  1. Kudos to all the tow companies that have refused to remove them. It's not just truckers. Don't forget the farmers and now ranchers that have joined the cause! I don't have any information, but apparently it got ugly in Calgary yesterday. They are getting around the gas thing by carrying around jerry cans that are empty and some that have water in them to make it unenforceable. Edit: Provences are dropping mandates all over, so it's working.

  2. I loved everyone trying to say Hilary was the most qualified candidate in history. I'm thinking a 1 term Senator in a state she never lived and a failed Secretary of State? If that's the most qualified, we're screwed. I don't think they even understood they were dissing Obama when they said that.

  3. I loved the interview with one of the "migrants". The journalist asked if the border is open and he said yes. The journalist kept tripping over his words as he asked the same question several different ways trying to get a yes to the border is closed. Finally the immigrant said it's completely open. I just walked in! So the guy asks legally? The migrant goes Illegally. I just walked in. It's easy.

  4. The reason gas prices are coming down is due to court rulings. They've ruled in favor of states and oil companies about drilling on federal lands. Apparently breaking a contract with the flick of pen is frowned upon.

  5. Basically this is Desantis's first real test to see if he'll stand against the establishment. So far he's failed miserably. He appears to be saying he won't prevent extradition of a political prosecution by another state of a citizen of Florida. Add in the delayed response and it's almost like he was waiting to be told what he should do by certain groups that filled his war chest at the expense of seats in Congress.

  6. The best advice I can give is to find someone close that raises cattle. There are a lot of small businesses that do that. If you don't go for organic, they can run in the price range of $3.99-$5.99 per pound. Go in with a friend and you each purchase half a cow. It costs a couple hundred to process it. It will give you enough meat, depending on size of cow and family, to last about 1 year or 1.5 years. Just remember the cost is all up front, but when everyone else is paying $7 or more a lb for the fattest ground beef, your filet cost less than that. Edit: They are usually still grass feed until about the last couple of months when they get put on grain to get good marbling. My family has done this for generations and it's well worth it. It's cheaper and far superior meat then you get at the store.

  7. That's pretty insane. I guess if we completely switch the system to guilty until proven innocent maybe. Fortunately that's not how it works.

  8.  @pat36a  "Media spun it". So now quoting him is spin? How about he's not right in the head and this is more evidence? That's not spin, it's fact. Bringing on psychologists to diagnose someone they've never spent a second with is spin. It's also unethical, but nobody gave a shit about calling that out. Edit: What you are doing is trying to "spin" it by acting like it's perfectly normal for a President to get so confused that he refers to himself that way.

  9. The fact the administration is trying to claim the economy is fine because middle class still has savings is insane. So because I'm cutting back rather than stripping my 401k further somehow means the economy is really doing great? That just tells me the goal is to bankrupt the middle class. Since most people at some point in their lives will reach the middle class, the ones that are able to stay in it do so by understanding how to budget and manage their money. So the goal is to push them to the point they have no choice but to destroy their retirement to pay their bills. Then once they've done that and had to sell or lose their homes will this administration admit the economy is bad.

  10. Everytime my husband goes to the grocery store with me to do the weekly shopping he freaks at how much it costs. I've even reverted back to buying like I did when we weren't making anywhere near as much and it's still over double what I was spending when I'd buy good stuff like lobster tails and steaks. It's insane. God forbid I need cleaning supplies too.

  11. To anyone confused about export and imports of oil in the US, I'll explain. Most of what we import is really dirty, nasty cheap oil. New refineries can't process it because it will gunk up and break their equipment. The US I one of the only countries that still has old refineries in working condition. My grandfather and husband worked at the longest continuous running refinery in the US. We import their dirty oil and process it into perfectly useable gas that sells at the same price that clean oil produces. We make a TON of money from it. In exchange, the US puts some of it's clean oil on the global market and that's our exports. If we stopped doing that, that yucky oil is now unusable which would drastically reduce the future global supply and would drive prices astronomically high. A lot of people think all oil is equal, but it is not.

  12. Having grown up in the aftermath of very similar Democrat policies, though for different reasons in some cases, anyone with half a brain knew where all this was going to take us. Last time we had an energy crisis it was because we thought we were going to run out of oil instead of oil bad, but the results are the same. This is by far not the first time the US has coddled criminals. It happens like clockwork. It always results in massive crime spikes. They did the same lockdowns during the Spanish flu to the same results. The only difference was we weren't as reliant on foreign trade. It's like we're replaying every bad policy and social experiments all at once and knowing the impact these had in the past, think it'll be different this time.

  14. Their loyalty is to the military complex. They lied to him to keep troops and funding flowing, and that's why he fired them.

  15. I've been stocking up, but it's about time to order my yearly half a cow. My grandparents taught me well. We've bought from the same family for generations. It's pricey up front, but saves tons in the long run. Nothing better than a $3.50 lbs for every cut of beef. We moved earlier this year from Arkansas to Oklahoma and we have a generator hardwired into the house in Arkansas, but I need to get it done here. I've had the pleasure too many times of being without power for a week or more during the winter. To explain how I'm always prepared anyway, during snowpocalypse this past winter trucks couldn't get in or out of where I was for over a week. Grocery stores were bare. I still had another week of food by the time the roads opened back up.

  16. I was watching Congressional proceedings when they were discussing reparations. The amount of blaming other races going on in it was shocking and saddening. One man was very upset there were two college scholarships specifically for huwhite people. He exclaimed that proved racism still existed in the system. I asked him about the nearly 100 I could search for people of his race and why he thought it was fine there be that many available for him, but 2 was too much. I asked if he thought there should be none. He never replied. Another was saying there needed to be more representation on TV and movies. I asked if he thought 12% of the population should make up 50% of it. Again no reply. That was while I was explaining how Natives had not received reparations as all of them believed because "they know some that get checks from the government". I pointed them to the Congressional committee that discussed it under Obama and came to the conclusion it was too difficult. I also explained that the checks were from lawsuits filed against the government for broken treaties and stealing tribal money the government keeps because Natives are too stupid to handle their own money. I also asked why Natives getting checks equals reparations to them, but them getting government checks doesn't. Again no reply. One woman said they didn't want money, but certain privileges and listed several like affirmative action, incentives to start businesses with better interest rates, easier to get housing loans, etc. I pointed out they'd had almost all those since Civil Rights passed. She did reply and admitted she did not know that. Many don't know that reparations were already given in those government programs. It was even acknowledged as such at the time. The sheer hatred I saw in some of the comments directed at all other races was honestly sickening. So no, I'm not surprised by this poll in the slightest.

  17. Basically we're going back to before the IRS was gutted under Reagan or Bush Sr. I'll never forget the speech a Congressman gave before they voted on it. It was about how the IRS was something even elected officials feared and no government agency should have that much power. He talked about how he'd gotten a letter in the mail and as soon as it saw it was the IRS, he was filled with dread and fear. He reasoned if it caused him to have that reaction it's even worse for the people. He concluded with the people shouldn't fear the government. I wish we had politicans like that today.

  18.  @Tyler_W  According to Rekieta, who's good buddy Ty does contract deals far larger than this, that was an insulting lowball first offer and even Jeremy said he knew he'd reject it. So why send your "friend" an offer you know is no where near what it will be negotiated to? Why not send them one that's closer to what you know the terms will be and go from there instead of insult your friend you know is demonitized already and going to lose 20% of the contract off the top? Honestly, that was one of the biggest insults in it. You're removing almost 1 full year of pay, putting paying for everything on him, while taking every extra cent he could possibly get to try to cover paying for everything. That was literally asking him and his entire staff to work for free and start millions in the hole.

  19. I see it everyday. People realizing the huge mistake they made. People for the first time are understanding that their vote does have consequences. Everyone was so accustomed to the uniparty, where no matter who got elected it didn't make any difference, that they thought Biden would carry on with most of the policies. It's obvious to them now that Trump did a lot more than they understood at the time. Edit: He needs to come back and finish breaking stuff. There needs to be accountability for what's been done and he can do it in his last term and fade away.

  20. Not Republican and been what's now considered MAGA since Ross Perot.
    26
  21. Yep. They aren't going to secure anything. They're going to speed up paperwork. It's embarrassing.
    26
  22. The Republicans need a new Senate leader. Rand Paul or even Cruz would be better than the turtle. He's too chummy with his opponents. We need someone like Gingrich was. Not necessarily his beliefs, but with balls that push the President around. Republicans when I was growing up were loud and aggressive in politics. Now they're a bunch of cry babies. It's been interesting watching them lose their balls over the years.
    25
  23. That was hilarious.

  24.  @nicwelch  Tell that to the good parents that raised their children right, then the child goes off to college, and comes back completely different. There are tons of examples of this occurring. Stop blaming parents for decisions adults make. This person was 28 years old, not fresh out of high school. Edit: I was married with 2 kids and purchasing our first home at that age. My parents were terrible parents. They don't get credit for who I became anymore than they should get the blame if I turned out a loser.

  25. Which is it? Black people are poor and oppressed or they're traveling and staying in MV? They can't make up their mind.

  26.  @jhoughjr1  Executive orders only directly impacts the federal government. They've tried to circumvent checks and balances before using things like the Department of education and it's been struck down by the courts. Some powers are directly under the Executive Branch, but it's very limited. Even when new regulations are implemented it has to go through a public discussion period. A good example happened recently when the current administration tried to ban weapon braces. They tried to use the ATF classification system to do it. The courts struck it down because it's not a weapon, it's an accessory and the ATF doesn't have the authority to regulate that. It seems the only person that doesn't understand checks and balances is you.

  27.  @American-Motors-Corporation  2015 was Obama, not Trump so what does that have to do with him? You forgot that Nixon also caused our oil imports to double due to price controls he put in place. The Arab Oil Embargo that you're referring to was because we'd just faced an oil crisis. What happened in 2015? The US became the largest producer of oil. We were no longer at risk of an oil crisis. We export mainly to Canada and Mexico. I'm confused by why you think sending India oil is bad. We are not currently experiencing an oil shortage. The price of oil is based on speculation, not current supply. That speculation is on the global market, not just the US. Let's take the Keystone pipeline as an example. The pipeline would have allowed oil to flow to refineries faster and increased the global supply of oil so prices dropped in speculation of that happening. When it got canceled, the oil production wouldn't increase thus keeping the global supply the same so the price rose because the speculation was incorrect. The current prices rising is because Biden's cuts to drilling will effect the global supply in the future. If we don't increase exploration, we won't be able to replace oil deposits that run out and stop producing. That will decrease the amount available in the future. Whenever there is a decrease in the amount of something (or the likelihood of a decrease) the price of that item goes up. Edit: Maybe have a basic understanding of how the market works before voicing what you believe to be true.

  28. I'm multiracial and I've wondered that. Does my white part pay my 1/4 black part? Just like when they say white people should go back to Europe and give everything back to Natives. Do I cut off my arm and leave it here? They never consider mixed races because they are racist.
    23
  29. I'm loving that they are using the same language they've used against southerners for years. Now everybody else gets to see what it's like to be called stupid and ignorant constantly by people that don't even know you. Let's see how that works out.

  30. ​ @mids5854  No. You're looking only at markup. Markup doesn't equal profit margins. You've got waste, theft losses, leasing, payroll, etc. Grocery stores have the lowest profit margins of any business. They're not like a car dealership where there's little overhead and markup translates almost directly to profit. I'd suggest watching when Elizabeth Warren was claiming price gouging and brought Kroger in front of Congress. She made a fool out of herself and stopped spouting that nonsense.
    22
  31. I like Keri. I'm thrilled to finally see Gen X really starting to stand up to the plate politically. We appear to be the last sane generation so it's up to us to fix this mess. We tried to stop it when Clinton brought China into the World Trade Organization in 2000. We've always been against globalism and saw politicans happily sending our future overseas. We couldn't stop it then, but maybe now we can fix it. We lost the Battle in Seattle, but the wars not over.

  32. It was like she was back in a kindergarten teacher roll.

  33. Maybe that's why I've always been populist. My grandfather was my idol. Born in 1912, was a farmer and later a Union leader at the oil refinery, led a strike at said oil refinery, was absolutely what one would think of as an upstanding Christian. He was quiet and reserved. He'd take the shirt off his back if someone else needed it, and did. He'd walk to work in the ice if the roads were too bad to drive to make sure the guy he was supposed to relieve at work got off on time. He prioritized family above everything. One time during contract negotiations he asked the OWNER to step outside to settle it, which means he was challenging a fist fight. It was so against his nature to do something like that, the owner immediately apologized and backed down. He'd made a comment about the workers that was particularly insulting and my grandfather wasn't having it. You can imagine the impact that had coming from a 6'7 man that nobody had ever even heard raise his voice. He never trusted the government. He taught us survival skills and how to grow pretty much anything because we still farmed. It was all about being self sufficient. Hunting, farming, fishing, he made sure we all had those skills. He even built the only house they ever owned by himself. Including all the electrical, plumbing, cabinets. Things he'd never done, but taught himself how to so he didn't need to rely on anyone else. I think if everyone had someone like him in their lives, we'd be in a much different and better place right now. Oh yeah, and everything bought HAD to be American made. It didn't matter if it's more expensive. You support your fellow citizen's first.

  34.  @American-Motors-Corporation  Why would he? His policies had the US producing so much oil, the price of oil went negative. We became a net exporter which means we were exporting more than we imported. I did not see Trump and go ballistic. If you think explaining how the market works is "ballistic" then you should probably refrain from posting or ever speaking to anyone. Why would you place an embargo, which is a punishment, on countries that weren't doing anything? My family has worked in the oil business for 60 years so I'm not uninformed or even looking at it as political. Just stating facts. I know several people that own oil wells and are directly affected by all these policies. Where are your facts to back up your claims? No where. You say look at this, claim it caused the current prices (it didn't because the price is global not domestic), and gave zero proof of your claim. I explain in detail exactly why the prices are as high as they are and that's going "ballistic" according to you. Refute anything I said. Gas prices are higher in Europe, Canada, and several other countries due to the increase in price on the global market. Do you think that a US company is going to sell their oil far below market price domestically? Is that what you're trying to claim? Edit: Nixon's price controls caused us to double our imports. If it didn't, it did, prove it. There are plenty of charts that show how much we use that's imported.
    20
  35. ​​ @esotericivy  Nobody has said African. They say Jamaican. You're making claims even she's not. Saying someone is Jamaican is like saying someone is American. There are many different races and ethnicities that are Jamaican. Edit: I REALLY want her to talk about slavery given that her family were slave owners in Jamaica.
    20
  36. That's really reparations, but they don't realize it. I was in the video comments of a video from the Senate (I think) discussing it. Many of the black commenters were saying Natives had gotten them, they didn't, and that they want things like special consideration for loans and priority for certain things. They didn't know they already have those things.

  37. Exactly what I came to say. Little Jimmy is smart and reducing his chances of dying from something that shouldn’t be dangerous.

  38. One of the reporters there said when he got there there were crowbars lined up beside the windows. They disappeared once the windows were broken. There's also the footage of one guy breaking a window with a crowbar and people around him yelling stop and fed.

  39. We can be. If you go down the wrong dirt road, especially in the mountains, odds are good you’ll not be seen again. Hillbillies take private property very seriously.

  40.  @Klonering  He refused to do it until the section that allows spying on citizens is removed or revised. That's what Obama used to spy on his campaign so his reluctance is understandable.
    20
  41. @Ralph Reilly Maybe that's why they said "companies". Big tech refers to a large tech based company and no one ever said it was a single entity. Reading comprehension clearly isn't your strong suit.

  42. I think it's because people here think of things like the Italian mafia when it comes to organized crime. Cartels don't operate like that. They're brutal. There's no code other than death.
    19
  43. There's someone in the comments saying he rounded up a bunch of innocent people. They've literally branded themselves. Anyone that didn't earn them and just got them done the cartel would have eliminated themselves.
    19
  44. That's charged when it can't be determined how the now corpse died. They can't prove murder so they go with failing to report it and desecration if it's mutilated. It's considered a biohazard.
    19
  45. I have seen some people named Tim Pool saying Trump should have funded them himself. Like WTF? He's not responsible for the purse strings of the GoP. You had Rove giving money to opposition. It's disgusting.
    19
  46. I'd go when I was pregnant because they had crab leg special on Tuesday night. It was one of the few things I could eat. The waitresses treated me amazingly. One night there was a bachelor party. The bachelor was deaf. It was very entertaining and very quiet.
    19
  47. @Schrödinger's Snuffleupagus If it was the starting deal, then why when Crowder said it wasn't acceptable and come back with something else, did they ghost him for 3 months and then say that's the best we can do? That's according to the end of DWs video. After he spent the entire video claiming he knew Stephen was worth way more, would bring in way more, and it was negotiable? Clearly it wasn't.

  48.  @lessimcdowell9897  Why? They are an immigrant. That's not an slur. It's a fact. My husband is an immigrant. Do you think he isn't aware he immigrated here?

  49. That was unbelievably stupid. Like he doesn't own a shredder, and it was a drug bust.
    17
  50. I forgot about that one! We were going to use up all the water. We had crazy environmentalist ladies come to my school telling us how horrible all the plants are where I live. I asked them where the people were supposed to work if they closed them because my dad and grandfather worked at them. They didn't have an answer. Just like now it was someone they liked to complain about but had no real solution for.
    17
  51. Spending hasn't slowed down. They just passed a large bill about manufacturing computer chips. They're determined to spend us into a depression.
    17
  52. This IRS expansion is really going to hurt people with side businesses. Especially in homemade goods. As someone that does some of that, I already make pennies for my labor. Now I'm either going to have to drop the quality of what I use or just stop making large pieces. The only other option is to only take cash for large items but that kills any online sales of them. This sucks for independent artists for sure.
    17
  53. Honestly I'd settle for the ATFs powers to be reigned in. The fact they can just arbitrarily decide a gun is illegal by changing a definition is an insane amount of power that the founders never would have been okay with.
    17
  54. The force thing isn't the government being forced. It's the people being forced to endure a government that no longer serves their best interest. Honestly been waiting for some of this to kick off in these countries. Aside from just the immigration, some if the recent laws being put in are down right draconian and authoritarian.

  55. ​ @themadmattster9647  How about you go watch video recorded in India showing how the food is cooked. The unsanitary conditions. It has nothing to do with spice. Ungloved hands, include the one you're not supposed to eat with for a reason.
    16
  56.  @DTF_official  Which makes zero sense because all intel is that China is pro Biden and Joe has used that and that Iran wants him as a reason to vote for him. It's interesting that Russia wanting Trump is bad, but a country that shouts death to America supporting Biden is good.
    16
  57. Because they intend to. Did everyone forget he said the same thing during his campaign and at debates? They absolutely want to end oil. They just aren't supposed to talk about it during an energy crisis their destruction of the industry has caused right before an election. There's a reason this administration has given out half the permits as is normal. Edit: That's why the Saudis won't talk to him and why they're turning towards Russia when they had worked with us against them many times in the past. People have the memory of a goldfish.

    16
  60.  @alexphilipose1351  They removed those completely during the pandemic. That's why increasing the interest rate was never going to have a big impact on inflation. You raise it because due to the banks required to keep a certain percentage of what they've loaned out on hand, a higher interest rate removes money from circulation. It's then pulled from the bank's holdings and removed from the entire supply. Banks are no longer required to keep 10% on hand so nothing is being removed from active circulation. Add in that now money in savings including retirement funds is considered "in circulation" (which it isn't obviously because it's not being circulated within the economy) and it's just a mess right now.

  63. I don't know. After the debate a lot of people woke up that they'd been being lied to.
    15
  64. No. Giving the government the power to restrict any right means they have the power to restrict any and all of them. It's already required that a therapist report any person that's a threat to themselves or others to prevent them from doing so. Giving the government the power to determine who is or isn't too mentally ill to have rights isn't the answer.
    15
  65.  @thilli1859  Is your reading comprehension 3rd grade? The comment was "If it's not a court and has legal authority". So you agree that it circumvents the Constitutional rights of the accused then since you agree it's not a court.
    15
  66.  @joshuaholman7760  Child beauty pageants aren't nearly as popular as they were thanks to those shows exposing how the children are treated. I've been to county fair pageants and they're not like that. That exposed mother's that were obsessed with it. How about the child dance competitions? How are they any different either?

  67. The EU as it was first done was fine. As a trade organization and economic union. When it started to try to run the governments of the independent countries and ignore sovereignty is when it became a problem.

  68.  @lrod312  The WEF chooses young global leaders without their knowledge. They just are people the WEF believes might be useful up and coming people that they invite if they become more powerful. It's basically a watchlist of people for them to keep track of or a signal for other members to take them under their wing.

  69. I live in a red state and had an old high school friend come visit from California a few weeks ago. She was shocked that basically nothing had changed here and nothing was closed. When we all went out to eat she just kept saying she was moving back because they were still on lockdown after 4 months. Our state did finally do a mask mandate, but our police and businesses aren't enforcing it.

  70. It's common for them to drop out. That's why the entire argument that this was to help "historically oppressed groups" was never true. It actually harms them because they can't do the work and that increases their sense of failure. I guess lowering people's self esteem because they're the correct race is helpful in their minds.
    14
  71. My favorite part is they blame white people for erasing where they came from. In reality over 80% were already slaves in Africa before they were sent to other areas of the world. So they need to ask the people that actually enslaved them where they originated from.

  72. I've loved watching Neil Young try to backtrack. He's saying he's never supported censorship. He just doesn't want his music on the same platform. Then he adds that he doesn't like how music on Spotify sounds. That they have bad quality. He's pulled his music from it before for that reason. How can he claim to not support censorship when the whole reason he made a big deal about it was to try to get Joe taken down and to start a boycott. What does he think a boycott is for? He got called out for it by fans and now he's trying to save face.

  75.  @TheHigherVoltage  I can't take someone seriously that doesn't know why marijuana was banned and why it's remained so. You also ignore that the bill that put all those people in jail didn't come from the right. Marijuana was banned because it was competition to paper. It's remained banned because it's competition to pharmaceutical companies. The Democrats told you it was because of the right because it's in their political interest to do so. You also don't know your audience. The majority here don't believe government should be involved in marriage at all. Marriage has become defined as a religious ceremony so that's where it should stay. For the government, it should just be legislated like any other contract or not at all. So you being upset that a religious institution won't say you can get married so you demand the government violate other people's rights is the problem. As for women, a new poll says over 50% of women WANT to be a housewife and not work. I advocate that's their choice, you advocate that's wrong think. Again believing you should be be able to violate their rights and force your opinion on them because you don't agree with it. Yet you're upset because a now very small group with no political power, dare to voice disagreement with you and don't believe what you want. You consider what they are doing is violating your rights while demanding government involvement to force your opinion on others. You're what you're railing against and don't even see it. Edit to add: Tolerance isn't a one way street. You are free to advocate for what you want and they are free to do the same. Neither should be silenced. That's what real tolerance is. I'd suggest learn to do it first before demanding it from others.

  76. Not true. Interest rates were back to normal levels under Trump until the pandemic. This is the economic impact of Obama keeping them artificially low though, that much is correct. Whenever there big economic downturn you look back to policies implemented about 10 years before because that's how long it take a policy to completely impact the economy. You'll have short term things, but the full impact takes about 10 years.

  77. It was always the plan. I don't think anyone read his platform because so far, he's been fulfilling it. This is exactly what people "voted" for. They are just too short sighted to have understood the ramifications o his platform.

  78. It's not really tax payers. It's workers. Without a sufficient workforce businesses can't expand and increase the economy. A growing economy is what everyone looks at to decide the success of a country.

  80.  @lefantomer  Yes murder usually carries a life sentence. This particular case, which was real, she carried it to term, hide the pregnancy from everyone except the boyfriend, was in labor but didn't want to miss prom, gave birth in the bathroom, strangled the baby, threw it in the dumpster behind the school, and went back to enjoying her prom. In what way does any of that look like trauma? It does look like a psychopath though. At no point were there any indications of panic on her part. It was all very methodical. Edit: Other female students testified they heard her making noises in the stall and saw blood, but she always said she was fine when asked if she needed help and said she was okay. Abortion was legal at the time so there was no excuse for it.

  81. I knew when I read the story about the 10 year old it was false. That would fall under life of the mother, not grape. You said on stream some states aren't allowing the life of mother exception. You specifically pointed to South Dakota. I looked into it, and it does indeed allow for that exception. That was allowed in every state before Roe, and I can't find a single state without it now.

  82. They've been saying this just people are finally listening. That's why shoving kids into public schools at 3 is in the Build Back Better bill even though studies under Obama showed there's zero advantage to it for children. They just called parents domestic terrorists which is completely insane. They are drunk on power, ripped the mask off, and are acting surprised when people recoil from them.

  86. Carter is a good man. My mother worked for him when he was governor of Georgia. There's a reason every president since has called on him for diplomacy. He's a great negotiator in such matters. He was just weak. That's what people thought they wanted coming off the heels of the end of Vietnam. Carter never would have acted like Biden has to service men and the people. He would take the bashing and not run and hide.

  87.  @forceghostburtreynolds  It's not one. They've been free to go to the West Bank. Just because you're not allowed into someone else's country doesn't make where you've chosen to be a prison. Israel doesn't surround the Gaza strip. There are at least 2 other countries connected to it, but keep ignoring that because it doesn't fit the narrative. Edit: So when someone gets deported back to their country is the US putting them in a "concentration camp"? It's a ridiculous premise.
    12
  88. I don't. None of this is new for him if you look back at his nearly 50 years. He won't ever step down because President is all he's ever wanted to be, no matter how much damage he does.

  89.  @popuptarget7386  Rosenbaum was. Not originally but had moved there. He was on probation and wasn't supposed to be near any underaged children for 40 years. He was the one chasing Kyle to begin with. So Rosenbaum was doing all kinds of stuff he shouldn't have been that night.

  91. There are two agreements in play here. One is we would protect Ukraine for giving up it's nukes. The second is an agreement with Russia to not allow countries close to it into NATO. If we honor the second one, hopefully the first one won't come into play. A lot of people commenting on this don't appear to be aware of these agreements because they never mention them. The agreement with Ukraine is similar to the one we have with Japan and Taiwan. If we don't honor it, it sends a terrible message to those two countries and China. There's a lot more at play here to flippantly say " Not my problem". Edit: I'll also note that when Ukraine had it's rebellion against the Russian puppet president, they said they only wanted to be able to trade with the EU and wouldn't seek to join NATO. I fully understand why Russia wouldn't want a NATO country on it's border so not allowing them in is the best course of action here. Assurances of that should have been made earlier and then no one would be losing face right now.

  92.  @reilysmith5187  No it would represent his entire audience on YouTube. Nobody said it represents how people in other countries feel. It's an estimation based on statistical analysis.

  93. ​​​ @npcknuckles5887  That's been explained repeatedly. Low tariffs, yes. The trick is to make them high enough that it's way more beneficial to create a plant in the US to avoid them. Thus increasing good paying jobs and corporate taxes. That's what China does. It's why so many companies have a plant there. They don't allow them to sell their products there without one. It's not free trade if we're paying tariffs and they aren't. Edit: They also raise the price on foreign goods making US produced good competitive which tend to be better quality and longer lasting, saving you money in the long run. This aversion to short-term pain for long-term gain is odd. If you change jobs because the maximum pay is way higher, you're going to start back at the bottom making less for a couple of years. In the long-term though you're going to be way better off. I guess people like you just stay where you are rather than improve your situation.

  95. This movie should be right up the alley for an award given the new requirements. It's got a very diverse cast. It outperformed Indy in ticket sales per theater for nearly the entire week. I have yet to see it, and honestly given my past I'm not sure I'll be able to, but I'll still use their pay it forward system and purchase some for those who want to but can't afford to. The real issue they have is it's a "Christian" studio that's only been around a couple of years. Even though the movie doesn't really have Christian themes, it's been publicized heavily in churches which makes sense because that's where most of these types of groups get their funding. Unfortunately to me that says more about the general public than the organization or the studio. Edit: This movie isn't a pleasant topic, but it's one we as a society need to have. The US is the largest consumer of CP and quickly becoming the largest producer of it. The Superbowl is THE biggest night for sex trafficking in the world. In Oklahoma alone we had 700 illegal grows busted last year and every one was involved in human trafficking. This is real, this is a huge problem, this is a huge industry for the cartels, and we need to seriously address it. This is the conversation we should be having about slavery. It's not just happening in Africa, Dominican Republic, and Haiti. It's happening here.

Taxes we weren't already getting has less of an effect than printing money to pay a company to build one. It was in the infrastructure bill or the Inflation Reduction aka the other half of the infrastructure bill.

  100.  @palladiamorsdeus  It's real in the sense it's always changing. What's different is absolutely nothing they've predicted in the last 40 years has occurred. Some of us are old enough to remember when it was a coming ice age, then the ozone (which has repaired because come to find out it's just something that naturally occurs), then global warming (until people noticed it was getting cooler), now the dreaded climate change. The first "cause" was logging. Plant more trees to clean the air. Okay so we made everything plastic to keep from using as much timber. Now that the forests have increased they want to cut it all down to blanket the surface in solar panels and windmills. It's just constant attacks of a different industry every decade or so to keep the population in a state of anxiety for easier control and manipulation. There's a reason every solution proposed requires a massive extension of government to help. Edit: It's hilarious watching time after time the opposite of their predictions come true. Like the increase in natural disasters and storm strength, but the opposite has occurred. The news will scream climate change at every tropical storm while scientists make public statements correcting them.

  101. ShortfatOtaku took that stance when going over it. If this speech was in a vacuum I could see that, but it's not. It's after years of Democrat politicans calling for violence against anyone that disagrees with them, the administration labeling parents terrorists, and him repeatedly calling all Republicans a threat to democracy whenever they won't vote for his legislation. This is a guy that calls requiring ID to vote extreme and a threat to democracy. Edit: It's funny when he addresses the nation, he tries to talk like Trump. Remember the State of the Union which was full of Trump's platform?

  102.  @antistupid4712  It wasn't really $50 million and they knew it. He's demonitized which means he loses 20% of the entire contract every year. It's closer to $10 million with him taking all production costs plus having to make and fund a documentary that they'll reimburse him about $1.5 million of the cost of. So he better make sure it's cheap or he'll owe them for that too. The contract would be 12.5 million a year with him only being paid 5% of it, because it's already split into 4 years so 25%. They take 20% of that 25% every year because he's demonitized and he's only being paid/offered 5%. That's not including losing another 20% if he just gets a strike. He'd owe them pretty quickly. It is extremely predatory.

  103. It's really upsetting. After watching them so carefully seperate themselves from these people during the main movement only to see them now take it over is stomach turning. I've seen the people that were in it being removed from the parades, if they even go. I've even seen them attacked. In my capital, there are 2 separate celebrations. There's a parade in the gay district that's a normal one as in no kids and no sex. Then there's one through the main part that's the debauchery one. You'd think it would be the other way around. Edit: "Queer" will always be a derogatory term no matter how much straight people with kinks try to use it.

  104.  @Berserker006  I understand what that person is saying and I agree to an extent. The casting couch was well known in Hollywood long before he even came around.

  107. ​ @RunninUpThatHillh  I don't think the government should have bailed them out. That said, it was the government's fault. Policies were put in place to basically force banks to give home loans to people that would never qualify normally. It was for home ownership "equity". To try to protect themselves they pushed fluctuating rate loans. It was also people's fault for choosing those loans over a standard loan and using them to purchase more than they knew they could afford. A lot of credit cards have those same fluctuating interest rates.

