I remember going to an old persons home once and thinking to myself that there were no fat people there.

 

Not many fatties make it past 80.

 

I doubt Trump will be alive for another four years being that obese.

 

He probably should let someone else run.

I see a lot of foolish people here watching the totally biased CNN Communist News Network!  If you think Harris/Walz aren’t Socialist/Marxists you’re mistaken!

if you live in the U.S. the Democratic Party has virtually destroyed us with skyrocketing inflation, higher taxes and interest rates, not to mention an open border with illegals milking the government for free healthcare, housing, subsidies, etc!  Take a look at the past 4 years compared to the previous 4 years under Trump.  We had peace and a great economy, as opposed to funding foreign wars, losing a billions in Afghanistan, and needless deaths.  Only pathetically stupid people would say this administration is better.  Harris is a disaster and her record shows it since she was in California.  Walz stood by while Minnesota burned to the ground!  All his wife could talk about was the smell!  These people are sick and if allowed to control the country they will continue destroying it.  My vote goes with the “felon!”  The guy may not be politically correct but anyone who’s been persecuted, raided, falsely convicted, and almost assassinated, and still stays in this race tells me one thing:  He must love this country!  

 

You reveal an ignorant bias when you describe CNN as a  "communist news network". CNN is not a communist entity, and anyone with a basic understanding of what communism is, will know that.  CNN is a part of a publicly traded for profit organization. You didn't even watch the item did you, because if you had you would have been quoting its commentary that some voters believe that a Trump administration would better manage the economy.  Are you aware that Trump is a supporter of Putin and considers him a "friend"? It is the US Democrat party which is standing up to the Russians and the evils of communism.

 

In respect to your false claims on interest rates, inflation etc. Back it up with facts. It has been shown multiple times that the current US inflation rate of 2.89% is lower than the historical  inflation rate of 3.28%.  US Republican administrations ran up massive deficits because of indiscriminate tax reductions combined with a refusal to cut their preferred earmark spending programs. This means that a massive deficit now has to be serviced.

The US Fed interest rate is still well below the historical high. You ignore the fact that they reached  20% in 1980, 10.75% in 1984,  9.75% in 1989, 6.5% in 1991, 5.25% in 2007. Successive  governments have kept the Fed rate too low in part because it  facilitated debt service. Well, the Covid correction changed that. Even at 5.5%, the Fed rate isn't that high. It is only high because multiple vested interests keep chanting the mantra.  Consumers have been encouraged to borrow for far too long  and who benefits for when consumers are paying high interest rates for  over priced consumer goods?

 

You reference   VP Harris record in California. What exactly did she do so wrong?  The  economic results of California speak for themselves. If it wasn't for the tax revenues Californians deliver to the US federal government GOP backwater  states like Alabama a, Louisiana, Mississippi would fall apart. California is the largest economy in the USA and provides  much of the money for US government spending. What exactly are they doing so wrong?

 

You are all over the  place. Trump was convicted  by a NY jury of his peers, based upon overwhelming evidence of his fraud. What is false about it? He could not rebut the evidence and the  burden of proof was on the prosecution.   It was Trump who failed to convince a fair court that he did not sexually assault  Miss Carroll. Again the  evidence was sufficent to show liability for a wrongful act. Mr. Trump used these same courts to  sue people. Why is that the courts are not acceptable now, but were when he was harassing people and refusing to pay contractors?

He is not morbidly obese, and his cholesterol is managed by statins. He does not smoke and he does not drink alcohol. These are two important factors in maintaining health. If he was going to have  had a heart attack due to lifestyle it would have been in his  50's. The actuarial tables are in his favour.

Health is more than just staying alive to an old age...it  does not mean that your mind will still be as sharp...in fact it is highly likely to be in serious decline by late 70's...funny how the maga dis biden for his old age and the fact that his mind is slipping but give trump a pass ...listen to him ramble around in circles and try and imagine what he will be like in a few more years...he can barely string together a coherent sentence now and relies on his greatest hits of insults and lies he has been practicing for years.  Biden and trump as well as the old senators and supremes should all resign today.  Yet the only one who has stepped aside is Biden.

The percentage of people over 90 years old who are still alive and obese in the U.S. is estimated to be around 1% of the over 90s population.

Great post. You are going to learn however that whenever one makes the effort to put together posts with attribution and sound arguments backed up by fact, you're only going to receive the same response as when two trolls are going at it. It's unfortunate, but we don't really have an eloquent interlocutor on the Right who is willing to engage in substantive debate based on fact. A few have started down this road but almost immediately start losing the arguments and revert to insults, deflection and whataboutism. I would say Hanugama is probably the closest we're going to get, at least he can put together some coherent thoughts where two sentences are actually connected logically sometimes. Thaibeachlovers' specialty is misconstruing the posts meaning and replying with responses that are both about something completely different and incorrect in their facts. The remainder basically just troll.

There are several reasons why everyone is looking in confusion and laughing at these comments. Here's a few clues:

There are several issues with this comment:

1. Bias: The comment accuses CNN of being "totally biased" and "communist," which is a subjective and unsubstantiated claim. It also assumes that anyone who watches CNN is "foolish."
2. Labeling: The comment labels Harris and Walz as "socialist/Marxists" without providing any evidence or reasoning to support this claim.
3. Mis-attribution: The comment blames the Democratic Party for a wide range of problems, including inflation, higher taxes, and interest rates, without acknowledging the complex economic factors that contribute to these issues or considering the actions of the previous administration.
4. Hyperbole: The comment contains several exaggerated and hyperbolic statements, such as claiming that the Democratic Party has "virtually destroyed us" and that Harris is a "disaster" without providing any evidence to back up these claims.
5. Incendiary language: The comment uses inflammatory language, such as calling people "pathetically stupid" and "sick," which detracts from any legitimate points the author may be trying to make.
