If you want to know what an untrained, defunded police force looks like in use of force situations, look at the ICE shootings in MN.

I wish more people were adult enough to just say they don't like a given person without it having to be attributed to a personality fault of the person they don't like, a disorder, or some concocted story involving claims of abuse.

We really should cap the age of the president at 70. Retirement plus 5 years is generous.

Funny, not only did the left fail to defeat fascists, they also managed to kill each other while it took over Spain. The communist elements got into actual gun battles with the anarchists, much like Kronstadt and Makhno in the Russian civil war.

America is built by design for the lucky, the successful, and the incredibly talented. It isn't built for the average, the working person, the disabled. Your conservatives who hate welfare fall into this 1st category or they are deluded enough to believe they are not part of the second category.

"In this game, both sides, of course, attempted to hold dominant positions; for trench “warfare” consisted largely of dominating enemy territory without occupying it. This, at its best, was to keep him in the mud where life was miserable and strong defences impossible while we occupied high land"
