      Yup, Trump doesn’t even have a tax return to show from last year and somehow he wants Kamala to have a W-2 from 40 years ago? What an ass.

        Trump has his tax returns. He’s just being audited by the IRS. Can’t release your taxes when you are under audited. Trump said so himself!

        Trump would never lie to us. /s

        It’s easy to mistake the scale of skill for jobs that actually require work when you have never actually worked one.

        as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices… working in fast food isn’t the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.

        however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right

          I don’t mean anything insulting to the workers by it. I’m just saying that high schoolers can handle a job like that easily. And used to before the economy went to shit.

        One time we were busy AF, the owner comes in and tries to jump in and do the fry station. Not cooking the fries, just scooping and filling the little containers. He was pretty useless, realized he was just in the way, and apologized.

          Honestly, I’m just impressed the owner realized he was useless, and apologized. The franchise owner I worked for was an unpleasant, angry individual who would have just yelled at his overworked and underpaid employees for not keeping up with the lunch rush.

      The only person I would suspect would lie about working at a McDonalds is actually Donald Trump because he is a compulsive liar and avoids having a stable relationship with reality. For literally anyone else, I don’t doubt it for a second, it’s just not worth lying about.

        Trump card was always a colloquial slang. And I think it still works on it’s own. It’s just that instead of turning the tables. Today it means to toss the table over stomp about and act ineffectually childish.

          In my circles “Trump card” has evolved to mean the exact opposite of what it used to. It used to mean “the one move that guarantees your win”, now it means “the move that guarantees your loss”.

      There is proof. That’s why Trump was always golfing! Trump needed to golf to relax from all the hard working he was doing. It’s hard work doing absolutely fucking nothing except grifting people.

      I am sure there is some way or other you could get a government record of where you worked when you were 18 or whatever, but it’s not worth even bothering to indulge them. She can just do the “next question” thing like she did in the CNN interview when they asked her about the racist attacks.

    Look, I worked at Taco Bell in the 90s for three years. I would have one heck of a time trying to prove it without finding someone to confirm it. If I had just been there for a couple seasons, nobody would have remembered me.

      I have corroborating evidence that I worked in a Miami Subs and Grill in 1995 when I was 18 because the friends I worked there with (three of us) were all there the day the lady bought the $50 undersized bottle of Dom Perignon that the managers mystifyingly put in the little beer and wine case, drank it out of a paper cup with her meatball sub, and left.

      That’s the sort of shit you can’t make up. Or forget.

      I never worked fast food but thats because I had friends that did and avoided it like the plague. mowed lawns, baby sat, worked in a bookstore and a library, assisted janitors, painted, shipping and recieving. Closest I came was the dorm cafeteria but that one gave you a free meal every shift so I got on that.

          80’s and 90’s and yeah. pretty much my word on it. If I was like dragged into court I could likely get some records suponed and maybe prove some of it. Heck even after that I worked for a contract engineering firm that did y2k remediation. Its on my resume way in the back (I utilized a multipage format where the first page could stand on its own) and on linkedin. It got bought out after I worked there and I think then eventually was closed up. My guess is they may have been bought for the software. I could drive to the buisiness park and maybe even identify the building where I used to go work but its not that place anymore and I don’t think I could get any evidence at all that I worked there and im like pretty sure I can not even prove it ever existed but maybe. Its like the first job in my tech career.

    This from the third-generation real estate tycoon fraudster who is worth significantly less than if he’d just stuck his inheritance in an index fund. And then if she does play his game and actually provides proof, either it’s fake or she’s “just a waitress” like AOC. Pass.

      “Where’s Obama’s birth certificate?”

      Obama: shows birth certificate.

      “Where’s the long form birth certificate?”

      Obama: shows long form birth certificate.

      “That’s clearly a fake.”

        Reporter: " Originally you said it was the right leg"
        Trump: “No, I clearly said it was the left.”
        Reporter: “Here is a recording of you saying it was your right leg, and here is a copy your family’s doctor sent the US Army stating that it was your right leg.”
        Trump: “You are a nasty person. You sit down, you don’t even say hello. I bet you work for ABC. I know ABC…terrible ratings…the worst…I hear they have a lot of…they don’t like Trump…and people say they have a lot of fake news.”

      Trump is trying to get her to mud-wrestle in a pigsty: Even if she wins, she’ll be smeared with shit all over. The only winning move is not to play. Nobody who supported her is gonna think “wait, what if she lied about working at McDs? I’ll better vote for the other guy, who definitely is more working class (and also never provided any documentation for literally anything unless by court order)”
