Where is MLK when we need him? I'm sure he wouldn't approve of Black people being prejudiced bigots anymore than white people being prejudices bigots, I don't think that any of us should judge others based on their skin color. That goes both ways. Somebody needs to write a book called, "What's...

I guess that's what happens when you have a crazy, autocrat in charge, which also explains why Putin wants Trump to become president again. Trump worships him and the party of thugs is becoming more and more like Trump. And, to think there was a time when Russia was on the verge of becoming...

I don't know if this deserves its own thread, but it does seem to fit in this thread, so I'm sharing an article that was on WaPo today. I encourage you all to read the entire thing, since it's not behind a paywall and it has a lot of information in it. https://wapo.st/3vMlQ39 Anyone have an...

One thing that I really love about Biden is his sense of humor and the fact that he can laugh at himself, unlike the idiot who wants to destroy the county, loves Putin, hates Muslims and will seek revenge on anyone whoever criticizes him or even jokes about him. Biden has even added some of that...

I went to bed before I could respond to this post, but have you noticed that Biden has at least temporarily stopped Bibi from responding to Iran and he has also told him that the US will not help him attack Iran? Now Hezbollah and the IDF are exchanging fire along the border of Lebanon. Is that...

The Republican dominated Congress in Georgia is still investigating Willis and trying to get her off of the case. They know that she's good and they also know that it will be close to impossible to get anyone else to take the case, primarily due to the threats they will receive from Trump and...

No, I haven't personally lost a family member to murder but I don't agree that a murder usually punches a hole in an entire community. For example, in 2023, 1232 people were killed by police in the US, and 18,874 Americans were killed by gun violence and 36, 357 were injured by guns violence and...

I recall some celebrities who said that we needed to let Trump win to help make the Democratic Party more progressive, because that would teach the rest of the Dems a lesson. When I watched that, all I could think was that those people are fucking nuts. But, sure enough they got their way. I...

I don't hate the foolish people who refuse to vote for Biden, I just think they are making a big mistake and are helping a man who will try to destroy democracy, and likely cause chaos, should he become president again. If he wins, women's rights will be attacked, not just gay and trans rights...

Did you ever see the film, I mentioned earlier, Glenn Garry Glen Ross? It has some of my favorite stars in it, including Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glengarry_Glen_Ross_%28film%29

I forgot to add that Morgan Freeman is a terrific actor, especially in "Shawshank Redemption", one of the best dramas made in my life time.

Australia fines people who don't vote and although the fine isn't usually that large, their voting rate is something like 97 or 98%. Our rate is pitiful by comparison. Anyone who doesn't vote in the US is a fool imo. If you must look at it like voting for the lesser of two evils, fine. I...

True, but my fairly wealthy bro in law said he voted for Trump "because he put more money in my pocket". So, there are some people who think elected officials represent their best interests, but most of them are probably wealthy. I'm sure you all noticed that the billionaires who once criticized...

Sorry, but I disagree. I think it's insane to object to Biden, when Trump would probably literally help wipe out Gaza. I've watched enough protests and anger directed at Biden as if he's literally in Gaza killing people. Sorry, but I'm sick of that BS. I protested the Viet Nam War when I was...

I've read similar things, especially that more MDs are in favor of UHC. The number one reason I've read is because corporate health care is working their asses off, making them see an insanely high number of patients in a day, leaving them with very little time to do an adequate job of...