  117. Chihuahuas are the breed that's the worst biters and most aggressive. Weenie dogs are up there too. The difference isn't just size, it's jaw strength. I tend to gravitate to herding dogs. They don't have the jaw strength to even break skin because they were bred to nip at the heels of sheep or cows, but not be able to harm them. So even though size/weight wise they are large dogs, they just aren't capable of ripping someone's face off.

  120.  @Prosecute-fauci  This is getting rid of something already made that mostly helps disabled people practice their 2nd amendment rights. It's not forcing a company to do anything. The Act goes beyond that. It's been used to provide brail voting ballots and devices for the hearing impaired in places like museums. It's making sure disabled people aren't denied their rights due to their disability. The access to buildings part is about freedom of movement. Edit: Instead of just reading an Act, you also need to read the court cases that are attached to it. That's how the Act is being interpreted by the courts which directly impacts its application. These braces were first made for disabled people so it's easier for them to use firearms. The government putting an added tax on it would be like them putting a tax stamp on wheelchairs because other people than just disabled found a use for them.

  122. Sorry Styx, once the attacker tries to retreat, self defense is over. The girl in pink was trying to retreat and the other girl was now chasing her. She is now the aggressor and self defense shifts to the girl in pink. If the girl with the knife is the one that called police, her self defense argument ended when she escaped and entered the home. When she came out with a knife to reengage, she's now the aggressor. Colin Nior (sp) went over this very well in the R*ttenhouse video. Edit: If someone that's trying to kill you tries to run away and you chase them down and kill them, that's murder not self defense because at the time you killed them you weren't in danger.

  123. For Shatner it's how he has branded himself. Like John Wayne branded himself as a tough guy even though he'd never been in a fight or war. Shatner does similar as being a man's man but adds comedy to it. Takei in his later years unfortunately decided to brand himself as a stereotypical feminine gay man. If you look back into his career, even after he first came out, he didn't do that. He maintained a certain amount of dignity and respect. His current persona gets him far more attention so it's the one he's sticking with.

  130. They tend to be because they tend to be traditionalists and religious. Yet they still vote Democrat.

  131.  @aceboog4546  It's funny that you call the GOP racist when it's the Democrats that write and champion racist legislation, even now. The crime bill and the vaccine mandates disproportionately affect minorities negatively. This bill increases those mandates and will destroy even more minority owned businesses and put even more out of work, but you cheer it on because you don't really care about minorities. All you care about is your tribe. I know you're just a troll, but thank you for giving me a perfect setup to point out the racist nature of these Democrat Bill's. If only 1 person reads my response and that encourages them to look into it, that's one more I've sent on the journey of truth.

  132. I disagree. He's wanted to be President since he started in politics in the 70s. This was his 3rd attempt. Had it not been for that, then you might have a case. They managed to rebrand him as this grandfatherly figure and people bought it. Mainly because he'd been out of Congress long enough that young people don't know his history and the only thing they know is he was Obama's VP. Politics has gotten so dirty that someone that's been caught repeatedly lying and plagiarizing, so much that he had to drop out two previous times, and the MSM was able to just erase it all.

That's the problem when you try to justify a current coalition by damning a previous one. You're only pointing out why the current one is bad too.

Resorting to personal attacks just shows your arguments are weak and can't stand up on their own merits against you opponent.

It appears most of his good decisions were coming from the legislature instead of him and he just took credit. I do know a lot of his culture war talking points came from his wife who was the one that paid attention to it. Maybe now that she's got more important personal things to deal with he's listening to the wrong people on it.

  146.  @FreedomInc  His tax cuts reduced them for 80% of taxpayers. I don't know how you get that's only a lucky few. You're being extremely dishonest. The border is the way it is right now because Biden is now in office. It has nothing to do with Trump. The illegal immigrants are proudly saying so. We had negative immigration under Trump because people were self deporting. His reduction in regulations saw economic growth we hadn't seen in decades. The wall ended up the way it did because he took input from the people that work on the border and took their advice. Oh the horror!😱 He made insulin affordable again. He was trying to remove our troops but got overridden by Congress because we have this thing called separation of powers. He was in the process of moving a lot of production out of China and into Taiwan. He was refusing to sign the Patriot Act until it was reformed. I don't like the bump stock ban, that he didn't address 230, and I don't like his pardons. I still think he did a lot of good and kept more promises than any candidate in my lifetime, and that goes back to Carter. Especially considering he was under impeachment and fighting his own party for the majority of his term. Edit to add: Almost everything you've complained about is happening now under Biden and wasn't under Trump. That's because Biden signed a massive number of Executive Orders, the most in history, to undo everything Trump did.

If you make the labor of another person a right, it's no different than slavery. Edit: You could make the same argument for slavery back in the day.

Arkansas has been passing some as well despite the "Republican" governor vetoing them. Thankfully all the vetoes have been overridden. Oklahoma also just banned CRT. Contrary to what the poster is saying, there are many currently in state governments with spines. Most have been elected in the last few years rather than the ones that have been there for years. They haven't reached the federal level much yet, but we'll see what happens during the midterms. I'm hoping many will get primaried out. Edit: To clarify, I hope the spineless at the federal level get primaried.

  157. He has good grounds for an appeal. The judge didn't allow him a defense. Everyone his lawyers put up, the judge wouldn't allow. He had no chance since he wasn't allowed a defense combined with a biased jury. There is documentation of jury members already saying he was guilty before they were picked for the trail.

  158. When she decided to run, I took a look at her record. Her name wasn't on a single bill proposed about Natives until the year before. Then it was everywhere. I guess she really thought publicly claiming what she'd lied about all those years was going to give her an advantage. That using us to campaign off of was the way to go. To watch her get called out by the Cherokee nation after her DNA test was glorious. These people seem to think every demographic except huwhite people vote like black people as a massive single block. They don't.

  161. He was one Mitch pointed to. Trump appointed several to appease the old Republicans because Mitch was threatening to block any legislation if he didn't. There weren't enough within the GOP yet that could counter act him. There are two battle fronts with the establishment. One is the unelected officials that have been entrenched in government for decades and the other is the politicans on both sides that have been in government for decades and that includes people like Mitch McConnell.

  164. It's going to be very interesting as the conversation shifts on Twitter to reflect reality. When these cringe ideas that seem to be popular are no longer being artificially pushed to seem like they're far more popular than they are, and they drift back into the fringe where they belong. It's going to be hilarious watching the corporations that have been pandering to this tiny group try to rapidly shift their position.

  165.  @DexLuther  Not just that. It reduces heat faster too. So you can more easily adjust the temperature. Meat, for example, you start at a high temperature to get a nice sear on it then you turn it down so the inside cooks without burning the outside. Electric stove elements can't cool off that quickly so it requires 2 elements open (one to sear and on to finish) instead of one on a gas cooktop.

  166.  @joshuanolan4581  Yes losing 1 years worth of the contract because they knew he's demonitized making him start out owing them money and calling that out as predatory (I've seen better music contracts in the 80s), is a teenager move. He gets nothing, owes them while having to pay all costs while they get all the money from his sponsers, his subscribers, his merch, and his standup shows, is a great deal. Edit: Since it resets every year, they wouldn't have to pay him a dime because it's 20% of the entire contract right off the bat at the start of every fiscal year. He'd go bankrupt. They would only pay him 5% of that $50 million over 4 years with those terms with him paying his team and all production costs out of that. If he gets his normal strikes and stuff, he'd owe them.

  168. I grew up in south Arkansas and I remember when it suddenly changed. They'd come through during harvest and leave. Then one day they stopped leaving. Now every new restaurant is Mexican run by people that can't speak English. They took jobs under the table, sending the money back to their country and out of the local economy and now my once prosperous hometown is mired in poverty.

  169. I have found the internal conflict between the two teams interesting. It explains what's happened since then and why certain material had stopped being regulated on the site. They kept reducing the size of the team that cared about the rules and focusing on enforcing them and increasing the size of the team that regulated based on emotional feelings about stuff. It also explains why there were no new features introduced. They were too busy having the coders work on things that made implementing their judgement easier rather than improving the product. Edit: The CP being all over the site was one of the main reasons I would never join Twitter. My morals would never let me support a site with that as prolific as it was.

  172. Those are immigrant communities that are where new immigrants tend to go. They don't speak much if any English, they don't understand the culture, etc. It's so they can function in their new home and feel safe. It's difficult for adults to learn a entirely new way of existence. The next generation will leave those areas as they are much more assimilated into the culture and language from attending public school and making friends. It's not just different races that do that either. There are German communities, Russian, etc. It's ethnicity based, not racial. Since most people are born here, we assimilated ages ago so have no need for such communities and will live along side the second generation of immigrants in mixed communities. Edit: Black communities are not in that vein. Black immigrants don't want to live in those communities for the most part and create a different one. They as a whole are the outliers in ethnicity based communities.

  173. I saw one "We're on the edge of recession". I don't share your optimism. The food situation hasn't even hit yet and Congress continues to spend like a dumped, wine drunk woman watching QVC. I don't see things getting better anytime soon. This will continue most likely into Biden's last year in office.

  174.  @TheHamgamer  I was thinking similar thoughts. There's the problem of food too. Everything was giant during that period which is why they were. A T-Rex, if it was alive today, would be much smaller. Like the Sabertooth Tiger turned into the tiger. Edit: CO2 levels were very high causing the Earth to be hot and caused plants to grow huge. That in turn made everything else bigger. The most stable period of the Earth's climate.

  177. She gets her greencard first. Then after so many working quarters she can apply for citizenship. She should be able to get a passport from El Savador to travel on. My husband being a permanent resident didn't curtail our out of country travel. With permanent residency she has pretty much the same rights as a citizen except voting in federal elections. Edit: When going through customs be sure to present the passport AND greencard. Then it should be no problem. She'll be listed as a permanent resident in the system that they check.

  178. A college in my state removed a scholarship that was created by someone decades ago with ties to a certain group. There was a call to protest against it. People were freaking out. Students were terrified and parents were panicking calling the school. One guy showed up and quietly sat in the free speech zone (I hate those things). The panic was hilarious.

  187.  @ReformedSauron  Yes and no. Only one position on the board is held by a government appointee. That's the chairman. The rest of the board is made up of private individuals who represent the private institutions. The government can put pressure on their appointee and on the members, but it doesn't control the organization. Edit: Government money pays a lot of people's salaries that don't directly work for the government so that's a bad standard to use to claim they're a government agency. It's a central bank like every country has and not this country's first creation of one. They are all run independently from the government.

  189.  @robfarrell9104  Alienable rights are not Constitutional rights. Unalienable rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Constitutional rights are restrictions on the US government’s power. They do NOT naturally exist in any other country or apply to non citizens of the US. The only ones that do deal with direct contact with government in the way of criminal law. Such as search and seizure. You, like many, confuse unalienable rights with government protections for citizens in the Constitution. Tell me, what unalienable right has to do with how the government will function? That’s in the Constitution which according to you is the rights everyone around the world is automatically entitled to.

  190.  @TheHigherVoltage  The no taxes things on Churches is pretty lame because EVERY nonprofit has those benefits. Churches ARE nonprofit and spend the bulk of donations on charity inside the communities they're in. They save the government money by taking away some of the burden and that's why nonprofits (religious or non religious) aren't taxed. Churches have accounts at grocery stores for those in need to Oh buy the groceries they need to live, they have accounts with every utility company to help pay for families in need, they run shelters, food banks, and kitchens. Define poverty? My red state was considered "poor" but we lived better than people in New York making 3 times as much because the cost of living is much lower. When you look at a rate based on national averages rather than areas, the much higher areas (due to the wealth gap) push the average much higher. I owned a 4 bedroom 3 bath 2300 sq home on 3/4 of an acre for $120,000 because the cost of living was so low. Even when were below the "poverty" line and on food stamps I was able to purchase my own home. We had everything including internet that we were able to pay for fine and our own cellphones and cell service we paid for. That was a family of 4 below the poverty line in one of those "impoverished" red states you're talking about. The average income is $45,000 and the average home price is $100,00. Now look at New York. The average income isn't much higher, but the average cost of a home is astronomical. New York is "rich", but who's living easier and has more? Edit: Also most of those states are agricultural heavy. The government sets the price range of most crops to keep prices down. If farmers were allowed to charge whatever, they wouldn't be poor. Don't try to pull "but California" either. California's farming industry is 1% of the state's economy. Most of those states it's the largest portion of their economy. We can always develop the land and the people in the rich cities can starve.

  191. This happened before and Congress shrunk the IRS because the agency had too much power and was installing fear in the people of the government. Everybody knew someone that had been audited and lost everything they had over a simple mistake. It was crazy. It happened for the reason you stated. They had a requirement of having to do so many audits and bonuses based on how much money the agent was able to collect. It's similar to what's happening with the FBI to justify their budget. So unlike back then, now we're going to have multiple government agencies intimidating the people to justify their existence. Joy.

  192. That's not what this is. In the 6th ward of Minneapolis they are applying for absentee ballots for the elderly, taking them, and filling them out for who they want to win. The one video he says his car is full of them. It shows them on his dash blank and many still in the envelope. They also target first generation immigrants who don't understand how voting works here because they never had it. They even pay for people to vote how they want. They drive them to the polls then pay them on the ride back. He's says that's just part 1. No telling what part 2 will be.

  196. Colic is what usually will cause babies to cry, not allergies. Also teething can occur even in newborns, though it's rare. Newborns should be tended to when crying because of possible undiscovered health issues. Leaving them to cry when they are a bit older doesn't cause psychological problems. That's if they are rarely or ever held, which will cause serious developmental delays. Children don't form memories until 2-3. That doesn't mean abuse won't cause brain problems, just that leaving them to cry for awhile won't. Also recieving unsolicited advice from complete strangers was extremely annoying when I was a new mother. I'd suggest not doing it unless it's close family because it's none of your business.

  197. Yeah the "season" of Pride is ridiculous. Honestly just celebrating at all where you stick your junk is weird. It went from a day, to a week, to a month, and now they're pushing for a season.

  198.  @bigneiltoo  Partially, but not the main cause. That's what the small recession, inflation, and supply chain problems were from. This is because what caused 2008 has never been adequately addressed or corrected. The same loan incentives that caused the housing crash was shifted to business loans. Particularly small businesses. The checks that were put in place to prevent big swings in the economy were removed under Clinton and never fully restored, even though Obama kept swearing he was going to do it. The pressure came during the lockdowns, but not because people were being given money. It's because businesses and investors believed they were going to last at least around 4 years and cause a total shift in the economy to one based on conveniences of availability at home. That society would change to no longer want to leave their homes at all. Ya know, live in the pod and eat the bugs. The opposite happened and people rushed to do things outside and do things in person again. Combine that total miscalculation with loan incentives for those in "marginalized groups" who normally wouldn't qualify for a business loan and we have a 2008 repeat.

  202. The SPLC has said they don't track leftwing violence and neither does the ADL. The statics reminds me of that leftwing meme that went around years ago listing "Christian" terrorist attacks in an attempt to somehow prove Christians do it just like Muslims did. Only 1 would fall under religious motivation. They put the Oklahoma City bombing because McVeigh was raised Catholic yet he said repeatedly he was atheist or agnostic at best and only worshipped science. It also had a guy who just drove his car into the tax office because he was being taken to the cleaners by the IRS.

School used to be about teaching you how to use such resources to learn rather than spoon feeding you information and thinking for you. It's possible to be both.

  208. This isn't even a Cold War 80s mindset. Sure we all dreamed of being a Wolverine, but that was a Russian invasion in the US. We understood, and still do, better than most the dangers of US troops meeting Russian troops on the battlefield head to head. Not only the nuclear risk, but just the moral boost that would give Russian troops. You would turn a situation where many aren't as gung ho about being there into a determined force. Unfortunately Biden just gave them one with this hot take. Not as much as troops on the ground would, but certainly he's helped steel the nerves of them.

  215. They should be prosecuted if there's anyway to do so. Acting like this being leaked is no big deal is terrifying. If every decision is going to be leaked during the discussion phase, then it's going to directly impact that discussion and drastically politicize the one branch that's supposed to be the least political. While I do celebrate the overturning of the one glaring example of the court legislating, this leak is troubling for law in the future. We've already got a law class from Stanford banned from clerking because they don't support free speech and now this proves previous graduates have been radicalized politically and are already clerking and even practicing. Once this group reaches higher levels the future of law looks bleak.

This idea that because a company finally runs out of money and miraculously decides they were wrong so they suddenly deserve my support is BS. They hired these people, they allowed the culture in their company to fester, they allowed their creators and staff to attack fans, etc. It's the person that suddenly finds God on their death bed. Not because they really believe, but because they are afraid. Let them die. Edit: If their side really invested or spent money on these companies, they wouldn't be going broke. You're wrong in everything you said. Look at comic book sales that court this group. They don't buy this crap either.

If you haven't found a job that pays a livable wage within a certain amount of time within your field of study, the loan is written off and it comes out of the college that gave you the worthless degree. That would lower the prices and get rid of a lot of these degrees that don't have a job market. The colleges are reaping the benefits of the current loan system making money hand over fist. They should be responsible for the outcome of the education they gave you.

  232. Well first, they aren't steamed. They're quickly heated on the oven top over a flame if it's a gas stove for tacos. Secondly, trying to claim everything in a tortilla is really just called a taco is just as ignorant as you're attempting to make others seem. There's enchiladas, quesadillas, taquitos, chalupa, quesabirria, entomadatas, etc. All wrapped in different types of tortillas. Burritos are Tex-mex. Traditional tacos are made from beef stomachs and tongue. Edit: Also dishes wrapped in tortillas are from different regions in central and south America. It's not all Mexican. Burritos are different than tacos because they feature refried beans, which are not in tacos (traditional or otherwise). He looked at you like you're crazy because you sounded like it. It's like asking why they call them tacos instead of enchiladas.

  233. My husband works in the oil industry. The diesel "shortage" is because we're shipping a lot more of it outside the US. Driving the price up because there's less domestic product. Like everything else, it's a manufactured crisis. As for having to cut back, we're in the top 10% and are having to cut back. Luckily I'm used to being poor so I'll easily navigate through this. It is disappointing to finally reach this level only to not live much differently.

  235. They aren't banned. You can still purchase them from anywhere you want. Communities vote in local school boards based on certain standards they want upheld in their community. If you don't like those choices, don't send your children to school there. If you don't live there, it's none of your concern. School libraries are so children have access to materials needed to complete course work. That's their purpose. If a book isn't required for that, it's not needed in the limited space of the school library. I'm not sure where this idea has come from that school libraries should have every book ever published for an age range or should contain self help books that serve no function in a school setting . Edit: The reason it's a "talking point" for Democrats is because they want to increase federal power by stripping away power from local and state governments. It has absolutely nothing to do with books and even engaging as if it's about books is a losing argument.

  236. ​ @wesscotchdog9078  Same. Graduated in 90. I learned all the womanly skills. Sewing, quilting, cooking, etc. We were poor so we grew and killed our own food. So add in food preservation like canning. My grandfather taught us all basic survival skills so hunting, fishing, foraging, farming. Being rural helped too. City kids didn't learn that stuff back then either.

  237.  @fungdark8270  Absolutely not. The tips should not be everyone's. The tip is for the service that waiter/waitress provided. It's not for the lazy one that didn't earn any. I've been to places that do that. I will ask before I give a tip if it's someplace new or when traveling. If it is, I give a small one on the card and give a cash tip to my server. Making abundantly clear that it's for them. Wait staff makes less than the rest of the staff, even though they are the face of the restaurant. Bad service will kill an experience no matter how great the cooking staff is. They also can make bad cooks better because if your service is excellent, you're more likely to overlook a meh meal. They deserve the tip.

  238.  @terywetherlow7970  Yes nuclear sites have to be near large amounts of water because the water is needed to convert to steam for power. Every major power source is close to water for the same reason. Natural gas heats the water, creating steam, the steam turns the turbines which generates electricity.

  239.  @Muse22sims  Obama did a study looking into universal pre-K. By the 3rd grade, everyone leveled back out. It didn't help the children get ahead or be more educated in the long run. That's because of how children's brains develop. They simply can't comprehend certain things until a certain age. To put it bluntly, it's nothing but a waste of taxpayer dollars that won't benefit the taxpayers at all. Most elderly already qualify for Medicaid on top of Medicare. Expanded Medicaid from the ACA already covers those things. The ones that already don't get it are the ones that saved for their retirement instead of depending only on social security. The people that saved close to a million to finish out their life. The ones you call "rich" because you don't understand that money has to last them for 20+ years. Drugs were already cheaper, but Biden repelled Trump's EO that did that. It allowed Medicare to negotiate prices and allowed citizens and pharmacies to purchase medications from other countries. Now they care about that?

Less than 1% believe that's what's going to happen. Don't point that out though or you're an evil science denier. I do appreciate that more of them have started speaking out against headlines like "Hurricane caused by climate change" or "Climate change is causing an increase in natural disasters" when the truth is they've been reducing in number.

  242. That's because educated doesn't mean intelligent or smart. I have found self educated people tend to be much smarter than the majority that graduate college. It's because they seek the information on their own which requires much more critical thinking than having it spoon feed to you. I have a degree, but most of what I know wasn't learned in a classroom.

  243. I'm glad I just purchased solar panels for my roof for sure now (made in Texas not China). As someone in the 6 figure and up income bracket, we're getting hit the worst right now. We don't have the extra money to buy EVs. So I honestly have no idea who this is aimed at except the top 3% maybe. Not that I'd ever buy one anyway since we're kinda rural. I keep trying to picture a Tesla driving down a dirt road and it makes me laugh. 100 degree weather, snow and ice in winter is not a good climate for EVs. Edit: We went solar because this state imports a lot of it's energy which makes it cost a lot more. We're in a smaller home by 800 square feet and our electric bill is double what it was in my previous state because that state produces excess energy.

They didn't create them because they already were a political party in the West Bank. It's a common practice in hope that whichever party gets elected they'll feel slightly indebted to you. Stop acting like it's something sinister and isn't a common practice all over the world. They did not know that Hamas would become the more violent. Since both parties run on the elimination of them from "ocean to the sea" (which means globally), there was no way to know that.

  256. Roe is going to be a nothing burger. A lot of states with the trigger laws are choosing more restrictions (see Tennessee) rather than an outright ban (see Oklahoma). I 100% expected that to happen, though I did figure it would take a couple of years to sort out the legislation on it. It also doesn't help that most of them already have a fairly low number of them performed already. I do believe, though, that companies encouraging workers to get them is a clear indication of our society's moral decay. I'm not some religious zealot and I also understand it's financially advantageous for the company. That doesn't change the social response to it which is cheering instead of shock.

To charge them when it's very cold, they have to be in a heated garage or on a heated floor. Edit: Doing fine in Arkansas despite negative wind chills. Nuclear power for the win!

  262.  MrBrenman  I'll explain. To short sale a stock, you loan it to Wallstreet at a certain price with the understanding you will buy it back at a certain date/time. The idea is you loan it to the market at like $4 a share. When the time is up, if it works, you buy it back at $2 a share and you doubled your money. You're betting on the stock going down instead of up. Since the stock went up, the hedge fund now owes all those people a lot of money because they HAVE to buy it back. The reason it's a nasty practice is because the hedge fund usually own enough of the stock that just flooding the market with their shares is enough to drive the price down. Edit to add: This also a common practice to do a hostile takeover. Then you liquidate the assets and make a ton because it cost you nothing to buy it.

  274. They don't "know". They are educated in market forces and how to recognize signs of a market shift. I'm not formally educated in it but can predict market shifts because I have an understanding of how an economy functions. This has been going to happen since the lockdowns. Government spending has kept it artificially afloat with things like the inflation act and Ukraine spending. This was inevitable. You can not practically shutdown an economy for almost 2 years without there being serious repercussions. The full impact of repercussions of government economic policies don't hit for about 10 years give or take. That's why the housing crash was Clinton' fault. It was the direct result of him getting rid of a very serious bank regulation that was there to prevent big swings in the market.

That or a passport (the other form of universal ID) allows you into federal buildings and you can't fly without one of them. Outside that, our Social security number that's issued at birth is also a national identification number. You don't know what you're talking about.

They went politically independent during Obama because "green" policies were screwing their members. Not all Unions are bad. They've saved many of the men from being unjustly fired since the oil refinery he works at got bought by Israelis. There have been two discrimination cases against them for firing someone that's became disabled. There are 6 workers in the hospital right now from an explosion caused by management not doing proper maintenance. We'll see if when the public scrutiny ends if they do what they're supposed to. If not, the Union lawyers are ready. Unlike a regular lawyer, they don't take a cut of the settlement either.

It's extremely disingenuous to criticize that while ignoring the thousands of nonprofit organizations that bring in 10times as much as a church and less than 10% is ever used for what it's set up for. The Salvation Army, one of if not the largest religious based nonprofits, makes sure over 80-90% of all donations go back into the communities they serve unlike say most Cancer "research" funding groups that bring in millions and only a tiny fraction goes to any research. Most is spent on parties and retreats for the people that work for the organizations and on the salary of the boards. They also buy real estate and everything else you have a problem with a Church doing but there's never a peep from anyone using your talking points (because that's what they are rather than based on any real look if it's true) about the evils of Churches.

  300.  @grimaffiliations3671  No. It's technically a double tax because that income has already been taxed to hell and back. It's not "new" income. It's a final tax on their savings after death and prevents upward mobility by way of reducing generational wealth which is the fastest way for a family to move up. My family as an example. We've been poor for hundreds of years. My children remember when we were poor. However because of the wealth my grandparents and me and my husband have accumulated in way of land ownership and investments, our grandchildren will never know what it's like to be poor. They'll escape it entirely and be middle class. An inheritance tax would remove a large chunk of that putting them back down making our efforts wasted. Edit: When it comes to stocks, that's a whole different thing because that's not real. It technically doesn't exist until you sell them. That's why it's called unrealized gains. They are not taxed until sold because until then it's not income.

That's why you'll see commercials for a candidate that say "paid for by People for ____" rather than it being paid for by the campaign. That's an ad created by a PAC.

  307.  @adamstevenson6444  It's not going to though. I don't know where you're getting that it will. It's wealth that's going to be taken from the Middle Class and given to the upper class. Most student debt is held by people with a Master's degree or higher. They will make tremendously more over their employment lifetime than those who didn't go. Lower class doesn't pay taxes already and most of them received scholarships and government grants to attend college so they hold little debt. The majority of the debt relief will go to doctors, those in STEM, attorneys, etc. The cutoff amount for income is $125,000 individual and $250,000 household. That's not the Middle Class. Middle Class is $80,000 for household. Edit: Plus this isn't ending the current student loan system or changing it all.

I'm sure it's going to attempt to strong arm by threatening funding if states don't comply like with the bathroom thing under Obama. Fortunately the last court decision was that the government can't do that.

  310. Yes on the surface, but not really too. You have to understand what they mean by "Whiteness" (capital letter). When it's capitalized like that, it means power specifically political power. Whiteness is anyone that follows the enlightenment. The reason they use these terms is because race is the pressure point in the US. It's similar to how Freud used sexual terms to define pleasure felt by children. It was easy for people to understand. CRT was also influenced by Freud which explains that part. They view every part of Western civilization as Whiteness even though you can look back on most civilizations and find elements of it, except Sub Sahara Africa. Even though that was some of the areas first settled by modern humans, they didn't seem to advance at anywhere near the pace of other civilizations around the world. That's why they argue black people aren't capable of thriving in Western civilization and so should be taught and treated that way by segregation to teach them like they are over there, or teach everyone like that. Edit: That's why it's attacking our educational institutions. Why you see things like "math is racist" even though we know math isn't an invention but a discovery made by every civilization on Earth. The attack on science is to implement things like witchcraft as just as valid or to replace the scientific method. So not only are they trying to bring about Communism, they are trying to destroy the US's ability to compete globally.

  314. The only reason the Democrats were ever able to convince anyone they were was because they had the backing of Unions.

  315.  @weneedcriticalthinking  Don't link opinion pieces as fact. They aren't. They are someone's opinion on what they think something might mean or what might happen based on their own individual biases. That's not proof. Trump's first 2 years were bad for the middle East, no one is disputing that. He's not a politician and was surrounded by people the GOP told him would be good. His entire term he only had a small handful of people around him that were trying to do what he wanted. Everyone else was doing everything they could to stop him. They constantly bragged about it in interviews. The main guy over the Middle East let it all out after he retired. The higher ups in the Pentagon were intentionally lying to the President and the people about troop numbers and what was going on. That's when Trump fired all of them at the Pentagon and put in people he knew he could trust and troops were brought home. Even Congress stepped in to prevent our withdrawal. No one is happy he didn't pardon Assange either. The thing is, nobody is perfect and everyone screws up. He screwed up a hell of lot less than most. Might I remind you Democrats wanted to drone strike Assange rather than even have a trial. Obama used drone strikes against US citizens abroad without them being convicted of anything. Snowden is another case entirely since he leaked information knowing it was illegal. He actually broke the law. Assange is a member of the press so he broke no laws and if he's convicted, that's the end of the free press guaranteed in the first amendment. As for Space Force, it's something that will be needed in the future. If you think those other countries weren't already thinking ahead like we were, I've got a bridge to sell you. It didn't escalate anything it just brought it out into the open. If anything the US is behind because Obama stripped NASA'S funding which is our primary space department.

Just like Abbott prosecuted that hairdresser. They both want to pretend they didn't do those things and were the least authoritarian during it when that's far from the truth. Unfortunately people have short memories.

  319. Feminism is inline with CRT. They are all in the realm of Critical Theory which is just replacing class struggle with <insert struggle here>. What we're currently seeing with the T from LGBT+ is as well. It's coming from multiple places because it was allowed to seep into social sciences unchallenged. What's really funny is papers like White Fragility were dismissed by academics when it was first published as her thesis so that shows how quickly this has all occurred.

  329.  @stvsmith1791  He's not saying create a business. Restaurants and especially fast food places used to be limited because people cooked for themselves and understood those things are a luxury. Now people consider them a necessity because they refuse to do it themselves which is cheaper and better for you. The "no" part is that a person on the right will say no I can't afford that because I need to save up for a car or pay bills, where as a person on the left will buy it because they like the convenience and then complain that the government needs to do more because they can't afford a car or pay their student loan. I've seen it. I'll ask someone complaining about student loan debt how they spend their money, and studies show this. They eat out every meal and buy Starbucks coffee every morning. Edit: I'm not blaming them 100% either. They were never taught how to cook so it never occurs to them. Most of them had both parents working who got home too late or were too tired to cook so picked up something on the way home. This is also why a massive number are obese.

  330.  @YargMonster  Awww mad that Apple is moving production out of China? The main reason a lot of manufacturing went there is because of cheap labor and no environmental regulation to drive down profit margins. Now that China is increasing pay and putting in regulations, it's time to move on. All manufacturing won't come back to the US, but essential supplies never should have gone there in the first place. How are the runs on banks doing over there? You know that only happens when the economy is about to collapse and people are worried the banks are failing. Repercussions for this virus and Hong Kong aren't going so well for y'all over there. Too bad so sad.

  346. $700,000 fine for every infraction. It'll destroy businesses. Fortunately, it doesn't meet the legal requirements for an OSHA regulation. In order for it to, the danger of serious injury has to be severe and provable beyond question. The virus doesn't meet that requirement. Unfortunately it will take awhile to get decided in the courts. Edit: Every new regulation also has to have an open discussion period that lasts several months for businesses and individuals to voice objections and show how it will negatively impact them. That's not been done either.

