Is that when the housing bubble burst as a result of Clinton's stupid "everyone gets a house" bullshit?

I had a great year. My company had record profits and I got a pretty nice bonus.

The economy is more than your company.

My company could get their credit extended (costs doubled for half the size of the line), our owner tried to sell us, and despite having a record year, we found out we were going to get shut down. I stayed about 6 more months to help shut everything down and transition assets as everyone else left. All the interviews and recruiters I had 1H of 2018 disappeared.

62% of Americans are afraid to share their political views.

This is the factor that has to have Biden's team sweating at night.

I took it as more "not talking about politics with others" than "hiding my support from pollsters." But this... stat, I wonder if people really feel that way, and if they do, they are dumb.
50% of strong liberals support firing Trump donors, 36% of strong conservatives support firing Biden donors; 32% are worried about missing out on job opportunities because of their political opinions

President Donald Trump on Thursday moved to cancel the Jacksonville, Florida, portions of next month’s Republican National Convention, citing the threat of the coronavirus.

“I told my team it’s time to cancel the Jacksonville, Florida, component of the GOP convention,” Trump said at a White House briefing on the coronavirus. The state has become a hot spot for the virus.
Like 1 month after canceling the Charlotte one because our D Governor wouldn't commit to letting him have a full house.

Fuck you, Trump. /Malcolm

Both non-major party candidates are noted for being "tender" ?

Facebook is showing me political ads, so I'm just clicking them all. Hopefully they pay per click, not impression.

The more I click, the more I get.

It looks like you can enter a donation of $0.01 to Trump. Considering it. I know they pay $0.30 in CC fees.

I wonder if someone could setup a bot to make a bunch of donations and bankrupt the campaign? :D

I truly, truly do not understand how any sane, intelligent person can support either of these feeble minded sex offenders we have running for president.

Here's the actual quote
Well, we're going to have to do a convention, may have to do a virtual convention. I know -- I think we should be thinking about that right now. The idea of holding a convention is going to be necessary, but we may not be able to put 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 people in one place and that's very possible. Again, let's see where it is.

What we do between now and then is going to dictate a lot of that as well. But my point is that I think you just got to follow the science. Listen to the experts. Listen to the Faucis of the world. And if that's the case, it's the case.

But we cannot let this -- we’ve never allowed any crisis from a Civil War straight through to a pandemic in ‘17, all the way around, in ’16, we have never, never let our democracy take second fiddle, we can both have a democracy and elections and at the same time protect the public health.

But I think it's time we start thinking about how we're going to hold elections, whether we're going to have to spend a lot of time figuring whether we do -- is it going to mostly be by mail, which is not the preferred route for everyone -- how are we going to do that? How are we going to make it available to everybody?
