Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws
SoCal Deek replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So if the Supreme Court ruled that this should be decided by east state’s legislature then why is it still a national issue? Why not take the debate to the streets surrounding your State Capitol? Seems simple enough. -
Rampage….with all due respect, and speaking as an architect….we are NOT the ones who come up with that word. The architects are hired to design what our clients request. As I’m sure you know that these facilities are very expensive. Constructing any venue that’s only used 10 times a year is pretty ridiculous when you stop and think about it. But with regards to Chicago I believe they’re talking about a multi-venue complex, much like SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The Arlington Park site is a former horse race track, just like Hollywood Park was where SoFi currently stands. What most people outside of LA don’t realize is that the SoFi site is also home to The Forum (where the Lakers used to play), and that the new Clippers arena is under construction on the same site. The football stadium itself even includes a second indoor concert venue under the same shared canopy roof. It’s a HUGE multi-use development with shared parking, office buildings and housing. It’s an amazing project! My two cents. Sorry for the lengthy post.

Are we being purposely divided?
SoCal Deek replied to Matt_In_NH's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Yeah but it’s fun to poke the bear! As a Californian, I chuckle at the discussions over election integrity. Not sure if it works the same way elsewhere but we the occasional ballot measure or recall election. To get the item on the November ballot the sponsors must first collect thousands and thousands of signatures on petitions. Volunteers stand out in front of the local grocery stores for weeks collecting signatures. And virtually EVERY time the powers that be scrutinize those signatures and toss out at least 1/3 of them. Every single time. So much so that it’s now common knowledge among those seeking a ballot measure that they need to over-collect by at least 50% just be safe. So…election fraud? You bet there is! -

Now do Hillary. -
Exactly! And more importantly the people who took out those loans wouldn’t be taught the horrible life lesson that their government is really Santa Claus in disguise.

I’m actually going to give a shout out to Tibs here. I appreciate his advocacy for Biden. It’s a much better take than just saying you don’t like the last President. But…I’d like to see Tibs put some meat on the bones of his position. For example, what policies is he most pleased with since Biden took office?

It’s all in good political fun until somebody loses an eye. My recommendation is that BOTH sides pull back a bit before this gets completely out of hand. Unfortunately we’re mired in a game of political chicken right now, and I fear for the worst. -
I’ve said it before. Refinance the interest rate or extend the term of the loan but do not forgive it. Nobody learns anything from this dumb political tactic. (Unless you count that we all learn that we too can be pandered to if we play our cards right.)

Oh come on. YOU really want to leave that one out there? I’d react but it’d be way too easy. 😉 Enjoy your Labor Day Go Bills!

Never liked them all that much…but I saw them play when I was in college.

No worries. It’s two sides of the same coin. I tend to be one that focuses on what happened BEFORE people got to their current circumstances and hopes society would emphasize good decision making. Stay married. Support each other. Raise your children! Avoid debt. Stay home until you get your homework done instead of going to that party. It’s amazing how much difference a few simple but not always the easiest of life choices will change anyones present circumstances.

Biden’s supporters are hopeless. They see the world that they want to see, not the one we’re all actually living in. Ya gotta keep the globalist order going. Sell those bombs! Who cares if a few innocent people have to leave their homes and bury their relatives. It’s all going to better in the distant future. Just trust us. Heck….We haven’t screwed it up since the last war. Can’t see the carnage from their house.

Tell that to the thousands of homeless and dead Ukrainians. Once again…pathetic nonsense from the Biden clan. Nice job Joe!
-
I’m not trying to take away your point of view. It’s a valid one. But, with all due respect, get off your high horse. Donate and volunteer all you want. I certainly do!
-
Tell that to the thousands of homeless and DEAD people of Ukraine. Pathetic!
-
Once again, you want to measure the results. I’m talking about the approach, which your childish responses show you simply don’t understand. But…yes, there were indeed many successes in the four years of Trump. Did Kim continue to fire missiles? Nope! Did Putin invade the Ukraine? Nope! Did the tariffs crush the US economy? Again…nope!
-
Once again, you clearly don’t understand the approach. And I’m guessing you’d rather put your money on a failed politician who’s run the entire country into the ground. To each his own I guess.
-
I’m happy to articulate it. Trump believes in praising his foreign adversaries publicly but dealing with them privately. I believe it’s the same way he deals with business negotiations. You’re free to like a different approach but it’s clear from your stupid memes that you and Tibs don’t even understand it.
-
and this is from someone who just sits there calling everyone a fascist? I realize you don’t like Trump. But…you could spend fifteen minutes trying to understand where he’s coming from. You clearly haven’t!
-
You STILL don’t understand one single thing about him….do you? Simply astonishing!

In America everyone makes their own way in life. Everyone! You simply deal with the circumstances you find yourself in each and every day. Everyone does. In my now well seasoned life I’ve seen this more times than I can count. Less advantaged kids who achieved all sorts of success. Well off kids who fell flat on their face. The key to life is being happy in whatever circumstance you’re in, and then digging into a serious plan to change your circumstance should you want to. This is still America. Compared to everywhere else that’s ever existed, it makes little difference who your parents are, or where you come from.

How much did you pay for gas and groceries today?
SoCal Deek replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
We actually thought Brad Pitt was hilarious….in a weird way.