He got let off because of who he is. Imagine a murderer, "I'm going to fight this charge because it's unconstitutional" Judge: "It's perfectly fine to continue to walk the streets while you do so". That's the dumbest claim in defense of him getting a slap on the wrist for a charge with a 5 year minimum yet.

  360. Having come from a smaller town with a slim majority of black people, I'd say it's pretty accurate. Even going by discussions I've had with a large group on a YouTube video it rings true. Unlike Scott, I don't believe it's justified in the slightest unless that number was coming from the elderly who did live through some it. It's interesting how groups that were treated similarly and even worse view huwhit people vs how they view them. They may not trust huwhite people, but they don't actively hate them or think there's anything wrong with being born that way. The government is the target of their anger. The opposite is true of black people. They beg the government to take care of them and blame the individual for the government's actions. Edit: I do believe it stems from how it's discussed in school. For Natives the government forced them to move, the government paid for our scalps, the government broke treaties and stole land, the government forced our kids into boarding schools, etc. For the other group it's taught individuals owned slaves, individuals didn't want it to end, individuals lynched, individuals killed, etc.

  363. That's not how it works. Fewer people working means a smaller economy. That means that benefits to older people can't be reimbursed by existing taxes. Which means taxes go up or services decline. As it continues to shrink, it reaches a crisis level to where the standard of living begins to drop. If you do not have enough workers, industry leaves to find them. You're basically admitting openly you don't understand how an economy functions and stupidly think less means more of the pie for you, when it really means a shrinking pie. Edit: Every time there's been a baby boom, there's been a corresponding drastic increase in technology shortly behind it. We haven't had one since after WWII, and you can see our advancements have drastically slowed as a result. You want the benefits a booming society offers without the booming society. That's not how it works. A shrinking society causes decline and eventually disappears.

  364. ​​ @user-ch6um1vn8x  No. Both of you don't get it. A smaller society doesn't mean a bigger slice of the pie. It means a smaller and decreasing pie for you overall. If businesses can't find workers, and grow they simply close and go somewhere else. People came to the US because it gave them opportunities. Those opportunities disappear without a society to maintain them.

I've seen protests outside of Churches because they dare teach that being gay isn't supported by their religion and trying to force them to perform gay marriages. If they're doing that, they're also pressuring lawmakers. Edit: No comment said anything about "outlawing" atheist marriage. I have no idea where that came from or why you felt the need to attempt to add it into the conversation. Religious ceremonies are also legally binding marriage ceremonies. Otherwise you'd also have to married by a justice of the peace on top of your religious ceremony. At no point in US history has it been legally required that marriage be only performed by a religious institution.

  375.  @MrAlucard7  You think Afghanistan is going to invade the US or try to take over the world like Germany? That's a terrible comparison. It may sound heartless, but I'm not a bleeding heart liberal. There are far worse atrocities happening all over the world, am I supposed to send my sons to die there too? Once Bin Laden was dead, we had no business being there. Bush and Obama are responsible because one started it and the other refused to leave because it would look bad for his legacy. We are NOT the world's police. No matter who was President, the Taliban were going to seize back control once we left because the Afghan people want a government controlled by Islam. The only people I feel responsible for are my fellow citizens this buffoon left behind instead of evacuating first. That's what Biden and his voters are responsible for and any tragedy that befalls them. No one else is my country's responsibility. Edit: You're making an emotional argument like a lefty. Thinking like that is why thousands of my citizens are dead, maimed, and mentally broken. That's what was used to convince the people to feed the war machine and keep us there for 20 years accomplishing nothing.

  377.  @InherentlyFree  It's the vague language using offended instead of spelling it out. It means if I go onto your property and say ANYTHING you don't like I can be arrested, prosecuted, and stripped of my rights for the rest of my life. The complaint is fliers being spread around neighborhoods. If my flier blows onto your property, I lose my rights. Harrassment and all that is already illegal with hate crime laws that can attach to it. As a Christian, I go in a neighborhood to spread the word and someone is offended, I'm off to prison. It's one of those laws people think are fine when they're in power and scream bloody murder against when they aren't anymore and it's used against you. Edit: Example would be a Soros prosecutor in a big city, which have been elected in Florida. I put out fliers saying a meeting of Republicans is happening at a time and place. A black person says that's a racist attack because Republicans are racists. The prosecutor takes the case and runs with it. It's extremely shortsighted and under a naive belief that it won't be abused.

  378. It depends on where the lawsuit is filed. Trump appointed a huge number of judges. About half are effective. There are massive lawsuits coming for everything that's been happening from the mask mandates to all the new election laws. Facebook is already facing an antitrust suit by the feds and 48 states. We're entering a moral panic and it's always been court rulings that have gotten it in control before. They unfortunately take a lot of time.

  379.  @Hirome_Satou  The reconciliation is a different bill. It's a budget reconciliation that only needs a simple majority to pass. It's 3.5 trillion and the infrastructure bill is 1 trillion. It's doubtful the budget reconciliation will pass. That's where everything removed from the first infrastructure bill got moved to. I don't think the breathalyzer will be upheld by the courts because it's already punishment for breaking the law. Tracking chips can be removed or jam. One of the most troubling part that I see is that it creates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as now government agencies and requires them to back bad credit loans which is what caused the 2008 crash.

  380.  @BarefootInAK  Butter not oil. Oil creates a completely different flavor. It's double the flour to fat ratio. It depends on the dish as to how dark or light you make. Cajun is going to be coffee colored and that takes awhile, Creole it should be caramel colored, and milk/white gravy the flour should cook no more than 3 minutes just to cook out the flour taste. It's better if you use seasoned flour too. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can add some red pepper as well if you want it hotter. Edit: Cast iron works best for browning too. I suggest watching some old Justin Wilson shows. He's a hoot, but his recipes are good. If you're making giblet gravy for Thanksgiving, the roux should be coffee colored. I brown the flour before I add it to the fat for that and it should be almost burnt, but that's because I start prepping stuff 3 days before. I highly recommend that gravy. The ingredients sound disgusting, but it's amazing.

The people are fighting waking up because it's frightening what is really happening and it's easier to not believe your lying eyes. Since they've been told and believe everything will go back to normal now that orange man is gone, when it doesn't they'll be forced to confront reality.

  388. Where were they being held? If it’s inside a building, yes that’s perfectly legal. The buildings are private property. Protests are for outside on the sidewalk. It also depends on if their speech crossed into threatening. That’s also illegal. You can’t threaten physical harm. I’m also pretty sure Columbia is a private university and therefore not subject to first amendment protections. That’s only for state run schools. That’s why private schools can be religious. Edit: Know your rights includes knowing where they don’t apply.

  400. I was born in 72 and remember it. It's amazing that when something is that impactful, you remember it's effects even though you were young. Nobody could afford a car or house. You had to be careful how much you drove because gas was hard to come by and expensive because it was rationed. If it wasn't in season, it wasn't available in the grocery stores. It's hard to imagine why the powers that be would intentionally cause an energy crisis knowing what happens. Most of them were alive to remember it, so they don't have that excuse.

  403. These things hit larger cities and the towns just on the outskirts the first and hardest. It's because they only stock about 2-3 days worth of goods at a time. In smaller areas it's not going to be as noticeable because these aren't items that get restocked nearly as often. Other than the chicken shortage, when they killed a bunch of them, they haven't affected where I currently am either. Even then, it was just the large packages that were hard to come by. There's still baby formula (though not every type), tampons, and socks. There's no sign limiting the amount of baby formula you can purchase either. Edit: Where I moved from got hit with the winter storm that knocked out power in Texas. Delivery trucks couldn't get into town for a week. The stores were just running out of food and gas when they were able to get in. Had it been a big city, they'd have run out within a couple of days and food would have to be flown in.

That's why in states like mine, the economy is doing fine and is already almost back to pre pandemic unemployment. We aren't hurting and small businesses are flocking here. Keep being salty.

I appreciate the apology as well, but he's going to have to prove it with his future actions before many will trust this isn't just a grift. Not only does he have a reputation, but he was proud of what he's done. It's like asking an abused woman to take back her partner just because he brought her flowers and said sorry.

  409.  @Jim-gl3uk  We've been buying half a cow for a few years, but we did it when I was younger for decades so I already was aware of that as an option. It's a big upfront cost, but it averages out to way cheaper than any grocery store. My filets cost the same as my ground beef. Unfortunately the government is trying to stop it. There's a case right now against an Amish farmer they are trying to use to extend the Commerce clause to include local farms. They're trying to force them into requiring inspection before they can be sold. They even made him get the food he served his children inspected. Every farmer should be watching this case and everyone that enjoys farmer's markets. This case will spell the end to them.

They've been held in solitary confinement for years now and had their water turned off for days and subjected to torture. Most are being held on trespassing charges, a misdemeanor.

I don't do their seafood much because it comes from farms in Peru or other places rather than wild caught. It's also the only place you can get lamb.

That's never been the case, but now it is because the government needs it to be. Same with herd immunity. Now it says by vaccination only.

The Constitution is pretty clear about the chain of events that must occur for a President to be criminally charged for crimes committed in office. Civil litigation they're not immune from obviously. The Supreme Court found that way because the Constitution explicitly says high crimes which is criminal court, not civil court.

  424. I love that throughout that period the media only focused on Texas when 13 states were suffering massive power outages and rolling blackouts. I think it was Mississippi that had just as many without power for the same amount of time. My town maintained power, but no delivery trucks could get in for over a week so we were running out of food and gas. Not a peep from the media or federal government about us. No help offered, no nothing. I guess we could have starved because it wasn't politically useful to notice us. Edit: Our hydroelectric froze so we had issues for about 2 days, but we're on the federal grid so they didn't want to call attention to it.

It's ended up with a lot of dead birds which are necessary for pollination.

Those salaries would have been paid anyway, because they would still be working no matter where he was, but people like to remove that from the normal expenditure column and put it in the added expense one. The only thing additional that taxpayers paid was for their room, not his. At least it wasn't a cocaine and hooker filled stay like it was under Obama.

  438.  @thomasflores7817  Studies done shows big tech influenced the election by around 30% by suppressing stories and not allowing certain political ads. When it comes to TV, election laws say that each candidate must have equal time to prevent that. Those rules aren't currently in place for online so it needs to be corrected. That alone destroys the narrative of a "free and fair election". We had a 3 year investigation into possible Russian interference and now nobody wants to investigate any of the current claims. Voting and democracy only work as long as the population has faith in the system. That was a concern 4 years ago and the number who believe this election wasn't right is higher than then and now it's ignored. Around 1/3 of Democrats believe this was a fraudulent election and over 80% of Republicans. I hopefully don't have to tell you what happens when the majority lose faith in the system.

  439.  @texasswade8453  The reason the military isn't bombing Afghanistan right now is because we have a low supply of short range missiles which are what we use in the Middle East. That's because 3 years ago we stopped producing as many and instead switched to long range missiles in preparation for a war with China or North Korea. Leaving Afghanistan isn't the failure. Even the Taliban taking control isn't the failure. The failure is not evacuating our people before we left. The reason the Taliban taking control isn't a failure is because the majority of the citizenry support pretty much everything they represent. You can't claim to support self governing of free countries and then call their self government a failure just because it's not what you want. Pretty much no country in the Middle East will ever be able to have and sustain a Western type government because Islam is too prevalent and dictates a system of governance. China is using us leaving for PR for their people. Every statement they make is to prove to their population how "strong" they are to keep them inline. The USSR did the same thing, as does Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea.

  440. Lot of ignorant people in the comments. Hunting dogs aren't pets. They're kept in a large pen outside. They aren't in the house. They aren't coddled. There's a very strict emotional distance kept between the dogs and the owner. There can be no blurring of the line between master and dog. Just like you can't pet an assistance dog while it's working because it causes confusion for the dog. These are working dogs not companion dogs. There's no friendship. It's a mutual beneficial relationship. The dog performs its job in exchange for easy food. If the dog can't, won't, or causes problems it's useless and has no future. Because it hasn't been socialized like a companion dog would be while young, it's not going to magically become a good companion. Edit: If you own a working breed, they become depressed if they don't perform some type of job. I've only owned working breeds and each one had something they did to "help" me or that they were taught to do daily. Otherwise they become depressed, aggressive, and destructive. So if you remove the task, like this dog did on its own, it became aggressive and destructive. They are animals, not humans. Just like any animal they can become wild and turn on you no matter how much training you do. People need to remember that.

Too many people now worry that that makes us look like bullies or whatever. They don't understand we have to at least appear to be bullies for protection. Hopefully now they'll understand. If we had a President that projected strength, this wouldn't be happening.

  449. No they won't. Thomas and Kavennaugh have been chomping at the bit for a case like this. They feel like the Chicago decision wasn't taken seriously by these states and cities. It said that no city/state can ban gun ownership. They see these things as a work around for that decision. I agree with Styx, they'll make it shall so they have to issue permits. I'd love Constitutional carry, but I'd be shocked if it happens. Mainly because of state's rights issues is why it will be shall. Cities were able to limit cannon use at the beginning so I expect that to be the default.

  450. I agree. It's no different than that decision by the Supreme Court. That didn't stop the baker from being sued again. This is about a Colorado law though that they put in after that case.

  454. That was a crazy nasty deal. On top of his daily content he has to do a documentary yearly, a monthly meet up, and a quarterly special with only 4 weeks off his daily show to do it. That's insane. A documentary takes a professional used to doing them 1-2 years of research and filming alone. His whole trying to act like doing all that isn't as much work as regular people do is total bs too. Also they'd own all his income from his standup shows as well, if they allow him to do it. It's also clear they won't allow Dave to host. The disability clause was disgusting too. So he makes nothing while they continue to collect my money that I'm paying to make sure he's taken care of? I've seen better music contracts. The whole "he was my friend" crap was nauseating too. If that's what you send a "friend" you admit is worth way more than that, then what contracts do all the other guys have? They sold their souls. Edit: He made the video because people already figured it out and they were getting backlash and losing subs. This isn't going to go well for them and they just ruined themselves.

Do what you want as long as it doesn't violate someone else's rights. It's basically what this country was founded on. Just like everything there are extremists who don't want any government or taxes, but most understand the necessity of them. When you see us talk about the importance of property rights you have to understand that that includes our person/body. Anything that is yours falls under property rights.

You are confusing little l with big L. You seem radicalized and unhinged. Good luck with that.

  458. Unfortunately I've seen so many people trying to claim that because Twitter said no sometimes it means it wasn't a violation of the first amendment.

It was after spring planting so it didn't effect food prices that much. That will hit this fall and next spring because fertilizer will be in short supply. Which will continue to drive food prices even higher and reduce supply because crop yields will be lower without them. That's why he said January or February it will all come to a head.

  464. As far as Kathy Griffin goes, it's not art or parody to just take someone else's name and put childish words in their mouth. That's what elementary kids do. It's basically on the level of repeating everything someone says in a goofy voice. Children don't find that funny much less adults. Parody would be the SNL skit of Clinton, Monica, and the other leader on the phone together. It's taking a real world event and making fun of it. She's supposedly a professional comedian so she should know that. He was 100% correct in banning her because she and others broke the rules. He's also made it clear, under his leadership, there's a path to redemption and getting your account back. The fact she broke another rule by using her dead mother's account to avoid the ban should have ended up in a much longer ban, but Musk showed mercy. I never had a problem with most of the rules. I had a problem with them being selectively enforced.

Environment can, such as poor or growing up in a slum, but not race. Period. That's the court's decision. Edit: Tell me where you got your law degree or at least what law courses you at least took to proclaim yourself more an expert than every other lawyer in the US. That's as stupid an argument as trying to claim the Bruen decision only applies to New York because it was focused on the laws there.

Leaving them chained up for hours in the yard and never spending time with it except to show it to others. Not to mention the dog fight rings.

  495. Hello person who didn't watch the video. Unemployment claims are already increasing. Most people have already burned through their savings. You're seeing all streaming platforms losing subscribers, ticket sales to leisure events dropping, etc. There has been zero job growth since 2020. We have not come close to to reclaiming the jobs lost from lockdowns. Labor participation, which was already low, is dropping further. As someone in the top 10% income bracket, we're having to cut back on spending. If I'm having to watch my spending what makes you think the other 90% aren't? Keep smoking the copium. Edit: The car market bubble just popped. The other bubbles will soon follow. There's global food shortages, but I guess an increase of millions starving to death means everything's fine to you. You don't cause an economic depression by talking about it. That's got to be the dumbest thing I'll see all day. A depression occurs when there is negative or no GDP growth for several quarters.

  496. Elon vouched for Roth at the beginning too. He's naive it seems which isn't surprising since he came to be in his position at a very young age. Him clearly being on the spectrum doesn't help either. He gives people the benefit of the doubt until they give him a reason to think otherwise. He's already attacked Dorsey about cutting the group responsible for getting rid of CP, so I don't think Dorsey is thought of as highly by Musk already.

  497. I remember it too, though I was younger. We hunted, fished, and grew our food. I got so sick of beans I still have a hard time eating them to this day. Gas lines were insane and nobody could afford a new car. We NEVER went out to eat. Hell, we didn't even have AC. We had a big industrial fan in the attic with a door covering it. We'd pull it open, open all the windows, and turn it on to circulate air. I was in the delta with 100 degree heat and over 90% humidity.

  498. What was he charged with? Sorry but that's some crap information to ask anyone to make a real judgment call on. You only provided enough to illicit an emotional response, which I'd wager is intentional. Since most of the actual violence occurred outside the Capital, it doesn't require someone going inside to be charged with something. Obviously it was more than trespassing. Edit: He obviously admitted to a crime. Would you call it being convicted on speech if it's someone confessing to their friend they murdered someone? Of course not. I don't like manipulation no matter what side of the aisle it comes from. If he committed violence he should be held accountable. The only people that shouldn't be being put on trial is the people who didn't participate in the violence and only walked into the Capital through the doors.

  499.  @somuchfortalent  It doesn't matter because it's still an ethics violation regardless of the jurisdiction. Otherwise lawyers couldn't commit crimes which they most certainly can, including accessory. Just like a psychologist has an ethical requirement to report abuse or if a patient intends to commit a crime against someone else like try to kill them or attack them. Confidentiality has a limit and that limit is the commission of a crime. This is gone over in detail in law school ethics class and in ethics class in psychology. Edit: Just like you can't hide evidence from the court, can't intentionally toss a case, can't misrepresent your client, etc. Lots of ethics when you're a servant of the court which includes lawyers, psychologists, social workers, etc.

I wonder if he was fully aware of how bad things are going during a cognitive moment, if he'd want to change things. We'll never know. There's an agenda that the people he's put in charge have and he's just a puppet for the DNC.

How times change. Jackson was similar as well and there were many others too. The US being more prominent on the world stage is the only reason we set those types of standards now on the President. This idea that they should be looked at like royalty is against everything this country was built on. Edit: Our politicians used to duel and get in brawls.

  505. Same in Arkansas. We were one of the last to shutdown and only did it for a bit over a month. In some areas our unemployment is 6.5 to 5.5%. We'd been sitting at around 3.4% unemployment for a couple of years before the shutdowns. Most red states have come through this much better than most blue ones. We didn't suffer as much economic loss and our death rate tends to be lower. In fact death rates are lower in states that didn't totally shutdown than in states with long and severe shutdowns. It looks like it was a failed experiment, but at least we'll have a better understanding of how to handle it the next time. Partial shutdowns and only go full shutdown for hotspots.

Russia invades a small former state, the other small former states get scared and ask to join NATO, rinse and repeat.

You're "killing children" is totally inaccurate and unscientific. Meanwhile statics show a huge increase in suicide, child abuse (including molestation and rape), in heart attack deaths, and long term consequences for cancer patients and others that had surgeries and treatments postponed due to the lockdowns. All of those deaths are far more than from the virus. That's from several articles and Bill Gates. The worldwide effect for 3rd world countries is going to be catastrophic. So the evidence isn't antecedent, it's real and it's horrible.

  520. Shortly after that, he started praising states that had begun reopening. I was in one of the last states to lockdown and we were only in that situation for about a month. What people forget is that was shortly after the explosion of cases in New York that caused the hospital ship to be sent there. It ended up not being needed, but news out of there was dire for awhile. People fleeing the cases/lockdowns in New York caused 60% of the spreading that occurred after that. My governor always based decisions on hospitalizations instead of case numbers so we were able to not destroy our economy and didn't have severe lockdowns like you saw in New York and Minnesota.

  526.  @OriginalBongoliath  "Fight for the Fatherland in WWI and WWII". Russia was barely involved in WWI because they had a communist revolution occur. Ukraine had already been taken by the USSR before WWII. So they didn't "sign up to fight for the Fatherland". They were conscripted. After they had been starved. Ukraine broke from the USSR in 1991. At which point Russia promised not to ever invade. Signed that agreement to remove nukes from the country. Ukraine wanted to keep them as a deterrent from an eventual Russian invasion. They don't "speak the same language" either. The official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian just as the official language of Japan is Japanese. So you claiming they're Russian and should be, by force, become a part of Russia again means you're just ignoring the past 100 years of history. Edit: You're also apparently ignorant of Putin's proclamation that anywhere there are Russian speakers belongs to Russia which would include New York because it has a large population of former citizens of the USSR and Russia. He's using the fact that the USSR intentionally mixed up the populations when he took over an area to keep the population fearful of their neighbors. So every country that used to be a part of the USSR has Russian speakers. Meaning he's laying claim to every former Soviet state.

I just read it because I had read before it wasn't going to be eminent domain but volunteered. They aren't allowed over 160 acres either. I don't agree with this at all. I also doubt they'll get enough willing participation to get anywhere near their goal. At that point I could see a change in it to a more forceful land acquisition. Given that I am female and mixed race, I might jump on it just to seriously show how stupid it is. I only have to prove one of my parents is black so a DNA test would suffice I imagine. My biological father was adopted and he was put up for adoption because he's passing. This was in the 40s. Meanwhile, when I get a bit of a tan I look more Native because I've got that on my mother's side. Without one I'm porcelain white. Better yet, my blue eyed blonde hair son should.

  535.  @VicePresidentKamala  That may be true where you lived, but not where I lived. Nobody got fined or arrested for not obeying the edicts during the pandemic in my town. We had threats to tear down the Confederate monument so armed citizens protected it 24/7 with blessings from the police. If riots broke out, every area had a plan in place to block the streets and arm the neighborhoods. The difference is in my town Chief of police is an elected office instead of appointed by the Mayor. They work with the Mayor, but are not under his/her control. Our state also put in laws that if any ATF agent is working within the state without permission from local law enforcement, they will be arrested and physically removed from the state. If they attempt to come to confiscate the weapons of law abiding citizens, they will be meet with force according to laws as well. If your state and local government isn't willing to defend your rights, I suggest voting in one that will.

  536.  @missygoldstein12  Even before Roe every state allowed it for life of the mother. Health of the mother is not well defined legally and it's how states have gotten away with up to birth. Stress from finances can fall under "health". Then there's the problem that in most real cases where the mother's health is effected, that's not seen until later in pregnancy and the cure is giving birth. That begs the question of why kill the baby? Why can't the baby be delivered and allowed to live? Killing it serves no purpose. So again it comes down to simple convenience for the mother. For everything else you mentioned, it's up to voters to decide. It was never a right. Even the Roe decision didn't claim that it was because it recognized there's a point that it conflicts with the state's interest. That wording makes it a privilege by definition because a right can't be limited by the state's interest.

Before you pull the rEaL CoMmuNisM has never been tried, it was by Vietnam and it failed miserably the 2 times they did it. The fact that no other country that's tried it has managed to reach the final stage is a testament to the failure of the foundation of it. You are also failing to acknowledge there are different types of Marxism. In China it was cultural Marxism which is what BLM is supporting. You aren't a recognized expert on Marxism. You're a random person on the internet. You have no qualifications to determine what is and isn't Marxism. Basically you're nothing and have no authority over anyone else. You don't personally know the women that created BLM so have no idea what they are thinking or planning to determine they aren't "real" Marxist.

  552. No, they have not read it or they'd know it didn't make abortion a right. It clearly states that there's a point where the interest of the state (protection of life of its citizens) outweighs the rights of the woman. No other right has a stipulation of the government's interest being able to terminate the right. That makes it a privilege. Plus it was under the right to privacy which technically only exists when dealing with the judicial process. It used that to create a right to medical privacy. Even today that (right to medical privacy) only exists when dealing with the judicial process. Edit: The right to privacy doesn't extend to private searches. A private citizen can search your home and turn anything criminal they find over to the police, as long as they were not instructed to do so by the police. The right to privacy was intentionally limited by the Constitution. That was so it wouldn't interfere in cases between citizens.

The DOW dropping does as does how many people are trying to purchase a particular stock.

Trump was arguing they should end pretty quickly as well because he said the cure shouldn't be worse than the disease. Now you can get him on the relief packages, but again had he not signed them he would have been overridden. He still was a little too gung ho on those for my taste, but I understand it was an election year and a no win situation. It's thanks to his policies before the coof that kept the US from going into an economic crisis so credit where credit is due.

Nobody suddenly declared them vital, they were always that. Are you trying to claim Unions have no power and no political power? They aren't allowed to basically hold the entire country hostage and tank the economy as a negotiation tactic. If builders go on strike in NYC, it only impacts construction in NYC. It doesn't damage the entire economy or affect millions of people outside NYC. The workers voted to take the contract. Nobody voted for them. They said yes. To pretend the majority or the Union didn't vote because you don't like the outcome of it is you hoping most people don't understand how they function. Edit: My grandfather, father, and husband were all Union Presidents and ran contract negotiations before you try to cry more or claim I don't know anything.

He told the judge they were just pushing it into the street to block police and not trying to push it to the gas station. The judge's face was priceless. Edit: Remember the defense doesn't have to prove self defense. The prosecution has to prove it wasn't.

  578.  @j.joseph5353  Colic is stomach issues, usually gas. It's worse with formula feed babies. Sometimes it's just normal gas because babies are getting accustomed to their stomach working and producing it, or if it's excessive it can mean something is wrong in the digestive system. Gas bubbles can be uncomfortable for adults who understand what it is. Babies don't know so they cry from the discomfort of them.

  579. The government of Louisiana and New Orleans was to blame. They didn't call for an evacuation until the 11th hour and kept downplaying it. Everyone living in New Orleans knew the levee was going to break at some point because they knew the money to keep it updated was being used for other things. New Orleans didn't even get directly hit by the hurricane. It was the storm surge that did it.

  583. The problem with using rulers DNA to define the makeup of the area is that Egypt was constantly being taken over. The rulers weren't the same as the people that resided in the area except in the earliest dynasties. Saying there were people from multiple places in Egypt also isn't some grand discovery since it was a major trading hub between Europe and other parts of the world. There's a reason all the world's knowledge was stored in Alexandria. DNA shows that native Egyptians (called Nubian) most likely looked like people found in Iraq today.

  586. The only reason China wants Taiwan is because it's the manufacturing center for computer chips globally. The US is subsidizing the building of chip manufacturing being built in the US by a Taiwanese company. That's what Pelosi was there about. China is only looking at Taiwan like it looked at Hong Kong. As an economic boom. China seized Hong Kong because they were facing economic troubles and Hong Kong was a huge global economic center. If chip manufacturing gets moved to the US, it means there's no longer a reason to invade Taiwan. It creates security for the region. It's bad for China though because it removes them being able to take Taiwan and control the world's supply of computer chips. That's why China tried to flex, but it won't stop the deal from moving forward. Edit: Sorry Styx, but you didn't mention any of that which means you aren't fully aware of what that was about. It wasn't a diplomatic visit. It was a business one.

  587.  @elinope4745  The alphabet is a letter system every language has. Letters aren't alive so can't be oppressed or need freedom. Nobody is oppressed in the US. Nobody has or should have anymore rights than anyone else. It's illegal to discriminate, there are no laws imprisoning anyone based on those identifiers. Explain this "oppression". Explain the legal rights not afforded. You can't because there aren't any. They can vote, marry, be employed, can protest, enjoy free speech, can own firearms, etc. All the same rights as everyone else. What you don't have the right to do is force your beliefs on others. You can't legislate people like you. You can't violate other people's rights because you don't like what they say. You can't keep others from protesting against things.

  588. I'm loving everyone holding up this story of the 10 year old as if it's 100% factual. People are ignoring it's from the same papers that have lied repeatedly to push their own ideological beliefs. It's that effect where if you know about a story you know what's written is false, but you forget it when you turn the page. There's zero proof been offered to substantiate it. No records or anything, but since it plays into people's arguments, it's obviously true. It's very convenient that she got it anyway so there's not going to be a record of a 10 year old giving birth. Let's just ignore that the incest wouldn't have even mattered because at that age it would have fallen under a risk to the life of the mother by any medical standard, meaning every state allows that so she could have gotten one under every current law. That doesn't play as well into the fear and doesn't make a good talking point.

It depends on how many in total there are, how much is held by silent mutual funds, etc. The guy that they made a movie about who was notorious for taking over and selling off companies in pieces does it with 10-20% stock control. He's currently trying to take the company my husband worked for. He only needs 1 board member to side with him to oust the current CEO and put in his own.

  596. This is a normal cycle throughout our history. There have been times the system was far more corrupt than it is now. It always gets corrected by a similar movement by the people, even usually populous a one. Garfield is a similar example. He got elected on a populous wave, lost his second term because of similar reasons, and won again because people realized he was right. Even if it's not Trump in 4 years, it will be a populous candidate because these movements don't tend to stop until they reach their goal. Those educated in such matters say that if it succeeds, it will reinvigorate the US for 100-200 more years. I'm not implying to sit back and wait either. It takes the people standing up for this work. It also takes normal people running for office to fulfill the vision of the people.

Just like the idiots that claim because a small group arrived in the Americas before the current native population in an area they are the "real" natives even though they only lasted 100 years.

  601.  @vodkaru5907  He didn't say those agreements mean anything to China. They do mean something in the eyes of the rest of the world. The point the post makes, that you ignored, is that China doesn't have a legitimate reason other than to take control of a sovereign country, to invade Taiwan. Meaning that doing so will be a violation of international law which requires a response from all powers in the area and the world. Edit: Also if China invades Taiwan, that's a direct threat to the sovereignty of Japan which allows Japan's massive Navy to counteract China's. China is aware of that and has threatened to nuke Japan. As has been discussed before, generally whenever a leader threatens nuclear war, it isn't coming from a place of strength. That's a sign of weakness.

  603. The biggest proponent of multiculturalism, Merkel, declared it a failed idea years ago. The US was the only place that could pull it off, and that's because we had no long culture to take from. So, taking in different ones and pulling the best from them and discarding the rest worked. The problem now is there's a loud group saying that no, you have to separate them and keep them all intact. That will never work. You have to be very strict about what's acceptable and what's not to maintain any cohesiveness.

  604. I think the current moralism that's rearing up is due to the pushes on the things you mentioned. Post term abortions (I don't think after viability because why not just remove it instead of kill it), the top surgeries that's escalating in young girls, the sex stuff to children, etc. The backlash was going to come. I just hope we can keep it from going too far back. Hopefully most see the line and won't allow it to be crossed. Gay marriage is fine and it's only a tiny fraction that don't agree with it. The main thing is to not elevate that small minority like the left has done. Don't pander to them and it should settle back down. The other concern is how bad Democrats are going to make it on their way out. How far will the power grab go and what will be left afterwards. The shining light is the Supreme Court if they can hold onto their balls through it. That's Trump's true legacy. We'll see with these coming decisions how far they'll go.

