Original Mike বলেছেন...: Here's an epic media pot shot;

'Trump tries to claim, without any evidence, that Kamala Harris did not work at McDonalds.'

What are they teaching at journalism school?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৪৪ AM
Todd বলেছেন...: "When Republicans screw up, that is the story. When Democrats screw up, the Republican reaction is the story." still holds true. Where are the "reporters" following up on Kamala's claim of working in fast food? Where is the "proof"? Why are they asking Vance this instead of looking into it themselves?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৪৯ AM
WK বলেছেন...: Couldn’t Kamala just request the social security administration to release her work records from that time period? When I look at my social security records they seem to know how much I earned each year and contributed. I would imagine they have records of the sources. Or she could release her tax filings for those years. Would have had to have filed if she got a W-2, no? Seems easy to resolve. Actually still have my copies in a box from 1977……..; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫০ AM
RideSpaceMountain বলেছেন...: That letter from McDonald's about "them being unable" to find a record of KamaCurry's employment with the chain was perfect corporate-counsel-speak for "yeah, the bitch is lying." I LOL'd.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫০ AM
tim in vermont বলেছেন...: The Casey and Baldwin ads tying them to Trump, somehow, when they voted for his impeachment based on no actual evidence, is the funniest thing about the video.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৩ AM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: The fact that they are attempting to make Trump prove a negative demonstrates how fake and rigged our elections are.

It doesn't matter who you vote for in November. They intend to install Kamala Harris as President and to erect razor wire fences around Washington DC to Inaugurate her so that YOU cannot get in.

What are you willing to do then?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৪ AM
wendybar বলেছেন...: I am just sitting back laughing at all the idiots making bigger fools of themselves OVER Trump trolling the lazy, 2 checked person they are trying to install as the President after they uninstalled the delusional installation they put in before her.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৪ AM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: I would advise all Americans ... DO NOT BRING YOUR CELL PHONE to Washington DC this time. They used these spying/tracking devices to track down everyone who protested Biden's fake installation in 2020.

Bring burner phones and ditch them after the event.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৬ AM
tim maguire বলেছেন...: Why would Vance "deal" with the potshots? They help Trump. Their nonsense about "claimed without evidence" when it's Harris who can't provide evidence only reinforces the point that Harris probably lied about working at McDonalds (a weird sort of stolen valor).

I guess he could laugh into the microphone.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৬ AM
Bob B বলেছেন...: There is a SSA form that will give you a detailed listing of wages and employers. (Form SSA-7050.) If Harris had any friends in the current administration, they could probably expedite a response.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৬ AM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U বলেছেন...: Only Corruptocrats are allowed "Stunts"; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৭ AM
tim in vermont বলেছেন...: The best Trump troll so far is still the meme with Obama saying "I need a VP dumber than me," then Biden saying "I need a VP dumber than me," then Harris saying "I need a VP dumber than me..."; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৮ AM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U বলেছেন...: Rolling Stone - (a laughable D-hack publication with shattered credibility) sez wot?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১১:৫৯ AM
n.n বলেছেন...: From the why didn't we think of this first file.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০০ PM
tim in vermont বলেছেন...: The thing is that every modern automobile is connected to the "internet of things" and has cabin cameras and microphones and obviously, a GPS.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০০ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: She didn't even LIVE in the United States for most of her life growing up.

McDonalds USA has released a statement saying they have no record of her ever working there.

The media is very carefully avoiding the question of whether Harris worked at McDonalds IN CANADA, where she was raised by her Indian mother, who divorced her Marxist professor father.

They don't want Americans realizing that another foreigner is going to be installed as President of the United States following noted Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০০ PM
tim in vermont বলেছেন...: Because they are not stable geniuses.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০১ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: If your car is older than 2019, you're clear. Obviously, you don't bring your own car to the war.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০১ PM
Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: "Why would Vance "deal" with the potshots? They help Trump."

