she clearly has a massive fan base, and she uses her fame for good

You have to be 18 or older to be able to vote in the US.

Well its official.

Taylor Swift is endorsing Kamala so I guess I'm voting Trump.

Wow, Taylor Swift has endorsed Harris! This changes everything.

A confident campaign doesn’t announce its Taylor Swift endorsement at 11pm after the debate.

Harris wouldn't offer to debate Trump again if she thought she won.

This was Kamala’s litmus test.

Took her 7 weeks to prepare for this one, while she hid from the public (other than orchestrated and scripted events).

Another debate, sure. But I wanna see her in a press briefing, unscripted, where her TRUE COLORS can fly.

ABC clearly putting their thumbs on the scale again.

They asked about J6 which was 4 years ago

They didn't ask about J13 which was less than 2 months ago

A moral outrage

ABC News' David Muir and Linsey Davis were so bad that they made CNN look objective and fair.

rigged election, rigged debate

ABC News is race baiting! They’re asking President Donald Trump more controversial questions to put him on the spot. Deplorable

Harris is destroying him. All he has are his old, tired hits. No plan and nothing new.

David Muir blasts Trump for 5 mins straight then turns to Kamala and asks her if Trump is a terrible person

They still think they can deceive the American people with this nonsense, they think so little of American voters.

And Kamala has her talking points totally memorized, and delivers them perfectly when Muir is giving her the clue. No discombobled rambling, no cackling.... kudos to her debate training team.

Kamala uses a LOT of words to say absolutely nothing.

We had world peace under President Trump.

We're at the brink of World War III under Kamala.

Full stop.

“In Springfield, they [migrants] are eating the dogs” — Donald Trump 

Kudos to ABC’s David Muir for setting the record straight by clarifying that this claim is untrue.

Good. We're not here to listen to lies and rambling.

David Muir is criticizing and attacking Trump more than Kamala is.

Kamala can relax because the ABC "moderators" are handling the debate for her.

Posted in: Harris and Trump detail their starkly different visions in tense, high-stakes debate See in context

Harris has friendly moderators and still can't put together anything coherent.

Kamala Harris has never been this well spoken in her life

She's never understood camera angles this well either

You're telling me none of these questions made their way to her campaign this last week?

-10 ( +9 / -19 )

Posted in: Harris and Trump detail their starkly different visions in tense, high-stakes debate See in context

The moderators are letting the democrat get away with murder in this debate.

She’s repeating every debunked left-wing talking point from the last decade.

But moderators always make sure to make bogus “corrections” for Trump after he makes a point.

The fake news is the enemy.

Posted in: Harris and Trump prep for Philadelphia debate See in context

I understand how you can get alienated from the Western state of affairs while living in Japan.

But I wouldn't have the guts to cast my vote to make people suffer and struggle back home, my own family. Imagine someone actually doing that.

Posted in: Harris and Trump prep for Philadelphia debate See in context

Whatever Harris promises to do... why isn't she doing it now?

"I will fix this!"

"I will make it better"

"I promise you I will take you out of this"

oh wait....

Good lord, things will be very tough for one side.

Good luck for both.

Last time it only took 1 debate, they're dropping like flies.

Posted in: Utsunomiya tram's rejuvenation achievements a model for other cities See in context

Utsunomiya is one of the most pleasant capitals around Tokyo area.

Wide sidewalks, polite drivers, a futuristic tram system, a city of half a million people, just the right size.

Sustainable happy cities like Utsunomiya should be shown everyday on j-tv, not the same boring Tokyo contents with the same people, same areas. I ❤ the real Japan.

Posted in: Japan wants its hardworking citizens to try a 4-day workweek See in context

Let the companies decide. If some do this and their employees like it, great, if not, fine. The market will sort things out.

Reality is, there are many things in life you just dont care when you are single or there is no one waiting for you at home. I can't imagine myself working 5 days/week, much less working on a Saturday and seeing all the happy families out there while my own wife and son are home.

If they want to tackle the fertility problem they should make this issue a #1 priority.

Posted in: Japan wants its hardworking citizens to try a 4-day workweek See in context

I've been on my Mon-Thu schedule for many years now, even before I become fully free from corporate Japan.

I have absolutely no idea how people manage to live their lives while being chained to a physical location Mon-Fri.

I don't mean the less free time to spend with your family, friends, doing your hobbies, etc. how do these people manage to go to the doctor, dentist, city hall, bank, pick up a friend at the airport, etc.

All I remember is that I had to schedule my dentist several weeks in advance and ask for a supervisor for a dayoff, which he asked me "the reason" before passing the same paper through multiple departments to collect all the required hanko so I could finally have my 24h free, madness.

1 dayoff during the week should be mandatory to all sei-shain positions. For part time, workers should be encoraged to take 2~3 dayoffs every week.

Posted in: Japan's cyclists to be punished for riding drunk, phone use from November See in context

If you think this, you obviously shouldn't be driving. The 20kph limit is to prevent the death of pedestrians when hit by cars and other vehicles on narrow roads.

Who said narrow roads?

Wide residential roads with sidewalks and everything, where every car, motorcycle etc. follow the traffic signs but you need to keep your foot hovering on the brake because there are so many of these "cyclists" who seemingly never got a drivers license in their entire life.

But the response here is as expected... very few foreigners actually drive in Japan anyway, foreigners in Tokyo can't live without their bicycles

Great! But I have a better idea.

Cops in Japan like to hide behind bushes and light poles, they could use their spare time to catch cyclists who speed through 止まれ signs without a clue about other cars, they're the main reason you have to do 20km/h or less in many residential areas in Tokyo, you never know when one of those kamikazes will pop up in full speed right in front of you.

600,000¥ for a lifetime of stress, depression, lack of freedom and agony!

The money is intended for people moving out of Tokyo, not the other way around

Japan’s population is dropping, but you probably wouldn’t guess it from walking around Tokyo. Japan’s capital feels as bustlingly crowded as ever as an increasing proportion of the country’s population concentrates there.

"Bustling crowded" with very young people coming from all over the country you'd say.

And who's to blame here? Probably J-tv for rubbing Tokyo to our faces 24h as if it was the only city in Japan.

47 capitals, whole new universes to explore and do whatever you want anytime, you can wake up in the morning and decide if you want to cycle, drive or take one of the futuristic trams to work as the whole city is so pleasant, clean, cool and the sidewalks are so spacious.

Central Tokyo streets are super crowded specially on weekends, but only with people in their 10s~30s. Super sad most foreigners have absolutely no idea of the pleasant, beautiful, polite, normal Japan as they come to the country without ever living outside of Kanto area.

Last week I was working somewhere just 3h from here, in a place where people give you a little bow simply for standing next to you to pack their groceries, the whole day is filled with these little polite interactions.

Impeached.

Arrested.

Convicted.

Shot. Still standing.

And they keep trying to rob the American people from their will. Keep trying.