  605. ​​ @failboy6901 ​ That's not capitalism. Capitalism doesn't involve the government making it easy for companies to import labor. Capitalism is simply the free trade between two entities. The US doesn't have a capitalist economy. It's mixed. It's capitalistic mixed with several other economic models and theories. Maybe critique the actual economic model instead of just crying capitalism. Edit: The US scores low on the economic freedom index, which measures how many things come between the consumer and the product. Which determines how capitalistic a country's economy is.

  606.  @human151  I'm not sure why people are still claiming there weren't any thinking that was the reason we went. We went because he wasn't in compliance with the deal reached after he invaded Kuwait. Because he didn't allow inspectors like he was supposed to and didn't have records of destroying the weapons that he said he had, he was in direct violation of the truce reached following the Gulf War. If you break a truce and agreement, there are consequences. Sanctions were placed, but European countries were ignoring them and breaking their own sanctions by quietly purchasing oil. So I guess everyone was just supposed to ignore he broke the truce and agreements and do nothing. I knew the UN no longer has the backbone to enforce its decisions and agreements when they kept ignoring him not allowing in their inspectors.

As much as he likes to talk about being homeless and being the victim of racism, he's very privileged. It's easy when you only care about yourself. It's completely different when you're responsible for the wellbeing of other people you love. It was refreshing when he admitted the other night that he never wants anyone dependent on him because it terrifies him, but that didn't stop him from yelling at people that do for not fighting back and jeopardizing their families.

  614. The original projection was Republicans take the House, but not the Senate because the Senate seats up for grabs were in fairly blue areas. The fact so many of them were that close is a huge win and a clear message to Democrats. It's not some dramatic loss. I think when the dust settles it'll end up at the original projected numbers. What Republicans do need to do is loosen the purse strings in these areas. Areas that should have been blowouts for the Democrats weren't and they way overspent Republicans. The fact Oz was even close to beating Fetterwoman is huge and I don't think people really understand that, but I guarantee the Democrats do. While they'll spin it publicly as this huge win for them, it wasn't.

  618.  @VengefulPolititron  What? You need to learn history. Victimless crimes weren't crimes until recently. We've had a gay President. Everyone knew he was. His opponents wrote about constantly, yet he was elected anyway. Women were allowed to marry each other in the 1800s, drugs weren't illegal until prohibition, and various other "morality" laws. Sure you can find them in city ordinances but they weren't national until recently. The idea that it's fine as long as it doesn't violate someone else's rights is what this country was founded on. It wasn't founded on religious principles or what was "moral" because those can change and differs from person to person. We have pursuit of happiness enshrined in our Constitution for that reason. Judging by your rant, you don't care for the Constitution so maybe you should join the crazies trying to overthrow it.

Things being bad here, doesn't even begin to compare to how bad my life would be there. In fact my life here is awesome because I can choose to live in an area with people who have similar values and laws that I agree with because the state still determines a lot more than the federal government. I can still say whatever I want and can own firearms. I can hunt and grow my own food and raise my children how I wish. I can get in my car and drive wherever I wish without the government checking my app to make sure I'm allowed.

You're confusing rights and privileges and missing that rights come with an understood responsibility. Even some of the most extreme Libertarians don't hold that view.

So because there is a small number of hieroglyphs depicting them, it was used to claim that as tombs were uncovered by white archaeologists they painted over the other hieroglyphs to claim Egyptian history as white. I wish I was kidding. I guess just ignore that they aren't depicted as white but as a brown color. Netflix race swapping Cleopatra is extremely ignorant because it will only keep that myth alive.

What's happening right now is how it's supposed to be done. There are always different factions within each party. This negotiation is just usually handled behind the scenes, before the vote. It's been so long since there's been such a strong faction, people are misinterpreting what's going on and that's because the parties have gotten more centralized as people shifted around. At the local levels, there was a red wave and the Freedom motivated won. A lot. That's how taking control of a party works. It's from the ground up, not the top down. Advocating for it to be done top down is an authoritarian move and being upset that it's not over night is childish. It took the extremists decades to infiltrate and grab power in the Democratic party, this is moving at lightening speed compared to other times.

Neither of which I agree with. The Libertarian party is too extreme, but libertarian ideas are not. It also depends on what you mean by libertarian. Many classical liberals fall within that range, but aren't represented by the Libertarian party either. Edit: Then there's the fact, the higher ups in the party are completely clueless about foreign affairs. They would be terrible on a world stage, which like it or not, we're a part of. Even the current group which I'm okay with them domestically. They don't believe past agreements should be honored. They don't seem to understand that if we sever those agreements it would have a horrible impact on our trade and we'd lose access to most items we purchase because we import almost everything, including medicine. Which means they'd cause a lot of death and not understand why. I'm not sure they'd care because most of them are anarchists and I trust them with power as much as I would a commie.

  643.  @Lurch685  I wasn't aware the middle and upper class are the most vulnerable group. If you're lower class you qualify for grants and usually get paid to go to college. Most of the student debt is held by people with a Master's degree or above meaning they are already going to be making far more over their lifetime than most people. The debt relief is for individuals making up to $125,000 and $250,000 for couples. That's upper class. We make around $120,000 as a couple and that puts us in the upper middle class. Edit: That's not including all the scholarships and discounts you get based on race and gender. The interest rate should be there to cover inflation at least. They are borrowing taxpayer money so it should get paid back in the equal monetary amount for that year. Show me a loan for anything that doesn't include interest. Welcome to being an adult.

  651. The Fort Worth Log Cabin Republican thing isn't what's being said (shocker). They weren't kicked out of the convention. They just weren't allowed a booth and never have been. The leader quit and created another group to remove the LGBTQ+ from it, even though it will still champion their issues, because of what's going on within that community now. A committee member on the board that votes on booths had unexpected died leaving a spot open. So the head of the committee didn't break the split vote to keep the vote fair and even numbered. Most small groups don't even want booths because it ties their members up tending it instead of working the floor which is more productive. Edit: Considering how the LGBTQ+ has been hijacked by intersectionality, I understand completely why the original head if the group is trying to move away from it. I also understand why, after that split in the group, they voted against the booth. The person they'd grown to trust left it so I understand the suspicion that caused.

  653. I would speculate the thinking in doing that was it's a win either way. The taking down the drone is a win and if you add in the pilot needing to eject it could be used to get Russians behind the war. The US tried to kill our sons kind of thing. Russia's side is the drone was intentionally flown where they knew it would be considered an act aggression, our brave pilots attempted to intercept without firing to prevent further escalation, etc. If the pilot had been killed it would have been even better to get the Russian population behind the war. Russia has never really valued the life of its citizens beyond cannon fodder. That's not a dis either, it's just how Russia has always been. Even long before Communism. So understanding that is key to understanding military decisions that are made.

  654.  Jack Bradford  I know a couple down here in the rural south. You are correct. Just like most small white farmers down here, it's generational farming and land. Unfortunately they are being hit with the same problem every farmer like that is. The younger generations don't want to do it so it will all end with them.

  655.  @aceboog4546  So you're saying left wing racism is fine? Then you don't really care about racism and it's just tribal to you. The racism of low expectations is the most glaring example of white supremacy today and is currently embedded in those in power which is what makes it dangerous. If you believe someone can't succeed based only on the color of their skin, that's racism. If it's because their skin isn't white, that's white supremacy. Right now segregation is happening again and it's coming from the left, but you're fine with that because it's not right wing.

  657.  @xaero5150  Those behaviors aren't the same. Most dogs are not food aggressive, but still protective. The protection of the family is from a different instinct. Guarding family comes from the pact instinct not the resource one. Dogs generally won't be food aggressive unless they've faced starvation. A baby shouldn't have access to the dog food because it's a choking hazard. Young children should never be left unsupervised with any animal. Not just to protect the child, but to also protect the animal from the child. My Red Heeler is protective of me when we're in the backyard alone. You can clearly see he's more alert. He is not and never has been aggressive however. On the contrary, he's extremely friendly with other people and dogs. If he even hears another dog he starts whining wanting to go say hi. It's because he was well socialized as a puppy. You know nothing about either of the topics your trying to act like an expert in.

  659. I consider every US citizen worth saving. So because my son and husband have both US and Canadian passports they aren't worthy? Who are you to decide that for the other 300 million of us? Edit: They were told by US customs to enter Canada with a Canadian one and the US with the US to prevent confusion because thei birthplace states Canada. So following customs recommendations makes citizens unworthy to you. Styx himself most likely has citizenship in both countries he lives in so why are you even here?

  662. I like DeSantis, but I always knew he was just jumping on the bandwagon. He was pretty heavy handed during the lockdowns until he saw other Republican governors not following the mandates and getting praise. I recall people being arrested on beaches. A lot of the legislation he's pushed was already being done quietly in other states. Unlike him, there weren't these big press conferences done by the governor taking credit everytime a member of Congress proposed a bill. According to his own book, he was in private talks with Chapek and was going to drop the changes to Disney's special district. So everything he was saying publicly was bs. When Iger came in and started publicly attacking him is when the current plan moved forward. The whole thing about businesses not having special privileges over their competition by the state is him blowing smoke up everyone's a$$.

  663. This is the best time for it to happen if it affects farmland. Not as in it will destroy crops, but as in any damage can be repaired before crops are planted. If it has caused an increase in acid in the soil (the most likely contamination), the soil is tested before it's plowed. Any deficiencies will show up in the testing allowing the farmer to amend the soil when they plow and repair any nutritional damage to it before the spring planting. Edit: Possible bonus is the chemical company will pay for the needed additives to the soil.

  666. The market will crash. It's been being held up by the fed pumping money into it. They've stopped so it's going to go belly up. The housing prices will go down or at least stabilize. The prices are mostly just inflation. It's one of the first markets inflation hits. Because you're dealing with such large sums it makes it more noticeable. People who saw this coming are trying to get into land and houses to lock in the value of their money. As inflation goes up and wages go up, their payments remain the same. Demand will slow once the recession takes full effect and those that didn't get in quick enough no longer can afford to. Then it will drop a bit or just stop raising. The difference between now and 2008 is that this isn't a government manufactured bubble like it was then.

  667. Given that the judge over her misconduct case used to work for/with her and they had been friends for years is why the appeal went through. He never should have been over that case to begin with.

  668. If you can, get your money into longterm payments before the rates go higher. Car payments, house loans, even personal loans. The amount you have to pay won't go up so your money retains it's value. Also as wages increase due to inflation you'll still owe the same amount meaning your income increase is a real increase. It's the best way to insulate yourself from what's coming. You should have already done this, but if you haven't you need to before interest rates hit 5%. Edit: If you have a 401k, take a loan out against it. Even if you just use the money to pay back the loan. The market will crash and doing that will protect that amount from losses. We happened to have taken one out right before the 2008 crash and while everyone else lost tons of money and their 401K stagnated, ours saved and grew.

  674. No he really doesn't "get to do whatever he wants" in public. That is definitely true in private as long as it doesn't involve the harming of anyone else and not what that person determines as harm either. That's always been the part people seem to get wrong. There should be no laws restricting you, outside of causing harm, on your own property. That does not hold true for public spaces because those are shared spaces. Dylan craved the spotlight and has been working to get it shining on him for years. Now that he got what he wanted he gets to deal with the consequences of what he chose to do to get it. Edit: His "doing as he wants" involves trying to force others to accept the bulge in his pants as female. He's not leaving others alone.

  677. Inflation isn't going down. It's still there from the last 3 years. It's just not as high this year. Prices aren't dropping. That's inflation going down. Prices increased roughly 20%, more on groceries. Wages only increased 13%. That means my paycheck buys 7% (or more) less than it did when Biden took office. Intrest rates MIGHT drop next year, but nobody's said by how much. Most likely very little in the 3 promised decreases. Maybe a 1% decrease. Which means still too high for anyone that understands that means even longer before they start accruing equity. Basically you need to just stick a sign on your forehead that says "I'm an idiot that doesn't understand the economy". Edit: Employment is up because people are having to add a part-time job to afford to pay their bills. That's not a good thing. It's as stupid as when Obama was bragging about it when most of it was part-time jobs in the service industry. Where jobs are created is more important than how many.

  680. I think it’s the double standard. If saying the n word isn’t protected at a public university then other slurs shouldn’t be. If it is free speech, and it is, then all should be tolerated and allowed. Hence why the author brought up those groups. Edit: We’ve seen students be removed for “hate speech”. If it applies to one group it applies to all. If it doesn’t then it’s discriminatory rules which is illegal. It’s an opportunity to undermine and get rid of “hate speech” rules on college campuses.

  681.  @Skelli2  It's a change in ocean currents. They shift slightly causing the water to be warmer or cooler, depending on if it's El Nino or La Nina. That in turn causes a slight increase in the temperature or decrease and in the case of warming creates a higher than normal risk of hurricanes/typhoons. Edit: It occurs on fairly regular cycle. It's one, then about 5 or so years later the other one.

  682. What else should people with them do? Nobody is going to want it. If you give it to a shelter it will face the same fate. Either way it's going to cease to exist one way or another. If you live in a rural area go to your local shelter. It's full of hunting breeds. They either failed to return on a hunting trip, were abandoned because they wouldn't perform, or turned over for the same reason. Ask how long the ones with escape artist on their information slip have been there and it's likelihood of being adopted. Especially if it's also aggressive. It's chances are nil. Edit: I had a border collie. It leapt for a meter readers throat because he was pulling something out and she was trying to protect me. I grabbed her mid leap and held her. She never wiped around and tried to bite me. No dog I've ever owned and had to grab to restrain has. That dog was agreesive to the point of being dangerous.

You note later that they have very thin profit margins which is what you should have said rather than using cheapskate.

  684. This is already in the process in the US. My daughter-in-law works for a bank and they got notice Friday from the fed that they will be moving to digital currency. A small amount of certain small denominations will remain in circulation, but most will be removed. The stink that's been raised for just a couple of businesses that tried to go cashless I don't see this being tolerated by the people. I guess they think leaving a bit in circulation will appease people. They tried to phase checks out with the cards and that didn't work. 19% of all transactions are still made in cash. Almost 8 million people don't have bank accounts. It will directly impact the homeless and elderly. This is something both sides will resist, but for different reasons.

As they were being prosecuted many went back to El Savador after serving their sentences or fled there to avoid prosecution. They then set up operations inside El Savador. That's also not the only cartel in El Savador. Those coming now are the ones he failed to round up because they either hid, went to another country they have operations in like Mexico or Columbia, or were lower level that hadn't earned their tattoos yet. Mexican is still the majority coming across. Just other countries numbers have increased too.

  688.  @ulrickts  This is what concerns me. Women and men get different diseases based off of genetics as well as hormones and organs.

It potentially will also screw up studies.

  690. I'll point out he released non violent drug offenders during his term.

Trying to argue it isn't is like saying when I was in Memphis for a convention and was almost set upon by a group of "homeless" people I had no right to defend myself. Just like the ones trying to say he couldn't because he wasn't from there. Both arguments strip away a ton of self defense rights. Self defense only has to do with if you feared death or imminent harm. It has nothing to do with your location.

  705. That doesn't make it used by the military. It was created to be used by them, but it was rejected. There are several other guns on the market that perform the exact same way as an AR 15, but they aren't referred to as "military style". What Democrats mean by "military style" is how it looks, not how it functions. That's why they only single out the AR 15 and never say anything about the Rugar mini 14 even though it's basically the same weapon. One has a black frame and one has a wooden one. They would tell you to ban the black one, but the wooden one is fine. It's because it looks scary to them. Edit: Most weapons sold to civilians were created for or once used by the military. That doesn't make them anymore dangerous or any different than their counterparts. It's also still legal to own a fully automatic weapon that is still used by the military today so it's a ridiculous standard to attempt to implement.

With the Afghanistan debacle, moderate Democrat seats are in serious jeopardy in the upcoming midterms. They are going to be very reluctant to pass these things. Even Feinstein is saying she won't vote to end the filibuster because California's recalling Newsom. Edit: Feinstein wants to retire due to health reasons, but if she did so right now with how pissed Californians are right now it's likely her seat would go to a Republican. That would switch the majority back to Republicans even before the midterms.

  712. Well that I understand. Colleges are federally and state funded and as such are seen as an extension of the government. It would be looked at as a defacto embargo by the government. They aren't independent bodies operating in the ether. That's why the Constitution applies to them. Allowing them to do even that sets a precedent for them to act on other things ignoring federal and state laws and regulations. Edit: You only think it's bad because you supported the embargo. I bet you don't support colleges regulating "hate speech", but both are examples of the same thing. Trade agreements are set by the federal government. Everything that falls under the federal government has to abide by those agreements legally just like they have to abide by the Constitution.

You have no moral high ground here. History doesn't support the image you're attempting to paint.

Unfortunately people are accustomed to the uniparty Presidents and don't know what's really Presidential anymore.

  717. Restraining orders don't violate any of your rights. Technically neither does family court because there's no right to your child in the Constitution, though it might be in the state one. Those aren't equivalent to red flag laws which do violate a Constitutional right. Edit: That you're equating not being allowed to be near another person's body to the 2nd Amendment is telling. It's screaming that you violated someone else's right to privacy and aren't happy about it. You do have show a person is a credible threat to the individual to get one. It's usually through past police reports. Lots of them get turned down and never go before a judge because there's nothing but their word.

That's just not the case anymore. I feel like 100 years from now this still being a thing will be looked at similarly to how we look at child sacrifice today. The only difference is we understand it was lack of knowledge that caused that and we know how to prevent getting pregnant.

  725. The problem with the ice cores is that they aren't that old either because the Earth has had a lot of periods with no ice caps. We've known the climate from millions of years ago thanks to geologists who also first identified the ice ages. According to them, it's 2000 years until the oceans rise and that's only if nothing changes which is highly unlikely. I trust geologists for the most part. A lot more than I do "climate scientists" which is a really new field trying to justify it's existence. Edit: Another problem with ice cores is we have no way of knowing where those water molecules originated from. They are capturing a moment in time that could have only affected a small area, not global.

Also, just because you specialize in a field of law in school, that doesn't mean it's the one you end up practicing in. Licensing isn't based on specialization like, say, medicine is. A lot burns out of contract law and then goes into defense or family law. Edit: Prosecutors get a lot of favorable treatment by judges. They can be reprimanded multiple times, but the judge never files a formal complaint. Unlike defense attorneys, which will have formal complaints if they step out of line.

Edit: I live in southern Oklahoma and there's so many, they're making it to here.

  735. My son is a cross dresser. His friends almost convinced him he was trans. I asked him if he didn't want to have a penis. He said he didn't feel one way or the other. I told him he's not trans then. I had to explain to him that he's just a cross dresser then and explain what that was. Rupaul has come under fire because he doesn't allow people in transition to be on his Drag Race show. Even he knows the difference and acknowledges it.

  736. Unfortunately that's not the case here. One side is trying to stop the illegal immigration and the other one holds the door wide open. Biden told them when he was running that if he won to swarm the border and they did. It's estimated 8 million last year.

  739. That pool was never large to begin with so it was never a good idea, but all the advertising companies got caught up in the baiting tactic. It is a way to stir up online engagement, but it drives away your existing customer base. Ulta is enjoying that right now and here it is the holiday shopping season so I don't think it was the intelligent play. Entertainment companies are starting to catch on, except Disney who are doubling down. Disney is enjoying a huge drop in stock, big drop in park attendance, and box office losses over it. The bigger the company, the slower they are to respond. The ESG money can't and won't sustain these companies forever.

  745. I've seen some on the right doing that about Putin, but many accused of being like that simply because they don't believe we should be sending them all this money. Most that I've seen supporting Russia like that tend to be much further right than the general Republican. It's funny because they'll bring up that one battalion, but ignore Russia has the largest population of that group in the world. They are ignored by the government as long as they work with them. The biggest groups are heavily tied to the Russian government and there are similar groups within the Russian military. So either they don't know, or don't care and that's only a convenient excuse to hate Ukraine and love Russia.

  759. Affording spices depends on the era, area, and spice used. Making things spicy (hot) was done by the poor in the Americas because of the abundance of peppers that are from the area. Spices that aren't native to a given area would be more expensive. That's why Cajun food is much spicier than Creole. Cajun was poor people and Creole, which leans more into French cooking, was higher income. If you're talking about England then yes spices were generally a sign of wealth.

  767. If you say you aren't justifying it and then say "had no other choice", you've lied in the first part. He's a part of the WEF and good ole Klaus had mentioned how proud he is of him in several speeches. He doesn't hate globalism. He just wants to be the one in charge. In the speech to his troops before the invasion he praised Lenin and he's buddies with China so trying to claim he's against communism is complete BS. He also doesn't give a crap about Nazis. Russia is home to half the world's population of them. The former Russian PM sent Dmitry Demushkin and other neo Nazis into the separatists regions to fight Ukraine. Putin has only outlawed 5 groups of them in the last 2 years because he was pressured to due to their extreme violence. We're talking mass murderers. These groups even officially register to the government so they know who they are. Everything you just wrote is complete BS and inaccurate. It's propaganda plain and simple. You talk about centuries and don't give a single reference to what happened, only the USSR for a second which didn't exist for a century so your history isn't "centuries" in explanation. Russia is still very much Communist in similar ways China is. Their major exports are nationalized and controlled by Putin or his oligarchs. Just like it was under the USSR. It may no longer formally be communist, but there's little difference outside the economy. The government is very much still exactly the same. As for Ukraine. It's made up of several different countries. Part Russia, Poland, Romania, etc. Part if Poland that Russia took with Germany ended up now part of Ukraine. When the USSR took an area it intentionally mixed up the population to create strife so they wouldn't trust each other. That's why Yugoslavia split into so many different countries that can't stand each other. Putin is using the intentional displacement of Russians during that time to take parts, or in this case all, of previous Soviet countries. He's stated that any country that contains people that speak Russian belongs to Russia. He's used these same excuses in all 5 or so invasions of neighboring sovereign countries. NATO "expansion" is a direct result of those invasions. Everytime he does this, former Soviet countries get nervous and some of them ask to join NATO. So he's conveniently complaining about a problem of his own creation which is typical government honestly. Add in that since it's existence Russian leaders are judged by how much they expand the empire and you'll just start to understand Putin and his motivations. He's old, he's not going to be in power much longer, and to take the largest ex Soviet country back into Russia would leave him with a nice legacy. The fact that you or anyone else tries to justify the slaughter of people that have every right to determine their own fate as a nation, is disgusting. That Russia should be allowed to bully it's neighbors to be a sacrificial lamb in case Russia gets invaded, is sickening (that's what a buffer state is). That against their will, they have to sacrifice their livelihoods, their rights, and even possibly their lives to protect a bigger country is fine to people sitting comfortably in their homes in the West far away, is beyond tone deaf. It's elitist and it's proof that the West has no principles or morals left.

  771. They did print some, but the real culprit is they changed savings accounts. They added them to money in circulation when they hadn't been. Technically they aren't in circulation, but the changing of their status makes it look like there's more money in circulation than there actually is. It's smoke and mirrors. That was to prevent a crash due to the shutdowns. So now it looks like we have trillions in circulation that we don't and the only way to fix it is to slowly remove the money in circulation. Which is going to be neat trick since it's not really in circulation to begin with. That means they're going to have to force people to spend their savings or reclassify them back. I bet everyone can guess which course they're choosing. So it's much more sinister than just printing money.

  772. Oh goody someone else who thinks history in that area started in 2014. So it was fine as long as it was a Russian puppet? How is a defensive pact a "gun pointed at you"? That's like saying I can kill my neighbor and take their stuff because they have an alarm system. That's not self defense. Ukraine was not going to invade Russia. Your entire attempt at justification is blatantly ridiculous.

  773. I'm sure people thought this when McKinley was President, Harding, and many others. You either don't know history and that there have always been periods of large corruption or you do and have choose to ignore it. It's always outed by Populism in the US. Everytime a populist President is elected, it's been in response to massive corruption. So no, the US government isn't "on it's last legs" just the current establishment is.

None of them should positively verify that publicly.

  778. Corruption isn't acceptable. If it is then why are lower level politicians getting sent to jail when they get caught? The governor of Illinois was imprisoned for selling Obama's Senate seat. There are examples every year of stuff like that. AOC was fined for mishandling political donations. So no, it's not that corruption is accepted. It's that there's an unwritten rule in the higher levels of government that incoming administrations won't prosecute the outgoing one. Fortunately because of how the Dems have handled Trump, that's clearly not the case anymore. So Republicans better get to prosecuting.

  780.  @robertrusso4467  Ukraine is not going to become a NATO member. It doesn't meet the requirements because of its corruption and that's not getting fixed anytime soon. Ukraine is free to ask, as they have, and NATO said no. So how is NATO not allowing Ukraine to join violating that agreement? The ONLY thing that happened to trigger Putin was Ukraine wanted more trade with the EU instead of having only Russia as a major trading partner. Putin didn't like that because it would give the EU more influence over Ukraine and Putin wants Ukraine to only be influenced by Russia. He wanted to force his neighbors to remain under the Russian sphere of influence so they can be buffer states. It's a very old tactic that's been in use by Russia long before the USSR even existed. Just like a rulers legacy is determined by how much land they add to Russia and nothing else. It takes a much more historical understanding of Russia than just 1990+ to understand how and why Putin does things.

  787. That wasn't the first strategy. That was plan B after it took them a week to figure out Plan A was a bust. It's not a new strategy either. It's basically a siege so yes, everyone and their grandma understand what's being done. Edit: They've made key mistakes even within this strategy like leaving supply lines unprotected by air support which is a huge mistake. The fact it took them a week to change strategies when it was clear the first one was a failure by day 2 is also a huge weakness and shows they can't make key decisions quickly on the field. That happens when a military is too top heavy. So it's not that people don't understand the strategy, it's that they are baffled by the huge mistakes Russia is making that they should know better than to make. Russia has been bogged down by weather too which has allowed Ukraine to reinforce Kyiv another key mistake. There's slow moving and then there's too slow.

  788. Looking at things that way only works in European countries. The US is all immigrants so it's been diverse from the start. Otherwise we'd all be Quakers since that's who settled it first. To try to argue against that, you'd have to completely ignore that each European country has it's own culture. That the Germans, Irish, Spaniards, Italians, etc that came here were all just like the English. Later, as the US expanded, it picked up a lot of Mexicans as it moved westward because they were already in certain areas like Texas and New Mexico (hence the name).

  789. No she wasn't. There was no need for a digital recreation because we have images of her on coins outside of Egypt. She wouldn't be considered beautiful by today's standards. She wasn't considered beautiful at that time. Ceasar makes it clear it's her mind he found attractive, not her looks. Whoever you're promoting shouldn't be because it's clearly a scam. Edit: If anyone uses Egyptian images in an attempt to get the "real" image of it's rulers, they're very ignorant of Egypt or intentionally scamming people. It's well known that those images don't really resemble them at all. We know that because Tuts father insisted his images show him as he was in real life. Only a couple remain because his name was stricken from the record and images smashed. He was potbellied with elongated arms and misshapen from inbreeding.

  790. I didn't see him "worked up". I saw him reminiscing to the old wild west days of the internet. Which were great by the way. There's also nothing wrong with knowing which companies are for censorship. Knowing that and responding to that was how we stopped it in the 80s and 90s. That has nothing to do with a platform.

  791. Vandalism and intimidation are already illegal with a possible hate crime addition. If something you don't like just blows onto your property you can prosecute someone for it.

  793. Because prisoners are people that committed crimes and were prosecuted and found guilty in a court of law. Hostages are people that are kidnapped, committed no crime, have not been prosecuted, and have not been found guilty. Do YOU not know the definitions of those words? The dictionary is online and it's easy to find them. Edit: If you enter another country and commit a crime like they did, you too can become a prisoner of that country. There are several US citizens in south American prisons for smuggling. They're prisoners, not hostages. Palestine is trading people they kidnapped on 10/7 for people who committed crimes and were found guilty in Israel, known as prisoners.

  794. Still wouldn't justify you taking either ones stuff. Nice try though and completely irrelevant. It was part of the USSR because it took it over during WWII with the help of Germany. At least part of it. So according to you, all former Soviet states should go back under Russian control. Does that mean the US should go back to England? How far back are we going? That's a very far left talking point.

  795. The reason people don't get a speedy trial is because they agree to remove it. Most defense attorneys will advise it so they have time to build a proper defense and gather evidence and information. I still think there should be a limit because being in jail for years awaiting trial without being convicted isn't a good thing. It sees a lot of people sentenced to less than they've already served.

A lot found out they'd been lied to then when they weren't able to just walk out with one like they'd been told. There was a lot "I want it now! What do you mean I have to wait?" during that. They found out why people were against all this because they felt they needed to be able to protect themselves right then because police were no longer doing it and they were denied that ability.

  806. Just bought 415 lbs side of beef and it'll be ready from the processor in a couple of days. $1,350 so around $3 a pound regardless of the cut. Moved into a new house a few months ago so still setting everything up here. Half a kitchen wall is becoming an herb garden, a fenced off section of the yard is becoming a vegetable container garden (tomatoes, beans, garlic, peppers) to can and freeze that I'll be able to get 2 harvests from because it doesn't get cold here until very late, the front beds will be pollinator gardens, setting up a rainwater capture system, and putting in a solar pool heater for the inground pool. I can't plant in the yard because both my rescue dogs are diggers and it's impossible to break. It's a safety thing from when they lived on the streets. Planning to eventually make a small hothouse so somethings can be grown year round. Edit: This isn't because of the current events. I grew up poor and my family were farmers. If we didn't grow it, we didn't eat it. So this is just leftover from that.

Which is to be expected because if you solve a problem you no longer have that organization and lose all the power you gained from it so you've got to keep finding new problems. They even created a new organization, Gays against those who shall not be named.

It's why you're seeing my generation, Gen X (the most libertarian generation ever), taking over the Republican party instead of trying to build up the Libertarian one. Edit: I'd hoped the Mesis could fix the view of the party, but not if they put people like her forward in it.

If any Union, outside the teachers Union, thinks Democrats will protect their jobs needs to wake up to the fact they'll happily throw them under the bus if given the opportunity.

  821. I currently have one in my home. I don't care for the breed personally, but I don't take that out on my son's pupper. I'm actually grateful he came to live with us because had he stayed with just my son and his girlfriend, he would have ended up as statistic because they have no clue how to handle or train a dog properly. I know my som grew up with them. He just never paid attention to how we trained them. Even so, just due to his size and compactness of his build, my Red Heeler has had a leg broken. They were less than 6 months old rolling around playing, and the Pit ended up rolling onto his leg and breaking it. Red Heelers have long, slender legs and are already prone to leg injuries. He is NEVER outside with the other dogs without strict supervision. The minute he starts showing signs of being tired and grouchy, play is immediately stopped and he's brought in. I work with him individually on training and tricks daily. My two dogs ( Red Heeler and Blackmouth Curr) are much smarter than him. He takes 3 times as long to learn. He's not aggressive at all, but I'm not stupid enough to not understand that can change in an instant given the right circumstances. I've owned a lot of different breeds. My Border Collies are the only ones that have bitten anyone. She nipped our lawn care guy on his heel when he was on the riding mower. The herding instinct is extremely strong in that breed and you can never fully stop it. She didn't like lawnmowers in general so her instinct was to nip it's heels to herd it out of the yard. She didn't do any damage to him, but we made sure she was inside when they'd come after that.

Just like I wouldn't ridicule someone complaining about big pharma and healthcare for getting a needed medical treatment or surgery. As for the mask thing, since I believe businesses should be allowed to make decisions about the services they provide and making rules within their business, why wouldn't I respect their right to say I need to wear something? To refuse to follow the request of a business when I firmly believe they have the right to set rules and deny service would be hypocritical.

