Elections Trump picks JD Vance for VP

[DoctorTaco]

what about the media headlines between her and what Trump said ?

Media has bias. This is pretty well established

LOL at this MAGAt telling us dudes dressing in drag makes them more likeable now.

Without double standards MAGA wouldn't have any standards at all!

What double standards? Is your angle that goofing around and doing drag in college as a joke is at odds at being against encouraging kids to cut their dicks off and giving medals to men who beat up women in sport?

So far the prevailing argument that many have made in her favor are “she’s not Trump”.

The last 3 Democrat challengers have been "they're not Trump".

I am also seeing, she will not be 82 at the end of her term.

Media has bias, because the media people consume tell them the other teams media is biased.
It is kind of funny when you think about it. People who consume hours of media a day are usually the ones complaining about media bias, but never about the media they consume, its the other guys that are biased.
Media has figured out that if you rage bait your audience they will faithfully tune in.

I mean, essentially also “not trump” but being young is definitely in her favor

don't worry bro, I'm sure you'll get invited to a Halloween party one day.

What woman are you dressing up as this year? I'm sure you look forward to Halloween being as you can shop for skirts, stockings, makeup, and shoes without seeming TOO suspicious.

AppHarvest employees said they were forced to work in grueling conditions inside the company’s greenhouse, where temperatures often soared into the triple digits. Complaints filed with the US Department of Labor and a Kentucky regulator between 2020 and 2023 show that workers alleged they were given insufficient water breaks and weren’t provided adequate safety gear. Some workers said they suffered heat exhaustion or injuries, though state inspectors did not find violations.


Despite promising local jobs, the company eventually began contracting migrant workers from Mexico, Guatemala and other countries, numerous former employees told CNN.


While Vance stepped down from AppHarvest’s board and launched his political career in 2021, he remained an investor and supporter of the company. By the time he was sworn in to office last year, the company he’d hailed as a great opportunity was mired in lawsuits filed by shareholders angry over its plummeting stock price and allegations of fraud.

AppHarvest Was Touted As Appalachia’s Future. What Happened? - West Virginia Public Broadcasting

The start-up was built on the idea of using cutting-edge technology and local workers to produce vegetables on an industrial scale. And this was all set to happen in eastern Kentucky, where the company’s founder said this new version of agriculture could help replace the fading coal industry...

Gaffney: Based on my reporting, the biggest problem at AppHarvest seems to have was that it grew too big too fast. It went through 12 rounds of funding, raised over $800 million in seed and venture capital funding, along with loans from banks and national organizations like the USDA. That was before they built their first greenhouse. They also started planning on going public.


You mentioned private investment. They partnered with basically what is a blank-check company for the purpose of joining the stock market. So on top of lenders, they also now have stockholders to contend with, to pay back all this money on sort of a low value product, which was tomatoes, lettuce and berries. By the summer of 2021, before they’re open even a year, AppHarvest leadership admitted on an investor call that the company was staring down a $32 million net loss. That same day, stocks dropped 29 percent and in the following months, the company was facing five different lawsuits alleging securities fraud.


Basically, stockholders were saying that leadership had lied about the productivity in the greenhouses and the success of the company. So through these suits at AppHarvest, leadership was repeatedly cited as blaming employee training, turnover and “a poor work ethic” as the root causes of the company’s failures to achieve profitability. Basically, rather than working out the kinks in its first year of operation, AppHarvest built five greenhouses while selling a low value product and blamed its failures in some ways on the laborers that kept the company going.

What do you expect people that don’t work in the industry to do?

My expectations of them are little to none. If they go to a seated full service restaurant i expect them to tip. Getting generic takeout one shouldnt be presented with a obscene looking tip jar or a POS system asking for a tip before full service is rendered.

Sorry, you mentioned about tipping for service and I thought you meant in accordance with the quality of service you are getting. That’s why I asked how low you go as well.
I’m a good tipper but the other day, on a work trip, I was meeting my work mates at the hotel bar for dinner. I stopped by on my way to drop my luggage off at my room and ordered a Guinness. I then went and dropped my luggage off and came back expecting a beer to be waiting but it was not there and it took another five minutes for it to arrive. I wanted to tip the guy negative dollars tbh

the repugs picked a fucking drag queen to run to be the mandarin molesters running mate. you just can't make this shit up. i'm not sure about this strategy of picking anita couch to run alongside that fraudy orange rapist, because they won't even win over a single tranny vote from this stunt.

I’ve been giving it some thought and I’ve concluded that JD dressing up as a woman is among one of the normal things he’s done. Look how much fun these guys have with it. Also what a great band and fun entertainment.
I don’t see the point of the left jabbing at him about this. They should just say how pretty he looks and be done with it.
