BTW, here in Chicago it's illegal to wax your gibbous.

Look at the current day cultures who waste
the talents of women who could be engineers, scientists, or whatever.
What's good about going back to ignorance and injustice?
Is this what's going to make America great again or just make us like everyone else?

I doubt if she gave a direct order. Like Frump, she just created an atmosphere that allowed these thugs to be their worst selves because they face no accountability.
As Daniel Defoe once wrote, "If there are no consequences, all men would be tyrants if they could."

Did Noem give the order that in Democratic cities all agents can fire their weapon into occupied cars because it happened again. Same excuse they always use "they were defending themselves"

This is MAGA's man sent from "God". He would return us to the golden days or yore.
Come to think of it, he has. He's retuned us to the days when men could sexually assault women and get away with it.
Good Job, MAGA!
You must be very proud of yourselves.

It seems like all my life, up until about 10 minutes ago, the right in this country couldn't stop talking about how dangerous it is to give the government too much power.
This is another example of how full of shit they've always been. They don't have principles; they just have rage.

I say this as an old white guy who has lived a long time.
I think women figure out everything faster than we do.
Some of us took a little time to figure out what a scumbag a guy like Trump is and some guys will never figure it out.
Most women knew instinctively what a cancer he was.

To Eagle Ed and Jesse, read a book. First, ask someone what a book is and read about what Belgium did in the Congo or the English in Ireland, France in West Africa, Spain in the "New World"...
Sadly, I could do this all day.

It's the result of monetizing every aspect of society. Let's have for profit health care. Let's invade Venezuela for oil. Let's pay morons a shit ton of money to tell us crap that we desperately want to be true in the name of free $peech.

It's unfortunate (for us) that if you're a crackpot academic with ideas that excite the far right you will get so many offers to appear on podcasts and write articles that you can spark a conversation even if all your peers disagree with you

Maybe we need autonomous politicians. Remember "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? In the movie, the aliens gave all policing power over to robots because they realized they couldn't control their own behavior.
Of course, eventually the robots would...
Okay, never mind.

You're right about this in the past. But I guess my question is what difference does it make with this Congress?
I can't figure out why Trump doesn't just ram his idiotic tariff ideas down Congress's throat and make them pass it.
It's not like any of them have a spine.

When oil and tech CEOs are in the loop about his plans to invade a sovereign nation and Congress isn’t, that’s all you need to know about the legitimacy of his actions.

That would be great. Then Trump could screw up running Russia and Venezuela.
He can do for both of them what he's done to us.

That's very apt.
You already know this, but no one deliberately set fire to the Hindenburg. Venezuela is entirely on Trump.
How much worse is a human tragedy when it's done with deliberate malice aforethought?
Every day I feel more ashamed of what my country has become.

God, I love the snort laugh! There was nothing better during lunch in grade school than waiting until someone had a mouthful of milk and then making them laugh.
A friend of mine in second grade once caused half a hotdog to shoot out of my nose.
Ah, good times.

That's spot on. I do have to tell you, however, that my two-year-old granddaughter resents the comparison. She's no longer wearing diapers.
Yep, that's the other option. He's as impatient as a two year old, so the reluctance of the oil corps to pay out of pocket will spur him to steal tax payer dollars to do it himself.
