They are for the social benefit. At least they are supposed to be. In reality, they work for the business owners and wealthy for the most part.

But they’re not a private police force, like a security detail would be. They’re public.
February 13, 2020 at 22:18
People weren’t happy. That’s why Trump.
February 13, 2020 at 22:17
The police motto is To serve and protect. It’s meant to be that way. Just because police forces across the country have been corrupted to mainly haras...

Well, the atheists who didn’t even start out hating God first before denying His existence are a rare breed. You are a rare breed. It seems to me that...
February 13, 2020 at 22:05
Spiritual people are open to the universe (or God) and know that we all have a purpose. The universe (or God) will reveal yours to you when it’s your ...

I’m not going to repeat myself. Go back and read what I said.
February 13, 2020 at 21:57
You’re not fooling me. With all atheists it starts out as personal. Only after finding reasons to hate God do they then rationalize that there is no G...
February 13, 2020 at 21:55
Are you really concerned about some hypothetical fawn in a forest, or are you in pain? I suspect it’s the latter. I recommended talking to someone who...
February 13, 2020 at 21:46
Don’t take his word for it. Google what conservative scholars think about Social Security and Medicare, as examples. Google “tax is theft” while you’r...
February 13, 2020 at 21:20
Have you seen the crowds at the Trump rallies? I mean apart from the token minorities standing behind Trump that are placed there for PR purposes. Wha...
February 13, 2020 at 21:16
That means almost 60% is white. I’m not saying that this is good or bad. I’m explaining how Democrats lost to Trump.
February 13, 2020 at 21:12
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, food stamps, WIC, the right to form a union are not Marxism; but you certainly sound like...

He wants better deals for our exporters. I didn’t say he actually accomplished anything yet.
February 13, 2020 at 20:47
And that’s exactly why I understand how Trump got elected. I voted for Sanders then Hillary in 2016. I’m sure the Republican House and Senate in 2017 ...
February 13, 2020 at 20:45
I’ve always voted Democratic. I guess that makes me a Democrat. However, I would have been happy under Eisenhower, I think. George H.W. Bush wasn’t ba...
February 13, 2020 at 20:25
You’re welcome. I’m very passionate about politics. I have been ever since 9/11. I may get personal sometimes, but I fight like a Republican. Just kno...
February 13, 2020 at 20:06
Okay. I just want you to know that I don’t hate Trump supporters. I just hate Trump.
February 13, 2020 at 19:49
This is a good point. Rural-white-male-right wingers believe in the mythology of freedom as given to them by their favorite pundits including Limbaugh...
February 13, 2020 at 19:44
What do you hope to accomplish here? Seriously. I’m trying to figure you out. Either you work for Breitbart and are throwing pasta at the wall to see ...
February 13, 2020 at 19:20
:chin: Well, I have bigger fish to fry, anyway. So, President Trump. Why are you such a whiny little bitch?
February 13, 2020 at 18:49
We don’t help our own people that much. There are hundreds of thousands of drug overdoses year to year, and that is mainly due to hopelessness. I give...
February 13, 2020 at 18:39
No, that’s what he will be saying.
February 13, 2020 at 18:34
You’re not serious, are you? I’m not even talking about myself. I’m fine. I used to live in the ghetto for six years. Those people are not fine.
February 13, 2020 at 18:33
Sure, you can’t make every American’s life great, but you can at least put in an effort. America doesn’t even try that.
February 13, 2020 at 18:29
Are you saying if it weren’t the US policing the world, it would be, say, China? I don’t disagree with this, but don’t you think the American governme...
February 13, 2020 at 18:25
I don’t follow you.
February 13, 2020 at 18:21
Amen, brother.
February 13, 2020 at 18:15
Most Americans believe the lies. In a lot of other countries, the citizenry aren’t so naive. That’s the difference.
February 13, 2020 at 18:11
I suffer. You suffer. The fawn suffers. We think it is bad because it is us. If you are going to posit a god, then it’s not a stretch to think that li...
February 13, 2020 at 18:09
If you replaced “Central” with “Corporate” in “CIA”, then I think you might have a better idea of what this country is all about. America is a busines...
February 13, 2020 at 18:05
I’m just saying, it’s ludicrous to think that you could figure out God’s knowledge with a human mind. If you’re just saying that God cannot exist beca...
February 13, 2020 at 17:53
You don’t know that it isn’t the case that the more you suffer the better your afterlife. “No pain. No gain.” Who says that the fawn’s soul didn’t bar...

I’m thinking about starting a Twitter campaign. #DemsTrollTrump Say something about his small hands, low IQ, failed businesses, orange skin, or baby-b...

Bernie Sanders would have been a regular Democrat in the 30s and 40s just like FDR. Only since Reagan where center-right is called center-left is Sand...
February 13, 2020 at 17:06
You are a funny dude, but I still don’t like you.
February 13, 2020 at 15:31
“UnAmerican ideals”. You mean like fascism? Oh, wait.
February 13, 2020 at 15:29
I’m probably crazier than Trump; but unlike him I did well in school, and I’m capable of learning new things. Yeah, deepfakes are going to make it dif...
February 13, 2020 at 13:32
Exactly. Trump wants to dismantle the social safety net, and he might actually get his way sooner or later. He won’t go unless kicking and screaming.
February 13, 2020 at 10:24
My taxes would be the same. Yours might be much more, though.
February 13, 2020 at 10:16
The point is that anyone can be an owner. It even appears that anyone can be the leader of the free (not so free anymore) world. When a few people are...
February 13, 2020 at 10:13
Did you ever get to elect who owns ExxonMobil?
February 13, 2020 at 10:07
Did you ever elect your boss?
February 13, 2020 at 10:02
How much freedom do you feel like you have or had in the workplace?
February 13, 2020 at 10:01
Maybe it seems more like that in Canada. Not here. It never was.
February 13, 2020 at 09:58
Agreed. If only we had a democracy in the US. We never did.
February 13, 2020 at 09:56
Think of a tribe. They are like one big extended family. It need not have a single leader or even several leaders. Members take the roles of leader or...
February 13, 2020 at 09:54
If we were born into a world without leaders and with no laws, we would still manage. The community would ostracize individuals with really bad behavi...
February 13, 2020 at 09:46
Fine, Sir Buzz Killington.
February 13, 2020 at 09:40
Lol. I’m a big boy. I can handle it.
