  • Yes you are right, just some language confusions there.
    In Danish to be called Chicken is “Kylling”, Which is the non adult bird, and the species is called Høne which sounds like Hen, but in English is the female bird.
    Also in Danish when you eat Chicken it is Kylling, which is definitely not the adult bird, where the meat is dry and tough.
    So when in English the meat you eat is called chicken, it either sucks or is in reality Pullet.
    So why the word pullet isn’t more common, or something else describing the non adult female chicken IDK. When in 90% of cases that seems to be what is understood by “Chicken”.

    But I’m pretty sure when people are called chicken, it is not supposed to mean the male cock.




  • Oh she did that for me practically on day one of announcing her candidacy.
    She is obviously intelligent and has very good political ideas.

    But something hit me recently, with George Bush it was said he was the kind of person people would like to have a beer with. Which was allegedly a big reason he won.
    But I certainly see that with Kamala Harris much more. Kamala Harris seems like such a genuinely nice person, who can also have a bit of fun.
    So Kamala if you find yourself in the neighborhood, feel free to pop in, my treat. 😀 🍺




  • Yes there were a couple of situations where she could have made him look like a huge idiot (more than normal), but she kind of dropped the ball IMO.
    It’s probably easier to see from the outside, she’d have to be razor sharp to catch these opportunities real time.
    Still she did well, and did catch him a few times, and made no serious mistakes.

    But border security, healthcare and the idiot thing about emigrants eating pets, were all obvious chances.
    We just have to hope enough voters know enough about the issues to see through Trumps lies and lack of policy.


  • That 8 years thing for healthcare could easily backfire. The majority of Americans are very fed up with our healthcare,

    Yes but Democrats and particularly Harris want to improve it further, it’s the Republicans that have refused to play ball for 16 years now.
    Harris did mention results on medicin prices, and ongoing work to improve that further. So isn’t it still a very obvious advantage for Democrats and their political goals that people are fed up with the lack of progress?

    My friends and I plan on using it at work from now on.

    🤣



  • As one who is 100% on the democratic side, I think Harris obviously won the debate.
    But I’m very curious about what Republicans think? Do they think Trump made a good response saying he didn’t need a plan because he isn’t president?
    I was a bit disappointed Harris didn’t attack him on the fact that it’s been more than 8 years now since Trump said he would come up with a better healthcare plan. Stressing the 8 years, and the result being still nothing. So a concept of a plan for Trump seems to mean he has NOTHING!

    But still, do Republicans view this as Trump did OK?


  • Ahead of the first debate between presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, Richard Johnson explores whether the outcome will have any real impact

    Well that’s impossible to say until AFTER the debate.

    Seems to me that the 2nd debate between Romney and Obama tilted the election in Obama’s favor. Because Romney fucked up, and Obama clearly won the debate for anyone to see.
    So these debates can have an impact, but rarely as much as that.

    In 2016 Trump was an even worse loser to Hillary than Romney was to Obama. Despite that Trump prevailed, simply by using childish behavior to deflect, calling a Hillary argument “Just words” when he had no response, and then accusing her of being nasty!!! Somehow that was enough for his supporters to consider that a “job well done”!!

    So even a brain dead loser like Trump can survive against superior arguments, simply by using childish “No You” arguments.
    It shall be interesting to see if Harris has a working strategy in a debate Trump almost for sure will drag down to kindergarten level.




  • Considering they already openly support Putin, is it really that far to sympathize with Hitler and Nazism too?
    I mean isn’t the Nazism part pretty obvious by now.
    I just wonder how it happened that USA fell so deep that it became alright among half the population to be a Nazi and a traitor?
    Although FOX news has been extreme for years, I’m still a bit surprised they’ve became THAT extreme! And so far removed from traditional American values of democracy.
