    I think we're up to example #10 on how I hit the bullseye.

    You're probably just mad you had to look up the definition of "penchant".

    I am the anachronistic left as seen from fdr onward until the changes of the 90s involving clinton and the DLC that destroyed common sense liberalism that had a moral center as it opposed the control of corporationd and big banking along with the rich elites that own them.

    Since the DP changed in the 90s economically and became one with the neoliberal GOP there still neede to be a difference between the 2 parties since both sold out the middle and both were now neocons. And so the dems had to move radically to the post modern left to the point of being bat **** crazy so there would be some difference between the 2 parties.

    And the elites both serve today dont care about social issues as their concern is to capture most of the income which both parties allowed them to do.

    This has been obvious for decades .Social issues are emotion driven and they keep Americans occupied so they dont notice that economically only the elites get served by both parties who rely upon their wealth to finance expensive campaigns.

    Good looks for both of them, but Melania is the real model and it shows. No surprise there.

    I sense a little jealousy in your post.
    It seems as though you are oozing hate.

    Do you need a hug?

    Of course a righty found hostility where none existed...it's what they do :)

    Totally agree with you. I'm assuming their outraged because it's sexist but here's my thing save the outrage for real problems. 70% of the homeless are men, Male suicide dwarfs women, incarceration rate for men is exponentially higher.... I know continue on about an exercise bike though....


    speaking of recent ads check this one out and give some thoughts if you would

    True. Alas. It will all eventually bite the elites in the ass.
    Bloomberg may be the first to figure out how that works.

    "The technical term for the philosophy that guides business in its dealings with the state is corporatism - broadly, the management of a nation's markets and politics by companies, unions, other producer groups in their own interests, backed up where necessary by the power of government."

    Another reason why Macy's stock (M) pays a 10% dividend.

    They shouldn't charge so much for a bike. You can get a stationary bike for cheap, or cheaper than the 2200 dollar price tag. They are just offering the "app" or the online experience. Me? I do the elliptical with no screen, I prop my phone up and watch "Friends" on Netflix. I'm sure there are things I can find online if I want the scenic atmosphere

    You may be Left leaning, but you are no SJW Soy Boy.... that's what you are missing.

    Someone has to be a pretty miserable person to see this ad as problematic.

    That's why 70% of the homeless are men, Men commit suicide 3 times as much as women and that number rises to 9 times as much during divorce, Men are incarcerated more and longer than women who commit the same crimes and family courts overwhelmingly rule in women's favor......

    the patriarchy!!!!!

    it seemed to me, could be that I'm biased, that the ad was saying people tell girls and women they can't do something and the Christmas stuff was a secondary thing. So I'm not huge on using a Holiday to push social agendas nor does the ad make much sense from a marketing standpoint or just generally as an idea imo.

    Mainly the idea that any child let alone a girl child wants to BE santa based on my own personal experience (have a child/have been one once) is a made up thing.

    Santa is a unique person not a generic career path. I've heard kids say they want to be astronauts, firefighters, soldiers, lawyers etc but never "I wanna be Abe Lincoln" because you can be LIKE Abe Lincoln but not BE him.

    I didn't know this was pissing people off. What are their complaints? What do they not like about it?
