It is true, election cycles are much shorter in other countries but that's just not the case in the US. There's a saying that there's no such thing as bad publicity. Trump has been in the news with his bat shit crazy rhetoric for years now. That's hard to defeat in just a few months. Especially when his base is so fanatical they will vote for him even if he killed someone.
Singapore? You ever been there? There's a saying, "Singapore is a fine city, you get fined for this, you get fined for that. "
They have a 6 day work week.
When I was there a guy made a mistake and left the back of the dump truck up and drove into a bridge causing some damage and traffic jam. They put his face on the cover of the newspaper with a title that said, "This man backed up traffic for hours!"
My mother had a friend there. Her camera was stolen so she went to the police. They kept her there for hours until she admitted she lost her camera, so it would look like there was less crime there.
Efficient? Maybe. But no thanks.
And didn't France just outlaw women wearing hijabs to the beach?
My dryer is on the right, but the direction the door swings makes it better that way. If it were on the left I would have trouble moving the wet clothes from the washer to the dryer without hitting the door all the time.
Couldn't read the article. Which AG hopeful was it?
I think most elections would have been as if a Kamala Harris ran against another Kamala Harris. In other words, two normal politicians so that the result wasn't perceived as much of a difference who one. Also, in the past if a politician said things like, "you won't have to vote again" or called the opponent names, he would have been shredded in the media and probably lost the election due to scandal. I mean a felon has never run for president before. Trump just somehow has different rules.
Yeah, they liked being in the middle of a poorly handled pandemic. It was great!!
My problem is that most movies I like were never universally panned, they were just sort of so so. Movies like Fandango. I really liked it but I think it got like a 5.5 on IMDB.
Like most, I totally disagree. However, it had such great potential.
I feel the same about Valerian. The imagery was pure eye candy and then I watched it, so looking forward to a great flick, and what I got was... Valerian.
Yeah, but we would get to say we had a female president.
This is absolutely brilliant.
I never said ANYTHING about the US in my post. I'm merely pointing out that Singapore may not be the best example to use as a counterpoint.
