Re: Biden's Speech
You may not say you're equating the two in so many words, but you're saying is that your actions will reflect that. Whether you like it or not, it may well come down to either Donald or Biden. If you're not voting for either, you're essentially saying " I'm comfortable with either man winning &...

I'd like to see the charts and graphs showing Biden's energy policies that lead to a worldwide increase in oil prices/gas prices. I get that there is some US-centricity about it, but do keep in mind that things happen OUTSIDE the USA that the USA has nothing to do with. Conversely, things happen in ...

I have no problem with unions. People have a right to join unions and they have a right to be left alone. The government shouldn’t take sides. Neither for or against unions. The government should be neutral. The government certainly chooses a side when it comes to business. They can advocate for bo...

Re: The issue that will define the 2024 election
Is that issue that one candidate is running on being a dictator? I feel it's an important issue. Yes, he says he'd only be a dictator on day one but the question was relevant enough to be asked. The latter is the more important part of that sentence. The first part concerning, to be sure, but the la...

Are the people sitting in that row going to sue?
I hope so.
I hate heights, but don't mind flying. Still, I'd imagine that it would be pretty traumatic to have the ok with plane flying canceled out so quickly by the fear of heights thing.

You should look into the tactic of civil disobedience. Blocking streets is a big part of it. You disrupt peacefully. Everything Gandhi did was illegal. So you say he should have been imprisoned.

Re: Biden's Speech
I didn’t say they were equal or equally bad. Each is bad in his own way. Neither is good for this country. It sounds as if you advocate voting for the lesser of two evils. That’s still a bad choice. Doesn't it usually come down to the lesser of two evils? If that's how you view it, that's your choi...

Re: Biden's Speech
It seems simple to me. If you're not going to vote for Joe Biden, you're OK with Donald winning, because you're not doing what you can, the very least you can, to ensure it doesn't happen. You just have to understand basic math to know this.

Investigate everyone on the list. Prosecute where necessary, regardless of who they are. If it's anyone I admired, supported, liked, etc, then make sure they are properly punished where applicable. I'm holding "my guys" to a higher standard because it is what I expect. Not that I admire or...

Attempting to avoid paying a civil judgment is not a Constitutional right. I don't think it's even covered in the Constitution.

Really? So in order to appeal a verdict you cannot afford, you must put up the money you cannot afford? They should have sued him for trillions. I believe your right to appeal isn’t limited in that fashion. So I’m doubting your facts. GoU is correct. The idea behind an appeal bond is that an appeal...
