They should also have to say exactly what they think made America great that they want to bring back. I would have thought money, intellectual freedom, and not being jailed without due process would be candidates.
when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Prices are going up. People are losing jobs. Housing is unaffordable. Republicans are trying to gut Social Security and Medicare. The stock market is in turmoil.
But hey, at least corrupt billionaires are getting another tax cut.

I'm only going to post positive things today ...
Cleveland is doing so much better now that the city owns its own sports teams. No more need to build a new multi-billion dollar stadium to support some billionaire's wealth project.
I said "positive", not true.

For anyone paying attention to the sports debacle which is the Cleveland Browns .... I am done with them if (when) they move the new stadium to Brook Park (out of downtown) and give the Haslams everything they want for Xmas. I want billionaires out of sports. Let cities buy their own teams!!!

Saudi Arabia confirmed as 2034 World Cup host
We just got over the debacle which was the world cup in Qatar with all their human rights violations and deaths during construction of single-use sports stadiums. You's have thought FIFA would have learned their lesson. No. Curruption reigns @ FIFA.

I got a notice from United Health Care that my last visit to my primary care doctor was denied because my annual physical (I am > 60) was considered medically unnecessary.
Many people will share rumors, claiming to know who killed Brian Thompson.
And United Healthcare will be there, to deny people's claims.
It's what they do.

But will you learn about being a Buddhist from one? I have studied/lived both for over 60 years (30 each) and still do not know what either one is.
I have concluded that I will learn more about being a Christian from a Buddhist than I would from an evangelical.
