Good thing the baby didn't have this on or Biden would have had baby shot.

They probably could have argued a lower settlement but that would mean Rupert Murdoch, Hannity etc would have to face perjury. Doesn’t that dampen their truth telling?

Today, the United States has more income and wealth inequality than almost any major country on Earth, and it is worse now than at any time since the 1920s.

At a time when millions of Americans are working two or three jobs to feed their families, the three wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than the bottom half of the American people.

Over the last 30 years, the top 1 percent has seen a $21 trillion increase in its wealth, while the bottom half of American society has actually lost $900 billion in wealth. In other words, there has been a massive transfer of wealth from those who have too little to those who have too much. For the sake of our democracy and working families all over America who are struggling economically, that has got to change.

In order to reduce the outrageous level of inequality that exists in America today and to rebuild the disappearing middle class, the time has come for the United States to establish an annual tax on the extreme wealth of the top 0.1 percent of U. S. households.

This wealth tax would only apply to net worth of over $32 million and would raise an estimated $4.35 trillion over the next decade. Anyone who has a net worth of less than $32 million would not see their taxes go up at all under this plan.

Granted, every country has their own fair share of broken family court systems but of all the countries, America has the absolute most corrupt one of them all. A woman can easily file for divorce for no-fault, take away half of the man's hard-earned money and properties, take away custody of the kids from the man regardless if she's even a remotely decent fit parent or not, and the list goes on.

You can't even save your own assets or give it to your own immediate family member or else murrica's family court system will label it "asset-hiding" or whatever bullshit laws the family court system in America has.

I've learn to accept that society doesn't give 2 fucks about men in general. They only give a shit about men when men can either make them money or provide them something they need, and even then, men get absolutely no appreciation or respect for doing things for people.

I have yet to find a woman who very sincerely cares about men's mental health problems and doesn't use men's deep personal secrets against them as weapons.

I think so. Everyone involved during JFK administration are dead now. Why does US continue to punish Cuba.

If the woman inside the house had a gun, and shot all 4 the attackers, would you support her right to do so?

And some of you want to restrict gun rights and magazines? There's 4 attackers, it would take a lot of rounds to take them out.

I don't want to hear about issues about accidentally hitting her husband, or errant bullets. Question is does she have a right to blast the attackers?

* What kind of people do this and why?

* Would you jump in to save this woman, or help beat her up and why?

* Do you think liberals will make up to the mess they've caused anytime soon?

* Do you think this kind of chaos is coming to a town near you soon?

People seem to believe that guns kill people but in reality, people kill people. Guns are not the problem. People are the problem.

Fox could likely survive a nine-figure loss to Dominion, analysts say

Fox Corp. can most likely weather even the harshest financial penalty that could come from Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit, analysts say.

The blockbuster trial — originally set to begin in a Delaware court on Monday before being unexpectedly delayed by one day — will determine whether Fox Corp. can be held liable for false claims made on Fox News, the media company’s namesake cable TV property, that Dominion’s voting machines were used to rig the 2020 presidential election.

Dominion’s lawsuit seeks $1.6 billion in compensatory damages, an amount that experts said would likely be whittled down substantially depending on the jury’s judgment or in an out-of-court settlement. Fox said in a court filing Sunday that it believed Dominion had lowered its requested damages to around $1 billion, but the voting machine company disputed that, saying it had not reduced its claim.

The media giant contests any claims of liability or damages sought by Dominion, with a Fox spokesperson calling the lawsuit “a political crusade in search of a financial windfall, but the real cost would be cherished First Amendment rights.”

In the event Dominion wins its case, said Lyrissa Lidsky, a constitutional law professor at the University of Florida, the jury is highly unlikely to award Dominion all the money it’s seeking for what it says is the reputational damage exacted by Fox News’ broadcasts.

In theory, Lidsky said, the jurors could also impose punitive damages to punish Fox for “extremely wrongful conduct” and award an even higher financial penalty than Dominion asked for. But she said she had seen no evidence “thus far that suggests there are going to be damages at that magnitude, even though the damages may be very large.”

She is a good writer, fyi. Look up “The Cheerleaders” long story.

Personally I think in the vast majority of cases that is true. Human seem to be unable to hold authority without abusing it but authority is only tolerated because anarchy would lead to chaos and more suffering.

I came across a post on here about a girl with a condition that requires the use of a wheelchair, and she mentioned she's dealt with bullying growing up and it kind of made my heart sink. To be clear, I'm not suggesting it doesn't happen. But I can't even imagine anyone ever doing something like that, even if it's just coming from children who haven't reached a certain point of maturity.

So I'm curious how common it is. Have you ever bullied someone in a wheelchair? Have you've seen others do it?

He's a genuine, good guy. It would require a new amendment to the constitution
