    Yes, worse. Biden's plans are expected to increase the debt by $5.6 Trillion and Debt as a % of GDP is expected to grow from 98% to 127%. We'll be borrowing more money than we produce for the first time in a long time, but nobody who voted for "worse" seems to be concerned about that factoid.

    I appreciate the clarification. I only had the article to go by and don't know much about her book.

    For me, whether or not she was in on the joke was the crucial element ( rather than my personal taste).

    We'll see. If you are right, I will agree with the issue. It won't change my opinion that we shouldn't have a clown be our representative on the world stage.

    I don't personally find it funny, either. I respect her right to have a different sense of playfulness and comedic taste.

    I've been sexually harassed, and I've been in on jokes that only make it seem so. I don't appreciate being told I don't respect women because I was being playful, silly and flirty, while making light of something that is a serious issue, but not as serious as some make it.

    If true, why do you think she felt compelled to include it in her book? I don't know her so I'm not trying to speak for her but the inclusion seems to point to her NOT thinking it was just friendly banter between two people that "have developed an excellent working relationship and come to respect each other".

    There are plenty of interviews Sarah has done since she left the White House, if you are interested. She speaks very highly and fondly of Trump.

    At least he managed to keep debt under GDP instead of spend more than we produce for the first time in decades, like Biden is about to do. Biden is likely to throw us into total economic collapse.


    The Trump economy was "unprecedented". He's a businessman, not a smarmy politician. He got results, even if he wasn't polished up like a used car salesman.

    yet he did - some say they may not be valid, but after he is no longer President, they very well may still be valid

    Sexual harassment is not dependent on whether the targeted person is offended or not. There could have been another female present, who was not target of the "joke", and she could have been offended. Therefore, such sexist "jokes" have no place in the professional work environment. In fact, I would be offended, if someone at my workplace would make such a "joke" and I probably would report it.

    It is, however, not surprising that the Don Drapers of today find this kind of behavior acceptable, or even funny.

    Agreed. It's like the comments some here have made about disbelieving a woman who said that she was sexually assaulted while in police custody. I couldn't believe the comments basically saying she was not attractive enough to want to assault in that manner. It's unbelievable to me that any adult still thinks that sexual harassment and/or sexual assault have anything to do with someone's physically appearance rather than an abuse of power.

    I did not see any comments like that.

    Why would someone write a glowing book about a wonderful man, and go on tour praising him, if she was harmed by his sexual harassment?

    You've merely given shallow content to hide from the question. Perhaps you can't answer it? Lets adapt it. Which alternative economic approach models the impact of power inequities on outcome?

    The point here is simple. You're using vocabulary, such as feminism, without actually knowing how the relevant analysis developed. Don't you think that create an insurmountable knowledge problem?

    I will try to find the thread about it.

    I cannot speak to anyone else's motives for why they do things. However, it doesn't follow that someone would include such information while simultaneously praising a person. It's possible as it seems in this case. It just seems double-sided.

    Further, I believe, by definition something is NOT harassment if the recipient is not harmed by it as any harm can only be qualified and quantified by the person experiencing it.

    That prediction assumes Biden will not find a way to pay for his proposals, and that alone makes the prediction bogus, null, and void.

    You have five pictures. Posting them on an hourly basis doesn't turn them into tons.

    Nobody thinks Biden is a pedophile. Because he's not. Get real.

    There are a few photos from years ago; nowhere near a ton. I think Biden kissing an 8 year old is not sexual. Having your daughter sit on your lap in short skirts is. Maybe you see it differently?

    Yep. My grandpa and grandma did it. My grandpa did a lot of work for the church. Volunteer. He always had his hands on little kids. Normal...for that time. Biden isn't quite as old as my mother, much less my grandpa, but he's from that era.

    Seriously. If Joe Biden were a pedophile, he wouldn't be president elect. Resist the conspiracies. They will rot your brain.

    You honestly don't know that this is a recent thing? For most of human history, we didn't assume that everyone is a child molester. What Joe does is what most humans have always done...who didn't have social anxiety issues. ;)
