Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
Gas was a lot cheaper under Donald, but it was because no one was driving, they were paying people to take the oil. That would have been an amazing investment if I had anywhere to keep the oil, which was part of the conditions. Now, if we're going to give Donald credit for low gas prices, then we al...

Re: Tennessee VW voted UAW YES! by 3-1 margin.
Pay between most union and non-union auto manufacturers is roughly the same, within a few dollars. (can be location dependent). The difference is in benefits and pension. Those are good under UAW, certainly better than somewhere like Tesla. I'm not sure why it is that so many Americans are against f...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
Building materials were absurdly expensive in 2020. I was trying to do renovations at the time. It was awful. Donald didn't cause it though. COVID did. COVID was responsible for worldwide inflation in 2021, Biden didn't cause it. You really ought to learn that there is a world outside of the US. Inf...

Re: Presidential ranking
Once again I remind that things happen in the world that do not involve the USA. Putin's intentions for Ukraine go back a long time. The invasion was going to happen regardless of who was in the White House. If anything, it's more likely that the invasion may have occurred sooner with Donald in char...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
No one likes paying taxes. Given the choice, we'd choose the "not pay taxes". However, we recognize the necessity of taxes, and why government needs the money. It would be fantastic if roads didn't cost money. Glen, more than anyone, should appreciate not just that roads exist, but how. It...

Re: Mass Shootings/Gun Control Reform Thread
Background checks on all sales? Waiting periods? Making it a crime to sell to people who shouldn't have guns? It's might just be crazy enough to work! Although, being able to drive a short distance to circumvent those rules might be an issue. And none of it takes away anyone's right to own a gun. Ex...

Profits need to be maximized. Employees are expected to produce results. Employees aren't given the proper tools to complete the jobs, and they know if they complain then management will just find someone else who won't complain, to do the job. Unions can make this more difficult of course, but when...

Re: Presidential ranking
The USSR wasn't more about leadership seeing that the path they were on wasn't conducive to long term stability or success. They recognized that changes needed to be made. Military spending was out of control, so they decided to claw it back lest it lead on unwieldy debt. Of course, a crime boss and...

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.

If you don't believe that Donald's words, even if they're not his own, pose a threat then I'm not sure you understand MAGA. Is the thought here that MAGA are rational human beings, not prone to acting out? I would like to see someone make that case. You could try Googling MAGA and violence and, well...

Donald is absolutely a danger to others. There likely would be no gag order if it weren't the case. Specifically, a gag order against those who are not witnesses in the case.

Iran attacked US bases while Donald was in charge, any notion that they wouldn't have done what they did if he was president, is laughable.

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war
Reports say that Iran has launched drones against Israel. It is also reported that they will take hours to get to Israel. This is according to the IDF. I've not seen any corroboration. Given my limited war knowledge, I'm not entirely sure how effective it will be, if your weapons take hours to reach...
