Nobody cares about Covid anymore. I doubt he even has it. I think he's holing up in preparation for dropping out this weekend. Maybe he'll say Covid c...

Republicans were disciplined and did a good job tearing down Joe, but looks like it will be for naught.

Is a person who has no chance of winning a competitor? Aren't they, at that point, a spoiler?
July 18, 2024 at 03:27
Right. I don't necessarily like Democrats trying to keep third parties off the ballot, but I know they're no different than any other political party ...

I'm not seeing anything criminal in Dems pursuing legal challenges.

I just found out who Amber Rose is. The Republican party has taken an odd turn.

You and I both know Trump would certainly sign a draft bill if Republicans sent it to him and the country was in dire straights. Supposing some Red Da...

Do you think Trump would refuse to sign a draft bill if a Republican Congress sent him one?
July 16, 2024 at 06:06
We don't currently have a draft. That can change, of course, which is why men have to register for selective service. You have no problem with being f...

So you have no problem with men having to register for selective service?
July 16, 2024 at 06:01
Register for Selective Service (the draft) https://www.usa.gov/register-selective-service

Trump is against the draft? I know he's against drafting himself, but I haven't heard a peep from him about changing our draft policy.
July 16, 2024 at 05:36
Is there anything sadder than a draft dodger posing as a tough guy?

You think there's going to be a nuclear war?

I think we have a duty to save a drowning child in the scenario I talked about. Why does that duty fade the further away the child is? If I can easily...

If you come across a child drowning and you have merely to reach out your hand and get your arm wet to save her, do you have a duty to do so? Are you ...

Yeah, but I think animal rights will be near the top of the list.
July 15, 2024 at 18:39
When future generations judge us harshly, it will be for how we treat and eat animals. It doesn't bother me enough to change my behavior, but I would ...

What's wrong with solar panels? I live in the desert and my panels have saved me over ten thousand over the years. I lease them through Solar City.

They won't have the votes to do this. At best, they'll have a margin of 1 or 2. Susan Collins would never go through with it.

One bystander killed, another in critical. Sounds like shooter was on a rooftop with a rifle.

The conscious state "high" and/or "buzzed" certainly is causal for a lot of people. Myself included.
