Polls: Society & Politics

Does / should it matter what TYPE OF ALCOHOL OR THE SIZE OF CONTAINER?

If you are supervising your own kids does that change anything?

Does the drinkers walking / mobility or being stationary change the equation?

Are there any other ancillary circumstances that in conjunction with drinking in public rise to the level of a crime? Ticket? Fine?

Is this just another anachronistic ridiculous moralizing holdover of "Sunday Blue Laws"?

*Some jurisdictions where this is illegal vendors provide a paper bag for you to cover the beverage that way their customers don't have any problems.

Kinda related but would a gay man have driven more MAGAs to the polls? More libs?

I have read that many people who have not shown sufficient respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk have been fired from their jobs at the urging of right-wing operatives. Will this trend extend to those who criticize the current Republican administration? If so, would that be reasonable or legal?

It seems that we might be finally losing our rights to free speech. Do you agree, or do you think this is an overreaction?

When someone, anyone, countenances or advocates committing violence to or even murdering a person by name, law enforcement should be authorized to detain (not arrest) them and spend the night in the can for questioning the next morning but no charges. THAT would cut back on the worst hate speech. Save your snarky responses. Its a good idea. Take the poll.

“Frankly, when you see stuff like this — I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the F. C. C. ahead.”

Project 2025 Author & now FCC director Brandon Carr

Quote B:

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. in between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. on Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this... Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction. demolition, construction. this is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. this is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

Jimmy Kimmel (who by the way is not creative, funny or original IMHO)

"Israel has no reason to stop the IDF created genocide. NONE. Their reputation is global trash. It will stay global trash and they know it. The world is distracted by the Trump irreality show and Bibi is the savviest operator of our generation - never let a good crisis go to waste.

Israel only needs one partner, and one partner alone, the United States, and at a more granular level, the Trump-MAGA Party. Israel will sacrifice ALL others in this ever evolving parasitic & symbiotic relationship.

Bibi / Likud's (there is no difference) primary plan now, is fourfold:

1) Continue to deeply intermingle Israel and America - so much so that you don’t know where one ends and the other begins.

2) Neuter the Knesset, the courts, the media, the arts & especially the secular electorate.

3) Fully scrap the Orthodox draft exemption under the guise of this 10/7 Hamas "extraordinary situation" while simultaneously avoiding responsibility for it's politically charged demise

4) Annex Gaza for development with Trump private companies in exchange for continued military, intelligence, diplomatic support."

This is a question i never thought i would have to ask.. But in recent the trump team has assigned the removal of slavery history specifically the bad sides of it from national parks and museums.

www.washingtonpost.com/.../

While the depictions and evidence of the literal scars of slavery are being removed from museums and national public spaces. Trump's team supports renaming forts back to the people who were on the side of the confederacy... let me make this absolutely clear. The confederacy wanted to keep slavery legal. To support confederate members and its confederate flag, is a support for slavery. Yes I get that some people claim the confederate flag is a symbol for southern pride.. but be real, its for the support of slavery.

Reinstating confederate names to Places like
Fort Barfoot
instead of honoring a medal of honor recipient that has no ties to the confederacy they chose to name it after a confederate army general George Edward Pickett

Fort Eisenhower
being changed to Fort Gordon, instead of honoring Dwight D. Eisenhower a former president who didn't support slavery, they instead chose someone that supported the confederacy. However with respect to Gordon's accomplishments in the war. Still Gordon was on the side that supported slavery.

Fort Gregg Adams
The current trump team wants to rename it back to Fort Robert E Lee, a confederate general. It was named Fort Gregg Adams, for Lt. Gen Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col. Charity Adams accomplishments in the military and they didn't have ties to the confederacy.

But I think you get the point.
Why allow so much confederacy praising in an america that doesn't want slavery?

I was thinking how illogical it is that some liberals believe that because you are Christian and oppose homosexuality, you somehow hate homosexuals. That is not logical. You can disagree with the way someone lives their lives, but not hate them. Some conservatives are just as illogical when they say every tax increase is communism. It just is not logical. It is the result of too much ideology. What do you think?
