Polls: Society & Politics

I'm somewhat judgmental. I feel like some things in society should NOT be normalized or dismissed. (Looking at that Florida Parental Rights in Education bill and how many sickos want to teach children sex and LGBT stuff.)

It has become something of an open secret that the only real goal of the GOP is to help the rich get access to our tax money. But of course this should be a losing message to run on, politically (although who knows anymore, right) so of course we should expect the GOP to talk about anything else. The problem the GOP has had to figure out for the last four decades is what to talk about. Obviously the can't promise to fix anything tangible because that would cost tax money, and their whole thing is to give that money to rich people without anyone noticing.

So we have the bill in Florida restricting the mentioning of the existence of gay couples to grade schoolers. Now, quick aside on the bill, it accomplishes two things: 1) it makes teaching just a little bit more miserable: in the GOP's quest to hand out tax money to rich people one of those groups of rich people is private school owners. They've been trying to privatize the school system for decades but have ran up against a wall with overwhelming community support for local public schools. The school board invasions over masks and CRT and now this bill are ways to turn the local communities against local schools. And 2) it seems built from the ground up not to be useful but to motivate the right with satisfied anger over wielding the power of cancel culture they have been told they are somehow the victim of, because a few scammers they subscribed to were redirected to spam on social media.

So, we have a GOP who needs to get elected so rich people can have access to our tax money, but no one want to vote for them for that (at least not yet) and some of the opposing political party are finally starting to figure out it might be a winning message to just accurately describe what the GOP is up to. What does the GOP do if it becomes mainstream to know they are serving the rich only? (Continued...)

Just read an article that our labor shortage could be linked to a lack of immigration.

And are you going to protect their A$$ if something goes wrong and they make a tough but bad call?

Police chased but could not pull over the car due to policy...they won't pull them over unless the car theft was violent in nature.

Putin backing Ruble with Gold. China will soon back Yuan with gold. India will back Rupee with gold, and Saudi Arabia will back their dollar with Gold. Who will need US dollar anymore? I don't want it. I prefer a dollar backed with Gold. When the world goes to a Gold backed Yuan , US loses Reserve Currency luxury. That means US can't print money to kick road down the road.

US will no longer have reserve currency or the strongest economy or strongest military. Standard of living will be very low.

A recent survey of 200 Ukrainians showed that about 50% of the country was happy with their flag, whereas the other 50% were not. Interestingly the men felt it was good enough, whereas the women wanted to adorn it with sparkly stuff or a cute kitten.

Do you think it does?

Voting won't get it done because we know liberals can cheat and get by with it.
Glenn Beck is correct with what he believes but he would rather back down than have a civil war. That won't get anything done. Sometimes you must fight for what is right. Would we still have slavery if US didn't have a civil war in 1800's? Would we still be controlled by England if we didn't have the Revolutionary war?

I was surprised they actually gave him 10 years. Lets face it , he is black and I just didn't think they would lay the law down. Did you know he was arrested for assault before?

I think he deserved this and more. He should have been banned for life, arrested and charged, and sued in Civil court by Chris Rock, the guy he assaulted and battered. What do you think?