It was a very friendly challenge and he dealt with it especially well, bringing up the assassination attempts.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০২ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Note: That statement was made by McDonald's USA.

It was not made by McDonalds CANADA, which is where Kamala Harris grew up. She's barely American.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৩ PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U বলেছেন...: JD Vance is a spectacular speaker. Thanks for posting this, Ann.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৪ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Of course, if you grew up and all your jobs were in Canada, then the SSA form wouldn't have any of that listed.

Kamala Harris wasn't even raised in the United States.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৪ PM
mindnumbrobot বলেছেন...: The legacy media is shamelessly partisan, but do not underestimate them. I spoke with my brother-in-law last night, who lives in Georgia, is incredibly intelligent, upper middle class, and casually follows politics. He's undecided because he believes Trump has become too over the top. Trump is of course the same person he has always been, but my brother-in-law has been persuaded to believe otherwise by a dishonest media.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৪ PM
Carol বলেছেন...: I thought the employees worked for the franchisee; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৫ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: And let's remember: The assassination attempts shouldn't be seen or thought of in the past tense.

They're still gonna murder Donald Trump.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৫ PM
Ampersand বলেছেন...: If Kamala worked at McDonalds during a particular year's summer vacation, she has a simple way to at least show a possibility that she worked there. Her FICA contributions are a part of her SSA records. McDonalds would have withheld FICA from her paycheck. She could go online, print out the SSA earnings statement, redact her private information, and show earnings from that year that she can claim came from McDonalds.

The McDonald's statement issued yesterday says that they have no record of Harris ever working there, but that their records going back to the 80's are incomplete.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৬ PM
RideSpaceMountain বলেছেন...: Even better for her. America's great socialist neighbor to the North definitely has detailed local and federal employment data going back that far.

I bet her employment records are only a well-placed phone call away. Prove us wrong Kamburgaler.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৭ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: Trump has become too over the top.

The hell does that even mean? Can your brother-in-law actually cite something Trump "has become over the top" of?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৭ PM
Lilly, a dog বলেছেন...: It was a Cunning Stunt. What's that old joke again?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৭ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: "Of course, if you grew up and all your jobs were in Canada, then the SSA form wouldn't have any of that listed."

I believe she has identified a McDonalds in Alameda as where she worked.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৯ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: She didn't work there. She lied. The campaign won't even discuss it because they know they've been caught in a lie. The campaign knows if it were true, they could just post her SSA records.

She's lying. Everything about her is fake. Including her nationality and race. And she's going to be installed in the White House whether we vote for her or not.

Deal with it.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৯ PM
tommyesq বলেছেন...: I call bs on her working at McDonalds, but I would note that roughly 80% of McDonalds restaurants worldwide (and 90% in the USA) are franchises, and the McDonalds Corporation would be very unlikely to have records of individual employees that the franchisees hired.

Of course, one would think a reporter would have figured this out already...; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৯ PM
Old and slow বলেছেন...: And anyone who has ever been employed in the USA knows this. So, this excludes a good few Democratic voters, but includes most of the "undecideds".; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:০৯ PM
Dixcus বলেছেন...: She also claims to be black and is not.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:১০ PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U বলেছেন...: Both the leftwing Dems (Casey/ Baldwin) who are running away from Biden - voted WITH Biden over 99% of the time. Democrats are lying liars who lie. Cynical lying liars who lie. Ugh.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:১২ PM
tim in vermont বলেছেন...: I know that the house policy here is against European travel, but you know what? In Europe they take the french fry seriously. They use lard or beef tallow, and it tells in the final product.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:১৪ PM
John henry বলেছেন...: Tim, Every auto built in the past 10 years or so has bluetooth transmitting a MAC address 24/7. Sometimes even when the car is parked.

Roads all across American have tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of bluetooth trackers that record every mac address that passes theme. Car, phone, tablet, laptop, hearing aids atc. It's anonymized and used strictly for traffic flow control (Uh-huh)

This is one of a dozen or so companies https://www.smatstraffic.com/

Plus license plate scanners.

