  1. Not that short term needs shouldn't be met of course, but is anything being done to remedy the lack of electricity, running water, access to groceries, access to medical care, etc... ?

  2. Bush got us in. Obama and Trump kept us in. Biden, although it probably could've been handled much better, got us out.

  3. Did you even watch the video? It wasn't comparing Biden's performance to his predecessors, but comparing some points of trivia.

  4.  @hobgoblinhollow4966SO  I refer you back to my previous post.

  5. VOA thinks you do since you took the time to click and comment.

  6. @FirstName LastName: So what would you have done to attract an American teacher to that small town?

  7.  @AfricaGeo  How Harris chooses to identify herself is her business. I see her as an American who happens to be of Indian and Jamaican ancestry.

  8.  @MonicaGarcia-ur2yx  And you're more knowledgeable and trustworthy, why?

  9. It's explained in the description underneath the video.

  10. @John Scott: A little rocky? Trump lost all but one or two of his cases and the ones he won were determining if proper procedure was being followed, not whether fraud had occurred.

  11. VOA is an US government funded outlet.

  12. I'm glad Trump lost, but it was hardly a landslide. I remember Reagan's thrashing of Mondale in 1984 (525-13 Electoral College votes). That was a landslide defeat.

  13.  @JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth  "MAGAloser"? Was that aimed at me? If so, then you must be the one who's the Trump supporter. Otherwise, you would've been able to read the first four words in my original post: "I'm glad Trump lost ...".

  14. VOA is a US government agency.

  15.  @rcasey9004  That sounds like something parrots say.

  16. It's not that much different here in the US.

  17. What was incorrect in this US government news organization's video?

  18.  @stlapierre  In other words, you can't answer the question. Why am I not surprised?

  19. I don't remember if this was in all Navy commissaries, but I remember lining up with my mom to wait for someone to tell you which register to go to. It would've been handy at the civilian grocery stores I've worked at.

  20. I'm glad you could figure out that VOA gave a brief explanation to non-Americans (its target audience) of the next step for a President-elect.

  21. No one is forcing you to celebrate Juneteenth. VOA has been in existence since the 1940s. I've been listening to it (mostly via shortwave) since the late 80s. Try not paying income tax and find out how "fake" the government is. Doesn't matter whether you believe this video or not. And again, no one is forcing you to celebrate Juneteenth.

  22. In this specific case, it's probably not just the pay, but also the environment. Most young teachers don't want to be out in the middle of nowhere without any family or potential friends around their age.

  23.  @trueheartintent  I was using "ugly" to describe how people comment, not the content of their posts. 🙂

  24.  @MrTrader1up  Is that an accusation or a confession?

  25.  @JCX-9  Why would someone target a building that no one outside of that neighborhood even knew existed before it collapsed? 🙄
    1
  26.  @najibbamadhaj1545  How does destroying a building that nobody outside of that neighborhood knew existed and killing a relatively small number of people (compared to an event like 9-11) accomplish anything?
    1
  27.  @JCX-9  In other words, you can't answer the question I asked. Not surprising.
    1
  28.  @JCX-9  It made sense enough for you to try and deflect from it in your previous post, but I'll be nice and try to reword it so it's easier to understand: No one else in the world knew this building existed before it collapsed. Why would it be a target for terrorists?

  29. I guess that would explain why he won California all three times he ran for president -- oh, wait, he didn't.

  30. How are the masks keeping these people from signing? Or keeping others from viewing the signs?

  31.  @abby54  Unless you can explain how those passages have relevance to the topic of the video, you're risking being reported for spamming.

  32. The aim seems to be to have fun, not training for actual combat. I don't know of too many armies that use foam swords as their main weapon of choice.

  33. Your post serves as a perfect example as to why schools shouldn't be closed.

  34. I don't know if that's true, but Hamas definitely did Netanyahu's bidding when it launched its terrorist attack, thereby pushing his political issues out of the news.

  35.  @shree711  There's a difference between being eligible to run and actually doing so. If I see one of those millions of people on the news or on a ballot and there's a party name or initial after her/his name, as far as I'm concerned, he/she is a politician.

  36.  Will Williams  A song from a film or a film's soundtrack can win a Grammy, but the film itself can't. You know why? Because Grammys are awards for music.

  37. If I understand the situation correctly, it's not a shortage of oil that's the problem. It's a shortage of people to deliver the gas to the gas stations.

  38. You also have to entice prospective teachers to live in the middle of nowhere.

  39. @Notmy Cupoftea: I'm sorry the First Amendment bothers you that much. Perhaps you should look into moving to a country where free speech is either "discouraged" by authorities or outright banned.

  40. This isn't Vox, it's VOA (Voice of America), a government established and funded outlet.

  41. If rally attendance was a perfect predictor of election success, Bernie Sanders would be in his second term as President right now.

  42. Obama didn't start the war in Afghanistan, that was George W. Bush.

  43. Voice of America (VOA) is a department of the US government.

  44.  @danielhorton1321  Presidents are inaugurated on January 20th, not elected. The election's been over and done.

  45.  @danielhorton1321  Is Marshal Law any relation to Jude Law?
    1
  46. How so?
    1
  47.  @areuaware6842  I have, and as far as I recall, there's nothing specifically prohibiting or encouraging political parties. If I'm not remembering right, then please answer my question and point out where political parties are prohibited in the Constitution.

  48.  @thetruth6254  I'll confess that it's been a while since I read Revelations, but isn't the Antichrist supposed to be beloved by the vast majority of the world? That doesn't seem to apply to Trump.

  49. If the service offered the ability to reject delivery (e.g., most junk mail), then I'd be interested.

  50. You do realize that the VOA is an US government funded media outlet, right?