That just means you're a collectivist without independent thought. Otherwise you'd comment for yourself alone. Edit: That's not a direct threat legally either. I can physically remove someone from somewhere without doing stuff in minecraft. So it would be considered protected speech under the 1st amendment. It has to be a direct and imminent threat to be illegal. So supporting someone running for a high office that doesn't understand even the first amendment is a bad look. Especially running as a Libertarian which supports absolute free speech. I bet you also think it's illegal to yell fire in a crowded theater. It isn't. That was a horrible decision and was overturned awhile ago. That case was about if it was legal to protest against a war and the court said no and he was imprisoned.

It's like how undercover officers break the law while trying to catch the bad guys so they don't blow their cover but don't face prosecution. Obviously there's a line if treason is concerned, but we have yet to reach it so until we do immunity should stand regardless how some people may react to it.

  882. The EPA is correct. It is the responsibility of the company that manufacturers the chemicals to clean it up. That's because they have on hand and access to clean up materials. There's a foam that's used to neutralize chemical spills that these companies have to keep on hand. Just like if there's a fire, the local fire department isn't allowed into the plant. The company has a fire and rescue team that are trained on how to properly put them out. Just like a grease fire, water would just spread the fire around. Local firefighters remain outside the gate in case they're needed for additional rescue and to inform the public when it's out. I've lived around dangerous chemicals like this my entire life. I even worked around them in the summer as a teenager. Spills are common and as long as properly neutralized, cause little longterm risk. Several years ago one of them had the hydrochloric acid plant explode because a transformer went out and caught it on fire. The electric company was to blame because they knew better than to place it that close. There are people that live right behind the plant and nobody has died or got sick as a result. I find all this panic entertaining.

  891.  @yinyangsaladgang8789  The Church didn't do the egg hunts and stuff though. Easter, as far as the Catholic Church is concerned, is a special Mass followed by a feast like most holidays. It was the pagans turned Christian that added the rest to combine their traditions with their new religion. While it's true that the Church didn't pushback against this combination, mainly because it was local priests and missionaries rather than the Church handling these areas, that doesn't mean the Church is responsible for the combination that occurred. While you can certainly make the argument Easter falls where it does to align with previous pagan holidays, it really makes more sense that every religion celebrates the changing of seasons and these holidays were just Christianity's version of that rather than that the Church incorporated these holidays for pagans. Judaism also Mark's these occasions and they certainly weren't trying to lure people to their religion. It's really a chicken or egg argument, but it's more plausible that these celebrations existed already in Christianity and the pagans were the ones that combined their old traditions into the new religion. Edit: We know that the resurrection was extremely important to the early Christians, before the Church came to be. They marked their graves with the fish symbol (to represent a whale for Jonah and the whale story) to signify it. It was on the graves of very early Christians in Jerusalem and it's been found in symbols on floors that would have been hidden by a rug.

You either know it is or don't. Since it was implemented on something he passionately disagrees with, forced inoculation, he saw the error of his thinking. That means if it was something he agreed with he never would have thought twice about it and would have supported it. As for EPA regulations, there are incredibly too many. It's nearly impossible for new businesses to open and compete against established ones due to all the regulations. Some isn't bad, but when you have so much it massively decreases your economic freedom it's a problem. The regulations to just keep a horse are insane. No the government shouldn't be in the business of deciding who's allowed to operate a business and who isn't. What he's proposing is in the realm of actual fascism.

It was Hollywood being progressive kind of like now where they didn't want to make diverse characters the bad guy but wanted them visibly in the movie.

Her team had to have watched hours of it and Tim's couldn't be bothered to watch a single one. Edit: He also defended Murphy in that piece. Zero research into what actually happened. It had nothing to do with the videos. His reaction to a question triggered a deeper look into him and men that joined his organization started talking about what it was. It was nothing but a message board with people trying to sell you stuff on it. He claimed he was getting men together to bond in the outdoors and learn from each other. None of it ever happened. $100 month for nothing. Then he was going on a tour where they had to spend more money to go hear him speak. That's what brought him down, and rightly so.

Unless you think only career politicians should hold seats of power, I don't understand the problem. Obama was always involved in politics. He didn't have a successful career outside of it because he was an activist before he ran for office. He's nothing like Obama. Edit: It's hilarious all these people that are clearly taking their talking points from An0moly that clearly don't have a clue. First term Trump ran on an almost identical platform as Obama did his first term. If I was a suspicious person I'd think An0moly was working for the swamp and trying to keep career politicians in power.

For friends or family members you know are going to be coming to your house often, you make sure they are around it as a puppy and socializes with them. That way the dog will know them well before they reach the size they can be dangerous. They should also be told key command words (which should preferably be in a different language) so they can control it. If people randomly come onto their property to attempt to play with a strange dog, that person wasn't trained properly.

These people claiming they want to fight don't need the US to intervene to do so. I really don't think people fully grasp what an announcement of US troops on the ground in Ukraine would cause. It would definitely cause an escalation. It might also embolden Russian troops because they'd finally face off against US troops. I'm starting to think that's intentional.

They serve a purpose but the public ones aren't run the same.

  915. That you think Lybia and Iraq ever had a chance of challenging the Petro dollar means no one should believe anything else you're saying. OPEC, much bigger players, have been trying for years and hasn't managed to. Tiny countries like Lybia and Iraq were no threat of accomplishing that.

  916.  @potcrak1  It means that race no longer can be a deciding factor in college admissions. It means that once again it will be test scores focused with being poor being considered. Which means poor white kids and Asian kids, which score the highest and have a large number in poverty, can no longer be accepted at a lower rate than black students were regardless of their scores or financial situation. Black students were accepted at a rate of over 50% where as Asian were 13% and white at 15% even though they met more of the requirements. Claiming Asian means Indian means you don't seem to know they are the highest earners in the US. Meaning they won't be accepted anymore than they already were because colleges weight acceptance rates in favor of those in poverty. Just so you're aware, I'm Native and calling me "feathers" is you being racist. We were never accepted in high numbers in Ivy League schools anyway because preference has always been given to black students over us even though we have a higher percentage in poverty. This doesn't affect us at all just like affirmative action never did. Edit: Since no proof is required at these colleges if you're Native or not, many white students would lie in an attempt to gain maybe a tiny bit less discrimination. Obviously it didn't help much.

  917.  @thelastofus2872  Does Matha's Vineyard area not have churches? They are all God's houses so they all should do their part rather than it only falling on a few. Not to mention this has nothing to do with the soul because this is worldly and state matters which Jesus made a clear distinction with. Before you pull the "we're a Christian country" card, we're influenced by Judeo Christian values and so are most of the countries these people are coming from. There is only one land blessed by God and this isn't it. Edit: A lot of the people illegally crossing the border call themselves Catholic, yet they are lying and knowingly breaking the laws of the land. Then there's the fact Jesus said we should protect ourselves and our countries from invading forces. 200,000 is an invasion.

  923. First thing that needs to happen is the law Obama got rid of needs to be put back in place. Then the second part of 230 needs to be removed. The psyop that was going on isn't surprising and would definitely be the institutions as a whole. The FBI is most likely not agency wide, but comes down to a handful of high up rogue agents. Similar to what we saw with the dossier. Why that division in the FBI even exists needs to be looked into because the premise of its creation, Russian interference, was proven false or at least no more than usual and extremely limited. The investigation found Ukraine and China interfered far more than Russia. Unfortunately the FBI has a history of these types of operations against the citizenry so it's much more difficult to brush off as a one off.

  927.  @NanClaymore  That still doesn't change the fact there are 2 apples. The rest has nothing to do with the number you have because numbers aren't just related to food. Once you remove that it's apples from your extremely long winded bs, the amount doesn't change. Math is amount, not quality of the amount. I have two buttons, they are not identical but there is still two of them. Breaking things down into identical groups comes at higher levels of math and that understanding can't be achieved without understanding the basics. You can try to ignore that fact for eternity, but it doesn't change how the brain works. Young minds are not developed enough to grasp complex concepts. That's why the complexity advances as knowledge progresses. Breaking items down into groups still requires knowing how many of each you actually have.

  928. This is going to get interesting because sponsored stuff is supposed to be told upfront. It's one thing when they hired "influencers" to talk about gas prices and the economy which was scummy enough but because it's the government and Obams repealed the ban on propaganda against the citizenry, it's different. This could be even more than just a campaign finance issue and fall into some more serious campaign laws. Like the Press Secretary now is having to be very careful in talking about Trump.

  929. I'm really trying to understand how being leery and distrustful of the government became unamerican. It's been a huge principle of the People since the Founding and runs in our veins. It's always been a defining feature of being American. At the end of the pandemic bs trust was at an all time low, and they just keep doing things to destroy it even more. It's all just very strange. If this is how the new "liberal" world order is going to be, they can shove it.

  930.  @SecretGerms  Really? Just like Hillary, Biden is already talking war with Russia. Having lived through the 80s going through some of the closest calls to nuclear war, I find it disgusting that suddenly that's an acceptable stance. They were doing far worse things then, yet now that Putin is talking retirement, we're going to kill millions and a potential nuclear war because we were weak. That'll show 'em! Just like we've killed thousands of civilians in Syria and created a humanitarian crisis just to keep Russia from building a pipeline. Sometimes we're the baddies.

  935. The first part about misogyny was just incorrect. Women are the largest demographic currently attending college. If a girl if asked about her future she says she wants to get married instead of have a career, she'll be "set straight" not just by her peers but also by her teachers. Twitter was an excellent example of why more women aren't in tech. When Musk took over he gave everyone a choice. They could stay and work hard including overtime or they could leave and get a severance package. The photo of the tech team before that was mostly women, after that it was almost exclusively men. Women aren't held back by anyone. It makes total sense that the medical field would be dominated by women because it's taking care of people which women tend to find fulfilling. That's why nursing was a female field forever.

  936.  @KuroKumo96  The type of case Styx is talking about would only occur if the woman completely neglected prenatal care. As someone that's had preeclampsia for both my pregnancies, it almost always occurs in the third trimester, it's not allowed to continue past a few weeks before labor is induced, only birth cures it. That means just killing the baby doesn't stop it. Either way, you're going to go through delivery. Abortion is pointless and unnecessary. It's caused by the hormones produced during pregnancy. Those hormones don't stop until a few days after giving birth. The body will continue to produce them as long as there's an object in the womb because they're preparing the body for delivery. Edit: Also as long as you don't breastfeed, you can be given blood pressure medication during labor. During the first one I was having symptoms of heart distress during labor (felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest) and was given them to prevent a heart attack. I went through a natural birth following that. Also controlling the pain reduces blood pressure as well so epidurals help.

  939.  @mrdeleted  I just addressed that in a comment. Where's the proof? Plus 10 year old being pregnant would fall under risk to the life of the mother by all medical standards. It's extremely dangerous. Every state allows that. The story makes zero sense other than as propaganda. Only a handful of pregnancies have occurred throughout history at that age that resulted in a live birth and the mother living. Edit: Whoever came up with this story doesn't know much about medicine or pregnancy to put her at such an extremely young age. Anything below about 13 would fall under life of mother and even a lot of those would depending on the size and health of the mother.

  940.  @williamnicholson8133  Primaries have nothing to do with laws. They're completely handled and the rules created by the party. It's not a vote for a public office yet so voting laws are irrelevant. Unless they've changed the rules in how they do the primary votes, this is false. The Democrats absolutely can because they give a huge number of votes to individuals that can completely change the votes of the people. Republicans don't have that. They'd have to not allow him on the Republican primary ticket.

  945. It really didn't. Mainly because the economy was so strong going into it and Trump had already removed a lot of money from circulation. The last one combined with the infrastructure bill pushed caused about 5% of inflation. The Ukraine spending is what's pushing it higher and higher, and it's because we've enter an inflationary cycle. Had the interest rates not been kept artificially low, it would have helped prevent some of this. The requirement for the banks to keep 10% of their money supply in reserve and changing savings from not being factored into the money supply to being counted in it, isn't helping either. Edit: Those changes were made to make the economy look better than it was.

  947.  @PoetofHateSpeech  No it would not be better off. The only way you can come to that conclusion is by agreeing with the tactics of the far left because they are identical to Nazi tactics. There are subtle differences between Nazism and Communism, but they are implemented pretty much identically. The main difference in that is who the targets are. Nazism focused on race and Communism on class. Right now it's focused on race which puts it closer to what you're trying to claim was "good". If you disagree with what's happening now and support Nazism, you're just as big a hypocrite as the far left and should be dismissed just like they should be.

  949. Just more proof we're regressing. This is why there were hearings in the 80s and 90s about the IRS having too much power so it was rolled back by Congress. The argument was when a Congressman is terrified when they see a letter from the IRS, there's a problem with an imbalance of power. The IRS was shrunk down to its current state. It had gotten expanded to find illegal money and laundering, but instead it was targetting everyday citizens and seizing their assets. Everybody knew someone that had gotten audited.

  957. The trailer seemed so familiar to me and I finally figured it out. It's Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack and White Fragility presented as a comedy while still taking the premise of the books seriously. Which makes sense because those are the two books corporate America pushed on employees during the summer of love. It doesn't make a good movie, but that's what it's doing. Edit: So no. It won't do that. That was completely unintentional because it was a huwhite woman and her feminist husband that wrote Barbie. Those books don't have any room for that type of thing. They're both written by extremely racist huwhite women to other huwhite women because they think all of them think exactly like they do.

That's been a thing as long as there have been political parties.

It's always been the independent swing voters.

  970. Funny because political analysis has him a populist conservative. While the party you're referring to was certainly populist, it wasn't conservative. You're going to need to point to the old ways and traditions he was trying to preserve to prove otherwise. Instead he favored the left and despised the right as weak while technically being neither. I'm not really sure, nor really care, why there's this obsession with shoving him onto one side or the other when he hated and persecuted both. Edit: You're comment just shows your own ignorance on both subjects. El Savador is a constitutional republic and has been since 1841. While yes Germany was one before WWII, it had only been one for about 20 years. There's a big difference between having a system for over 100 years and having one for 20. Even Communists understand a system that's been in place for 100 years becomes the norm and default in how a country functions.

It's an excellent example of what happens very quickly when large organizations no longer act in an area.

Edit: The two candidates aren't trying to convince the other one they should be president. They're trying to convince you.

  982.  @aleksandarvidakovic7632  Only in like 2 or 3 countries is the left and right defined by how you are attempting to define it. In the majority of the world right is libertarianism with the farthest being anarchy and left is authoritarian with the furthest being Communism now. Even using your definition George Washington said there is no right wing party in the US and can't be because of the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees rights that aren't bestowed by the government, but rather protected from the government. They can not be taken away and therefore we can not be regressive, as you put it. Both parties in the US are technically left because of the very foundation that the country was founded on. Even when the KKK was at it's height and had a firm supporter in the highest office, it couldn't manifest into what Nazism did because there was no avenue for it to. In order for that to happen, the country would have to cease to exist and a new one take it's place.

Since then they've tried to use school funding to force through somethings which the court said no on because it was clearly a matter that should be left to the state. The difference is the drinking age was legislation passed by Congress making it a federal law and states have to follow federal law. The executive using regulations to go around Congress to exert it's will onto the states, such as demanding unisex bathrooms in schools, isn't allowed.

  989. I'm pretty sure they're all issues. I wasn't aware you could only talk about a single issue and ignore everything else.

Abortion is now a state issue but Dems want to make it a federal issue with legislation.

  990. The reason Trump can pull off the every man bit is because, similar to Teddy Roosevelt, he has a long history of being a thorn in the side of the political elite. His whole shtick was challenging the Mayor of New York in who could do it better. Him or government, and it was always him. Everybody credits Guiliani for cleaning up New York, but he had a lot of help from Trump at the time. As for the moralist stuff, you've got to have values or you end up like the left supporting pedos and insane ideas. There are certain groups that will always attempt to latch onto any new movement and you've got to be prepared to keep them out.

So the responsible parties are the only ones held accountable. He is 100% correct that he bought a crime scene.

He arrested journalists, he murdered a US citizen by drone strike intentionally, nobody went to jail or was punished for the housing mess, he expanded the Patriot Act and then used it to spy on political opponents, used the IRS against the opposition, and tons more.

  1004. I think it was an attempt to trap the kid, save Trump, to boost the administration. "Look how benevolent we are! We saved our rival!" Only incompetence stepped in. That makes the most sense and puts everyone in the best light motive wise possible. If it had played out like that, it would have helped dispel the claims by Trump that Biden is trying to get him off the ticket and improved how people see the current administration. Edit: Though since this administration is acting more like Russia or a 3rd world government, the other motive is certainly possible.

  1005.  @SecretGerms  As a Native, I don't take offense at his statement really. I find this blanket "stolen land" mantra an insult. My ancestors were warriors and fought. They unfortunately eventually lost the war THEY started since they broke the treaty. Saying it was "stolen" diminishes their status and makes them sound stupid because they were tricked or were less than in some way. Considering they defeated and controlled over 40 tribes in the region I find that sentiment very condescending.

Him finally coming out against the mandates was a huge move he needed to make. He had to swallow his pride for that since he's responsible for financing it in the first place.

  1011.  @karriewick  No it’s not. You’re not after the people already full blown into this ideology. You’re after the normies. I had a good example a couple days ago in a comment section on a video about this theory. Someone created a scenario that emotionally you’d answer yes to, but it was completely logically false. Her scenario was someone becomes a famous actor or musician. Their family is wealthy which allowed them to hone their talent. That family owned slaves at one point. Should the artist apologize and make reparations? It sounds reasonable and emotionally you’d say yes. To counter it you don’t go emotional yourself, you go fact. It’s full of false premises. You attack the falsehoods. The first one is that the majority of wealthy in the US is generational. It isn’t. Most millionaires and billionaires are new money. They would have to prove the family was able to maintain their wealth through the Great Depression and all the recessions. Only a tiny handful of families fall into that, and are well known. The last false assumption is that you have to come from wealth in order to pursue a career in those fields. The majority, again, don’t come from wealthy families. Edit: I posted accidentally before I was done. Anyway, that’s how you argue against this ideology. Any normie will look at my logical and fact based breakdown of the flaws in their reasoning and hopefully that will remove the emotional knee jerk response.

  1013.  @marcks-3980  I thought socialism was workers owning the means of production. None of what you said is that.

Because one of these things is not like the other.

  1014.  @chronos401  Yes he didn't make many gaffes in a prerecorded edited video. Nevermind the fact that there shouldn't have been any in that situation. Every interview he's given softball questions and can't answer them coherently. Before he retreated to his basement and was going to events he repeatedly became aggressive with someone planning to vote for him because they asked him a policy question. He has told black people they aren't black if they don't vote for him, they don't think independently, and called a black journalist a junkie because he asked if he'd taken a cognitive test after a white journalist asked the same question a couple of days before with zero problem. He still defends his crime bill. He is trying to get out of the debates. Now why if he's perfectly fine like you claim would he not do them? He has no policies that he didn't steal from someone else and can't tell you what they are in any detail. He has not called out violence being caused by the far left and acts like it's not happening. Everyone can claim nobody was watching the DNC because their viewership was almost 50% lower than the last one or are all the networks fibbing? WTF is a righty? Most here are independents and libertarians. You know, the people whose votes actually decide the election so I'm not sure insulting us is the way to go. You also can't blame us for your party's choice for nominee since most states have closed primaries we aren't allowed to vote in.

  1016.  @Prosecute-fauci  Self defense is part of "public life". Being able to vote isn't part of "public life" either, but it's been used to justify accessibility. Again it's not just the Act itself, but how the courts interpret it. They have interpreted it to include being able to use your rights. They consider your rights part of "public life". Yes it could be used. Given the current climate of oppressed and oppressor and not wanting to anger the mob, it's a completely justifiable argument. It's how a ban on plastic straws was avoided. I don't think you understand as an able bodied person what those braces do. They stabilize the gun making it much easier for a person with strength issues to protect themselves which self defense is one of the most important rights we've got. It's so important the courts have ruled you have the right to it against the police/government.

  1017.  @marshaward6790  Where else are they supposed to go? This isn't a short term thing. Are we supposed to pay for them to move wherever in the country they'd like and support them until they find a new job? This isn't just affecting the people in that town, but also the surrounding areas so we're supposed to pay for millions to do that? This isn't the publics problem, it's the 2 independent companies problem to fix and they are already filing lawsuits against them. Are they going to pay the people back when they get paid compensation by these companies? Does this mean from here on out everytime there's a preventable disaster, it will fall on the public to fund them moving until it's 100% safe again? Nobody would live anywhere. Where's the limit, the line that it's finally alright for people in no way responsible to withdraw financial support? Stop demanding people who aren't responsible take the burden off the companies that are.

Pretty sure it's GOP controlled so how did he lose it? He didn't lose the Senate either because it was under Democrat control and still is. You can't lose something you didn't have. You could say they failed to regain control, but the didn't lose it. According to you, the GOP was in control of everything until 2 years ago and that's just not factually true at all. Edit: It's funny that people like you are so obsessed with the federal government and ignore the state level where the real impact on citizens is.

Putin is trying to create his legacy before he leaves office. It has nothing to do with what all the Putin fans clamor on about. It's about his legacy and you'd know that if you understood the history of Russia and listened to his speeches. Edit: That's why NATO was created. Not because Russia was communist, but because it's always been expansionist.

The EU is still dangling potential membership to Ukraine if they turn away from Russia and clean their act up. Edit: Contrary to the current narrative, it wasn't NATO membership that set Russia off. That didn't even enter into talks until after Crimea, though Putin was concerned about it. It was Ukraine rejecting trade with Russia for an exclusive trade deal with the EU and the EU promising the citizens if they did they'd immediately enjoy an economy comparable to theirs.

  1045. We just had solar power installed. Our electricity usage is on the high side because of the inground pool and 4 out of 5 people having decent gaming computers. It was $60,000 for everything and that will cover our entire $500+ a month electricity usage plus 5% extra in case we add anything. So you could figure almost half that for most people. A battery costs $20,000 which we did not add right now, but will when prices drop. Until then we'll use a little cheap generator to power the converter so we'll still have power if it goes out. We financed it so our "new" electricity bill (which is the payment for the system) is locked in at $230 per month for 20 years. And the power company pays us for any extra we produce which in the winter is a lot. It won't quite pay for itself, but almost and it's way cheaper than what were paying and will be paying in the future as energy costs continue to rise.

  1051. It's not a psyop. Their investors are pissed. The new coke thing wasn't intentional either. They misread sales reports and saw Coke had dropped from the top spot. They thought Pepsi had finally overtaken them and changed to something more like Pepsi. Unfortunately it was diet coke that knocked coke off the top spot. The guy was fired after that fiasco and Coke lost millions. Not just in sales but in production and they had to increase marketing to get people to try original Coke again. Edit: Also changing your product and changing it back isn't comparable to insulting your customers. Had coke insulted their customers on top of that, they'd be over. Fortunately they were smart enough to come clean, correct the problem, and beg for forgiveness. Bud didn't change the product. They called their customers fratty and out of touch and said they need a different customer base.

  1074. In my hometown we elected the Police Chief so our police don't answer to the Mayor. During the lockdowns they made it clear that they aren't the mask police and have far important tasks to take care of. Not a single person or business was fined that didn't follow the edicts of the governor or Mayor no matter how irate the Karens got. Then during the riots there was a group trying to take down our Confederate statue to the single person in our county that died during the Civil War. The police chief allowed a group of armed citizens to protect it 24/7 with an officer regularly stopping by. It's a world of difference when they answer to the people instead of the Mayor.

  1075. ​​​ @BlackHawkDownSD They aren't supposed to until commanded to. It also means it was an escape artist. There was a dog breeder who's Rottweilers chewed through their cage and killed her Beagles. Should she have shrugged it off and not killed them? I know it's hard for people to believe but some dogs just aren't trainable to that level. It takes a high intelligence dog to train as a hunting dog. Some aren't trainable beyond extremely basic commands. This is pretty common practice if a dog can't perform. Hunting dogs aren't pets. They're to perform a specific task. Just like if you're looking for a dog to help you herd, if it can't it's nothing but an extra mouth to feed and taking up resources for one that will do the job. Would it be better that it runs off in the woods and starves on the first hunting trip? I know people that have herding dogs, deer dogs, and boar dogs. They all do the same thing if one can't be trained. Edit: Hunting dogs are high energy breeds. There's a reason shelters are full of them and most will never find a home and be put down. People don't want large, high energy, short-haired dogs. If it's an escape artist on top of all that nobody will ever adopt it and it'll end up exactly where it is now.

  1076. They got a taste of Biden and remember the economy under Trump. That's enough to sway a lot of voters. The very easy and stark comparison of the two is experienced everyday by citizens. The only thing they care about is if they're better off today than they were before and the answer is no. DeSantis isn't even running so this insane attempt to shove him in is very strange. Edit: DeSantis has no national presence. Most voters outside Florida or those online have barely even heard of him. How is someone they don't know the first thing about better than a candidate they enjoyed a massive increase in their income from when he served?

  1080. They aren't immune from prosecution if they commit a crime outside of office. The Constitution allows for prosecution of high crimes. It requires a conviction of impeachment first. If a President committed some of those crimes, they'd be removed by impeachment thus they're open for prosecution. That's how it's done according to the Constitution. Unless you want the Constitution rewritten, that's currently what it says. Edit: Smith is trying to avoid the delay the appeal creates. It'll end up at SCOTUS at some point anyway. He's trying to get Trump in court in March, I think that's the trial date, of next year. They're hoping a conviction will stop people voting for him, or have his support of the RNC removed.

  1081.  @thilli1859  Yes people were prevented from testifying. You didn't even watch the video you're commenting on clearly because he goes over that. An example is the female agent that claimed Trump tried to grab the wheel. The two people that were there, she was not, said they were prepared to testify that didn't happen and weren't allowed to or called. No rebuttal witnesses were allowed. Edit: People that didn't agree with the forgone conclusions weren't allowed on the committee either. Several more than just the 2 Republicans were referred to it, but weren't allowed. That's why it's not bipartisan and not a legal committee because it doesn't meet the threshold set forth in the rules to be considered one. Maybe learn some bare minimum facts next time before exposing your ignorance in the comment section. To be considered a legal one by the rules, it must have equal representation from both parties.

It's one of the very few that instituted a ban. No exception except life of mother. The most extreme in the country. Tulsa and OK city went blue for governor, but it wasn't enough for the Republican to be ousted. Federal elections were solid red. Even in those areas. So if there were concerns of a federal abortion issue, Democrats ran on that in their ads, it wasn't federally to the vast majority of voters. The Republicans running for federal positions ran on the economy and education.

  1091. That plan was far worse than just that. Biden's administration wanted to take land from white farmers and give it to black "farmers". Farmers is in quotation marks because to qualify as a black farmer you didn't have to be a farmer or try to grow anything for at least 2 years.

  1093.  @patwinlawrence6948  Then you're thinking is incorrect. There aren't enough past black students to where 52% of each class would be black applicants and get accepted. Acceptance rates generally don't include those let in as legacy because they typically don't go through the same application process. Letting students in who barely graduated high school or can't pass tests that the other students do doesn't help anyone. It hurts them because they can't do the work, drop out or fail out, which causes lower self esteem. Instead of focusing on acceptance rate as some weird determining factor on if certain group is somehow now better off, look at graduation rates of that group. It's low in Ivy League schools for black students because they're accepted knowing they're incapable of doing the work at the level required just so people like you can go "We're doing something!" when in reality you aren't. These schools are Ivy League not just based on money, but in high standards to get in AND high graduation rates that go along with higher earnings based on the faith employers have on the abilities of their graduates. Because they have higher standards to get in, they are able to employ a higher level of professors who can teach at a higher level of understanding than a state university. It's the equivalent of sending a student that can barely do basic math to MIT and claiming you helped him. People need to stop just looking at these schools as a play ground for the rich because they're not. They earned their reputation and are listed as top universities based on the level of education you receive at them. Edit: Also the number of legacy students allowed in is capped so that they don't take up all the resources. I know because I worked my a$$ of to try to attend one for law school. I had the grades, I had the test scores, I even grew up in poverty. Unfortunately I was the wrong race. Making race a deciding factor is the definition of racism and you cheer it on. By the way, I went from foodstamps and welfare to now the upper middle class. Upward mobility isn't gone. It requires risks just like it always has and too many people are no longer willing to take them. They want opportunity to move in nextdoor instead of seeking it out.

  1097. As far as Union support goes, they're not all Dem anymore. They've lost the Operating Engineers because of the attack on oil and they've lost a lot of UAW. They're striking right now partially due to Biden's push for EVs. The Police and fire Unions also are no longer strong Dem supporters. Currently the Biden administration is trying to use federal funds to increase construction workers pay in right to work states to the scale of those Union workers in NYC. So that could effect Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The idea that Unions are Dem voters is long gone thanks to Dems doing lip service to them while trying to destroy their industries. Edit: I don't see truckers being Dem either due to regulations and the push for EVs. Basically the main Union support now is Teachers Union and small ones. People vote in their own best interest and that includes Unions. I know for a fact Operating Engineers haven't told their members to vote Dem since Obama's 2nd term.

It was even removed, but Reagan made them put it back in.

The Emperor combined with the deep sense of honor had been the basis for hundreds if not thousands of years at that point. As for the rest 100% agree. I've been saying don't start something you know you can't finish. The UN and US is partially to blame. Everytime they'd get hit everyone would immediately jump in calling for a ceasefire and Israel would comply without ever really hitting them back. I guess they figured no matter what they did Israel would bow to the UN and they'd protect them. Whoopsie.

If it's not your division doing something you know next to nothing about what's happening. A lot of stuff happening is judgment calls made immediately on the ground as situations develop and people are told about it after it's over. This is a war, not the US spending months planning out drone strikes and still getting it wrong. War is brutal. If you can't handle it, don't instigate it.

As insane as it is, as protected as our system is against it to the point it would take a very bloody war and a tearing up of the Constitution, that's what they truly have been made to believe. It's important to understand what they believe to understand why they celebrate the very thing they claim he's doing, the destruction of "our democracy". Ford pardoned Nixon even though he wasn't facing any charges. Biden has tried to revoke Trump's clearance so he could be indicted on the same thing Biden's guilty of so I don't believe a pardon will be coming from the current administration.

Edit: If you're younger and want a good look into Fauci, I suggest picking up RFK Jr's latest book. Keep in mind he is a Democrat and a politician so skip the first chapter which is just partisan BS.

  1112.  @420bengalfan  See that just shows you don't understand the economy. Trump's Covid relief spending (bipartisan I'll add) only added slightly to inflation because he'd already removed a lot of money from circulation. He also was practically begging states to reopen businesses after 3 weeks. I don't care that the government spent money to create a vaccine that other countries also developed. If it was only the US, then maybe but either way, one was going to authorized. At least what's sold to other countries ours gets a cut of it. I care that it was mandated. There are tons of medications that get made every year, but I'm not forced to take it. Styx has criticized Trump lots you'd know that if you watched him during that time period. You're just upset he didn't immediately switch to DeSantis. Edit: The spike in the money supply that everyone points to as this mass printing wasn't a printing at all. It was a redefinition of "in circulation" to include savings and 401ks. It also helped that Trump hadn't held the interest rates artificially low before that happened. That also helped it not add much to inflation. It's massive spending with an artificially suppressed interest rate that leads to mass money printing and inflation. Spending twice as much as previously with an interest rate of zero and it was after most states had opened business back up is the huge difference between the two.