John Henry; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:১৮ PM
mindnumbrobot বলেছেন...: এই মন্তব্যটি লেখক দ্বারা সরানো হয়েছে।; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২২ PM
RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...: This is all so moronic. If Kamala work at McDonalds she could say "Look, I worked at McD's in (insert city and street) in the Summer of (insert year). They have records of my employment."

I can remember the general location and name of every place I worked with in College. The fact that no news organization has produced this information, and Kamala hasn't either, proves she's lying.

Why are people so gullible. Its like the chick who accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault. If you can't tell me what month, year, and place you got raped, it didn't happen!; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৩ PM
John henry বলেছেন...: Dixcus, not just barely american, definitely Jamaican citizen as well as US citizen.

She was born a Jamaican citizen through her father. Not Indian, though as their laws are different.

Do we really want a dual nationality president? Will she recuse herself from any negotiations treaties etc with Jamaica? If she does recuse herself from signing a treaty, who else has the power?

Definitely natural born American 14A citizen though. Born in Oakland IIRC.

John Henry; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৩ PM
mindnumbrobot বলেছেন...: No, he couldn't cite anything. I didn't press the issue, only tried to convince him that by his thinking he was voting against Trump rather than for Harris, which he agreed is poor reasoning.

I think I was able to convince him that he may be a little misguided. That's something anybody who knows an undecided voter should doing IMHO.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৩ PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U বলেছেন...: "without evidence" = A leftwing term.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৪ PM
rhhardin বলেছেন...: Vance is exceptionally tedious.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৫ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: "I call bs on her working at McDonalds, but I would note that roughly 80% of McDonalds restaurants worldwide (and 90% in the USA) are franchises, and the McDonalds Corporation would be very unlikely to have records of individual employees that the franchisees hired."

Has Kamala disclosed what specific McDonald's location she worked at? Surely, she must remember that.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৬ PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U বলেছেন...: Protected Kamala Puppet doesn't need to prove it's true - nor do THE loyalist Democrat Party State Run Soviet Press.
YOU must prove it's not true. Even after you do - The Soviet Press will still call you a liar ----->
Because "without evidence."; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৬ PM
RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...: As stated above, the SSA has records of everywhere you worked, since your employer and you paid the payroll tax. Further, just because a McD's is a franchise, doesn't mean the McD's doesn't have the name of the employee. Just the opposite.

Again, has Kamala even said what city/year she worked?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৬ PM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: The McDonalds test. That’s one the Soros Election Rigging Gang never expected. And that new guy Vance gives another perfect reaction performance..

It’s not fair Trump-Vance are real Americans born and raised in the American briar patch. What can a Montreal Canada raised Hindu do to keep up?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৮ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: ""without evidence" = A leftwing term."

It became a media staple sometime in the first Trump term, I believe.

It's a lazy way of calling him a liar. Instead of actually trying to discover the facts, they just call him a liar and call it a day.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৮ PM
John henry বলেছেন...: I see people on X and Journa.host trying to scare folks with JD. The plan, they say, is for the 2 to get elected then President Trump will resign and JD will take over.

They think this is a point against voting for them.

I say it is a point for. Though I hope if true President Trump at least waits 2 years and a day so JD can serve 10 years.

John Henry; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:২৮ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: Having JD Vance as VP would give me so much comfort.
Walz scares the hell out of me.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৩০ PM
Kate বলেছেন...: What's the difference between a sorority and a circus? One is an array of cunning stunts.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৩১ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: "I believe she has identified a McDonalds in Alameda as where she worked."

Okay- I posted my previous comment before seeing this. So- now that the location has been identified, the press has surely investigated Kamala's claim to insure they're not spreading misinformation by continuing to report that Kamala did work there, right?; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৩২ PM
Krumhorn বলেছেন...: I especially liked his response at the end about internal polling when he said that regardless of any positive polling which he chooses to disbelieve, we have got to swamp the vote....which is polite-speak for we need a cheat-proof margin.

