In Tennessee, our state's law is very open and lenient on citizen's arrest. If I witness any crime, whether misdemeanor or felony, I can take the suspect into custody as a private citizen. If I reasonably believe a felony has been committed, but did not witness it, I can make an arrest too. Any civilian can.

My hometown is starting to look more shady and ghettoish. It is only a matter of time until I witness something. I thought about arresting those who dangerously tailgate me for reckless driving. Some woman tailgated me almost to my bumper today.

I just wanted to cut to the heart of this 'childless cat lady' meme and ask what its really saying.

So lets say there's a woman, she's possibly single but she's not married and may or may not have cats or pets of any sort. She has no kids. She might even proclaim she doesn't even want any children and also could get married but simply chooses not to.

Upon hearing this do YOU the listener or reader assume there is just something wrong with them?

I'm going to do something rare for this question only and allow anonymous answers. please keep things civil if you can manage, if you harass or call people names i will delete your answer or comment full stop. you are warned.

In her first answer, Harris tried to set out both her own story as a child of the middle class and how she intended to build an opportunity economy for others, lowering food and housing costs and opening the way for more small businesses. It was a lot, quickly, and she looked a little nervous.

Then Trump spoke and it was clear he was going off the rails. His first comment was to suggest Harris was lying, and then to insist that his proposed tariffs will solve everything, although he has the way tariffs work entirely backward: they are paid by the consumer, not by foreign countries. As he followed with a long list of his rally lies, Harris started to smile.

From then on, he continued to produce rally stories full of wild exaggerations and attack Harris with lies in what CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale called “a staggeringly dishonest debate performance from former president Trump.” "No major presidential candidate before Donald Trump has ever lied with this kind of frequency,” Dale said. “A remarkably large chunk of what he said tonight was just not true. This wasn't little exaggerations, political spin. A lot of his false claims were untethered to reality." As Harris spoke directly to the American people, growing stronger and stronger, Trump got wilder and angrier and told more and more crazy stories.

And then, about ten minutes into the debate, Harris baited him. She invited the American people to go to one of his rallies, where “he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter, he will talk about ‘windmills cause cancer.’ And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.”

Trump lost it. He defended his rallies, said Harris couldn’t get anyone to attend hers and has to bus in attendees (in reality, her rallies are packed and he is the one who reportedly hires attendees), and then, in his fury, repeated the lie about immigrants eating pets.

Regulations protect us from unsafe products, dangerous workplaces, harmful foods, unsafe drugs, fraud, monopolization, unfair labor practices, and environmental hazards.

When Trump (and Musk) equate regulations with waste or inefficiency, what they’re really saying is that big corporations ought to be able to wreak as much harm on the public as they want, if doing so enlarges their profits.

I have been prepping for a possible Kamalatoe/Tampon Tim administration. I purchased a bunch of medical supplies. In addition, I have been stocking up on water and nonperishable food items. I have been preparing for civil unrest.

I have IV supplies and wound care supplies. I purchased (2) 500ml bags of normal saline, (3) 18G IV catheters, (3) 20G IV catheters, (2) macro drop sets, (2) int/extension sets, and among other supplies.

Kamala Harris supports fracking and closing the border. Do you the support this as well?

Cities are arguably worthless in national elections.
