    I'll answer from my perspective.  I'm not a Biden loyalist.  He's an average president but has returned decorum and yes, decency to the office.  He';s 100X better than the scumbag.  For now, that's enough.

    Well said.


    If you line up Biden vs Trump and want to compare their character flaws, Trumps list is many times longer.

    I feel he may have a underlying motivation here because he knows he can't win !! I don't exactly know what his motivation is but i bet it has something to do with his dislike of Trump .


    If republicans would nominate Christie, I think he would get a lot of independents and win. I doubt that would happen though. His crazy quotient isn’t high enough to win the primary.

    I agree. Police organizations, like the military, should be apolitical. The pride flag has no place here. Likewise, police agencies and organizations should not officially endorse political candidates or engage in activities that could be perceived as endorsements of political parties.

  4. That organization I was in as a kid has a problem. I guess the right wing oath about God, country and morally straight didn’t apply to the adults.

     

    On my honor, I will do my best 
    To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; 
    To help other people at all times; 
    To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

    Where did she go?
     

    Why did she disappear?

     

    Why didn’t she sue Biden?

     

    Is she too busy on Kremlin owned RT tv or is she on Tucker Carlson promoting RageAgainstTheWarMachine like she was the other night?

  6. Here is something interesting I recently came across re gun violence:
     

      I have been reading and writing about gun violence for more than ten years. I have yet to see how one of the most significant factors that we need to understand about this peculiarly American form of behavior not only remains unstudied by all the public health mavens (read: experts) but isn’t even mentioned by this so-called scholarly community as an issue of concern.

                  What I am referring to is the extraordinary differential between whites and blacks when we look at the numbers for homicides versus suicides committed with a gun. The difference is startling. For whites, the gun-homicide rate in 2021 was 3.05, for blacks it was 28.03. This puts the white gun-homicide in the United States right around Sri Lanka and Turkey, and considering that white Americans own ten times more guns that the residents of either those other countries, the rate of gun homicides suffered by American whites isn’t so bad.

                  On the other hand, the rate of gun homicides experienced by American blacks is up there around countries like Sudan, Guinea, and the Dominican Republic. In 2021, the U.S. gun-homicide rate for blacks between ages 14 and 34 was – ready? – 64.05. The only country which matches that number in the entire world is El Salvador. No other country is even close.

                  Looking at gun suicides, however, gives us a much different view of things.  In 2020, the rate of white gun suicides was 7.84, the black gun suicide rate was 3.95. When it comes to how guns are used in this country for ending a human life, as opposed to using a gun for hunting or sport, whites use guns to shoot themselves, blacks use guns to shoot someone else. In that respect, I’m still waiting for the first researcher to attempt an analysis of the differential between gun homicide and gun suicide using race as the fundamental variable in both types of events.

  7. Man, it has to be so rough trying to be a good conservative. First NASCAR flew the rainbow flag and you can’t watch them anymore. Now ya have to cancel your Disney vacation, you can’t buy your kids toys at Target, ya can’t shop at Kohls, you can’t drink your Buds and now you can’t take the fam out to Friday dinner at good ole Chick-fil-A! They were supposed to be on the Right! Now they went and hired some black guy as VP of diversity and inclusion. Oh, when will the insanity stop?

     The only think cool about Democrats is the wind blowing up their skirts tickling their balls. 

    A little wind feels good sometimes to air them out. My boys gotta breathe.
     

    You guys are all working on your testicle tanning with Tucker. I’ll pass on that one. Wouldn’t want to risk a burn.

    Yup.  They've been told to stand down and stand by.  Not worth risking their health or, more likely, a PR nightmare.

    Stand down and let the shoplifters walk seems to be the standard corporate protocol now. Probably based on recommendations from corporate attorneys wanting to limit liability. Insurance covers lost product. Not worth potential millions in liability from lawsuit due to injured employees or criminal. Seems odd but is understandable.

  10. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2022/midterm-election-house-districts-by-education/

    The last few election cycles have been marked by an increasing divergence in outcomes based on education levels, with Democrats making serious gains with college-educated voters while Republicans win far greater shares of non-college educated white voters.

     

    The educational divide has been building for years but accelerated dramatically during the Trump era. As recently as the 2012 presidential election, for example, college-educated voters were narrowly split, with college-educated white voters favoring GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

     

    But in the 2020 presidential election, Biden won 68 percent of congressional districts where at least 30 percent of adults have a bachelor’s degree. Donald Trump won 64 percent of districts where less than 30 percent are college-educated — and, what’s more, Trump’s showing includes carrying 96 percent of districts that were both below that education threshold and at least 70 percent white.