  1113.  @420bengalfan  To get an even more in depth explanation, Biden's massive bill included an unnecessary handout to the people which exasperated already messed up supply lines creating even more problems in our supply vs demand economy. That drove prices even higher as people searched for stuff to spend that money on. There was no need for a stimulus because there wasn't a supply to compensate for it. Biden then continued to artificially keep the interest rate at zero instead of letting it rise like it should to help pull some the excess money out of circulation. Instead he ignored it and let it keep getting higher until it got to the point it wasn't going to be an easier correction. Had he done that, our cumulative inflation would probably be about half of what it currently is which right now is pushing 30%.

  1117.  @In_Orbit  That's already the case. For example if I have bad arthritis in my hands and I'm applying for a data entry position no amount of accommodation is going to make it to where I can perform the task as well as someone without it. That's the key. If I can perform the task as well as an able bodied person with something simple like room for my wheelchair, my disability shouldn't factor into being hired or not. That's all the Act was meant to address.

  1120. There seems to be some misunderstanding of what's happening on the bigger picture. This isn't really about Biden. The corruption isn't occurring to protect him. The corruption occurred to try to prevent a certain orange man from being elected or remaining in the position. They had to cover all this up to prevent Biden from losing. All of this is the system trying to protect itself, not an individual. It's to protect the appearance of the institutions to protect the system. They think if the institutions aren't trusted the system fails. They don't understand the system is supposed to keep the institutions in check. Some did it believing the institutions are bigger and more important than an individual. Others to hide their own corruption. They don't understand they are destroying any and all trust in the institutions and systems themselves.

In all that time it was understood to be for adults which is why it was done at adult only venues. The same is true of stripping. Religious practices in Rome prior to Christianity becoming the official religion consisted of orgies and blood rituals and Rome was just as strong and powerful. What happened to Rome was it got too big and had too many fronts to protect. It also didn't really fall because the Eastern Roman Empire survived for centuries after the Western part fell and was responsible for most of our advanced math while the West fell into the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages were caused by over zealous religious organizations that you're framing as good for civilization.

  1154. A father can contest an adoption. I know because I wanted to be adopted by my stepfather and didn't want my biological father's last name. It would have required me making contact and getting his permission because he hadn't legally surrendered his parental rights. That's only if the father is listed on the birth certificate though. If the father can prove through DNA that he is indeed the father, the court would give him custody but it does require a lot of cost because it has to go to court. The problem is there's never any doubt who the mother is, but the father isn't as easy to determine. Edit: You not being aware that an adoption requires both parents to give up their rights to child shows you're rant about men not having rights isn't because you know about the process but based on what someone else told you.

  1165.  @uptoolate2793  No it's not. Biden represents the federal government as President. It's state government vs federal government. It's Biden instead of US or FBI because it was his signature that allowed the expansion of what Trump (unfortunately) first set up. Other states can join the case, but the primary complainant is Missouri. States will pick these up to protect their citizens because a case brought by a state against another state or against the federal government gets fast tracked through the courts. Where as a case involving just a citizen will take years. The case with the cake maker took 10 years. This one just took months. Edit: The reason a state can make this type of case is that the actions of the federal government violated the state Constitution which gives the state jurisdiction to file it. I also believe members of Missouri's Congress or people within the state's administration were silenced as well.

  1166. You clearly don't know the truth. There are a massive number of kidnapped children from small towns between these countries and the border. They kidnap them because they know they're more likely to be allowed in if they have a child with them. That's why Trump was separating them at the border until they could prove they were supposed to have that child. What do you think they do with the child they have no connection to once they've used them to enter? They're usually sold into trafficking. Edit: Who's worth more a young child or one big enough and old enough to perform manual labor to a trafficker? The average age is around 12, not 17 as your implying. There are groups, mainly Christian ones, who work to try to find the children for these mothers.

Population density in metropolitan areas prevents that so things like that aren't a needed life skill. So what "life skills" does a wealthy person that can afford to go to university in France (because room and board isn't provided so they still require money to attend) have that a rural Frenchman or metropolitan one doesn't? Every law and custom was created by the French for their own country so to insinuate poor people from another country are better at being French than Frenchmen are is ridiculous. Outside of keeping the population size level, the only thing letting poor people from other countries in does is drive down wages and drive up costs. Edit: I'm not even French and don't particularly care for them, but if you're an indication of the attitude of the people they're allowing in it's understandable why they don't like them. Ungrateful and entitled.

  1173. I'm not sure how many are aware of the regulation Biden put in when he took office. It's not surprising if people don't because he did so many. There will be no gas cars manufactured in the US after 2030. Obama attempted that too, but ditched it once the many issues were brought to his attention and it wasn't popular. This is why this is Obama's 3rd term. Biden is doing everything Obama tried to, but the courts said no or it wasn't popular. He's now putting in the bathroom and changing room policy for schools that Obama tried to and got knocked down by the courts.

  1174. I think the people pushing DeSantis don't understand he's not a national figure. He's only known within certain groups that are already politically active. Normal people don't read or care about what happens in Florida if they don't live there. So believing he's got some sort of major national support isn't the truth. He's not as charismatic as Trump either and that plays heavily in national elections. This idea many have that he's less divisive than Trump also don't understand he'll be attacked just as hard and harder than Trump. They've already laid the groundwork by calling him worse than Trump in several articles. Those will be linked to and referenced in every other article if he runs along with every article about "don't say gay". They'll easily whip the plebs into a frenzy just like they'll do with Trump. Believing that because he doesn't say some of the things Trump does doesn't matter either. They'll selectively edit everything he says and make him sound worse. They'll frame it that he just hides it behind nicer rhetoric and call everything a dog whistle.

  1175.  @ericwillison4011  You've got states like California and Vermont saying they won't allow anyone that brings their child there for "affirmative care" get extricated by their home state to face charges of child abuse or kidnapping. Then you've got DeSantis saying clearly he won't protect one of the citizens of his state from clearly malicious prostitution and it just so happens that citizen is a potential political rival. It's a bad look anyway you attempt to slice it.

  1176. Legally? It depends. It has to be an explicit threat and then it comes down to intent. By explicit, I mean extremely specific.

  1177. ​ @Rokomarn  Yes Biden didn't dodge at all. He didn't forget the 13 service members his decisions cost while claiming he hadn't lost any service members on foreign soil. He completely dodged the first question about the economy and they both dodged the childcare question. He did at least finally admit there was no inflation when he took office after claiming it was over 9% when he did just a few minutes before. My favorite was him being busted in real time claiming the Border Patrol endorsed him and they immediately Twitted out that didn't and never would. The claiming Trump wanted to reduce police, not something even under the President's control, after his party has spent the last 5 years doing so was rich.

  1178. It got absolutely ridiculous under Obama. You couldn't dig a well or create a water feature on your own property without EPA approval. We're moving to Oklahoma and were looking at getting an acre or 2. My oldest son wanted a horse if we got that so I got to looking into what it requires to own one. Horses already require a lot of maintenance because of flys and their hooves. Depending on where you live, you also have to compost their waste instead of letting nature take it's course. After reading everything about the regulations, I got a picture in my head of park rangers walking around in the woods telling bears they can't poop there.

  1179. He's anti 2nd amendment, wanted to imprison climate deniers, he supports student bailouts, and supports affirmative action.

He just doesn't like the CDC. You're a single issue voter and that's what's screwed everything.

  1180. I can attest that yes, solar panels aren't much more than an EV. Bonus is the payment for them is half my current electric bill at it's max and the power company pays me during the winter when I'm producing excess power so yearly is less than that. Half my bill is before they increase it next month by 17%. It's $20,000 to add a battery, but that price should drop in the next couple of years. That's panels made in the US too. Edit: I'm in a state that there hasn't been a big market for them so as a promotional, the company pays for them for the first 18 months. It was a sweet deal.

They just put him in a corner, watch him fall asleep, and smile like you would at grandpa who doesn't have a clue what's going on at the family reunion.

  1186. The fertile crescent is where humankind originated. Just because a group attempted to live in an area doesn't make it "theirs". The deciding factor is if the succeed and held onto the area. There were attempted settlements over 3,000 years ago, but they were abandoned. If you haven't lived in an area for 3,000 years, it doesn't "belong" to you. My tribe conquered other tribes and took their land. Should we give it back even though we're all the same race or is it just the race of the people that managed to tame it and succeed that's your problem?

  1191.  @jknott1509  Libertarianism is from the enlightenment. It's what the country was founded on. Socially liberal and small federal government/fiscally conservative.

Something you take for granted now by saying it could never work. Too many people confuse libertarism with anarchism. You also confuse the party with the ideology.

You're a perfect example of not understanding how stuff works and believing the federal government is all powerful. It's been made very clear during the last year that the states can, and will, make their own rules. Hell marijuana proved that ages ago. The states can refuse to allow enforcement and can make laws contradicting federal law. The only thing they can't fight against is the Constitution, but I just pointed out Congress can't change it. There's a county in Oregon that just legalized all weapons, because they can.

  1197. I'm Native. We're still here. If they wanted to genocide us they wouldn't have given us our own sovereign territory within the country they control. Stop the noble savage nonsense. We were killing and enslaving each other. We went to war against the settlers and lost, others traded away their areas, others willingly resettled elsewhere, and a few were forced to resettle elsewhere when they could have just killed them. How can you say genocide when we're still here and they could have destroyed us at anytime? When Rome invaded areas of Europe that was still tribal and conquered them, killing and enslaving many, was that genocide? Or is it only genocide if when the same thing happens to people with different colored skin? Did you know that a lot of tribes when they'd conquer another tribe killed all the men and took the women? Were we committing genocide against ourselves? Where the Aztec, who hunted other tribes down and used them for human sacrifices committing genocide?

  1198. I haven't seen where trad means running a farm. I've seen the Tiktok videos and most of them are just women filling the traditional wife role while their significant other provides for them. As someone that wanted that 25 years ago and got it (not for religious reasons and so what if it is anyway because it's not anyone else's concern) your comment is full of false statements. I do garden and that includes growing some vegetables but that's hardly a farm. I grew up working a family farm, I'm well aware of what it is and that's not it. Yes being a wife and mother is a huge part of my identity because it's a huge part of my life. For really religious people, that is the basis that they live their life from. Would you tell a hasidic Jew to not base all their identity on it? It's so odd to me how people that get upset at other people telling them how to live, turns around and does the same thing to someone else.

  1201. Nixon was impeached he just resigned before proceedings began. Impeachment is just the filing of charges. Biden has done far worse things than Nixon, but you think he should be allowed to get his pension and be heralded as a leader until he dies because Clinton also broke the law, was/is a predator, and got away with it. He was disbarred over it meaning he violated ethics as well as the law. He lied under oath multiple times. That's why he was impeached because if a leader is willing to lie under oath he can't be trusted by the opposition or foreign leaders. A President should be held to the highest standards of the law. Edit: It's truly disturbing that people seem to think it's perfectly acceptable for the President to commit crimes and shouldn't be held accountable. They are the leaders of the Executive Branch which is the enforcement branch of the government. It's like saying police officers should be allowed to commit all the crimes they want and never be held accountable. You can't be looked at as a good enforcer if you're the one committing crimes. You must be one of the idiots that still believe it was over a bj. I bet you also believe Jefferson really did father children with a slave even though it was proven false by DNA testing.

No going through Congress who just are using impeachment as a political weapon or threat. Line item veto. Edit: Oh and no more omnibus bills. Each item must be voted on by Congress, in their seats, doing their job instead of fund raising. Trim the pork. Edit 2: More requirements for the President to send our military into foreign countries and conflicts (including using drones). Stop sending tax payer money to countries that don't support us.

Medical supplies, important medications, etc. Remove regulations that make it too difficult to create competition.

  1209. ​​ @erikjimenez8671  Everything Biden has tried to push that gives one race funds has been shot down by the courts as against the Civil Rights Act. An example is when he was trying to give black people farmland for free. The Japanese internment camps were 80 years ago, before the Civil Rights Act. They were also compensated and apologized to afterwards. Not shouting fire in a crowded theater comes from a SCOTUS decision about jailing someone for speaking out against a war during wartime and has been overturned. Pick stuff that's happened recently in regards to SCOTUS or at least something that hasn't since been overturned. Then maybe you'll have an actual point instead of just looking ignorant at best, or just outright lying at worst. Edit: You don't even see the irony of talking about the Japanese internment camps and the government giving people money for things that happened in the past together in your last sentence. You're complaining about a wrong done in the past while also complaining that they'll be compensated for it in the future.

  1211. All it takes is one business in the supply chain that creates the final product to raise their price. Then the price of production goes up and cost follows. If you think every business can afford to eat the increase, you're nuts. These increases will affect every business no matter the size. Plus, not passing on increases especially in today's volatile market, wouldn't be good business. So in reality what you end up with is an increase in the goods to make the product and then the increased tax from the government all or most of it being passed onto consumers. Edit: I make handmade goods and textile art that I sell. Any increase in cost gets passed on. Even if I buy it on sale, they are charged as if it wasn't. That's because I make very little towards the cost of my labor. An example is I made something as a gift that took 200 hours of my time to make. The most I could have of sold it for is $200 because nobody is going to pay $2000 + the cost of supplies.

  1212.  @SonoftheAllfather  I already corrected you on this. Maybe you should delete these comments you spread all over the comment section. The basis of the case was affirmative action is unconstitutional. That's what the Supreme Court decisions are based on. It's their only job. Every decision is based off of the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't state anywhere "this only applies to a specific race". The wording of the decision is what decides how it's applied and it said nothing about only Asian students. It affects ALL college admissions going forward just like Bruen affected ALL state firearm restrictions and not just New York.

It's ever evolving and humans thinking they have the power to just freeze the whole process is just ego. That's why I'm a conservationist. I want to protect certain areas for as long as possible and understand we can preserve species in small controlled environments so they're available to be seen and observed by future generations long after they're no longer sustainable in the wild. Then the entire process can be seen in real time.

  1228.  @nolwino  This is to your evolution, picking mate thing. Humans also have these things called contraceptives. We also have pills that prevent implantation. Because we have evolved brains, we can make decisions for ourselves like who we have sex with that we are all very aware could result in a pregnancy. There's such a thing as personal responsibility. As to Down Syndrome, because you are disabled and hate yourself, you're projecting that onto the unborn. Most Down Syndrome children born now are self sufficient. The reason they weren't in generations past is because they were hidden and not taught. Society viewed them as unable to learn. That's not true. Those that grew up, especially after Gen X, went to school, got an education, and are able to live alone. Tossing someone away because they aren't perfect is detrimental to the gene pool. A wide variety of different genes creates a stronger species. As a species evolves, those evolutions will be seen as birth defects because they are different. So eliminating every possible pregnancy that has a birth "defect" will prevent the species from advancing. Unfortunately society goes through periods were it tries to create and force perfection. The group lead by the funny mustache man wasn't unique at that time in that endeavor. Those periods of time are always looked back at in horror and as unethical. Just because we're living in such a time now, doesn't mean everyone has to be forced to participate. Edit: Sickle Cell isn't a birth defect. It's only an issue in the west. It's an evolutionary response to malaria. People born in areas with malaria it's a bonus, not a defect. Hence my advancement point. You clearly aren't a person that needs to be deciding what is and isn't a defect.

He also refused to sign a section of the Patriot Act until it was reworked so we weren't under nearly as much of the domestic spying as we had been. Biden signed it immediately. That had bipartisan support but not enough unfortunately. The wall has been on it since the beginning and he delivered once he was able to secure funding. I'll also say a President that listens to the people isn't a bad thing and is what the job is supposed to be.

  1239. Young black men are voting more Republican and the Democrats were counting on the Hispanic vote, but it's split down the middle. There should be a large group of MAGA installed into the House this election which has most of the investigative powers. GOP only needs to take a single new seat in the Senate to turn it. Even if the Democrats retain control of the Senate, they won't be able to get anything past the House. Everything has to go through both to be enacted. There are multiple things being done right now. Outside of federal elections, there is a drive to enact a Constitutional Convention of states. The GOP only needs to gain control of 1 or 2 more states to call one. That allows the people to bypass the federal government to propose Amendments. 3 can be proposed, they can't give power to the federal government, and they still require ratification by the states. This is a work around created by the founders to take back power if the federal government gets too large or ceases to function properly.

  1246.  @disenfranchised2.073  Wow! That's not true at all. The people running for President in the final general election pick their running mate. It used to be that the runner up in the election was VP so that if something did happen to the President they were replaced with someone the people voted for, but it hasn't been like that in a long time. Nobody voted for VP. If that was the case Kamala wouldn't be VP because she only had 3% before she dropped out. Technically the electoral representatives can vote against their state vote, but it's illegal in many to do so. It happened one time that changed the election results so states put in preventive measures after that. Edit: Before the general Presidential election is held each candidate has their running mate already. So how is it picked by the electoral college when it's decided before anyone even votes? This is why Civics needs to be taught again.

  1247. I made the mistake of reading wikipedia. Apparently Populism is "radicalism" for some reason. It was interesting when some of the works calling it that were published. It was when the left, once again, were becoming violent. Not long before they started bombing stuff. I remember seeing some of it on the news when I was young. They even acknowledged that Populism in the US is not like it is in Europe, but still claimed it's dangerous. Anyone that knows US history knows it's always been Populism that cleans out the system when it gets too corrupt. Everyone remember that when they try to claim you've been radicalized and try to convince you it's evil and bad. Edit: Past Presidents that were populists include Cleveland, Teddy Roosevelt, JFK, and Reagan to give you an idea. I suggest looking at politically what was going on at the time they were elected to understand why this is a cycle.

  1249. You'd be wrong. There absolutely have been times when the father decides he's not going to support her at a late stage of the pregnancy and the woman has ended it. You think a woman that does that is going to shout it from the rooftops? It doesn't matter anyway because the exception is there if the life is threatened ,though birth is the cure so ending the child again isn't necessary. It's coming out alive or dead so might as well be alive. It shouldn't be a legal option to make sure it doesn't occur. You're literally doing a meme "it's not happening so why make it illegal?" To make sure it doesn't happen. Edit: "Danger to the mother" at late stage includes mental health. As I said everything late stage that's dangerous to the mother is cured by delivery of the baby so ending it when it will most likely live is ridiculous. At that stage she'll still have to go through delivery which is the dangerous part so it makes zero medical sense.

  1250. The only time a 3rd trimester one should be allowed is if the baby has a condition that's not detectable until then that will cause the baby to suffer for a few hours or days and die. As someone that's had a couple of the medical conditions that would allow it for the life of the mother, I find it crazy for the reasons I mentioned. Most people that support it haven't had a baby or are not well informed on the conditions. I was simply induced and closely monitored with a surgery room on standby incase I required an emergency csection. Once you're in labor medications can be administered to control what's happening to the mother's body. She just can't breastfeed afterwards. With modern medicine and practices it's extremely rare for anything really horrible to occur that can't be prevented. You only see it in women that didn't seek prenatal care.

  1251. Several said that's why they voted Whitmore in Michigan because the Republican running took Lindsey Graham's bait and went full ban. Unfortunately a lot currently running aren't suave politicians so they don't know when to or how to avoid a question or properly answer to not alienate a group of voters. They need mentors that can help them through that. More experienced people that are populist that they can get in touch with. The organization side of the movement just isn't there yet and it won't be if we're constantly butting heads with party leadership. Edit: I'm not advocating that people running give up their principles. They just need to understand the limits of the power they are taking on and what they can and can't do. Banning that isn't a governor's power, but a legislative one so her personal views are irrelevant and she needed to be made aware of that. The correct answer in that situation is, it's a legislative issue that the people will decide. For a federal position the correct answer is it just went back to the states and that's where it needs to stay. It's not a federal issue right now.

Both times he was arrested, he was charged and one ended in a conviction and the other would have too. Tate has been held twice, never officially charged with anything, and released. Edit: You aren't officially charged until you go before the judge. Your initial arrest is on suspected charges. Even with a warrant arrest. That just means a judge believes there's enough evidence that another judge will charge you. The other judge could not agree, but it's unlikely.

It's hard to believe we're at the point that a student taking a scholarship without knowing or caring who it's from is now ammunition against them later.

Even after that, many of them end up going back because they can't deal with making everyday choices. It overwhelms them. Now imagine that on a religious level coupled with everyone that doesn't think exactly like you is an enemy of God that must be eradicated. Contrary to what some push, it's not just Jews. It's Christians, atheists, and Muslims of a different sect. If you want to take the chance they won't one day harm you because they've been taught to believe that since birth, feel free to take them. Just saying "surely they can be made to think differently" is easy to say while making others take the risk.

  1280. Not looking at the trailer. The premise had potential, but this ain't it. Originally I thought it was going to be poking fun of the movie trope it's named after and be like White Girls or something. Unfortunatly it misses the mark into far too much modern day for a trope created in the 70s. For example the meter to measure huwhite people is called "white tears". I am definitely not the audience this is made for. One that looks like it's going to be a much better comic critique of the modern era is American Fiction.

  1281. The insanity that ruling a former President can be charged will create is frightening.

  1282. The protests have been much smaller and not as "effective" as the Floyd ones were. I think Democrats forget people had been locked up for months at that point and the Floyd fury was more a response to that. By November most people will realize the decision really doesn't affect them at all. As I expected, some of the states with trigger laws are instituting more restrictive measures instead of going full ban. Lessening the impact of their rhetoric even more. Edit: It appears many are choosing to keep available the chemical option which accounts for 50% of them and just prevents implantation. Hence Tennessee's 6 week ban. I've been looking at statistics in those states and close or more than 80% of them already occur within the first 8 weeks. Which I imagine the majority will set the limit near there instead of going Oklahoma's route.

  1283.  @xbin87116  That depends on what part of Oklahoma. A Supreme Court decision gave most of the state back to the Natives because it was originally almost all reservations for the 5 tribes. The names of all the parks have changed to the tribe that's in the area and I can be stopped by Tribal police or county police because they work together. Other than that, not much seems to have changed. Most of the changes are in the who can be prosecuted by who.

  1284. So California gives reparations to black people when they never owned slaves and ignore the Natives? This isn't going to go down well. A lot of people aren't aware, but under Obama Congress had a hearing and committee on reparations for Natives. Congress said no. This entire ongoing conversation is a slap in the face to groups the federal government committed actual crimes against and still are. The last crime committed was under Obama when the government stole funds from the trust the government controls under Indian Affairs that's payments from companies to mine or drill on Native lands. They should also pay for all the money the government has stolen from Social Security. I think paying restitution for real recent crimes would be a much more useful conversation.

Unless we can change that, and we can't, there's little we can actually do. We should be preparing for the change, not trying to fight against it.

Your analysis is also leaving out that all but 2 states just put it to first term, which is when the majority of abortions occur, and not a ban. Which means the majority of the party doesn't support an outright ban. I'm gonna call that out because it's a mischaracterization of what's going on inside the country. You're failing to be objective on this issue.

  1302. A lot depends on where you live and when your family got here. I am a descendent of Native American, but I know exactly who was the ancestor and my family has been here since the 1600s. She's the only ancestor with no surname. The reason she didn't have one is because when the tribe was defeated most of them joined the English. A condition was they had to get baptized. After which they were given an English name. So her name was just Elizabeth. As for your DNA test, it depends on which one you took. Full blood Natives refuse to take them, making them incredibly inaccurate for that group. It's why even Algonquin groups come back South American even though they're the group that crossed the land bridge and are found in Canada and along the East Coast. Edit: There are believed to have been 3 migrations. The one across the land bridge and 2 by boat into South America later by a different group of Asians. It's why we look and are colored differently. The reason when your family got here can be a factor is because in the 1600s and early 1700s, there was a lot of inter marriage between all groups.

They said it was done because Trump was making the election basically unstable by saying mail in ballots were bad. That was in response to their law changes they claim was for the virus, yet they say it started in 2019. That means every reason they said for doing it was a lie in an attempt to justify their actions to you and themselves. The fact that they bragged about it speaks volumes about them as well. It's literally something Putin would say. In fact it's not unlike his "vote" in Crimea. Edit to add: Your attempt to justify their stalking and intimidating public officials and their families is truly disturbing as well. In no civilized society is that acceptable nor is threatening businesses with unleashing a violent mob on them which was bragged about as well.

There was even a response from the School board when she petitioned them about it. They cited a statement from a case involving it and a post office worker. The finding of that investigation was it couldn't be verified to be associated with supremacist groups so undetermined. Throwing that possiblity into the mix as some sort of justification for their actions is called a deflection. A bait and switch. "Well he did have these other patches" is irrelevant to what was happening then. I'll put out given that patch the other one was likely the "Come and take it" Texas cannon that was made about their fight for independence. So not a "gun" patch, but another flag that embodies the American fight for freedom. Edit: I don't know where these claims are coming from, but if it's from the school it's difficult to believe they have any idea what anything else he was wearing signifies since they did that over the Don't Tread on me flag.

  1315.  @js7un165  There's zero evidence to support the claim the money came from campaign funds. It doesn't matter why he paid them. Paying someone to protect a run for office isn't against campaign finance laws as long as the money wasn't from that fund. Plus campaign finance laws are federal. He wasn't running for a state office so that charge doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of New York. Edit: Stormy Daniels has lost every case she's tried to bring against him. She signed an NDA after the payment which is common in any settlement. A lot of wealthy people and celebrities get accused of stuff and they settle for a small amount to just make it go away even of they didn't do anything. It's because it's cheaper to pay someone a couple hundred thousand than spend close to a million fighting it in court. Aside from the political stuff, this sets a terrible precedent for everyone going forward.

Thomas was one of the few that practiced extensively before being appointed. They also can't say how they'd decide on hypothetical cases. Doing so would be an automatic no. Every case is completely dependent on the facts and arguments presented by both sides. Edit: Every section of the Constitution has massive amounts of case law that pertains to it. It's impossible to know all of it off the top of your head. Not to mention each clause and word can have multiple interpretations over the 200+ years.

  1327. I've enjoyed all the people making excuses. Most seems to have landed on it's too high, we can't reach it. Which to me is worse. If we can't shootdown a balloon in low orbit, we can't shootdown a nuke that's in it either which I've been assured we can. So which is it military? I believe that's close to the same height as China's hypersonic missile that they moved quickly in and out of our airspace a year or two ago.

  1328. Agree. Trump's speeches about hope are what propelled him to victory. He's got to get off the whining. He needs to focus on making people be held accountable for the extended lockdowns and swallow his pride on the warp speed thing. Or at least understand his audience doesn't think it's something to brag about. He's black pilling his own base. It's amazing to me that every President until 2nd term Obama ran on a populist platform. They didn't fulfill it obviously, but they ran on it. Clinton got elected on making it harder to scam welfare and immigration. Obama's first term platform was extremely populist. Now it's a dirty word. McConnell knew if all these candidates won, McCarthy wouldn't be voted in as Speaker and he would lose control. I'm sick of these people playing power games with our lives and livelihoods.

The Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment to keep them from being easily influenced based on who's in charge. Whoever appointed them will be out of power soon in their service. It's also to prevent whims from having as big an impact as they could. They have a check by Congress and can be removed.

It's employees that are in powerful positions that aren't appointments.

  1340. That is in response to his scenario of who gets power back first. Similar scenarios have occurred so there's already a plan in place for it. The posts referring to California is because a similar attack occurred there a few years ago and no one was ever caught. No one is saying it's not an attack. The propaganda is the press blaming one group or another when there is zero evidence of it. You just read comments and the title instead of watching the video and it shows.

Think North Korea as far as levels of basically brainwashing they've been under since birth. The UN has a special refugee program for them apart from everyone else. Pretty much anyone in the area not on board with the ideas there leave. Just like when it comes to North Koreans it would take years to reprogram them if they even can be. The people don't leave even though they're warned because to them, they're martyrs guaranteeing them a spot in heaven. For people who can't understand that type of thinking all they see is "innocents". While I do feel sorry for them, I also understand their beliefs and how far they'd go. Edit: They see every Jew, Christian, and Muslim that doesn't follow their sect as enemies to be eliminated or forced to follow their beliefs.

  1364. Not true. Jefferson himself intentionally tested the Constitution on this by Christianity as Virginia’s state religion to see if it would be allowed.

Everything in the Constitution is to protect the people from the government and that includes government forced religion.

  1366. Polling shows 10% of Democrats care about the Roe decision and slightly fewer independents. Living in a state that made it illegal before the decision, I can say it hasn't stopped people from California moving here, so they aren't that upset about it. The number of cars with California plates has only increased. There's no polling showing it's going to be a determining factor come election. Which is why suddenly the branch that said it has no impact on gas prices is suddenly taking credit for a drop in global oil prices. What's funny is they think everyone should congratulate them and vote because it came down a few cents when it's still higher than most people can afford.

  1368. Where does the majority supports 20 weeks come from? That's not the current law. This isn't about majority anyway, it's about science. Just like declaring someone dead is based on scientific evidence so should life. It shouldn't be determined by activists or personal opinions. The current agreement of viability has been disregarded by the left. New York now allows late term abortions. They pushed this issue by doing that. The majority of the world has a limit of 12 or so weeks because theirs is based on science just like ours should be. It's extremely unlikely Roe v Wade will be tossed. The lawyers for the state don't believe that and the legislatures that put in these laws (at the request of their citizens) don't either. The only people that think that are the MSM.

I do know that's not how it's laid out to function in the Constitution.

You had the choice to wallow is self pity and drive yourself crazy worrying about when the end would finally come or you could live everyday like there was no tomorrow and enjoy it while you could. We picked the latter and they've chosen the former. The latter was a helluva great time. Edit: No they don't make things for a global audience. They make it so it can be easily edited to distribute to a global audience. Big difference.

That's why they'll never allow a 3rd party on the Presidential debate stage again. He lost the momentum when he briefly pulled out due to credible death threats to his daughter and her family who aren't given protection during the election process. He also pulled votes from both sides fairly evenly, which they also leave out.

Just like Trump knew to pullout of Afghanistan during a holiday when they go a long period without attacks due to the requirements of that particular religious holiday. Had that timeline not been abandoned by Biden because he wanted the symbolism of doing it on 9/11, none of what occurred would have.

  1393. Yes. A massive number of lawsuits they can’t win. Which will led to discovery of them taking orders from the government. Thus acting as an agent of the state which will allow for a massive number of lawsuits against the government. Creating new legal precedent that it’s all illegal. Then every time after they ban someone, they’ll be subjected to a possible lawsuit. Meaning they’ll be very careful who they ban. Edit: Previous lawsuits being thrown out due to 230 protections is what’s caused what has happened. Once the companies couldn’t be held liable for any decisions, they went nuts with banning.

  1397.  @lukemcevoy2385  Max hit the nail on the head. Too many corporations became dependent on investors rather than customers. They wanted to keep expanding when their wallets said not yet or predict where the next new trend will be to jump on it quickly. We've effectively been in a recession since the pandemic and that was another huge money sink for businesses. All the new stuff and workers they had to hire to comply with the regulations during it didn't just come from those government loans. They all had to implement home delivery, put up all these barriers, limit in store shopping, etc. That was a big hit across the board. They will never recoup that money because none of it was done to increase sales but to just continue to be able to operate. So now everybody needs loans to keep going and keep expanding but interest rates are high. So they know they're going to be stuck with these new loans for a long time because they'll barely be able to just pay the interest on them every year.

