I thought I was being cheeking in calling out how ActBlue, a Democratic PAC, is going to be bailing out these protestors.

 

 

 

 

 

You do know that link was not for the antisemitic protestors right?  No way you would be dishonest, right?

Here's a link if you'd like to donate to the protestors bail fund.

 

ActBlue: Donate to Bail Funds for Protestors

That is to support protestors in support of George Floyd .

They are?  Meanwhile, Democrats have condemned these actions and fought to pass an aid package to Israel.  Meanwhile, Neo-Nazis are Republicans.

Some folks have to find issues in things that aren’t issues so they don’t have to admit they have issues…

Imagine thinking this is comparable to the 1960’s Civil Rights protests. 

This would be much more comparable to anti-war protestors in the Vietnam era randomly shouting hate speech at white people and black people because they didn't support US troops....

It's disgusting and nuts!

Just a guess: it’s a risky trip, and they want to raise money for their families and maybe get them here if they aren’t already.

Exactly!  What kids don’t like playing in sand boxes and making Nikes?!?

Seriously, in what world is a life of poverty in the USA not a million times better than even the average lifestyle of folks in China and Afghanistan?  I’d rather take my chances of being shot in a bad US neighborhood than getting randomly bombed in the Middle East…

Would you consider the Minutemen more Antifa or J6?

Definitely J6.  The minutemen were traitors to the crown.  Much like J6ers are traitors to the USA.

Well....then voters need to make a statement on this in November.

 

 

I would hope that a Trump defeat in November would allow these idiots to take of the chains.  But sadly I think Trump will be so bitter that he will hold his base as hostages and basically govern the GOP by telling his followers who to vote for...

What, specifically, did they say?

You ever seen the “Office” episode when Holly confuses Kevin for special needs?

The speaker was probably buying @teachercd candy bars and other treats to tell him he was doing great and admin realized he was using it as an excuse to get hugs from the lady…

It makes more sense when you realize DEI is the new racist dogwhistle.

No kidding!  I already forgot what the old one was called that was making teachers make white kids hate themselves.  We don’t hear much about it anymore.  Biden must have stopped it!

This might be doable, with some sort of software 

I think it would be easy.  One of our Social Studies teachers does something like this when he is talking about primary, secondary sources, etc.  He gives the kids 4 news headlines, one of them is fake.  The kids have to decide which one is the imposter.

When signing up or renewing the social media account: If you get it wrong, that email you are trying to sign up with is rejected.

I’m probably in a minority, and this probably is unconstitutional:  But I would wholeheartedly support a shutdown of accounts that intentionally promote verifiably false information to sew doubt among internet users.

Thanks for the "laugh" but I'm 100% serious.  Social media is making America (and the free world) dumber.  Just think of the "NFL is fake",  "flat earther"s, and the "birds aren't real" people. Not to mention the poison that is Q-Anon.  Just the other day I saw people freaking out because another cargo barge took out another bridge in Turkey.  People were panicking that terrorists, a.k.a "government operatives",  were responsible and were ready to take up arms against the deep state and its "new world order".  No one actually looked at the video and realized it wasn't a bridge but a crane at a port and probably won't have a huge effect. 

 It all most likely starts with some dumbass trying to make fun of people and it catches on like a wildfire.

Maybe a simple quiz to recognize spam or fake accounts should be required before setting up accounts or renewing them once a year.  I'm just tired of the liars taking advantage of the stupid.

Agree.  Opinions are good.  Do you care to explain why you think he’s a bad choice?   Or who would be a better choice.   Other than the age thing, which is dumb, I’ve not seen logical people give very good answers to this question.  

This isn’t in response to @DevoHusker but just wanted to point out that some folks are going to “virtue signal” with a write in vote (hopefully I used that term correctly.

As it stands today, The next POTUS will either be Biden, Trump, or RFKJ.

OK:  Let me get this straight:

1.  We have an 80 year old guy running for president who is known for verbal gaffs but is generally compassionate and thoughtful & understands the scope of his job.  

2.  We have an 77 year old guy running for president who is know for verbal gaffs, dementia like thinking, has a messiah complex, has 91 felony indictments against his name, is a convicted rapist and fraudster, cult leader and is generally a self-center narcistic nut job. 

3.  We have another guy running for president who is a verifiable Q'anan nut job, his extended family won't support him and his only qualification is the family name which isn't a qualification at all except in a personality centered society. 

 

All this begs the Question:

Why oh why can't this great country full of highly qualified people not provide a better slate of candidates? 

Beg # 2 Question:

Biden should be, even with his aging issues and some of his policy weaknesses, should be blowing this field apart in the polls.   Why isn't he?

 

Hopefully come Sept - we will see polls showing Biden building an insurmountable lead.  We will know it is happening when we see/hear candidate # 2 posting hundreds of 'the election is rigged' posts to Truth Social. 

 

Well, the answer to question 2 is answered by the fact that you give American voters way too much credit in question 1.  Americans are extremely dumb, and most of the dumb ones are proud of it.

Reasonable Pro-life.   

If there a tension point where you can flip the coin - I will always choose pro-life.  I'd rather 'error' on the side of life of the baby in the womb. 

I think most agree with you.  And most agree the best way to go about that is to leave those "coin flip" situation to the people involved: the family and the doctor.

It's okay to say "pro-choice".  It would make this all so much easier to handle if we stopped electing "pro-life" candidates that won't allow any grey area of "choice".

I think I’d rather be a prostitute though, if I’m giving up my morality.  Sex sounds more fun.

I agree with these:

Exceptions to state abortion bans generally fall into four general categories: to prevent the death of the pregnant person, when there is risk to the health of the pregnant person, when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, and when there is a lethal fetal anomaly.    

https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/press-release/what-are-the-exceptions-to-state-abortion-bans/

 

I will add:  I have know of situations where the mother did not abort the child that was a result of rape or incest.  That should be her choice - good can come out of evil.  Some people chose that possibility.  The same could be true of fetal anomalies - we have known of individuals born with great handicaps/anomalies that have gone on to live productive and in many cases inspirational lives.  Again - no one should be forced to 'chose' one way or the other.  

 

From a practical perspective - in a pluralistic society, there will never be 100% agreement on this.  So, I think we have to look at this from a compromised position.  No side gets all that it wants.  The alternative is that we become authoritarian which is the opposite of who we are as a nation.   1.  We can either be like China where the govt dictates the one child per family policy - forced abortions or like 2. Honduras  where abortions are banned in their totality by the govt since 1985.  

 

The gray area for me is time limits.   We've seen the draconian state laws that don't allow any abortions at all or limit them to 6 weeks. 

Time limits:  I'm still torn on time limits - 6 weeks is to restrictive especially if they preclude any of the above and because - in most cases one does not know of a pregnancy until 6 weeks at the earliest.    12 weeks seems reasonable for me. 

So pro-choice.
