Re: The GOP Snowflake Thread

Yeah. Republicans are too woke for Rob Schneider. Schneider didn't suddenly become inappropriate and offensive. They should have known beforehand. I have never found the man funny, whether it's SNL or his movies. There's a reason why he's not out touring. Schneider who? The one that bothers me is t...

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.

I know. Every case is different. Stats show most police / civilian interactions to be peaceful. Those that involve force are more often justified. But there are exceptions and those are what we hear about. You don’t hear about the vast majority that don’t involve force or are otherwise justifiable ...

Re: Presidential ranking

I don’t mind investing money for results. Do you? I just don’t care to throw money at a problem with no accountability and no expectation of results. All too often we equate spending money to solving the problem. Often times it’s wasted without a plan. Depends. Is it yet another patch slapped on th...

Nobody won the Cold War. Both sides made disastrous mistakes. Russia dropped out first, due to its weaker economic fundamentals and essentially personality based political system, despite all its propaganda to the contrary. At some point propaganda has to be backed up with real governance beyond ju...

Re: Mass Shootings/Gun Control Reform Thread

I mean releasing some of those arrested on their own recognizance is perfectly okay. First time offenders who aren’t a danger to themselves or others and who aren’t flight risk. Fair enough. We lock the rest up. Now if i remember right the last time we tried the "tuff on crime" thing we f...

Re: Mass Shootings/Gun Control Reform Thread

There is some balance here. If you arrest someone multiple times then releasing them on their own recognizance isn’t working. Set the bail high enough that they don’t easily get out to reoffend. Part of the job of the law enforcement system and the judicial system is to protect the public as well a...

Funny how Glenn takes credit for Democratic bills that Reagan, while he did sign them, he didn’t ask for them. As I recall, Reagan didn’t care shit for AIDS until his pal Rock Hudson died.