- Krumhorn; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৩৪ PM
Kate বলেছেন...: I've seen somewhere it was Alameda when she was in college. No journalist is going to check that, though. They'd be kicked out of the cool club.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৩৬ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: "I see people on X and Journa.host trying to scare folks with JD."

This has to surprise the shit out of the NeverTrumpers. Their whole reason for being is that "Trump is divisive, if only we could get rid of him..."; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৩৭ PM
Mike (MJB Wolf) বলেছেন...: Good advice.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৪৫ PM
JAORE বলেছেন...: Remember when Hunter Biden's laptop was pronounced fake. Even though Hunter could easily have, but never definitively, said, "Not mine. Nope, nope, nope". On many subjects the silence of the left, secure in the knowledge they won't get challenged is deafening.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৪৭ PM
Lazarus বলেছেন...: What in politics isn't a stunt? A candidate goes to WaWa's -- stunt. Beer summit -- stunt. And so on, and so forth.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৪৭ PM
Quaestor বলেছেন...: এই মন্তব্যটি লেখক দ্বারা সরানো হয়েছে।; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৪৭ PM
Quaestor বলেছেন...: Carol writes, "I thought the employees worked for the franchisee."

Yes, but the franchise agreement has many clauses relating to employment practises. Without the contract in force at the time Harris claimed to have worked for a McDonald's store before the eyes of an astute attorney, the question of whether the absence of employment records regarding Harris is BS cannot be resolved. Let her produce the records, or else we can assume it's her bullshit, the Kamala Corn Pop Kerfuffle.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৪৯ PM
Butkus51 বলেছেন...: Havent we all met a Tim Walz? Or a Kommie Harris for that matter. Walz plays a character. And everyone knows that isn't the real guy. But some think it is.

Kommie. Typical Govt worker. Ok, 80% of them. I have met good one(s).; ২১/১০/২৪, ১২:৪৯ PM
Hassayamper বলেছেন...: Kommie. Typical Govt worker. Ok, 80% of them. I have met good one(s).

96 percent is more like it. I've got respect for a few cops and firemen and forest rangers that I know, and that's about it. The one FBI agent I know is a flaming pile of communist dogshit.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:০০ PM
Balfegor বলেছেন...: Re: Carol

That's what I thought too -- I don't know why the corporation would want to have the responsibility of tracking all the employees of the different franchisees. That said, if there's some kind of pooled benefits thing going on they might have had records at one point. Frankly, though, even if they did, why would they retain them for 40 years?

I'm pretty sure she was just lying to try and relate to voters, but I don't think we've seen definitive proof. She's the one making the claim, though, so the onus is on her to provide evidence, not Trump, and it's fair for him (and us) to draw reasonable inferences from her failure to do so.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:০৬ PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U বলেছেন...: Since you love women - you should vote Kamala. She's your gal!; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:০৬ PM
Ralph L বলেছেন...: I'm sure a local McDonald's would not keep employment records for 40 years. The small business I worked for dumped most everything after 10, but I don't know about their accountant and bank.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:১২ PM
hombre বলেছেন...: It's not that my comments are necessarily stellar, but the crummy new comment format erases them regularly. 😡; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:১৬ PM
Jersey Fled বলেছেন...: Vance in 2008.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:২১ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: "French fry stunt"?

You mean like this?

It was, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Harris' largest crowd yet.

However, this was just a little while after King acknowledged that Harris had turned out the crowd, in part, by promising them a free concert in return.

"Megan Thee Stallion has taken the stage at the Harris rally, performing her biggest hits, 'Hot Girl' and 'Mamushi,' with her and her background dancers clad in blue suits," King noted.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:২৪ PM
donald বলেছেন...: So you know Alan Bringuel also!; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:৩৭ PM
J Scott বলেছেন...: Seems a simple matter to find someone that worked with her at the time. Or just pay someone to say so. 40 years was a long time ago. Memories are squishy.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:৪১ PM
Yancey Ward বলেছেন...: This incident is hilarious. Trump kicked leftist ass yesterday and they are truly butt-hurt.; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:৪৬ PM
Wince বলেছেন...: The media and Harris campaign are being obtuse about Kamala's work history.

