Any claim to love America or respect its founding documents went out the window when the extremist irregular army of President Trump smashed their way into the Capitol building to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power to the lawfully elected president and threaten the lives of elected...

Slow news day?

I just want whatever conversation we're having to stop being dominated by those willing to yell the loudest and make the most insane allegations. There is absolutely no evidence that such stunts help children in any way, no matter how good they may make people look in the eyes of their...

If it please the court, let me introduce into evidence exhibit #695,412 of Trumpists trying to make Trump out to be Jesus in one way or another. Gross. Stop abusing the scriptures in service of your political messiah.

Lord have mercy! From what little I've seen, it seems like this is permanent, insofar as the people who have been interviewed often repeat something about the security situation having deteriorated past the point of feeling like they would be safe to return even when/if open hostilities are...

I would imagine he probably has a certain kind of parent in mind when he says things like this. If you've worked in education (as I have in the past, and I suppose technically do now, though in a different capacity that doesn't put me in front of parents anymore, thank the good Lord), you know...

You are making public statements on this forum that are demonstrably false. It is not somehow out of line that the responses to them be public.

I'm sorry, I was going by the meaning of the word "history" that is common in everyday use by laypeople (a chronological record of events, as per, e.g., the first definition in the AHD), not some sort of special meaning that you've decided that the word takes on when it's followed by "of...

It's not about satisfying me; it's about not just saying how things seem to be to you as though they are facts because you agree with yourself. If you can research these things and come up with the same results as anyone else does (as is apparently the case here), then that ought to have a...

These 'exceptions' apparently happen enough that legislation went into effect to deal with the lack of oversight of armed private security in California, the state with the largest number of armed guards in the country, in 2016, which is long before the present wave of smash-and-grab retail...

That's patently untrue. It took literally less than a second to find the following via Google in response to searching "Armed guards shoot" (not even "Armed guards murder" or anything more inflammatory like that). This was from April of this year. Fatal shooting by security guard at San...

I guess this is what I get for not using the /s tag to indicate I was not being serious. The answer to insecurity is not weaponization, unless perhaps you're in a literal war situation, e.g., the precarious security of Christian and other minorities (e.g., Yazidis) in places like Iraq, where...

Ah...that must explain why it's still around today, then.

It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Oh, if only they had had armed guards at the temple, then that Jesus guy wouldn't have gotten away with knocking over all the tables of the fine, upstanding money-changers who were just engaging in commerce! :rolleyes:

Is this the thread where were pretend like the majority of the top 10 worst cities in the United States for violent crime aren't in Republican-dominated states like Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana? Or that American society itself is collapsing because stupid teenagers are doing stupid teenager...

Kids listen to classical music now? Man...I guess everyone is right: this influence upon children has to stop! They're growing up too fast! Other generic Lovejoying!

Indeed it would be, but you'd have to be able to clearly tie that together. It's not enough to say "Hunter complained about having to share his 'Chinese' money with his dad/give him some of it to help with house repairs" if there are in fact other reasons why Hunter would have been paid by a...

I don't see why it's in the American public's interest to know that Hunter Biden complained about having to help pay for some kind of work on his dad's house, whether such payment came from his 'Chinese' earnings or not. Actual bribery would be for favors in business or something similar like...

I'd be lying if I said I liked her (though the fact that I am just slightly too young to have witnessed her heyday in the 1970s, but not at all too young to have witnessed her decline certainly colors that), but if nothing else she was a very strong and resilient political figure. May she rest...

He's Australian. They don't have presidents. They have the guy who floats in the pond in an inner tube while drinking a Fosters, Andy.
