Whenever I see Republicans jumping to his defense like this, I just know he’s completely off base. It really shouldn't come as much of a surprise, though, especially when you consider how many people are basically on the payroll within those messy organizations.
I suppose we're all just sitting around waiting for the Democrats to give Joe a pat on the back, too. 🍿

It isn't just about avoiding cuts; if I'm being honest, I think we should actually increase the number of 😵

Joe, I really think you shouldn't let those right-wingers get under your skin or try to cater to them. I guess you haven't learned anything from the days when you had to deal with all that nonsense over by the Potomac?

Roughly speaking, it feels to me like his associates are trying to undermine him—slowly and underhandedly—using some kind of slippery tactic.
However, he made a point here that actually warrants serious thought:

". . . this is the first time in American history that a mayor has had to pay an inspectorate fine out of his own pocket . . ."

If I were speaking generally, and in my humble opinion, if things had always been handled this way everywhere, many things would be significantly different today.
Just imagine if this rule were applied to Washington, D.C.; think of how much revenue they could have generated over a twenty-year term!?!?
It's true that any rule can be bent depending on who it's being applied to, but if people actually followed the rules...
Anyway, I suppose I’m getting a bit carried away, but it brings to mind several other instances where citizens ended up footing the bill for things they weren't even aware had happened.

Regardless, I want to wish Mr. Ed Garvey success on the path he has chosen.

If things had worked that way from the start, guys like Puljak, Tomašević, and Šimunić would be considered the standard rather than the exception, and we probably wouldn't be sitting here debating these minor details.
As it stands, it feels like the rules only seem to apply to the opposition.

So, regardless of how many he moved, I respect the fact that he jumped into a job rather than sitting around waiting for some old timer to buy him a coffee.

I have people close to me who worked those kinds of jobs, so I think I understand the grind. And if anyone was trying to use this to discredit him, they probably ended up doing him a favor by accident.

mellowseal1 said:I’m not sure who he was trying to impress, but honestly, everyone who owned a Kirby back then raved about them.
I couldn't swing it myself at the time (I just had the demo unit sitting in my living room!), and while I could afford one now, I'd much rather spend that cash on a trip to somewhere tropical...☕

I really have to hand it to Joe if he actually pulled that off back in the nineties—selling a vacuum for two thousand bucks! I still remember being absolutely floored when I heard the price tag...

👍

If I recall correctly, the base price was maybe around $800, and you had to pay extra for all the add-ons. That’s just how I remember it, so I might be slightly off.
As far as Joe goes as a salesman, I don't think there's any shame in it at all; if anything, it’s quite the opposite.
Then again, we don't really know for sure whether he was actually successful or not.

Edward Cooper2 said:Biden was selling Kirby vacuum cleaners???? Hahahaha! Back in the early nineties, some maniac gave a presentation at my parents' house. They couldn't even get him out of the house until midnight... and that vacuum costs about $1,100.

I wonder if they at least packed him up some leftovers from dinner?

I suppose it might be this

darkdrifter17 said:Joe Biden met with Canadian leader Viktor Orban👍. Both men seemed to be in remarkably good spirits.

Well, I suppose he can go ahead and ask his buddy why that drone was flying over Canada and heading straight toward us for forty-five minutes without anyone even blinking an eye.

Kenneth Perez15 said:It’s honestly fascinating how Biden managed to tank his own credibility over something this incredibly simple—and he did it with such ease. Then you’ve got the lunatics in Ukraine (not that he’d ever admit there are just as many lunatics in Russia) adding to the chaos on top of everything else.

It’s a nice gesture on his part—wanting to take the fight for Canadian Americans straight to the international stage.

Honestly, I can’t recall a single moment in his two-and-a-half-year term where he actually seemed agile—especially when it came to looking out for Americans here in the States. Every time he had a golden opportunity to really push back against the current administration—whether it was dealing with that botched census or the whole mess regarding earthquake relief in the affected regions (which, let's be real, hasn't even been actual reconstruction)—he just sat on his hands. He didn't exactly break a sweat.

We should also probably factor in his take on restructuring:
He mentioned that counties, acting as a bridge for a nation of just 4 million people, make more sense than regions, and he argued that redrawing the map of the United States into regions would basically lead to disintegration.

I guess the only people who probably agree with him are those experts over at the Republican Party, since counties essentially serve as their own private playground.

wearyeagle10 said:Let’s not forget about the Bridge party—just a bunch of massive hypocrites and tiny little clerical bureaucrats who helped that criminal outfit seize power twice, only to get kicked to the curb by them both twice over.

The Bridge party is nothing more than an enemy and a terrorist organization, plain and simple. Just like that criminal group.

They’re honestly just a total nightmare. Pure horror.

Just making sure we don't lose track of who is actually helping this absolute trash pile of a criminal gang stay in charge of this whole religious-run circus.

Just throwing that out there, so nobody forgets.

Signed.
And that’s why I suppose the whole idea of moving past ideological divides to unite against the Republican Party doesn't really hold much water. I mean, what else do you think caused Petrov, acting like such a little follower, to break away from the Republican Party?

northernbadger7 said:I read it.

So, in a single sentence, he just claims things were taken out of context—which is hilarious considering he’s being quoted specifically to claim they were taken out of context.
And that’s really all you’re latching onto? It’s perfectly natural for someone to try defending themselves, but since he's an idiot, he just fell back on that one predictable line that every fraud loves to use.

Your logic seems to be: "Well guys, he said it was taken out of context, and he would never lie. We should believe his word instead of the actual footage where he explicitly tells them to wire money to his account."

If you're just messing with me, my apologies, but I honestly can't tell.

See, there it is... just a bit of sarcasm, I suppose.

I was wondering if any of you three had a chance to read that article yet?

"Everything was taken completely out of context. I really don't have anything else to say, and I won't be commenting further," they told Radoš Index.

I suppose this was taken out of context.

Right now I'm just running a standard 2600. I was wondering if upgrading to this would actually be worth the investment?

Just had a quick question for you all.
I noticed there’s a phone listed for sale marked as 2800+, which apparently runs on a
frequency of 2133 MHz. I was wondering if this is actually the same type of processor used in the 2500 model?
If it turns out they are the same, I guess you might be able to overclock this one to an even higher clock speed?