"Records, W-2s...How can you be so obtuse... Is it deliberate?"; ২১/১০/২৪, ১:৪৯ PM
victoria বলেছেন...: Lies, lies, lies, and Vance looks like an inarticulate bobblehead.; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:০৪ PM
victoria বলেছেন...: Don't you all wish. He looked like a befuddled old man, trying to make a point and not doing a very good job of it.; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:১৪ PM
AZ Bob বলেছেন...: I have fond memories of easier days when a candidate went to an ice cream parlor and fielded probing questions: "What flavor are you having?"; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:২২ PM
Drago বলেছেন...: LOL

If that were the case, and its clearly not, you New Soviet Democraticals would be amplifying the event while laughing about it. Instead you New Soviet Democraticals are completely losing your minds over it, offering up psychotically anger-filled spittle-flecked hot takes about it while demanding no one watch it!

Your psycho actions in the wake of this event tells the real story....as it always does.; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:৩৪ PM
Bushman of the Kohlrabi বলেছেন...: Wish we could keep Vance and dump the other three; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:৩৭ PM
RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...: Hello, can people read the comments? SSA has a record of where you worked. For your entire life! And McDonalds knows who works at their franchises. Even in the 80s this data would've been provided.

But bottom line - Social security has the information.; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:৩৯ PM
tim maguire বলেছেন...: Thanks. I was reacting to the headline. I couldn't watch the video because, as often happens, it doesn't play outside the US.; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:৪১ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: It was Kamala who (without evidence) said she had worked at McDonalds. Trump’s stunt was a response, and a very good one.

What did it prove? Trump’s relatability is off the charts and when compared to Kamala’s relatability, Trump’s is like that Musk rocket that not only can take off without a hitch , it can land itself back down upright, defying every hitherto natural law of physics, ready to blast off again at a moments notice. Kamala can’t even show up a catholic dinner, a charity thing about forgiveness, reconciliation and second chances. Trump’s ad says Kamala is for they them, while he, Trump, is for you.; ২১/১০/২৪, ২:৫২ PM
Jon Ericson বলেছেন...: "She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard"; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:০০ PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne aka Doug Emhoff's Pimp Hand বলেছেন...: I doubt you could find any records of me working at various places back in the 1980's, most of them have either gone out of business or been bought by another company. However, I could tell you where they were generally located, remember most of my co-worker's first names and in a couple of cases I could remember last names. I could also describe describe the basics of my job and probably pull out a couple of anecdotes about working there. Harris has done none of this. No details at all. So she's either lying or hiding something, like maybe getting fired.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:০৩ PM
Drago বলেছেন...: You only have Vance because of one of the other three. Vance might very well have never won his Senate race withoit the endorsement of that one.

But now you can safely show your face at neighborhood parties and other public gatherings since you have checked the Dont Like The Terrible Orange Man box.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:০৬ PM
Gravel বলেছেন...: Her campaign has claimed that it was a McD in Alameda, during the summer when she was at Howard U.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:০৮ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: Yeah, those pussy hats are real scary.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:০৯ PM
RideSpaceMountain বলেছেন...: Fired from a fry-cook job. That would be pretty embarrassing, but after all we're talking about someone who went down on Willie Brown.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:১৩ PM
Bushman of the Kohlrabi বলেছেন...: Settle down Drago. Early voting starts tomorrow in my fair hamlet and I will be there with bells on to cast my one and only vote for Orange Man Bad..

