Re: Banning TikTok

I don’t know of anyone seeking to erase their value as human beings. They are in this country illegally. You can call them whatever you choose but that doesn’t change the fact that they are in this country illegally. It also doesn’t change the fact that this problem has become much worse under this...

Couldn’t find a pic from the actual year. But was just asking about the button on the floor. You gotta be old to know what it is. I know what it's for. I'm old? I don't want to be old! I've have some Civic, Pontiac 6000, Subaru Forester, Hyundai Elantra, and a Ford Ranger before the Audi. The Audi ...

Re: Banning TikTok

We went from debating "illegals" to the debate becoming about "illegal aliens". Somehow the topic shifted with us noticing. Good ol' sleight of word. Just a small change, maybe no one will notice. I simply pointed out that "illegal aliens" is not a "legal" ter...

Re: Judge rules Fani Willis can continue

You can commit plenty of crimes for things that are not preplanned. Like, the levels of murder are predicated on the idea. The riot was pre-planned. Like, you know, seditious conspiracy and the fact they have lots of evidence of preplanning. I mean, lots. https://www.google.com/search?q=planning+jan...

Re: Supreme Court rules Trump cannot be kicked off Colorado ballot

Donald is taking control. He can't keep hiring incompetent people indefinitely, sooner or later he'll accidentally stumble across someone who knows what they're doing. If you're a Republican, but not MAGA, then you're just RINO. The current party is very quick to acquiesce, and if they don't they ge...

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

Netanyahu should have fired back. However, the near-total destruction of Gaza is far too much. They do appear to be creating a Gaza where there is nothing left to return to. It may well be their goal. When Netanyahu and the Israeli government use the term "From the river to the sea", it do...

Why do you think that is.
He always seems to be surprised by what he reads, and if he's surprised then no one else has ever heard of what he's about to say.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

Retaliating for a terrorist attack was a necessary and completely justified decision. Cats eating the dead bodies of completely neutral hospital patients who were badly hurt by the crossfire are war's way of telling us that somewhere something got way over the line. It's the stuff of World Court ca...

If you dismiss such a term, is it a slur or just an accurate description of what you believe is his conduct. I mean if someone commits criminal acts, we call them criminals.

With news that Steve Mnuchin is putting together a team to buy TikTok, I'm beginning to wonder if it's less about China having a stake in the company and more about it just not being owned, and profited from, by an American. Am I being overly cynical? It would be a lot easier to simply require TikTo...

Re: GOP NC Guy candidate Mark Robinson

I support AOC and Sanders. Don't necessarily support everything they stand for. There isn't a politician who I agree with on everything. I will support people who are the least among us. You know, like Jesus would do. Now THERE was a socialist.

Robinson is just plain scary.