  1400. These things being proven just cements why the institutions and the press are no longer trusted. The pandemic destroyed the trust in medical institutions and these have proven the mistrust in the other institutions was deserved. Then the government, both sides, calls you bad for not trusting the institutions. Never acknowledging their the cause of the destruction of that trust. We're caught in a cycle and there's no way out until the government is brought to heel and works to stop the erosion of trust rather than continue to blame the people for not just blindly trusting it.

The only people that got canceled then were TV preachers that weren't following what they preach. A prime example of how it's not close to the same is the boycott on Protector and Gamble. There was a boycott for years because it was said their company symbol was satanic. They never really suffered financially and the symbol is still the same. Now a Twitter comment with less than 100 likes would see the company bending over backwards. They are similar, but not really comparable.

If he's invisible for 2-3 years before the next Presidential election, which he will be because he won't be making policy decisions in Florida, he'll likely lose his momentum going into 2028.

  1419. The sheriff was not at the table. I know this because he had a press conference so I know what he looks like and he's not any of the overweight white guys at the table. The metro police can nod all they like, but they're controlled by the Mayor not the governor. Sheriffs are elected officials unlike city or state police. That's why during the lockdowns a lot of them refused to enforce them. Edit: This edict covers two areas so that means 2 different sheriffs or more depending on how many counties those areas encompass.

  1420. They'd have to be convicted of a crime before that could be determined though. Being charged doesn't automatically mean they're guilty. That's why, according to the Constitution, they have to be impeached for that crime first. Then they will have been found guilty prior to criminal prosecution. Edit: That's why they attempted to impeach him as he was leaving office. So he could face criminal charges afterwards. The Constitution allows for high crimes. Which he's not been charged with anything that would be considered one. Using the legal resources set up within the Constitution to question the validity of an election isn't a crime as much as they want it to be. Filling a case knowing you'll probably lose isn't one either.

  1423. Correction on the charges. They are charged with sedition which is speech inciting people to rebel. An insurrection is the violent rebelling. This charge has only seen conviction 12 times in our history and most of that was the Civil War. First problem is they have to get over the 1st amendment. Then they have to prove an insurrection occurred. Since no one has even been convicted of it, that's another uphill battle. I'm going to say this is strictly a political charge to try to use it in an attempt to bar some Republicans from running for reelection. I think it will fail miserably. I also think if this is how they want to play, gloves off when they lose control of the government.

  1424. Yes that's when it started. Then the FBI targeted all parents that were going to school board meetings as domestic terrorists. It later was revealed that the Teacher's Union had asked the FBI to do that and just like during the pandemic, the government took orders from the Union. This is exactly why even though I'm pro Union, I'm against them for government employees. It gives unelected people authority over the people which is a violation of the Constitution's checks and balances.

  1427.  @SquarishLink  SAT or ACT wasn't required for most colleges when I went, but they were available. You could take an entrance exam that also allowed you to clep some of your basic classes. I was able to skip most of my first 2 years of basic studies. You don't get that with the supposed superior SAT. Then again it was much more difficult to get into college than now because the government didn't guarantee student loans.

  1436. Any animal has the potential to do harm. A horse that gets frightened and trampled it's owner is a prime example. That horse performed every duty it's supposed to. It would carry it's owner around, changing speed and direction upon command, jumping when prompted, ie well trained. That's how you determine if an animal is well trained. Any animal at anytime can turn. It can be due to circumstances it's suddenly found itself in or just general neurological decline that occurs over time. That would explain the 11 year old dog that suddenly turns aggressive. Even physical decline can cause it because they are in pain and that can cause them to be aggressive. In those circumstances, it absolutely is on the owner to pay attention and notice any changes in behavior. The animal can't tell them "I'm not feeling good. I keep forgetting things and my knees hurt really bad". So according to you because that's always a risk with absolutely every animal and none can be controlled 24/7 for their entire lives, that means they shouldn't exist and no one is allowed to them. Make no mistake, the possibility exists with every single domesticated animal.

  1442.  @haroutunsarkisyan8050  California has attempted to put in legislation that if a child dies within a few months, there will be no investigation into their death. That's legalized infanticide. Democrats refuse to support legislation that states if a baby survives an abortion it's illegal to kill it. What do you think happens now when that occurs? The baby, now alive outside of the womb, is terminated. Yes, they support infanticide. Edit: Also once a child can survive outside the womb, an abortion at that stage would be infanticide as well. If someone causes an accident with a pregnant woman and the baby is viable the person that caused the accident is charged with that baby's death. You don't get to claim it's murder in one instance and not in another. Either it is or it isn't. Who causes the death legally should be irrelevant.

I'll remind you people within the FBI helped Hillary create the dossier, knew it was fake, and allowed a 3 year investigation to take place. The institutions have been weaponized by the DNC against their political opposition and any dissidents. It doesn't matter who you appoint if those below them refuse to do their jobs and hide and coverup stuff. On top of that you've got the political nature of courts. Particularly DC. No jury or federal judge in DC are going to convict her. Her lawyer that orchestrated the debacle just got a slap on the wrist for using false information to go after a sitting President. The President isn't a dictator that can't just order people be put in prison. That's a good thing. I'd rather a President not violate the Constitution to appease people like you.

  1453. I hate articles like this because they are framing it as being helpful and it's anything but. The buy in bulk is good, but you've got to watch the prices on that. A lot of things will be more expensive. They do that because the amount you get looks like a good deal until you do the math. Plus you've got to have room to store it. Watch for local grocery store sales on canned goods like vegetables and stock up when they are on sale because they will last for a couple of years and are easy to stack and store in a dry place. Stop buying coffee on your way to work. Get a big insulated cup and make it at home to take with you. Instead of buying bottled water buy a small filtration system that's either a jug or attached under the sink. Learn old recipes from the depression era. They knew how to make small amounts of meat stretch to make several servings (I have recipes from my grandmother that can feed a family of 6 using 1 chicken breast and they are tasty). That's what I can think of to drastically reduce your costs. Edit: Everything else I can think of is common stuff environmentalists and conservationist will say. Like cut off the top of gallon milk jugs or 2 liter bottles, poke holes in the bottom, and use to plant herbs. Basically just buy stuff that's reusable or you can find a secondary use for. Even doing those things and planting flowers from seeds will give you something to do since you won't be able to afford all the streaming services soon.

They're still pretty much exactly like they were back then and it's still not black. The 25th dynasty was black but that was because they conquered Egypt with the help of the priests. That didn't magically make all the Egyptian people become black. You watched a fraudulent show and will now ignore the hundreds of other documentaries that say they weren't. Why? Why would hundreds of documentaries, many done by people from region, be lying? Logic says the one claiming the opposite of the hundreds well resourced and researched offical documentaries is clearly the lie.

It's no different than slavery except they're willingly doing it to themselves. Then the majority of the money they make is sent back to their home countries removing it from the US economy and into their home country's messing it's economy up along with ours. Both sides understood illegal immigration was a problem and suppressed wages until recently. They both gladly funded the fence built under Obama and tougher immigration policies. Illegals were afraid to be caught because they knew they'd be deported pretty quickly. Now they come openly and brag about it knowing it'll take years to deport them. It's insanity. Edit: In a year we have the number of illegals enter the country that were given amnesty under Reagan and that was a build up of decades.

There are a couple of national organizations that have formed to give parents the information they need, how to stop it, and helping them organize to do so. Parents are kicking out school board members pushing it and taking control of it themselves. Some are demanding body cameras for the teachers to make sure they aren't teaching it. 25 states have banned it or have introduced legislation to do so, spurred by parents. You can either join the fight or get the hell out of the way because you've messed with our children and the mama bear has awakened.

Because she was his political opponent, it would have had the appearance of partisanship coming from the government. It's normally okay to go after people within a former administration for clear wrongdoing, but you avoid the President. That's why Ford pardoned Nixon. The Democrats have now put the country into the position of prosecutions being the only way to restore any faith in the system. The people will demand justice for the government trampling on their rights and showing clear partisanship and corruption. If the next President refuses to do that, I honestly don't know how much longer we'll stand as a republic.

  1502. I'm looking at that, wondering where they think the roots are going to go. I used railroad ties. You always leave a small space for runoff between them. Unless you live in the desert, there will be some sort of rainy season that sees a lot of rainfall. Leaves and small twigs sure, but there's a couple of logs in there, taking up way too much room. Bags of garden soil usually will contain some small twigs already breaking down in it. Where I live, the city does composting that's available for free for all residents. We get a load of it and mix it into the soil, and it creates a great gardening base. You remove the sod, use a hoe and break up the soil, then I use a small tiller and mix compost into the soil several inches deep.

  1511. It seems a lot missed the part of speech where he was talking about making the treatment more easily available. That's right folks, for over a year there has been a treatment available that reduces hospitalizations and death just as much as the jabs and the government has intentionally been keeping low stockpiles of it. It reduces it by 85% no matter the strain, which is better than all the jabs against the current one.

  1513. Because there are many people like me who can't take vaccines or who have autoimmune diseases which causes our bodies to not produce antibodies like a normal person. We're more susceptible to diseases because of it too. There are cancer patients who due to treatment have had their immune systems wiped out. I don't care if you don't take a flu shot, the new one, HPV, chicken pox, etc. Those are minor diseases that have a low death rate associated with them. Polio, Measles, etc are a death sentence to us and the very young who haven't been fully vaccinated yet. That's where the line is in 98% of society.

The problem is that the good ones were never asked to leave power so they couldn't refuse to give it up. Then their predecessors always screwed it up and got greedy and bad. That's the problem with dictatorships. You get the first leader that the people adore and then when they die, it goes to hell.

Putin doesn't kill his political rivals that are any real threat, has never poisoned journalists, and never spys on his own people. The young Russian men are lining up in droves to be pressed into service. He just instituted the draft for shits and giggles and they are all well equipped by the Russian government. Plenty of supplies for all. Edit: Zelenskyy not being a good guy doesn't make Putin the good guy.

  1520. It is intentional, or at least at this point it is. This is them trying to create the "New world order" they've been harping about. To turn from liberalism and democracy into something else. I don't know what the something else is that they have planned, but I know I'm not a fan. I imagine it's going to be even more globalism and socialism if not an autocratic system. Edit: This comes from the praise I saw about China during the pandemic and since along with the Democrats trying to cast Biden as a new FDR. FDR brought about the New Deal and the current world order of liberalism and spreading democracy. He managed to ram through a lot of legislation due to the the Great Depression. Putting us in a similar situation they are hoping will create a similar atmosphere.

  1521. He's gone in as a passive stockholder. That's a longterm investment. It means you have no intention of selling. Contrary to what I've seen claimed in other comment sections, that doesn't mean he doesn't own voting shares. It's usually the type that mutual funds do and they don't vote. It has been being used as a way to do a hostile takeover more often in recent years and some groups are lobbying that the rules be changed to not allow them to vote.

You can’t educate someone beyond the level they’re able to learn and that level has dropped.

  1525.  @unbreakable7633  I did. If the other party in your public act is consenting, they aren't being harmed. That's what "bad for society" means. You're saying a community can't set any standards. So a community that forms that's Christian and sets rules based on that can have an outsider come in and force the rest to abide by what they want. That's not for you to decide. Again, even the most extreme allow for expulsion from a community if someone doesn't abide by the rules set by it, but you're saying it's not allowed. Edit: Since the entire post is about public spaces, I guess how dare me assume you're staying on topic? Edit 2: And to clarify the abuse thing. Many cultures don't consider that harmful. Some don't consider gr@pe harmful. In 7th grade a girl was pregnant by her father because it was acceptable in his culture. You're standard of "harm" isn't shared by everyone. It's a standard you're arguing against.

Just like all these cases, it'll backfire.

  1530. Columbia is a private university. They are not subject to free speech. You tell people to send kids to private schools or home school only to undermine them with stuff like this. It’s because they are not subject to the government and therefore the Constitution that makes them better alternatives. You’re arguing to eliminate all private schools if you’re saying they should be treated like a public school. Public schools are subject to the Constitution because they are a part of the government. You do not have free speech at private schools. Columbia is private property. So you now don’t like private property and people being able to set rules for it?

  1531. Agree. This isn't new. Whenever there's a boycott or people speaking out on the right there's someone in the comments going "I thought cancel culture was bad". Then someone happily points out that you can't "cancel" a company. That there's a big difference in deciding not to spend YOUR money somewhere and attacking a company to fire an individual, their landlord to kick them out, and removing their livelihoods because that individual said something YOU didn't like. Especially if it's just some peon that has no power anyway (which 90% of the time it is). They don't go after the big guys because they know they don't have that much power. Instead they target some little guy that said something as simple as they voted for Trump, send a massive number of emails and Twitter complaints, claim they don't "feel safe" with that person working there, an article is written about them, and now their lives are ruined forever.

Was in a bad neighborhood and was the first house done on the street. They even had a clawfoot tub in it.

Many did stockpile water and ran it in their bathtubs to prepare. The water froze. Almost all apartments are electric everything so they couldn't use their stove to keep heat. They can't have a wood burning anything either. I would have built a fire in the parking lot, melted snow, and boiled it to have water. It may not be the best quality, but you won't die. I'm not going to be angry at people that simply don't have the space or control to prepare for something like this.

  1535. Russia was banned from all Olympics due to cheating and using steroids. That has nothing to do with the war. That's why the very few Russian athletes that competed did so under the Olympic flag this winter. You're conflating two completely separate things. There's a documentary about how they figured how to get around the security of the tests and cheat using someone else's urine or their own that they'd stored. It was done by the government so they got banned. Edit: An athlete blew the whistle on it.

  1536. They absolutely should. Funny how that wasn't a problem when they were able to be filed in bankruptcy before Obama. Maybe it's because bankruptcy requires more than it appears you're aware of. Parents income plays into it until you're a certain age. Just like their income determines your grants and loans. If you default on your loans they'll not only come after you, but your parents as well.

Rome enslaved and committed genocide. Look at the tribal wars in Africa. That's just what war is.

There's a reason he doesn't do press conferences like every other president has done. He makes a quick statement , takes no questions, and wanders off the stage. He still messes that up half the time. Just like they thought all these indictments would tank him, this isn't going to look how they think.

Trying to shame a content creator on YouTube to use some fictitious power you've made up to do something you want. The US is running out of missiles and Germany out of bullets. Ukraine doesn't have the pilots to fly those planes which is why they're using drones. You have no actual understanding of what's capable, but know all the solutions anyway. Edit: Russia ran out of smart missiles awhile ago and that's why there was an uptick in civilian casualties and missed targets. The US has several manufacturers so we can keep just making more.

  1543.  @demodiums7216  We produce more medical research than all other countries in the world combined by a lot. They benefit from us. Plus every system has a private option so there's still private insurance available, private hospitals, and private doctors. The care between the rich and poor won't change and it's cute that you think it will. You're average care will just decline to what the poor have now. I know, my husband is Canadian and I gave birth there in a government hospital. It was a horrible experience. My government covered Medicaid that paid for the birth of my second child in the US was far better. In Canada I had pretty much no control over my care. Edit to add: Your claim of better outcomes based on healthcare system is also flawed because it's much more likely due to a healthier lifestyle. Especially when you factor in they have a percentage of their population die waiting for care/lack of care than we do.

Ours is wired into our house so we flip a switch and we can run everything but the dryer. The grocery stores ran out of food and the town was almost out of gas by the time the roads cleared enough that delivery trucks could finally get through. I don't think people fully understand how bad that storm was.

  1549. Disagree. Why should they be punished for the stupidity of the government? You should have to do the same for taking the deductions the government gives you on your taxes if we're going down that road. Youd get a mark for Earned Income Credit, a mark for writing off medical expenses, people that adopt will get a mark because the government pays them back part of those expenses. For taking the government incentive for buying an electric car, solar panels, or for buying certain appliances or insulation, etc. My taxes are paying for this, so why shouldn't my son get some of my money? You're punishing the individual for the actions of the government which is ridiculous. Edit: I bought solar panels so I'm getting $17,000 from the government for doing so. You'd say that's just me getting back some of the taxes I've paid in, but don't hold the same view on this even though they've been paying taxes as well and so have their families.

  1552. Everyone should be prepared. If Trump wins, hell if ANY Republican wins, there will be violence. When a group begins to lose the control they've enjoyed, they lash out. The more control they lose the more desperate and violent they become. Being old enough to remember the late 70s and early 80s, I'm well aware of what's going to occur. As Democrats lost control then we had bombings, kidnappings, and large scale robberies. Two attempts were made to end every Republican in Congress by bombing the chambers. I expect even worse as the rhetoric leading up to it has become worse. Back then you at least didn't have Democrats in Congress openly calling for violence and celebrating it like there is now. Don't let that deter anyone from voting. We got through it then and we'll get through it again. The good thing that came out if it was the left had to make a dramatic move toward the right to center. Otherwise they wouldn't exist today. Then the right got too comfortable in power and started becoming authoritarian. The difference is there was no violence as they lost control, but the left is ALWAYS violent when they do.

  1557. This is response to a few things. One is the upcoming Supreme Court case about the Florida and Texas laws preventing big tech from banning, the court case Biden recently lost about the federal government using big tech to silence people, and a FOIA request that revealed the Disinformation Board was exactly what it was accused of being. They were indeed claiming to have authority over truth and prosecution powers. It's making me very curious about what's going to be presented at the upcoming Supreme Court case. The rest is already in the public record, though the people investigating the defunct Disinformation board are suing for records they've been denied. What they manage to get will also be interesting. I'm also pretty sure Musk recently busted some activity in the Election integrity group at Twitter (X). Edit: The decision in the Missouri V Biden case has opened the door for more lawsuits which means even more discovery. It's getting interesting right before the election. The upcoming Supreme Court case isn't likely to enshrine 1st Amendment protection in social media. What it's most likely going to do is more narrowly define 230 and if social media is a publisher or a public platform and what those two things mean. I do believe it's going to result in massive changes to social media, but this is a conservative court and they don't like to stomp on businesses.

  1558.  @j0n.p  How is it flawed? Trump is a citizen of Florida. DeSantis said he won't get involved, as in he won't try to prevent extradition if Trump is indicted. It's a malicious prostitution and politically motivated. Not protecting one of your citizens from that isn't a good look. The fact that they're a potential political adversary in an upcoming primary makes it look even worse. At best, DeSantis is saying publicly he won't protect his citizens from malicious prostitution from another state. At worst, DeSantis is saying he's just as politically dirty as every other politician and will ignore corruption if it's politically advantageous. Basically DeSantis will grandstand on certain cultural issues that he knows aren't popular in the first place, but he won't stand against the establishment.

  1560. Because that's when the Disability Act was put into place. It's been defined in court cases what reasonable is. It's if a person is capable of performing the task but just needs space for a wheelchair. They also must have been found to be disabled, as in beyond their control, for it to be required. So if the job requirement is to be able to lift 100 lbs and the person has only one arm, no prosthetic, or one that can't bare that amount of weight no not being hired isn't discrimination because no amount of accommodation would allow them to. Being tall or overweight isn't a disability according to the federal government so that isn't protected under it. Edit: Being comfortable isn't a reasonable accommodation. So if they're too tall, but can squeeze in then there's no issue. The accommodation also must not require extreme lengths to be performed. In the example of the one armed person, the company is not required to provide them with a prosthetic that would allow them to perform the task. There are many, many court cases that more narrowly define the terms.

  1563. They are only paying attention to Twitter bots on what voters want. I loved the shock on the MSNBC woman asking a small panel of mothers what they thought on these issues and they ALL were against this stuff on both sides of the aisle. Simply looking at polling would tell them they're losing issues. One came out after the decision leaked and it asked if people supported unrestricted or a ban. If those are the only options, it's overwhelmingly a ban, yet they keep pushing unrestricted. That's why they didn't get the uptick in support that was expected after the decision.

  1564.  @presidentmerkinmuffley6769  What's really funny is how you seem to believe that the right and left differ strongly on race, religion, and immigration. Obama deported the most illegals ever, but Reagan gave citizenship to them. Until last election both sides supported border security including a barrier of some sort , both courted the religious vote by mentioning God regularly and making the fact they regularly attend church well known, and you only have to look at Biden and his long career with the DNC to see how they really feel about the minorities they claim to champion. So by claiming every attack that involves race or immigration is alt right is just an attempt to frame one side as "bad" when both sides, in practice, are capable of producing extremists with the same ideology. To label them alt right is based on how most other countries view those sides, but that's not how they are in US politics. In fact, historically speaking, the DNC is more likely to produce them than Republicans because they are the party that created the KKK and didn't support the Civil Rights Act. The fact that Dems in California are right now attempting to end the Civil Rights Act and has now made pedophilia less of a crime, should unequivocally show the truth of the DNC and proves my points.

  1565. The 2nd amendment isn't relevant? Then why do leaders keep trying to castrate it and want it removed? The first step to tyranny and dictatorship is the disarming of the people. It's "not relevant" to you because it still stands. If it falls you'll find out quickly how relevant it really is.

  1566. The investigations they're doing and questioning that's revealing all this is something. Will it result in any charges? Don't know. I do appreciate them grilling Durham about why he refused to pursue certain clear strands in his investigation or certain people. They're exposing how far everyone in the system will go to protect the institutions no matter how corrupt the people within them are. I don't call that nothing. It's now on permanent historical record the corruption within them so when people look back, even in just a few years, they'll understand what was really happening instead of just the fluff the news tells you. How many people know about the Church hearings? Yet it did result in reform. This will at some point as well.

Even if they paid him off last time, Bernie is still technically an independent and an outsider to the party. They don't want that. Just look at what Trump's done to the Republican party by winning. Establishment Democrats would rather minecraft themselves than see that happen to their party.

  1570. Biden is just finishing Obama's agenda. Everything Obama pulled back on or got blocked, Biden is implenting. Only electric cars manufactured after 2030 (even though our grid can't handle it and huge battery problems), he's withholding lunch funding if a school doesn't have a trans policy, etc. If anyone watched the videos out of Davos, this is intentional and the plan. They said it will cause inflationary pressures, shortages, and energy crises. Their solution is to just not talk about it. It's all a means to an end because the plebs weren't transitioning fast enough for the elites.

  1578. That depends on what that "help" is. There are Good Samaritan laws that protect would be helpers in an emergency situation like an accident. The "help" they're referring to is mental and parents should be notified if they're child is in mental distress. The concern would be abuse situations, but unless that's been proven they don't have the authority to remove a parents rights based on a suspicion. That's always been true and it's always required going through the proper legal process. They weren't crying about the legal process before but now it's a problem? I don't think so. It's just a talking point.

I think it's a good thing to confirm they are with their parents. 2500 children were trafficked across the border in 2 years under Obama according to the UN. If one of them are saved by this policy, I'm fine with it. Isn't that the leftists mind set? If lockdowns save just one person it's worth it? Or does that only count for citizens and not illegal children?

  1582.  @johnsprague4914  I've seen women convincing young women to not have children because it will " ruin" their body. These are the same people encouraging women to get botox in their 20s. I've also seen far too many comments from women saying pregnancy is extremely dangerous, when that's completely false. It's disturbing how far they'll go to keep people from having children.

That makes "white", as defined by the theory you're spouting, the world dominate race and blows you're whole theory away.

  1588. That's not necessarily true. The entire family will work and save to afford to send 1 member over because once they're in if there's ever amnesty, the entire family will be allowed in. Plus that one person will earn enough to support the rest of the family back in the home country.

  1593.  @desalanblades  The severe oppression occurred for only a brief period. Less than a lifetime. It started to become more acceptable in the 60s and LGBT were pushed to the forefront and celebrated by the 80s. Before that, while you might get talked about behind closed doors, speaking openly about sexuality at all wasn't acceptable in society in the first place. We've had several presidents that looking back definitely had homosexual tendencies, yet they still were President. You can find political articles from the time speculating on it, but the population still elected them. While you can find instances of oppression against an individual throughout history, it was only a brief period it was expanded to the whole.

If it worked other states will follow and eventually the federal government. He refused to discuss it. I asked him why because then it's not forcing everyone onto a system that might fail so it's safer that way and he never would answer that. Just danced around it. It's because he knows if it gets implemented nationwide it will destroy the country.

  1600. This is why they wanted the cameras inside the residence to be turned off. Smartly they refused. Now there's evidence of what they took and the safe being empty. So they can't claim to have found something in it. The rest of it would have been gone over by lawyers before he removed it. Add in that the National Archives are just as partisan as everything else within the government now (they refused to turn over female worker complaints against Biden even though they have them) and it all looks extremely bad. The people trying to say there had to be tons of evidence for them to get the warrant are the same ones cheering the feds prosecuting the officers in the Taylor case on the grounds they lied to get the warrant. They also have conveniently forgotten the FBI used information they admitted they knew was fake to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump's campaign and his administration. An investigation into that warrant showed that the federal courts were just rubber stamping every FBI warrant request, but it's totally legitimate this time. They pinky swear!

  1604. Unfortunately younger people are finding out the hard way why the US can NEVER elect a weak President. I'm not saying a warhawk should be either, but we always need a President that's willing to talk tough and project strength. I loved when the press would freak out everytime Trump would get in a pissing match with a foreign leader. He was behaving how a President should. Don't let them be able to know exactly how you'll respond to a threat. If they believe there's just the slightest possibility the President will retaliate, it keeps other nations in line diplomatically. Obama was only tough to third world weak countries. When he kept making speeches about crossing his redline and then they did and he did nothing, that showed his weakness. The only time he projected strength at China was in trolling their man made islands. Now we've got someone even weaker so wars are breaking out everywhere due to it creating the opportunity they needed. What's happening with Russia and China is on the hands of every Biden voter.

  1605. Pride parades are no longer attended by many gays or lesbians anymore. Most don't like all this stuff either. Now it's mostly "queer", which is kinks, and all the others. A LOT of BDSM is in it now and other fetishes. Lesbians and gays have been physically removed for making trans feel "unsafe" because they openly say they won't date them which makes them transphobic now. When that started they stopped going. So no, the idiot DNC paid shills should not assume they're gay because they most likely now are not. I still happily support the LGB, but screw the rest of the alphabet mafia. Edit: Also apparently this was a discussion at Porcfest. The members of the Libertarian party like the one they ran for governor of New Hampshire are arguing public nudity should be allowed everywhere regardless of what the community wants. How very libertarian of her.

  1606. The federal government is going to stop having states report deaths from the virus to it after February 2nd and states will start phasing it out then as well. It's over folks!! We won! I'd like to thank all the southern governors, even Louisiana which is run by a Democrat, for holding strong and pushing back against the federal government. I thank South Dakota who never followed them. I thank DeSantis, though not the first to start opening up he was the first to fully reopen and allowed himself to be the target of the press. I thank Wisconsin for being the first to bring suit against the lockdowns and get the courts to strike them down. I'd also like to thank the AGs that filed suit and fought all the way to the Supreme Court as well as the business associations that did the same. I thank all of them for holding true to American ideals and refusing to break their state constitution or the federal Constitution. I have little doubt that without them we'd be like Germany and possibly like Australia. A very special thank you to the workers that sacrificed their jobs. Without you, the business associations wouldn't have pushed back against the OSHA crap. They knew they'd go belly up if they lost all those workers who refused to bend the knee. It would likely have been a different decision if ya'll had caved.

China isn't going to stop trading either, no matter how much he centralizes everything, which there's no reason to believe he will since he's been leader for awhile now. You're talking like it's a new leadership that we know nothing about and he's acting differently than he has before. If you bothered to look back, he's always replaced anyone that didn't tow the party line.

  1619. Racial slurs are protected speech according to many Supreme Court rulings. “Public standards” are set by society. That doesn’t mean the government can imprison you for breaking them. Instead you suffer from societal repercussions, not government ones. Public universities fall under the government. Private ones do not. You can limit speech at private schools. You can’t at public ones. You can’t selectively enforce those rules however. If slurs break the rules for one group, they do for all groups. Otherwise it’s discriminatory which is illegal public or private. This was why Harvard and others were called before Congress. Those are private universities that have hate speech rules. They weren’t applying those rules to all groups. Edit: Honestly if words are too much for you, perhaps don’t go into public spaces. It’s not society’s job to protect you from people being mean or offending you. Offense is something the individual decides. I could find short hair on women offensive. That doesn’t mean I get to force society to bend to my will.

  1625. Lizzy Borden was underage and planned and murdered her parents. Lots of "children" have. How many 14+ gang bangers have killed very young children in drive by murders? Should they be exempt because of their age or should it depend on their actions? They committed a heinous crime against society. Yes 13 year olds are capable of planning and carrying out the crime of murder. As stated, some children are more mature than their counterparts. That's why it's done on a case by case basis. Teenagers are fully aware they'll only face juvie if they commit crimes and that record will be sealed once they're adults. Edmund Kemper killed his grandparents at 15 and went on to become a prolific serial killer. He only faced juvie. So just because a psychopath that's already committing murders is a child they should be unleashed back into society at the age of 18 because that's what happens under juvenile law? As for that girl, it's strange you're capable of understanding she's in full control of her decisions, but wants to let the murderer (a much more serious crime against society) free because they're a child? Murder is handled differently because it's a much more serious crime than statutory r@pe. Edit: 16 is also the age of consent in many states. If what she does is so well known in the area, maybe men should stop sticking their privates in her and control themselves. It takes two to tango. They're doing it of their own free will fully aware of the possible consequences. So is your argument fully grown adult males isn't capable of controlling themselves around a 16 year old girl?

  1629. They're not going to replace him. This is all just a show. The few in the House calling for him to step-down are most likely in swing areas trying to protect their seats and those below them in local and state elections. They're setting the stage to be able to say the only reason Trump won by such a large margin is because Joe refused to step aside. Reducing the significance of Trump's win to not being because people support him but because they just couldn't vote for such a clearly feeble president. Otherwise they risk alienating even more future potential voters because of how they've had Biden talk about anyone that votes for Trump. Edit: They know there's no path to win so they're throwing Biden under the bus. It's the only play they've got left. It also makes it easier to toss aside all the inflammatory rhetoric Biden's been spewing like threatening to nuke half the country.

  1630.  @thechloromancer3310  You don't seen to understand you can claim both were wrong. US actions and now Russian. You can't claim what Russia is doing is justified while claiming the US did the same thing and it wasn't or it was wrong. You're changing your principles based on who's doing it rather than having any real ones. That's not how many civilians unless Ukrainian armed forces and rebel armed forces are now magically "civilians". If that's the case so was ISIS and they should have been allowed to keep taking parts of other countries since some of the members lived there. Funnily enough Russia said that was wrong, but sending Russian troops into separatist parts of Ukraine and Moldova is fine to Putin. 3,000 civilians were killed by both sides in the eastern Ukraine civil war. Including passengers in a plane those poor innocent separatists shot down with Russian anti aircraft missiles that took out a plane near 30,000 feet up. That certainly sounds like something simple untrained civilians would have access to and know how to use. Edit: That doesn't justify Russia invading a sovereign country. Putin doesn't believe Ukraine is a sovereign country which means the separatists aren't either. You clearly didn't watch the video and just commented thinking you were smart.

  1631. These places are finding out the federal government puts the burden on the local taxpayers. They thought because their buddy was in charge he'd bail them out while continuing to ignore the border states being drained. It's been very weird watching us go from agreeing as a nation that illegal immigration was bad and put a burden on the systems to it being split politically for open borders in just a few years. There was no problem getting funding under Obama to build a border fence. Then it was an immediate u-turn by Democrats just a couple years later. I understand it's a political strategy playing the long game, but they're finding out it's not tolerated by the citizens. It's getting interesting.

It was a pretty insane platform where 2A was concerned.