But a guy can dream, can’t he?; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:২৩ PM
MadisonMan বলেছেন...: I'm impressed how Vance stays on message all the time.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:২৬ PM
Drago বলেছেন...: "Settle down"? Like, recline? Swing in a hammock? Grab some herbal tea? Catch a few rays and some vitamin D before fall slides into winter? Quietly ponder the implications of Deion and the Colorado Buffaloss potentially becoming bowl eligible?; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:৩৫ PM
Narayanan বলেছেন...: I like D strategy of making even McD burger pricey!
at McD you will be asked do you want Trump with that?; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:৪৫ PM
Greg The Class Traitor বলেছেন...: Harris claims she worked at a McDonalds in Alameda CA, while going to college.
The first public mention of this claim is in 2019.
She first ran for office in 2003.
She Didn't mention it on a 1987 job application form that required her to list ALL previous employment

She's lying; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:৪৬ PM
Bushman of the Kohlrabi বলেছেন...: Big believer in vitamin D. Not totally sold on coach Prime.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:৫৬ PM
Narayanan বলেছেন...: there may even be treaty allowing to collect canadian benefits when they move/immigrate to USA as with many european?
A social security agreement can help you qualify for benefits by allowing you to combine your periods of contribution or periods of residency in Canada with your periods of contribution or periods of residency in the other country to meet the minimum eligibility criteria. It can also reduce or eliminate restrictions based on citizenship or on payment of pensions abroad.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৩:৫৭ PM
Narayanan বলেছেন...: .. Hindu practising Kama[la]sutra; ২১/১০/২৪, ৪:০৫ PM
Original Mike বলেছেন...: Vance has already reached "worse than the last guy" status? Wow, that's got to be some kind of record.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৪:১১ PM
rehajm বলেছেন...: That Ralphie can get out of hand sometimes…; ২১/১০/২৪, ৪:২২ PM
Skeptical Voter বলেছেন...: That was no attempt at trolling. It was a direct hit. Trump is a salesman at core--with all the bluster and bloviation. But if he were a used car salesman, he'd move more tin than any other used car salesman in LA County.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৪:২৯ PM
Yancey Ward বলেছেন...: Poor Vicky- it must really, really suck to be you right now.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৪:৫৬ PM
Jim at বলেছেন...: Lies, lies, lies,

Then name one. Just one.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৪:৫৯ PM
Leland বলেছেন...: "I would advise all Americans ... DO NOT BRING YOUR CELL PHONE to Washington DC this time. "

If that is something you think you'd want to do, then the thing would be to bring your cellphone but leave it in your hotel room or where-ever else you might be staying in DC. You are likely to have travel records, as John Henry notes, that would put you in DC. What you would want to say is "Yeah, I was in DC, but I spent the time in my hotel. Why would I want to venture out into that mess?"; ২১/১০/২৪, ৫:১৯ PM
Leland বলেছেন...: Alternatively John Henry, President Trump could work just shy of 2 years, then retain perhaps retain the possibility to run again. Just the thought of another Trump election cycle would cause so much trauma within the TDS community.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৫:২২ PM
Biff বলেছেন...: I watched/listened to the whole video. Vance was not exactly electrifying, but he was poised, articulate, disciplined, and prepared. I'm old enough to remember when that was considered table stakes for national office. Very refreshing.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৫:৫৩ PM
wsw বলেছেন...: Nevermind Vance being asked about it; that McD's appearance is what a home run looks like. It's light, relatable. Meanwhile, she's out there moping with Liz "historic margin of incumbent defeat" Cheney.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৬:১৮ PM
I Shouldn’t Have Left the White House বলেছেন...: When you are talking about doing campaign events, it’s really not about owning the libs on Twitter, it’s about local media coverage in swing states.

