Oh snap!

The fact that you twist yourself into a pretzel with this perverse defense of Trump's bullying of a teenager says it all. Regardless of any of her "issues", as you call them, and regardless of what Time Magazine may or may not have done .... your pip didn't give a squeak about Trump hate-tweeting her from the biggest megaphone on the planet. This is your pattern. I have to ask (again because I've said this to you before) what is it like to support somebody that you're embarrassed to admit you support? Good enough to **** but not good enough to marry?

You are the one who brought up Trump, I was commenting on the Time cover.

Because some are knowledgeable enough to know the links between them.

Bullshit. You joined in an ongoing conversation about Trump's piggery against a 16 year old and you chose to turn it against Time Magazine. This is an election thread (first clue - Trump's running for reelection) and folks were discussing the candidate's behavior.

Go see your chiropractor you've twisted yourself into something unrecognizable.

I've heard of them and they are an important addition in the fight to protect democracy in America. Way to contribute Robin. I hope when you have the chance you will add that information to the canvasing thread. I'm sure a lot of people will want to be a voice in this fight and there are many posters on this site who are not aware about the various resources. We are already in talks on my end debating what states to enter and where we will be most needed. Our target list include Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and Pennsylvania.

I don't recall your posts pointing out Trump's "child abuse" towards her, including before this cover. Makes me "wonder" why that your opprobrium is so selective.

Seriously ... WTF?

Being chosen as "person of the year" is without question an honor. How can it be considered otherwise?

OMG, Boiler saying something not nice about Trump. Or did he?
I read that and, silly me, I thought you'd misunderstood Boiler. I should have known better. His responses show it was me that misunderstood. I'm off to stand in the corner.

I suppose I should have known better. Un-bleeping-believable.

Very true, even with the government itself at times, I see various options companies offer but they always list a bachelors degree as the minimum, government has various job postings for students working towards a bachelors degree that may lead to a permanent job after graduation, but for those of us who don't have the ability to get a bachelors degree these programs are useless, there is actually very few options for us less educated folks for training, its almost like the powers that be want to keep people down, I guess someone needs to to the low wage dead end jobs and if everyone had training those jobs would be hard to fill.

It is what it is, can't really change how things are evolving.

It's pretty much the same with disabled folks, the government rather disabled be it mental or physical to just collect a meager gov't disability payment rather than providing healthcare and supports folks need so they can be productive, lots of mentally ill are capable of working, the reason the unemployment rate for mentally ill is so high is few places will accommodate their needs, and limited supports people need.

There is little public support for these sorts of programs for less fortunate/disabled etc and so politicians ignore it, it's not of enough importance to enough people to make politicians listen.

After a little research I found the UK does have a number apprenticeship programs.
