Polls: Society & Politics

That’s essentially what the district is arguing in a lawsuit after a 6 yr old shot his teacher. They say getting shot should just result in workers comp. Everyday school stuff, gawd!

Just off the cuff?

If people are so desperate by the 1000's in Venezuela to risk their lives coming to the USA, should the USA take action to stabilize the country, by any means necessary?

“There if we work, we work only to eat. We don’t have enough to buy ourselves a pair of shoes. … That’s why we are coming here,” she says. “Because we know that here you can survive. Here you can live well.”

You can be assured if USA does not, China or Russia will. We might as well solve the problems.

President Biden spoke today at a commencement address at Howard University, May 2023 and that's what he said. He said this at the state of the union address.

Of all things he could talk about, to this largely black audience, this is the topic he chose.

He received some cheers.

It’s a scientific fact men and women’s brains are wired differently.

Of course this doesn’t mean these differences dictate exactly how everybody is going to behave. There are men with stereotypical female behaviors and vice versa.

However I think it’s 50/50. 50% nature and 50% nurture.

The Fed has been raising interest rates quite a bit over the last year to combat inflation. And this may have helped create the bank crises in Silicon Valley, etc. like 2007 crash, these banks were handing out loans to folks who couldn’t afford it.

Of course when the government stays out of it, other banks like Chase will buy up the shattered remnants and now be even larger. What if Chase is next?

You guys blame immigrants for Covid spikes when it’s really your unvaxxed asses.

Trump Doubles Down On His Jan. 6 Lies, Won’t Apologize To Pence At CNN Town Hall

Coup-attempting former President Donald Trump doubled down Wednesday on his lies about the 2020 election and his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol and claimed, again, that his vice president had done “something wrong” by not declaring Trump the winner of the election he had lost.
“That was a rigged election,” Trump lied, barely two minutes into a “town hall” hosted for him by CNN.

“If you look at what happened in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, if you look at what happened in Detroit, Michigan, if you look at what happened in Atlanta, millions of votes, and all you have to do is take a look at government cameras,” Trump said, repeating yet again the same falsehoods that ginned up his followers into attacking the Capitol. “You will see them, people going to 28 different voting booths to vote, to put in seven ballots apiece. I mean, and they’re all on camera.”
Responding to a question about why he waited three hours before telling his mob of followers to stop attacking the Capitol, Trump falsely claimed he had done so soon after 2 p. m.

In reality, that taped video message was not released until 4:17 p. m. — two hours after his supporters had broken into the building while assaulting police officers, and more than 90 minutes after Trump had attacked former Vice President Mike Pence in a tweet for lacking the “courage” to award Trump a second term despite having lost the election by 7 million votes.
That post enraged his followers and led them to swarm the entrances within minutes, according to a video released by the House Jan. 6 committee last summer. Many roamed the halls, searching for Pence and chanting: “Hang Mike Pence!”

But not long term relationships?

Point is these 2 things is basically like willingly committing financial suicide and complicating things beyond necessity.

I don't get why many people act like getting married and kids is an exciting must-have experience for everybody like its somehow better than having sex, winning a lottery, driving a jetski or a Ferrari or going on vacation to the Bahamas.

i guess misery loves company.

The protester was carrying an AK. Which just shows guns don’t make you safer. Killer said he pointed the AK at him. But tons of witnesses say he was pushing his child in a stroller. So that will be a great memory for the child.

The killer’s social media posts says a lot, too.
“I might go to Dallas to shoot looters.” And "I wonder if they will let my [sic] cut the ears off of people who's decided to commit suicide by me.”

Texas Governor says he would pardon him if convicted. But I doubt he will.
