Polls: Society & Politics

Democrats, would you consider bailing me out... I lost some $ years back to my own bad decisions, and I could use that $ now. I'm not desperate, but I could use better lifestyle like everyone else. It doesn't make sense to me to call up the President and get a persional bailout... I'm not in a union.

Cost is $.01 each.

If it means in the future you can't afford bread, or eggs or pay your rent, it is what it is... I just want a fraction of a cent from every democrat. I ain't askin' much.

... just like the PRIVATE labor unions with poorly managed pension funds just got from everyone, regardless of their standard of living. You are paying for this like all prior bailouts and I just wonder, if you support it.

So why not bail out each other... it's cheap? How about if we all form into a union, and we bailout everyone?

I strongly suspect we need a LOT more bailouts when you look at the homeless and broke population.

And yes, I know the govt has bailed out banks, and investment companies, private investors, and such. It's disgusting, but I didn't approve those... crooked Republicans and Democrats. Bail me out, then I'll bail you out.

I am turned off by the fact a cop can issue me a citation for going 10 to 15 over just because he’s having a crappy day

Karen Calls Cops on Men for Shoveling Snow While Black

The list of things Karens call the cops for when it comes to Black people just keeps getting longer and more baffling. The latest addition to the list is shoveling snow. According to The Daily Beast, two Black men shoveled a lady’s sidewalk (for free) and she came outside threatening to call the police.

It’s kind of a routine thing to peek outside your window after a snow storm waiting for the boys with the shovels or snowplows to come offer their labor. Apparently, this Karen didn’t appreciate that help. Gregory McAdory and his friend have a snow removal business in Rockford, Illinois, per the report. The two had gone to shovel their friend’s driveway Feb 17th and afterwards they decided to move on to clear the sidewalk in front of the neighbor’s house. McAdory told The Daily Beast the owner of the house suddenly came outside fussing about their act of service.

On cue, he took a TikTok video showing the ridiculousness which captured the Karen pulling snow with her shovel back on to the freshly shoveled sidewalk.

“Are you seriously mad because we cleaned off your sidewalk? We’re helping you,” McAdory says behind the camera. The woman then throws her shovel on the ground and pulls out her phone appearing to call 911.

“They’ll come faster if you say there’s two n—gers over here,” McAdory says in the video. The woman proceeds to tell the police, “These guys are African American. I don’t get along with them.”

Here’s How Bryan Cranston Handles People Who Don’t Think Trump’s MAGA Slogan Is Racist

Actor Bryan Cranston explained to CNN’s Chris Wallace exactly why he believes Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan can be interpreted as racist.
Cranston first told Wallace over the weekend that it was “imperative” that critical race theory is taught in the United States and “that we look at our history much the same, I think, that Germany has looked at their history and involvement in the wars, I and II, and embrace.”

It was better to say, “This is where we went wrong. This is how it went wrong,” the actor suggested.
Cranston then turned to Trump’s rallying cry.

“When I see the ‘Make America Great Again,’ my comment is, ‘Do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark?’ And most people, a lot of people, go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?’”

“I say, so, ‘Just ask yourself, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American?’” he continued. ”‘When was it great?’ So, if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them.’”

Cost of billions along with millions of lives. How much should we fight with China if we confirm they let Covid escape one of their labs?

He calls men "troublesome and useless"... never trust a man who's been married... they hate themselves

It appears America has reached the point where our differences cannot be reconciled. Although I could attempt to delineate them, this article describes them better and what a separation might look like. For those of you who have short attention spans, limited by phones and video games to that of a goldfish, you'll never get past page three. But give it a try.

Something should happen before we start shooting, other than AntiFA and BLM, that already are. So the following poll. Amicable separation, civil war, acquiescence and submittal or your better idea. I support the first with the second as back up if the other guys need persuasion.

A supervised consumption program is where people can bring illegal drugs to a private medically supervised environment and use them without feaqr of arrest or overdose. Here is a good article about this:

99% of what andrew tate says about honor, fighting, women etc is directly out of the glory days of the ancient Roman empire. Fighters usually like history because it gives them meaning, its evolved, you're more likely to die fighting a battle if you think it will go down in history. Honor is why hyper masculine men care about the past, past countries, past leaders, ancestors, myths, their families etc. Whereas atheists are almost always physically weak, short, fat, basically women

I've personally learned more about human culture via history books than psychology or sociology books and to me that's more important than knowing what manic depression is. Just exercise and eat right and be healthy lol

Excuse me for rambling. I get that proclivity from my mom. Anyway, quite frankly, psychology is pseudoscience. 90-99% of it is outdated bullshit. You're better off reading history books and thinking for yourself about why people are how they are

Europe has some of the lowest sentences for gruesome crimes, yet has the lowest recidivism. We imprison more of our populace than most other countries and have the highest recidivism rates.

Is that because we base our sentences off emotion? Should we be?

News Outlets Demand Access To Jan. 6 Footage Given To Tucker Carlson By Kevin McCarthy

Several major media organizations have demanded access to the thousands of hours of video recorded inside the U. S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) gave the footage to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The letter, sent to congressional leaders Friday, argues the footage given exclusively to Carlson should be shared with other media groups. Earlier this week, McCarthy gave Carlson 41,000 hours of closed-circuit footage from inside the U. S. Capitol during the attack.

The letter was sent on behalf of ABC, Advance Publications, Axios, CNN, CBS, Gannett, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, ProPublica and Scripps.

Attorney Charles Tobin, representing the outlets, said full public access to the footage is needed to complete the historical record.

“Without full public access to the complete historical record, there is concern that an ideologically-based narrative of an already polarizing event will take hold in the public consciousness, with destabilizing risks to the legitimacy of Congress, the Capitol Police, and the various federal investigations and prosecutions of January 6 crimes,” Tobin wrote in the letter.
Carlson has repeatedly defended rioters who attacked the Capitol and called the hearings on Jan. 6 insurrection “propaganda.”

Property taxes have got to be the most anti-freedom thing to have (especially when our property taxes fund groomers in our public education system and power-tripping abusive law enforcement officers). Americans often flaunts the hardest and loudest of supposedly being the "freeiest people/country on earth" while happily being rear-end reyp'd by their federal and and state government with property taxes or else big daddy guberment will take away their houses even if they already fully paid off their mortgages.

Granted, only a few countries in the world don't charge property taxes toward people who already paid off their homes but at least the majority of other countries (with or without property taxes) never claimed to be the "land of the free".

If America truly wants to live up to their "land of the free" title, one of the things they should do is abolish property taxes and replace it with a much less intrusive tax system.

Everything needs a password to remember and verification. It’s so stupid!!
