Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Donald is desperate to talk about Big Macs and Arnold's Palmer.

Hmm… does he have a food handlers card?

Finally a job he is qualified for.

Rage and reaction .... it's the only thing he's got going for him at this point

Just keep shit posting to the world and keep everyone talking about him in whatever context or situation ... it doesn't matter as long as we're talking about him.

And we are .... the campaign is working ... expect more shitposting, stupidity and insanity in the weeks to come.

Turnip may be dumb ... but we're all equally stupid for putting up with him and watching this dumpster fire and endlessly talking about it.

And yes ... I am guilty of it all too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

You're right. Also, we have to pay attention to him because he's hit a critical mass of people willing to burn it all down on his say-so. Catch 22.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Yeah this just reeks of desperation

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I think that scent is his adult diapers, actually.

Par for the course for Fuckface 45.

Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.

I don't often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?

I dont think the IT firm i'm applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school....

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

I've had around 15 jobs since i was in high school, across multiple states with moves, some of them pretty brief when i found better opportunities, several in fast food, retail, and factory labor. I do not list any of them on my resume as a data engineer.

Nobody cares or wants to see your entire work history as a student. They want to see your professional work experience that is relevant to your desired roles. Hell I have even made multiple versions of my resume with different jobs listed or delisted depending on the field I was applying for.

But on none of them do i put that in worked at Burger King at 16 years old for 4 months, nor the better paying job I got at a Steak n Shake as a server where I worked until I left for college. I don't list my shitty campus dining court dishwasher job, or my Sam's Club Cafe job I had at College either. Now I have listed my programmer internship from this time though, even though I don't list the seasonal Gamestop job and the chicken processing jobs i had afterwards, because programming is relevant... chicken cutting is not. Just because there are gaps doesn't mean I wasn't working. I was far too broke not to.

It common practice to curate your resume to the job you're applying for, you can smell the bullshit drifting off this one

You absolutely want to drop irrelevant jobs from your resume. You're spot on.

Trump's just mad because she's actually worked real jobs before, and he hasn't.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

It is common to omit short-term or less relevant experience from a résumé and to prioritize including jobs that are longer-term or more field specific to what you are applying for. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If McDonald’s corporate was not directly involved with this stunt, perhaps they’ll clarify if Harris did indeed work for them in order to lessen the negative perception of Trump using their franchise.

I'm just going to go ahead and avoid McDonald's now

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I used to avoid McDonald's, I still do.

Did McDonald’s corporate agree to this political stunt? Or was it just one specific location that agreed for him to come in?

[–] [email protected] 96 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

One specific franchise location and they were closed to customers during the visit with the staged customers all vetted by USSS and having gone through a rehearsal ahead of time to practice what they were going to do.

Someone else I just read compared this to a make-a-wish® activity.
