  1. The problem with student loans has always been the high interest rates. Making the minimum payment like a credit card will cost you a lot more. It's not like a 5 year car loan when you see the total interest cost upfront.
  2. I agree with Texas, keep sending migrants to NYC till Congress and the WH wakes up.
  3. Presidential centers from Hoover to Bush and Obama unite to warn of fragile state of US democracy WASHINGTON (AP) — Concern for U.S. democracy amid deep national polarization has prompted the entities supporting 13 presidential libraries dating back to Herbert Hoover to call for a recommitment to the country's bedrock principles, including the rule of law and respecting a diversity of beliefs. https://apnews.com/article/united-states-democracy-presidents-threats-joint-statement-5530a89df2c41d58a22961f63fb0e6ff
  4. nonsense ☝️ Putin propaganda
  5. If they wanted the US military could seal the southern border completely till they figure this out.
  6. Putin has to be stopped just like Hitler had to be stopped . Both guilty of crimes against humanity , war criminals.
  7. So Congress and the Courts have to demand laws be enforced , checks and balances.
  8. If Hunter gets a lot of prison time I would think Joe pardons him even if it cost him the election . jmo
  9. So you are saying it isn't with appeals . Again what better system do you propose for the US.
  10. Congress controls immigration that the WH has to approve. So they have to pick up the full cost.
  11. I wonder if Obama has a defamation case , is it his word against another without proof ?
  12. In this country people vote for their elected officials , juries are regular citizens, what other system do you prefer ?
  13. It still takes a unanimous jury to convict in a criminal case. I bet there will be a number of Republican jurors in the Georgia case.
  14. Georgia trial for 19 estimated to take 4-8 months with 150 witnesses. Imagine the legal bills these people face.
  15. At least Trump would never ever lie 🤣
  16. ALF lives 18 miles from Buffalo in the most gerrymandered republican districts of all NYS . As a result of redistricting after the 2020 U.S. Census, Representative Claudia Tenney now has the honor of serving New York’s 24th Congressional district in the 118th Congress. Our sprawling district includes parts of 12 counties, spanning from the North Country, through Central New York, the Finger Lakes Region, and Western New York.
  17. Florida judge rules DeSantis’ redistricting map unconstitutional over impact on Black voters Central to the case is former U.S. Rep. Al Lawson, D-Fla., whose district splintered under the new map. The lawmaker, who is black, had previously enjoyed support from a wide base of Black voters in the district, but he lost his race by 20 points under the new map. Republicans in the Florida legislature had previously introduced a redistricting map that likely would have allowed Lawson to win re-election, but the DeSantis administration put forward its own version of the map and vowed to veto any other. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-judge-rules-desantis-redistricting-map-unconstitutional-impact-black-voters
  18. Professors at Northeastern and Harvard universities conducted a gun survey in 2015 and found that 22% of gun owners who reported obtaining their most recent firearm within the previous two years reported doing so without a background check. For firearms purchased privately, including sales between individuals in person, online or at gun shows, 50% were obtained without a background check. Gun shows can include either licensed dealers or private sellers. So at a gun show, the licensed sellers need to run a background check on buyers, and the non-licensed sellers don’t. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2021/04/09/gun-policy-address-joe-biden-exaggerates-background-check-gun-show/7156770002/ Unregulated gun shows can be a magnet for gun traffickers to obtain large quantities of weapons without any background checks. Guns purchased at gun shows are much more likely to be used in criminal activity. https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-laws/policy-areas/gun-sales/gun-shows/ Up to 80% of firearms used for criminal purposes were obtained from unlicensed sources, meaning no background check was required. This proposed rule will help address this dangerous problem and greatly expand background checks. https://giffords.org/press-release/2023/08/giffords-applauds-atf-rule-to-expand-background-checks/
  19.

  20. Should all car insurance payers pay for KIA and Hyundai thefts and damage ? Crime committed with stolen cars