  1644. The reason criminal cases can drag out for years is because people sign away their right to a speedy trail. Defense attorneys will tell you they need time to gather evidence and prepare your case and ask that you waive your right to a speedy trial to allow them time to do so. You're also allowing the state time to build it's case so choose wisely if you're presented with that.

  1645. Black men in particular have been turning away from the Democratic party for awhile now. They're men so they're blamed for everything too. That's the difference between this guy and the women who started that scam. What people don't understand is that the chapters are independent from the main organization. The one that the women run doesn't fund or have anything to do with the chapters. So he's not associated with them at all. I welcome him and all of them that are waking up to the realization that the Democratic party has never had their best interest at heart and only cared about the power they could use them to obtain. When the country as a whole does well, they do too so they can continue getting empty platitudes and policies only intended to keep them in line or they can choose the side that wants more freedom (including economic) so they can thrive along with everyone . Edit: Illegal immigration has been eye opening for them. The depression of wages it caused is one of the main reasons it used to be one of the things both sides agreed on. It's not rocket science to look at the side now supporting that and go Nope.

  1648. There was pushback on the bump stock ban. A lawsuit was almost immediately filed. I saw a lot of complaints online too. You're entire premise is incorrect. The ATF has always been able to arbitrarily change what is considered a firearm. That wasn't an issue created by Trump or the bump stock ban. It's been an issue pretty much since it's inception. You are a prime example of why these things need to be taught in school. They are who decided what barrel length is allowed to be considered a shotgun or if it's too long and illegal. They've changed it a couple of times causing those with longer barrels to suddenly have an illegal weapon, but they are allowed due to the Supreme Court decision that you can't prosecute someone who's in possession of something that was legal to own at the time of purchase. That's the grandfather clause. People that had previously purchased braces can't be prosecuted so the ATF warning them that they have to turn them in and people doing it is due to their own ignorance of the laws they live under. The reason my generation for the most part is familiar with the grandfather clause is because we were around when fully automatic weapons got banned. So we knew we couldn't be prosecuted if we already had one, but further purchases of new ones would be illegal.

  1649. Being a little person is already classified as a disability so I don't know why they felt the need to add that. So is the syndrome that makes someone never stop growing. Generally for little people you just have to provide a step stool and a chair that adjusts heights. Pretty simple. Anything beyond that is on them. Obesity doesn't fall under a disability because it's not a medical issue as in a disease that causes limitations. It's not a disease at all. Unlike Styx said, if the building floor isn't strong enough to support them, that's not on the employer. What it will do is require future building projects to add additional support to accommodate it.

  1650. To all the people in the comments spinning this as a genius move planned by Putin to it makes Putin look good, why would you think him appearing weak is a genius move by him or something he'd orchestrate? He's pardoned the group and turned to Belarus for help. That looks weak. Even according to Russian news they shot down 2 helicopters and killed people yet he pardons them rather than at least imprison them or the best move is killing them. You don't understand Russians if you think this is a win for him. Russians value strength in a leader. Period. Nothing else. Arresting them and putting them to death for treason is the strong move. It's a major power play. Pardoning them and calling in your buddy for backup is weak.

  1651. Hold it. Don't sell at a loss. You should have waited to buy in on the dip. Everyone knew a recession was coming and the stockmarket was being kept afloat with funny money. The recession should last 2-3 years then everything should start going back to normal. Bitcoin is a longterm investment, not a pump and dump so you should think of it in those terms. How much will my investment be worth in 5-10 years. You did learn a valuable lesson though. Never buy in when it's at the top. I understand the impulse. You see it going up and think it's going to continue, but that rarely happens. Ignore the people saying sell or it's a scam. It's gone from $ 67 to now worth over $ 20,000 in less than 10 years. There's no reason to think that trend won't continue. Especially since countries and businesses are starting to accept it now as currency.

  1653.  @DeloreanJack  What job market do you think their generation was entering into? You don't know when they graduated or what generation they are. I know the job market I was entering into. One where the Silent Generation couldn't afford to retire thanks to the Carter administration destroying the economy and a severe recession to keep it from collapsing. So the generation that should have been leaving the job market weren't, companies were moving out of the US, only a couple of colleges even offered IT programs and the computer age was really kicking into high gear as tech rapidly developed, etc. My generation had to create a new economy and job market. We invented startup companies and had to be far more entrepreneurial than any previous generation or one since (as a whole). We still are responsible for 50% of startups today. The generation before yours wasn't the Baby Boomers. Before pulling the "our jobs are being shipped overseas" card you really need to look into when the bulk of that occurred because it wasn't during Millenials and certainly not Gen Z. Edit: NAFTA had been newly signed and China opened to more freely trade with. So my generation is when the US stopped making things and our trade deals turned us into a consumer economy basically overnight. This will be the 4th once in a lifetime recession that directly impacts my generation.

A leftist that cancels someone because they dared have a tiny connection to someone else? Why are you endorsing Forbes articles? I could write an article and say allegedly you touched a child. You couldn't sue me either because I used allegedly and because I bet you have indeed touched a child. It just wasn't in the way it would be taken by the audience. Edit: Scholarships are done by organizations. Pretty much nobody investigates or cares who's sending money to that organization. So it wouldn't have had Soros on any of the paperwork to get it, but some high school student now has to dig into that information on the off chance one day they MIGHT run for office? We're freaking doomed because even Jesus wouldn't be good enough because he associated with Judas.

  1658.  @HeumundLothenbrugh  No because all those cases came with declarations and a great deal of warning. Terrorist attacks don't or they aren't a terrorist attack. There's a definition for it, even if you choose to ignore it. No what Israel has been doing doesn't fit the definition either. Again, they'll warn them to back off if they're too close to the wall. That area belonged to Israel until 2005 which is where all the infrastructure came form. That's why the electricity comes from it. The UN forced Israel to leave it, even though they'd controlled it for a few decades. The UN was attempting to create a buffer zone between Palestinians and Israel. Palestinians immediately moved into the area, funny nobody tried to make them not, and elected Hamas which is still who the region overwhelmingly supports. Palestinians have rejected a 2 state solution multiple times. They are who doesn't want it stop. At that point, you've forfeited any claim to victimhood. The very idea that any country that's created it's borders through war should have to give it up and cease to exist is the same idea that the US should be given back to my people and everyone else leave. If I don't support that and think it's stupid, I'm consistent in my thinking when it comes to this unlike a lot of people.

Honestly at the rate the Dems are going in destroying themselves by catering to the extreme the more likelyhood of a Reagan type win happening again. I don't think it will be Trump, obviously, but I can certainly see it in 2028.

  1660. You're correct about them filing bankruptcy, but they just lost their investors a hell of a lot of money. Their reputation is dirt now and it's not likely they'll recover. Hedge funds that have those kinds of losses don't usually get reinvested in. Those guys just redistributed a lot of wealth without using the government. Good on them.

  1661.  @NeonAnimeDreams  I don't have to "turn conservative" to vote for Republicans either. Anymore than I have to join the Democratic party to vote for a Democrat. What party I am or am not a member of has no bearing on my right to vote for who I wish. The Libertarian party is cringe as hell and doesn't believe in borders either. They have zero understanding of international affairs. I've seen their debates for the Presidential candidates and it's a laughing stock. Edit: Trump wanted to fire Fauci but was advised not to by the Republican party because firing him right near the election would have lost support because of how popular he'd become. There's a difference in funding something and trying to force me to take it. He briefly supported the lockdowns but when southern states started opening back up, he tried to get the rest to. The President doesn't control those actions though. You're blaming the President for actions taken by state and local governments. It been proven that it was the third bailout that pushed everything over the edge. I don't care if "big businesses" that were also forced to close got bailed out too. I'm not a lefty who believe success should be punished as apparently you believe too.

However, if you can pick one up that's been foreclosed you can always refinance when they come back down.

  1669.  @justifiably_stupid4998  There are already laws that protect private property from this. Even hate laws. It expands that or it wouldn't exist. Edit: So looked into it. Putting a flier on a telephone pole in a neighborhood isn't private property and that would fall under this. Add in the extremely vague language and it's a hate speech bill which the Supreme Court has ruled hate speech doesn't exist in US law. If it's challenged, and it absolutely should be, it won't make it past legal review. That means the entire bill is struck down, not just the one clause. So if the rest of the bill is important than this looks like an intentional sabotage of it.

  1679. Global trade, especially on a massive scale is a form of globalism. When you outsource your production, it makes you vulnerable to the whims of other powers. I'll define it for you. Globalism: The operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global scale. It says nothing about a one world government. It's dictating policy of other countries through economic trade. When the US says I'll trade with you, but you've got to improve working conditions, that's globalism. When Russia tells NATO, don't let this country in or I'll turn off the gas, that's globalism. Anytime you set policy conditions on economic trade, it's a form of globalism.

Being labeled a utility by the government would make them liable if they did that. It also would prevent them from collecting your private information and selling it. 230 recognizes them as platforms instead of publishers. That was intended to protect them from lawsuits if a user says something that legally would be slander. Unfortunately due to the vagueness of the language and court decisions, 230 has become twisted into a shield they hide behind.

  1691. Except Kyiv was only really surrounded very briefly. Putin was offered the Donbas to be independent at the very start and refused, demanding complete surrender. So if that was really all he ever wanted he ruined his economy, killed thousands of his soldiers, and wasted billions in military equipment for something he could have had at the start? Plus he's threatening to turn off the gas to Europe which is a move he always goes to as his fail safe plan when negotiations aren't going his way in something. Sorry, I know you think that's what was the plan, but the evidence, movement of troops, and firing of military leaders doesn't show that as true.

I think he would be better able to strip away some of the power from the cathedral, but unfortunately his wife has been diagnosed with cancer and she's the one who keeps him up to date on what's going on. She is especially informed on the cultural stuff going on. Without her being well enough to do that for him, I don't think he'd be as effective. Better to wait until she gets better. Plus he's leading the fight for the states so that would be a big blow there right now.

They have put up a website listing the names, if they can identify them, for Russian mothers to check for their sons.

Many of the troops they've encountered only had 3 days worth of food so they are hungry.

So it's unconstitutional to not allow them the same rights, privileges, and protections.

  1706. For those of you doubting parents will do anything or saying they haven't yet, aren't paying attention. Parents are taking over school boards, they are protesting, and 25 states already have either banned it or have legislation to do so. Many school board meetings have gone virtual because the school board is claiming they are afraid of the parents. It's so they can mute them and violate their first amendment rights. Parents of all races and backgrounds are banding together to fight against it. All of this is being organized by a couple of groups. That's why the teachers union has had to come out publicly about it, that's why the MSM is highlighting teachers trying to keep it in the schools as sympathetic.

  1709. The majority of the audience at drag shows is women. I wasn't aware people didn't know it was a caricature of women. That's just weird to me. Maybe because I've been in those circles since high school. My son does it and he looks at it as cosplay with a performance. He also won't do anything with children involved because it's for adults and he thinks that's sick. What's weird is how many ask if he's trans. He tells them no because it wouldn't be drag if he was. I think too many people conflate drag queens with trans. They aren't the same thing. If someone is trans, they can't be in drag because they identify as a woman. So then they are "women" pretending to be men, pretending to be women. We're getting into Tropics of Thunder territory here. Edit: I think it's because Rupaul allowed trans women on Drag Race. He didn't want to, but got pressured into it and called a bigot for not allowing it. A man taking hormones and having surgeries is an unfair advantage. Not to mention if they are "women" they can't be in drag. At this point he should allow women to compete on it since transwomen are women. Let's invade their spaces for a change.

Federally railroads are regulated, but they are not under the control of the federal government unless it's one of the very few that fall under ownership by the government. Most are privately owned, as was this one. Rail workers from one of the big companies were about to go on strike. The federal government intervened because it would cause widespread economic problems, not because they have any type of power over the workers.

  1713.  @BungieStudios  There would have been another election, with the same candidates if no one reaches the number of delegates to win the Presidential election. If no one reaches the needed threshold, yes elections continue until someone does. Did nobody take civics and learn how democracies in all its various forms works? Edit: The Dem never won either. He just got more votes. The majority threshold was not met by anyone until the 15th vote.

  1716. I'm really tired of people getting this wrong. It didn't "go missing". According to them, they over valued items they sent to Ukraine and they were short 6.2 billion in the promised aid. Meaning they're sending another 6.2 billion worth of equipment. They didn't over spend, they under spent. Nothing went missing. There was no cash involved. Edit: Listening to the release I don't understand where people are getting that they sent more than they were supposed to. They clearly say they valued them "as new" when the real value was used. Who values a used car more than the new one?

It's not being helped by Biden pushing the same policies that caused the one in 2008, loaning to people you know won't pay them back. It will pop and when it does, you'll be able to scoop up a nice home for cheap as the market will be flooded with bank repossessions like last time. It also depends on where you live. A 2 story, refurbished 1920s home on 3/4 an acre just sold here for $ 200,000 and that's with a huge increase in land prices due to pot farms.

Relying on Belarus also looks weak. This isn't the win people seem to believe it is for Putin. He'll need to take a very aggressive stance soon on something or in some way to prove he's not become weak.

  1731. Democrats only win because they control the overwhelming majority of black votes. Yes if they lose even a couple percentage points of that vote, it'll result in a huge shift.

Once they can convince you that you have that right, it's easy to convince you you have the right to everyone else's labor.

  1737. Most states require ID to vote, even Democrat controlled ones. Only 2 or 3 have universal mail in ballots, most states you must request one usually as an absentee ballot because there's a reason you physical can't go vote. I personally, don't early vote before a week out because measures on the ballot can be removed until then. I've had that happen before where there were 2 measures for medical marijuana on it and one got removed 1 week out. So anyone that voted for that one, but not the other one wasted their vote. It still passed, but barely. Edit: Voting laws are done by each state, rather than controlled federally. It's because you vote on a lot more state and local issues than federal government stuff and votes for those are held more often. Judging by the federal election laws the current Congress wants to institute, I'm glad they're handled by state. It's a big part of our decentralized system.

  1746. The only thing this makes 100% clear is the House and Senate have to be taken in this election. Then impeachment of some of these appointees can be done. This is insanity and not how a democracy works. To maintain the peace it's always been an unwritten rule that you not go after political opponents once they've been voted out of office. To keep from there even being the appearance that it's politically motivated. They've broken that rule and this only leads to a terrible outcome.

  1747. It only becomes a publisher when it removes content that’s not illegal because that’s curating. It can pay you for the ad revenue you generate for it. A publisher pays for specific content and decides what it will and will not publish and pay for. 230 says nothing about paying. Only about what a platform is and the legal protection they are given because they don’t pick and choose their content.

  1754.  @sidpomy  You don't get to force your beliefs onto others. Period. One extreme or the other is still an extreme and neither is supported by the vast majority of the population. That's how decisions are made in a democracy or republic. Don't like it then feel free to live somewhere where the laws better follow your personal beliefs. There are plenty of countries it's completely banned in. Edit: I would never have one, but it's not my place to decide for anyone else. They have a choice and will face the consequences for making it. Even God is against force and says every person is responsible for the consequences of their choices. Denying other people their free will doesn't make you the good guy.

He sounds like when a woman imagines what her husband will be like once they get married and is mad when he doesn't live up to her fantasy. Considering Trump had never held a political position before, I think he did a great job under the circumstances he faced. He made mistakes and trusted the wrong the people, but overall he improved the lives of the majority of Americans so that's a win in my book.

  1757. Republicans have little choice but to appoint RFK and Tulsi because they were instrumental in his win and the subsequent down ballot wins. McMahon is an intentional joke appointment because that department won't exist very long. Then he'll pull in an advisor like it had before it was created as a separate department. Gaetz has left Congress. Trump wouldn't have let him do that if he didn't 100% intend him to be in the cabinet. No way Gaetz would just give up his career to be just a pawn in a game.

They don't really want women to have a choice. They are what they project onto that time period. They also only know feminist propaganda because women did have choices then too. Just like now, the extremes were used to paint everything instead of what life was really like.

I wonder why a group that sells gold would attempt to scare people into purchasing precious metals? They don't retain their value either. Who is going to trade you a product or service for a fleek of gold they can't do anything with? If the government can't cover your FDIC insurance, they won't be able to purchase your gold. We'd revert back to a barter system rather quickly. Edit: You're also not buying physical gold. You're purchasing stocks in gold. Nobody is sending you gold bars in the mail.

  1762. He most likely got elected on name recognition. He's not even from the area so to me it smells like when Hillary ran in New York, but it's not even my state. If I was a suspicious person, I'd say Trump is endorsing people that he knows will support anything he puts in front of them. So when/if he wins again in 2024, he won't face the obstacles he did in 2016.

  1763. Since many Churches have gone woke, it's not surprising. He's not struggling with independents. Evangelicals aren't independents anyway so I'm unclear why you're adding them into it. Independents aren't voting for Biden. They tend to be better informed than the partisan voter and would be the ones mostly impacted by Biden's horrible economic policies. At most, some simply won't vote. Trump is pulling higher support in the Latino community and black male voters. It was white men that switched last time and I don't see most of them voting Democrat in today's current climate of constant attacks against them. Democrats have shot themselves in the foot with that brilliant move. The most important issue to voters is the economy and inflation both of which Biden has failed on.

  1766. As long as our policies keep doing a 180 everytime a new party comes into power, this is how it's going to be. Other countries won't be able to depend on us to keep our word or stick to plans already made. That's at the heart of what's going on. Companies won't invest because their business might be driven out by the next administration. That's why promises made by the previous administration was always upheld by the next. Biden destroyed that on day one with his record breaking EOs signed. Edit: Now I'll continue feeling ill because my Ukrainian "son" (best friend of my son who practically lived with us) is leaving for Ukraine tomorrow because he's an EMT and he feels they need him.

  1767.  @seinfan9  According to those close to him in his administration, no he didn't. None of them knew the swamp was that deep. I can't think of his name right now, but he was in military intelligence before he joined Trump's team and he's been on Tim Pool a couple of times. He's the one that uncovered the spying and massive unmasking done by Obama during the campaign. They thought it was mostly at the top, but found out it's everywhere. They were hampered by the investigations into Trump which is why you saw these huge moves in the last year of his Presidency. They had to figure out how to get rid of all these lower level employees when it's very hard to do that due to Union contracts and regulations. The Supreme Court decision that federal employees don't have to join the Union helped. This is why I don't believe Unions should be allowed for government employees. It gives the Union power over the government and the people.

Perhaps look at his platform which is publicly available? The GOP is part of the uniparty. They don't want anything dismantled. They are very comfortable with their kickbacks and lobbyists. They give massive funding against other GOP candidates that want what you claim they need to support. I doesn't sound like you fully grasp the situation. You claiming Trump doesn't have a positive vision means you don't know what that means.

If you legalize all drugs, as it used to be, you take away their income. It's no different than alcohol prohibition creating Al Capones. Once it was ended so were the bootleggers and their gangs. If the cartels could "take over" they already would have. Mexico has strict gun control, we are a well armed society.

You're confusing the MGTOW and red pill guys with traditionalists. There's a reason those guys can't find a woman to date them, even at church. A traditional man will honor and submit to his wife just as she honors and submits to him. There's nothing wrong with a man wanting a spouse that will take care of him anymore than it's wrong for a woman to want the same thing. It doesn't require being overly religious either. It's fine to say you aren't one. That doesn't require trashing people that are to prove how cool you are.

  1781. 70% of independents in polling are fully aware of what's going on. It's funny when people attack independents when it's been proven they pay better attention than partisan voters and research issues more. It's not us that's the problem. It's the people that vote only based on party. Independents have swung right and Trump holds a commanding lead among us right now. We're his to lose which he certainly can if he doesn't focus on issues and keeps being butthurt. Edit: He's got somethings to answer for like creating the agency that silenced everyone online.

  1782. That's been true forever. Especially for one side. Ollie North was convicted, several associates of Trump were convicted on what turned out to be false information (except 1 which was for things he did years prior). Meanwhile Hillary breaks the law, the Biden family numerous crimes, FBI agents create a fake document and get political warrants based on it, the IRS targets groups based on political affiliation, AOC commits fraud, etc and nothing. Only very low level people within the DNC ever get prosecuted. Even though they lie to Congress (Fauci and several others) which is something North was convicted on. Honestly the current DNC makes Watergate look tame and lots were convicted for that. Edit: Not claiming the GOP isn't corrupt. It's just they tend to be held to account when theirs gets uncovered. At the very least, their political career is over. That's not true in the DNC where the more corrupt you are, the higher you climb politically. I believe this is due to the primary system in the DNC because the people's choice can be overridden by special interest who control super delegates. The Democratic Party has the least democratic system.

  1787. I will say that most other companies resist their involvement. Most others require them to get warrants before they are allowed access to any information. Their businesses rely on security for their customers and they're not going to destroy that for a couple million. Those are companies that supply other companies so they're entire business would be destroyed. Apple made police and the FBI take them to court because they refused to give them away to bypass phone security features. It's come out that if these agencies pressure them, they'll leak it in a heartbeat which forces them to go about it above board. Social media platforms are infested by people that want to control the conversation. The only thing that slightly held them back was fear of being called out and losing customers over it. Once they were able to get rid of a sitting President to pretty much no consequences, they all became emboldened. I'm anxiously waiting on the coof files to see the completion of their descent. Even in these files you can see their reluctance. It's clear that these were not strong, principled individuals either. The fact they're all young and still want to be seen as being "good" was easily manipulated.

  1788.  @exzisd  I'll be surprised if Biden is allowed to do anything like that. If he does anything it will be a tiny number of people and more intimate so they can control it.

Edit: They need someone that can handle a lot of travel and give inspiring speeches. That's not Biden.

  1790. So like the current left, you want only the purest to agree with you and anyone that doesn't agree 100% should be excised from the group. Lovely. It's called a big tent for a reason. Used to each party contained people from all political sides except the extremes. The Democrats had conservatives who agreed with them on certain issues, but not all, all the way to the far leftists. Republicans had left leaning all the way to the extreme right. It's so compromises could occur so that the decisions and issues were decided for the best of the country as a whole rather than it only benefiting a tiny minority while hurting everyone else. The left pushed out everyone not in 100% agreement so that we're seeing the decisions benefiting a tiny number while hurting everyone else and that's what you're advocating for the right to do now too. How about no.

  1791.  @fredbloggs5902  There is no current federal law. There are many states with laws saying this dating as far back as 1978.

  1793. Not true. The guy with the funny mustache didn't do what he did to ethnic minorities because they had been using government power against the people.

  1796. I'm definitely thinking there will be a backlash similar to Carter. The country went massively Republican for years after him. Even when Clinton finally took the White House, the majority of the states were still Republican which is why he had to negotiate so much with them. It was that bipartisanship that allowed them to get back to the point they are now.

  1801. This is a free society where even despair has it's place. From pain and despair some of the best art and literature are created. Denying future generations the knowledge of that pain and despair removes the artist's message and removes the understanding of what made that work important, even if it was only important to the artist at the time. Society needs to see it's past so it can see what the eventual outcome of a decision is. Only then can it be decided if that decision was a mistake in the grand scheme of things or a necessity to move forward. If it was a mistake, then they know not to respond like that. If it was a necessity, they know how better to continue forward.

You're a prime example of why people don't like Christians.

Only electric cars by 2030, gender neutral bathrooms, stifling the oil industry, etc are all Obama era policies that got nixed by being unpopular or by the courts. The only difference between the two is the border because Obama deported more than Trump did, but we had more crossings under Obama too.

Just making sure you think it's perfectly fine for a government agency to attempt to remove a duly elected president for purely political reasons so when the other side does it, and there's no reason now not to, you won't claim they should be prosecuted. You'll celebrate it just as you are now right? It takes an extremely lowly grade and ignorant human to celebrate the destruction of a system just to stick it to the political opposition. It's a level of extremism and polarization that's truly despicable. Edit: You also understand this proves the claims of Russian interference and that they rigged the election is now proven false. Which means Democrats were spewing misinformation about rigged elections long before Trump and now they lost all ammunition on that front against him right?

  1819. He can't. The federal government controls the US borders and is over immigration. I don't know why that's so hard for people to understand. He's tried several times to block the border and the courts said no because it's the jurisdiction of the federal government. States don't have the power to deport people. Unless you want massive lawsuits that will bankrupt Texas, this is the best he can do. Edit: Even if he did, he can't stop them from just immediately coming back. This is the best way to put pressure on the federal government to do its job. Have members of their own party pressuring them because they don't care about states that aren't blue.

That takes money from their economy and puts into ours. Edit: Large border crossings at the Canadian border will be backed up for miles on the weekends of people entering the US to go shopping or stay the weekend. I lived on the Canadian side for over a year. It's not a southern border thing only or bad.

Yes just ignore the men killing recruiters, the hundreds of thousands at least that fled after the draft was instated, that Russia has lost a lot of ground they gained in Ukraine, etc. They wanted more money. That was the chief complaint. They are indeed mercenaries. They are paid by the government outside the normal military pay scale. That makes them, by definition mercenaries. Loyalty has nothing to do with if you're a mercenary or not. Lots of "contractors" for the US military are very loyal to the US. They're still mercenaries. The Russian military isn't currently anywhere near Moscow so no, they would not have been able to "easily put down a coup" because it would take days to get there.

People don't have labs in their homes to take that portion. Who's going to decide if they actually learned anything or just skimmed over it? I can see it now, inteenet educated biomedical engineer gets hired and destroys billion dollar lab.

  1828.  @wigletron2846  I agree and more are starting to question if all this is intentional. It's extremely unlikely that every military commander is this incompetent.

  1829. Nobody coerced those people to r@pe children. The information is probably being used as leverage to blackmail favors, but nobody tricked them into committing the crimes they committed. It wasn't a secret what Epstein did since he'd already been convicted once. Edit: Coercion means they were tricked by police or the government to commit the crimes they're being accused of and is a solid defense to claim entrapment on. That you are insinuating his clients are innocent is disgusting.

  1830. I didn't downvote, but disagree. 1) I'm not an anarchist and believe it should be a state decision. 2) Sterilization is also a risk of having an abortion. 3) Most of your arguments are if it was outlawed completely, which it isn't. 4) Most of your arguments are also justification for killing any child at any age. 5) Men are forced to care for a child they didn't want everyday. Equality under the law is a thing. 6) There are too many free or cheap things available to prevent pregnancy in the first place. Meaning personal responsibility is a much bigger factor now than ever before. 7) Abortions aren't free now. There will be, and probably already are, organizations that will help pay for travel expenses just like they currently do for the procedure. 8) The US has some of the most lax abortion laws in the world already. Someone can already fly to another state to have a third term one. So availability or it's too early aren't really valid arguments especially when you acknowledge it won't stop them from happening. 9) It's not about stopping them completely. It's about not wanting it in your state. You had far too many contradictions in your arguments.

  1831. ​ @waynekensicki4718  Look at every stance he held before running. He's only ever been against vaccines. Hell, just read his book and see how much he despises anyone on the right.

  1832. Most likely. Similar to the problem that will happen if they pursue the classified documents thing. Every future President will just revoke the previous President's power to them and prosecute them. Then we'll be like every "democracy" we've chastised in the past for using the office to go after political opponents.

  1833.  @kenbrowning5793  They aren't in charge of most states. The people that live in the states that were a problem need to work to change the laws. That's how this works.

  1834.  @Opeandaway  Then you primary them out. Jesus don't y'all know anything about how this works? You vote for who is running against the GOP members you don't like so the one you don't like isn't even on the ballot. You basically fire them. Then you vote for the new guy. They don't do what you want, rinse and repeat. You have to organize and work for what you want instead of waiting on someone else to do it. Our ancestors fought the most powerful military in the world and y'all don't even want to get off your ass. You deserve what you get.

  1835. Because the Teacher's Union sent them a letter telling them to and labeling concerned parents as domestic terrorists. Anyone right now that says anything against any government institution is labeled as an anti government domestic terrorist. The school boards as an elected body fall under that banner. This was a topic last year so I don't know why people weren't aware of it. Wray held a news conference where he labeled the people going to school board meetings terrorist and got massive backlash. Edit: Parents had FBI investigating them, the school boards were sending parents information to the FBI that dared just speak during a meeting, friends and family were interviewed, etc. It was a big story.

  1836. Not true on the head. I have 2 out of 6 (don't ask) that do NOT like their head touched. Not even a little.

  1837. Honestly humans being directly involved in war is going to be a thing of the past soon. Meaning it's a waste of resources to even bother trying to develop them. It's much more lucrative as a commercial thing than military. They would be extremely situational. It's better left to the private sector and then the military can use it.

  1838. ​​ @KaoticReach1999  Bitcoin is also finite. Other ones aren't and that's what makes Bitcoin unique. The amount of Bitcoin available will never increase.

  1840. Affirmative action was supposed to be reparations following the Civil Rights movement. All the benefits the government gives was supposed to fall under that. Unfortunately that happened too long ago and today all history is bad including MLK. I've been in livestreams talking to black people screaming about them. I've seen some of the demands and it's things they already get just weren't aware of it. For example they wanted lower interest rates on small business loans because that would make it easier to enter it. They already get that. They don't know because they're demanding stuff they've never attempted and have just been told those things will "fix" their problems. Edit: Just like many like to cite the bank study that shows white owned banks loan to black people at a lower rate. They don't know the actual study and just that part. The study also showed black owned banks loaned to black people at an even lower rate.

  1841. They aren't. Only a portion is. There are several in the US military so by that reasoning, all of the US military are like that. Russia has them in theirs too so obviously all the Russian military is too. Actually Russia has a battalion of them too and a much higher concentration of them. Half the world's population of them live in Russia. So do you really want to keep on with painting everyone with the same brush? Edit: Russia just charged and convicted 3 last year that were responsible for a mass shooting that killed over 27 people in 2008. That's because the government only made those attacks illegal 2 years ago. Even then, only 5 groups are outlawed the rest are registered with the government and enjoy a lot of influence.

  1842.  @HotBoxnChevys  If you listen to interviews with him, his main focus is ESG and it's destruction. Like it or not, he's correct that people lack purpose and our national identity has been destroyed. Unfortunately if you just even mention nationalism you're automatically a funny mustache man follower because he was all about nationalism. It's hilarious to me how we're more concerned almost 100 years later with saying anything he said than we were during or right after the war.

  1843. He did admit to committing crimes on air and handing out equipment so others could too. I don't think it required the large response though. Pretty sure a single officer would have been fine.

  1844. I don't agree. You've got the midterms with half the seats coming up. Dems that were elected before this election are facing areas that went red that weren't before. If they want to keep their seat, they'd be stupid to block Trump too much. Especially to the point of making him ineffectual. When it comes election time with no presidential ticket, they're going to go every man for himself.

  1845.  @libertariansasquatch  Taking the Senate was a longshot 2 weeks ago. Now here you are claiming because 3-4 seats weren't taken it was a loss. This is the problem with hyping up possibilities close to the election. It changes thing just enough so that the original projected win feels like a loss. The Senate wasn't even supposed to be in play so how is not taking it this horrible defeat? The seats that were up were in normally strong blue areas. Supposedly fairly safe areas for Democrats. The fact they were all so close is the win.

  1846. I can't believe they are still trying to make that a thing. I saw a couple of people on FB in a comment section trying to use it and it's hilarious. I guess they forgot he botched the Afghanistan withdrawal and we still have US citizens stuck there, Saudi Arabia ghosted him, and he can barely talk.

  1847. I've seen right leaning people trying to excuse this as not that big a deal and not being accurate in how it's being framed. Saying Biden was looking for someone specific because they were to speak next and ither excuses. Even if that's true, it doesn't make any difference because he's the President and should have been the focus of every person in that room.
