I’m still struggling to see what point he was trying to make.

It was for weirdos on the right that are so terminally online that they whipped themselves into a frenzy over Kamala working at McD’s. They want to see the long-form birth certificate of her pay slips from - checks notes - several fucking decades ago - at some service-level job or they’ll stamp their feet even more…

People talk about how weird that publicity stunt is instead of how he’s a gross, fat, perverted, dumb, criminal wannabe dictator

The right is losing it because Harris said she worked at a McD bad has shown no prove of it.

Possible she never has and it’s a lie to appeal to the working class voters. Or not. I honestly dgaf.

This right is behaving as if Trump never told a single lie in his long life. It’s Harris making a claim without backing it up has been THE THING all week now on most right wing forums I peek at.

The weird thing is that they’ll tolerate literally any lie from donnie and still vote for him.

Or, maybe not that weird. He’s a rich (allegedly), white, male, nominally xtian, Republican, bidnessman. No need to apply any kind of standards.

It’s worse than this. They’re saying because it wasn’t on her resume (curriculum vitae) 20 years later when she was going for another job, possibly a law job, that it means she was lying.

These dumb fucks don’t realise that CVs are for listing relevant work to the role you’re applying for. When I was applying to become a software developer I too didn’t list McD on my CV because that’s fucking dumb.

Weirdly enough, at 47, I no longer list the dish washing job I had at Ponderosa Steakhouse when I was 16 on my resume.

And I’m not even an attorney.

Not 20 years later, but at all. At least that I’d their claim and I haven’t seen it debunked do far.

I’ll reluctantly link a right wing article that at least tries to come across not overly sensational:

The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.

Harris lists three jobs on the application and five in total on an attached résumé, according to the documents, obtained through a public records request. Harris, who submitted the application as a second-year student at then-University of California, Hastings College of the Law, included granular life experience on her résumé—“extensive travel in India, Africa, [and] Europe” and “lived in Montreal, Canada for six years”—but not McDonald’s.

They’ve got photos of the resume and all.

Trump is exceptionally unequipped for this because the presidency is the only job Trump ever “applied” for in his life and when we fired him he organized a violent coup, including a gallows for Vice President Michael Pencil. He might really believe resumes contain all of someone’s job history, or he may be throwing ketchup at the wall again.

Exactly this. When I created my very first CV - at the guidance of people from uni - I listed NO experience rather than listing irrelevant jobs when going for my first work study type of jobs. The people that believe this about Harris are just showing how little they know of the professional world.

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.

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.

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.
