Yet I doubt Biden voted for Trump. The Democrat Biden administration would have known plenty of evidence available and been in the perfect position to have looked carefully into the Epstein scandal had there been the incentive to do so. But neither party gives one shit about investigating...

The real question is what will happen to the Epstein debacle after the mid-term take over of the Democrats. An outcome that will determine whether the Democrats control Congress, or enough of it, that Trump’s presidency is at an end. After the Democrats have control I predict absolutely...

I would not expect this. Because in France the government has always been fearful of the people. In the US the people are afraid of their government. Just look at how the J-6ers were persecuted.

No, I want you to come up with a better law than NY already has. And you can not do it. Because at the end of the day this woman will have no legal case because she was drunk and had sex. You don't like it and want to call it rape. Fine, then come up with a better law that works with...

You can't. But in Bill Cosby's case the substance abuse itself was done without consent and that makes what he did predatory and completely different. Do you think the law should also forbid people from sex if someone is clearly under the influence of alcohol or other substances? That...

I was responding to the argument that voting no longer matters in the US. Our political system has been captured by powerful interests meaning that the majority of the people are not represented. Ill try to look into Howard Zinn's book, thanks for sharing.

They did not really go under. They just assumed new ownership and made other people (like Warren Buffet) extremely even more rich than he is already.

If what you say is true, what steps have the Democrats you are defending enacted making certain such a banking failure would not happen again? I guess I never heard that Glass Steagall had been enacted again. I would think the Democrats of all people would be worried to death about how bad...

Those are all very important. But voting blue or red will make very little difference to any of them.

I voted for Obama (D) so lets talk about how he improved our lives in the US and the way he bailed out the banks in 2008. The banks made all these bets they couldn't pay off so they were all going to go insolvent. But our government under Obama came in and made them whole. The government...

The conservatives are generally for law and order which is mostly what we have today. Prisoners are forced to serve society in jail to pay their debt to society. Kill them if the crime was bad enough. The liberals are generally for compassion and rehabilitation of the criminal. Some...

We have already lost our democracy to big interests. Does not matter if your candidate is blue or red they are not going to represent you. That is not to say this can not be fixed peacefully....but voting isn't going to get the job done anymore. It makes absolutely no difference whether you...

Well they probably shouldn't be using lethal injection to do it anyway. Or perhaps Tennessee should find a Canadian doctor to do the lethal execution since they do it all the time for ending the life of a patient in Canada. Our problem in the US is that our ethical doctors having the skill...

I agree with you here Laughing Dog goes too far. Although for the most part I also agree with those who want to abolish the death penalty. And just being against the death penalty does not or should not mean you are for murder or other bad capital type of crimes. Abolishing the death penalty...
