US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

All of the lying and plagiarism ended his presidential aspirations then, and nearly ended his political career.

His comeback from complete humiliation to win the nomination 32 years later is kind of amazing actually.
It is. But maybe his 30+ years of public service has convinced people he is a better man now?

Still, I was really surprised to see the Democrats pick him as their candidate, as he clearly has flaws.

And yet, despite all this, he still comes out as the morally superior, more decent candidate in this race.

Really tells you something about Donald Trump, doesn’t it? :lol:



I mean, Biden may have lied about being in the top half of his class, but so did Trump, even claiming to be #1...
Did Donald Trump finish first in his class at Wharton, as he bragged to multiple journalists over the years?
This assertion appeared in a fawning New York Times profile of the Trump Organization published in 1973, the same year the Department of Justice sued Donald and his father Fred for housing discrimination for refusing to rent to people of color. Sample paragraph:

Donald, who was graduated first in his class from the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, joined his father about five years ago. He has what his father calls “drive.” … “Donald is the smartest person I know,” he remarked admiringly.

The claim was repeated in another doting profile of Trump in the New York Times in 1976. Noting that practically every article ever written about Trump in the wake of the Times profiles parroted the “first in his class” claim, the Times finally corrected the record in yet another eye-roll-inducing profile published in 1984
The program for the commencement ceremony lists the names of students who graduated from Wharton with honors — cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude — and Donald Trump isn’t among them. Nor is his name included on the Dean’s List published in 1968 by the Daily Pennsylvanian. Given that colleges and universities are prohibited by law from releasing transcripts to anyone other than the student in question, and that Trump has purportedly forbidden the school to do so, we’ll have to rely on proof by omission that Trump didn’t graduate with any academic distinction whatsoever.

And at least noone has suggested Biden didn’t take his own entrance exam...

Yup. It's depressing.

Neither candidate would be my first choice for the most powerful office in the world. :(

"I never understood wind.
You know, I know
windmills very much.
I have studied it
better than anybody
else. It’s very expensive.
They are made in China
and Germany mostly.
—Very few made here, almost none,
but they are manufactured, tremendous
—if you are into this—
tremendous fumes. Gases are
spewing into the atmosphere. You know
we have a world
right?
So the world
is tiny
compared to the universe.
So tremendous, tremendous
amount of fumes and everything.
You talk about
the carbon footprint
— fumes are spewing into the air.
Right? Spewing.
Whether it’s in China,
Germany, it’s going into the air.
It’s our air
their air
everything — right?
A windmill will kill many bald eagles.
After a certain number
they make you turn the windmill off.
That is true.
—By the way
they make you turn it off.
And yet, if you killed one
they put you in jail.
That is OK.
You want to see a bird graveyard?
You just go.
Take a look.
A bird graveyard.
Go under a windmill someday,
you’ll see
more birds
than you’ve ever seen
in your life."

Joe Biden may not be much more than a meat puppet for defense contractors and global corporate interests but he has survived in the most dangerous swamp known to man for a half century. A fetid, brackish, gaseous pool full of poisonous reptiles that devours ordinary men, yet Biden has thrived and emerged king of the swamp and by now must be practically indestructible. Should he win the election, I think we can at least rest assured he'll find the atmosphere in the White House agreeable.

OOPS :lol:

Obviously registered Democrat Jim Cramer calls Pelosi "Crazy Nancy" off-air so often its become a habit!

He adopted the nickname the Prez gave her and I'll bet Trumpy-poo is loving this...
