Polls: Society & Politics

"We don't have money". I first heard that when I was 9 years old. I couldn't have candy or pepsi cola or juice or something to eat at school.

This grew into a bigger problem over time. I had less clothes to wear by the age of 12. I walked with holes in shoes and one time the shoes were even openly exposing my feet and I walked like that to school in Germany. Got bullied and mobbed.

I brought this up several times to my parents and I felt either ignored, dismissed or attacked (they were toxic and abusive). I picked up on that pattern of outcome and that it's pointless to ask for new clothes, shoes and food for lunch. So I stopped asking and could do nothing but let life proceed and focus on fast forwarding my life until I could make my own money while feeling like I was set on fire from poverty. I was 15 years old when I stopped asking. I considered getting money and essentials is on me and no one else (duh!).

It also got me thinking on a secondary question. If i were to go on a date with a girl and she asks about my childhood and I say it like it is, would that send her running away from me?

Joe Biden is telling the border patrol to cut the razor wire that Texas governor Abbott installed to keep illegal aliens out of his state. Gov. Abbott vows to resist and install more wire every time it is removed. The Texas National Guard may be used and there is a real danger of somebody getting killed.

Many other Governors are supporting Abbott and will send supplies and more razor wire to him.

Who do you side with, A governor who is using legal means to make his state more safe and secure or a president who is weaponizing federal law enforcement to open the border and let thousands of criminals into the country?

Imagine thinking BOTH of my biological ex-Trumper parents sold themselves out to leftist cultural Marxist degeneracy

My dad and my mom were never on Biden's side, ever. They were pro-Trump for the most part. For YEARS. My dad wasn't necessarily as consistent, though he has occasionally stirred the pot with Republican, sometimes bordering on homophobic and transphobic rhetoric. My mom was even worse, as she's followed almost exlcusively pro-Trump/GOP/anti-Biden content before October 7th of last year. Today was my first time ever that I saw my mom actually "like" something so lunatically far-left and progressive and feminist and communist … someone else's post that said "I'm Black, I'm Queer, I'm Genderless"…that lady who said that goes on to say she is pro-Palestine. My mom has pretty much indirectly dumped all of her conservative values. Until TODAY, I never thought you could actually support the alphagenda and support Palestine/ceasefire. My mom still occasionally likes Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, but that's it. But I think it's because my stepdad (my younger brother's dad) keeps having insane back-'n-forth arguments with my mom about parenting and politics. My stepdad, who claims is not a conservative, ACTUALLY IS to the right of Trump/Pence.

Two thirds of gun owners say they own multiple. Why?

I hear mixed things about it

Some of the judges at former President Trump's trials were appointed by him when he was President. Does that constitute a conflict-of-interest so that they should recuse themselves?

Some judges seem to be treating him more harshly that a typical defendant, perhaps to let everyone know they are not being swayed by the fact that he gave them their job. Others may go easier on him, recognizing that he did give them their job.

Either way, couldn't that be interpreted as a conflict-of-interest? and the grounds for an appeal?

Society is collapsing. Women aren’t having enough kids, they’re told their career is more important. They are told to be selfish and put themselves first. Empowered to act like men instead of accept the female life purpose is to give life. I’m not saying getting educated is wrong, why isn’t having kids and a family empowerment?

Men on the other hand are weak on p*rn and told all the good things that make you a man and toxic masculinity. In fact only female achievements are celebrated not men’s

Everyone’s so toxic, broken and wrong about life. Life’s gonna get so hard for men to procreate. Only 1/17 men have procreated in history.

Governor Healey is asking her citizens to sign up, to put up in their homes the illegals that have their centers overflowing. How many people do you think will sign up for this and how would you ever get them out of your house once they moved in?
