    Trump 47

    Trump will not be able to fire Noem, Bondi, or Lutnick over incompetence or scandals (I suppose if bulletproof evidence could be found but that almost does not exist in the misinformation age). He chose them for loyalty not competence. If they remain loyal, he won't get rid of them. If he...

    Philosophy & Religion Thread

    Well, I am the last one to speak for them (Although I spent almost a year in South Dakota with almost everyone I knew thinking I was a Mormon except the Mormons, talk about social isolation).... anyway.... I would say that this post might not make them the happiest: But, again, I don't think...

    Funny Political Memes

    Yep, when they started with banning food dyes, real sugar in coke, and beef tallow fries as their metabolic health achievements I knew we were in trouble. But, much of the public likes that as there is perceived benefit with no effort involved .

    Funny Political Memes

    The sad thing is they did have an opportunity to to some real good. If they would have harped on the metabolic diseases issues and that the answer is real foods and exercise/activity not more medications they could have helped. Instead, they cut off scientists, put in a bunch of quacks, and...

    Philosophy & Religion Thread

    Honestly, and I hope this isn't offensive, I'm always fascinated when people of faith in a religion, no matter which one, that makes no objective sense to people who are not of that religion discuss the errors and strange beliefs of other religions. And, yes, by nature of my personal...

    Trump 47

    One of the media should do a comparison of the rate of crime in people that have received a Trump pardon vs the rate of crime in immigrants who Trump claims are committing so much crime.

    Should there be billionaires?

    The other option would be to look at what we have done to decrease the share of compensation that goes to labor and see what can be done to correct it (you know, MAGA) instead of saying "sorry about your luck, why don't you just work 65 hours a week so they can have more jets instead of seeing...

    Should there be billionaires?

    I could almost agree with you in a utopia type setting but we aren't that. What strikes me is that you are saying that the worker and the company (or employer) are on equal footing in the eyes of the government and can negotiate this wage and whatever it turns out to be is two consenting...

    Should there be billionaires?

    I'm not confused. Look back at the posts. I am the one that brought it up and said we are $38 T in debt. The fact that you want to talk only deficit doesn't change the reality of the debt we have and that is what was brought up. And you act like deficit and debt are completely unrelated...
