@GOP_is_Gutless Disagree. Do not make a burden into a different burden. Open work camps. Someone commits a financial, non-violent crime is sentenced to a dollar amount. At the work camp they do whatever society needs, at minimum wage, until they h
meet their amount owed plus living expenses.
@ggreenwald Are you ignorant or intentionally lying? The argument was against forced speech not denial of service. Making someone create a specific item that expresses support is forced speech. Serving a person the same thing every one else is served is something different entirely.
@erichhartmann It's funny they hit corporations before foreign entities. I would support a complete ban on any non-US citizen or entity purchasing any US real estate.
@omgsidewalks Iโll NEVER understand how so many of yโall were hoodwinked into the belief that the government should be allowed to seize your labor and give it to others.
@EstelCooper 7) Yes, and politicians
8) This would require stripping funding from large urban schools and giving it to suburban and rural ones
9) 100%
10) No subsidies to corporations, period
11) Equal rights yes, pay is based on value
12) Owners decide what leaders are paid, not government
@EstelCooper 1) Depends on the work
2) They aren't
3) Agreed, but not a liberal position, e.g. Obamacare and Covid vaccine
4) It is, but costs money, otherwise it requires slavery
5) We shouldn't force people to accept a certain way of life
6) No child should fear being shot... anywhere
@MarkMadDogDavis Reading through the comments, I do not see you engaging in any actual conversation discussing the merits of your perspective only sophmoric quips and name calling. That is a great reason not to vote for someone.
@mhdksafa Fixing your slight of hand... I have no issue with legal immigrants only immigrants who break our laws to get here, just as I believe other criminals have consequences for their crimes. Our tax code is broken but as long as someone files legally I have no issue with them.
๐จIn Louisiana, 54-year-old Glenn Sullivan Sr. was sentenced to 50 years in prison and court-ordered surgical castration after pleading guilty to repeatedly raping a 14-year-old girl, resulting in her pregnancy.
Judge William Dykes ordered the physical removal of his testicles as part of the plea agreement under Louisianaโs tough new laws targeting child sex offenders. Sullivan chose surgery over additional prison time.
This marks one of the first instances of court-mandated surgical castration in the state for such horrific crimes.
Strong penalties like this send a clear message that child predators will face real consequences.
Do you support this?
@amylcris I support your point but would point out thats 20k per year. A part time, 30 hr per week job, at 15 per hour would mostly cover this. I paid for my bachelor's in cash as I went, worked FT and school FT. No parties, no Frats, just grinding. Made it much more valuable to me.
I may piss a few of you off by posting this. We can handle it one of two ways: discuss it like adults or you can unfriend me. Your choice. You have your opinion and I have mine. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I add that my ancestors were here, LONG before the Anglos!!
My ancestors, learned the language and worked and never once did I hear any of them trash America. They became citizens, were proud to be one and some served in the military! I am nice to everyone and I have no problem with anyone coming here and making a good life for themselves and their family, BUT if you are coming here and expect us to become what you just came from, then thatโs not happening! Return and work on your country and make it better where you can be proud to live in it.
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of AMERICA, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
โIMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.โ
Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language.
Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.
If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our "culture." We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.
But once you are done complaining and whining about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great AMERICAN freedom,
"THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".
If you aren't happy here, then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you.
NOTE:
IF we circulate this among ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree, please SEND THIS ON and as for those who disagree, move to a country that suits you and live there. "
THANK YOU! ๐บ๐ธ

@VivekGRamaswamy Why just "slash" PT rather than "abolish"? How do you cut electric bills while still allowing massive datacenters? Only way to raise school standards is to privatize payment/choice. Human traffickers do not belong in prison, they belong in a grave.
@johncocozza@BasedMikeLee That would be hypocritical when we have similar things happening right here that we have yet to clean up. We need to focus on our own messes before we try to clean up others'.