Trump evasive about raising Pa. minimum wage while pretending to
work at McDonald's in Bucks County ~ Philadelphia Inquirer https://x.com/PhillyInquirer/status/1848426607251206587

boatbuilder বলেছেন...: He is impressive. It must drive the media bots nuts that after Trump does the weave and says stuff that everybody knows what he's saying, but they can take it and pretend that it means Trump is demented or Hitler or Demented Hitler, that JD is able to articulate precisely what Trump is addressing and why the media are lying about it.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৬:৪৯ PM

Hassayamper বলেছেন...: Those who have reasons to anonymously enter and then speedily depart specific highly-surveilled areas would do well to buy a nondescript but capable black E-bike for cash at a yard sale. The better models REALLY haul ass, and can quickly make you scarce even in congested areas, while keeping your identity well hidden. Strip it of all identifying decals and serial numbers, and dress in similarly nondescript black clothes from Goodwill. Don't forget to wear generic sunglasses, a beanie covering your hair, and a bandanna over your face. Wipe it down for fingerprints, in case you need to abandon it suddenly, and wear gloves. Carry any needed implements in a thrift-shop book-bag or messenger bag with no distinctive features. Leave your phone and smart watch at home. Don't use Google to plan your itinerary. Get a paper road atlas. Give a lot of thought to identifying remote, unmonitored, secluded areas where you might park a pickup truck and throw the bike in the back unseen.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৬:৫৪ PM

Josephbleau বলেছেন...: "When you are talking about doing campaign events, it’s really not about owning the libs on Twitter, it’s about local media coverage in swing states."

But it’s not about local media coverage in swing states. It's about personal contact in swing states. All locals know how the local media swings.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৬:৫৬ PM
Mason G বলেছেন...: "Raising minimum wage" is the same thing as "Eliminating jobs of those on the bottom rung of the income ladder". Not that most of those people affected understand that, which is the fault of the people (mostly progs) who are teaching them (or, more accurately, not teaching them) in the schools and colleges.

“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.” - Thomas Sowell; ২১/১০/২৪, ৬:৫৭ PM

Drago বলেছেন...: LLR-democratical and Abacus Boy Rich: "When you are talking about doing campaign events, it’s really not about owning the libs on Twitter, it’s about local media coverage in swing states."

LOL

Uh, no. The local news stations that are on the left have suffered the very same loss of public trust as the national legacy news liars. As they should.

Nice try though Abacus Boy.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৭:৪০ PM

"I believe she has identified a McDonalds in Alameda as where she worked.”

Or she just identifies as someone who worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda.; ২১/১০/২৪, ৭:৫৬ PM

Cameron বলেছেন...: Actually the Harris Campaign has specified the actual store at which it occurred and the time period. I can't recall which though. Regardless its a fact that hasn't made it into any book or public discussion up to now. Also she failed to declare it on a legal questionaire in one of her prosecutor jobs that required disclosure of every employer in the prior 10 years that would have covered it.; ২২/১০/২৪, ১:০০ AM
gadfly বলেছেন...: The franchise in Feasterville was closed for normal business during Sunday’s photo op. The customers who went through the drive thru were pre-selected by the franchise and the local Trump campaign team, according to a person familiar with the event. The cars were also screened and searched, and the people in them were wanded down, according to the source.

Trump played his part in this staged campaign event. Those characterizing this as “work,” however, have been overly generous: There’s an important difference between work and theatrics, and this was definitely the latter. But the cult believes!; ২২/১০/২৪, ১:১৭ AM
Ralph L বলেছেন...: Did you see the yuge crowd on the street? Of course they had to close it--it would have been mobbed otherwise.; ২২/১০/২৪, ৬:১৮ AM
Aggie বলেছেন...: I'm shocked. Shocked ! To discover that normal security procedures were observed to control people in close proximity to a Presidential Candidate, one that has been targeted twice in assassination attempts, and wounded in one of them. Shocked ! I tell you !

Ampersand বলেছেন...: These Armageddon scenarios conjured by dixcus and a few others are embarrassing. Though I doubt that there are Ray Epps style provocateurs posting here , posters should give thought to the proposition that their posts are exactly what Ray Epps would do, and Nancy Pelosi would welcome.; ২২/১০/২৪, ১০:৫০ PM
