrote: Fri Jun 28, 2024 1:39 pm

In other true-but-quite-confusing news, the vast majority of them have more than the average number of arms.mik wrote: Fri Jun 28, 2024 2:36 pm I heard that - in a recent investigation spanning the whole of the US population - half of them were found to be below the computed average intelligence level.![]()
