There are smart people here that make me stop and think. Maybe even change my mind on some topics. Not about Trump but about issues of the day.
True , I think for the most part , most of us are pretty solid on our core views, im personally registered as an independent, probably the closest thing I would be considered would be a blue dog Democrat ( if that even exists anymore ) I can’t say I’m a supporter of either side ( I think both sides have corruption ) I would like to have someone who isn’t an extremist on either side , just someone that has common sense about things and dosnt go so far extreme in either direction

We just replaced it with Israel, aa Putin directed us to do, by proxy with Hamas/Iran/Hezebollah. His command was ours to take. It doesn't bother you that Putin is playing us like Marionettes with Trump & to a certain extent Biden. China/Russia are setting themselves up for war with us, if necessary. As soon as they are confident, Putin will attempt to take the entirety of Ukraine, and then look to the next country. His Russian empire doesn't end with Ukraine. And of course, when Xi feels confident then Hong Kong will suffer and then Taiwan will be taken over.

They are making preparations just recently by making inroads on the Himalayan border right now. China is always doing something to prepare for tomorrow. It's going to come before we know it. Maybe it won't be in our lifetime, but it certainly will occur in your daughter's lifetime. This laissez faire attitude that you wish to take is dangerous.
Of course it bothers me. Don’t forget in the months leading up to the war I was the lone voice urging the U.S. to provide Ukraine with the military assets necessary to defend against the invasion. I knew once Russian acquired that territory it was never being returned. Ukraine loses a war of attrition. Ukraine will be in a worse position two years from now than today from which to negotiate. If you have a better solution then I’m all ears

Unintelligent voting precinct procedures!

In Missouri, you can go to any polling place in your county. You walk in, hand the election workers your ID, they scan the barcode, and print your ballot on the spot.

Took me about 8 min to vote yesterday. It was a much better experience than my times voting in Tulsa.
Took me 5 minutes in Tulsa. No line. Tuesday around 9.

Unintelligent voting precinct procedures!

I'm assuming they have to be online to do that, at least in intranet or subnet form? Sounds very convenient, but that opens them up to being attacked, and having to invest more into cyber security. Takes a greater risk.
I’m guessing it is an intranet at each polling location. I agree it is definitely riskier.

I mainly point it out because of how convenient and impressive it was.

I believe a significant portion of them would be accepting of basic respect for gays and lesbians. It’s when you get into things like pronouns “a girl identifying as a boy is a “they””, men in girls bathrooms, males playing against their daughters in sports, etc…is where things begin to break down for most.
Genetic males and females have vastly different physical abilities on average. Vastly. That is no different than saying that stuff falls down and not up when you drop things.

We just need some damned common sense! And don't make a big deal out of everything.

On the other side of it, I don't really care if a little boy thinks of himself as a girl and thus uses the girls bathroom. Neither would any of my daughters. It is a made up problem.

Again common sense. Not stoking fear or making up crazy talk.

So no more giving hundreds of billions to our industrial military complex or will we just find another war to keeping lining their pockets?

Hate to see Putin ceded that territory but when we allowed them to take it virtually unopposed it was inevitable. Ukraine isn’t taking it back without US boots on the ground and that ain’t happening. Time to stop the killing and wasted billions and start rebuilding what’s left of Ukraine. Peace is good.

Maybe we can achieve a semblance of peace in the Middle East while we’re at it. Wars and killing need to stop

Speaking of Communism and the Third Reich... I guess whatever assistance Biden can dole out, ahead of turning over the reins to Trump, will be the last of it from the US. With Trump and his buddy Elon, we are now team Putin. I wonder if the Evil Axis will make us an honorary member? Trump can fill his pockets with Rubles. Elon has his own money, so he can fill his pockets with emptiness, and the communist way.

Yes. We must adhere to traditional general roles!


Männer sollten die Hosen und Frauen die Kleider tragen!

Sorry… was I shouting in German? I don’t even know German…. I don’t know what came over me… I must have had a small stroke for a second.


Anyway… we will be passing out the uniforms at the schools next Thursday to encourage these gender norms….. we got a wonderful deal on some khaki shirts with black shorts for the boys. Very smart looking.

Yes. It is just reality. Though I would say homosexuality is greatly normalized in society but the hyperemphasis on other sexual identity fringe issues is off putting to many.

I go back to a point I made about the time I grew up. The liberal adpiration was "Don't label me." Now it often feels like "give people as many labels as you can."

Might not be a popular view here buy gotta report what I see.
