I agree with you on that.

I've never seen someone so quick to try and stir the pot to cause controversy.

It is not necessary to pick a side. I'm not gay so I have no idea why people are, so who am I to speak out against something I don't understand? Over the years I have hired and became very good friends with gay men and women. None of them were mentally ill. ALL OF THEM added value to the business. I think the problem is trying to force people to believe in something they either don't understand or don't agree with. Calling them "homophobic" is not going to change their minds, and will only make them pick a side......which is counter productive. A business that sells to the public is making a horrible decision getting in the middle of cancel culture politics........ How about we live and let live.......

The mods get to address that, not you. I've raised it to the mods

This conversation is getting out of hand. If you can't refrain from name calling and personal attacks, don't post

No, warned and message deleted

Are you speaking of folks on this forum?

When did Trump get convicted of rape?

Better polling data IMO [Hidden Content]

I think the basis of our disagreement is the understanding of our justice system. Before Trump, guilt had to be proved, not innocence........ Would you provide the "law" you keep mentioning concerning the proper way to declassify documents. If it is a law, it should also have punishments listed as well.

It's I've

The American bar Association disagrees with you...... Most national security legal experts dismissed the former president’s suggestion that he could declassify documents simply by thinking about it. But as an ABA Legal Fact Check posted Oct. 17 explains, legal guidelines support his contention that presidents have broad authority to formally declassify most documents that are not statutorily protected, while they are in office. As the new ABA Legal Fact Check notes, the extent of a president’s legal authority to unilaterally declassify materials — without following formal procedures — has yet to be challenged in court. I am smart enough to research what I talk about [Hidden Content] the U.S. Constitution%2C the,through use of executive orders.

This has yet to be proven. The procedures are not laws, so if not followed how are they crimes? If the constitution gives the President the single power to declassify anything with no instructions, why can't he declassify just by taking them home? Trump will take this all the way to the Supreme Court.......The Supreme Court rules on constitutionality.......

As usual a very productive comment to the benefit of the page Does the personal jabs make up for something missing in your life?

I've been following this guy and he makes a lot of sense. I've noticed journalist don't interview their guest anymore, they debate them, and he is, BY FAR the best debater I have seen in a long time. I think his numbers will increase during the debates if he can get on any. Thoughts? [Hidden Content]

I actually liked him pre-2016. He made some sense. I watched a little of his town hall on CNN (amazing the difference of how he was treated versus Trump, Cooper let him speak)....I agreed with a lot of what he said. His Trump bashing is not going to get him the nomination....He's smart and should know it.

This one is messed up - sad

We are a representative democracy, not a mob. The electoral collage was to avoid mob rule and have each state fairly represented. If Presidents won on popular votes, why would they go to small states to campaign when all they had to do was win 3-4 large states? The system is working like it was designed.

His statement about the indictment of Trump just ended his run before it started......No one will win the Republican nomination without Trumps base.....the math just does not work......

Dude, first it's 2016.....Popular vote has no bearing......but if you want to discuss it, He lost the total popular vote by 2.8 million in 2016......but he lost Cali by 4.2 million and New York by 1.8 million. That is why we have the Electoral college, so 1 or 2 states don't decide the President for all 50 states.......What you should pay attention to is Hillary only won 17 states......... Something else odd...in 2020 he gained 2 million votes in Cali versus 2016.....but again, popular vote means nothing....and I'm glad

Yea.....I'm not mad for sure. You think Abbott will have any luck getting property tax lowered?

Sounds like it to me...... I'm still paying the $7.50, except now, no service is provided

If we are being honest, I don't wear my life jacket 100% of the time in either of my boats personally, and I know I should at minimum under way, but anyone under the age of 18 does in my boats. What I find incredibly odd is the life jacket regulations. When you get stopped they ask to see life jackets, sure let me get them, they are under the deck, and the deck is locked, let me get my key, here ya go! Game Warden, thank you......about the same with every safety device. I do keep my life jackets out in case I do need them.

This teen (14 yo) has not been found and the search continues as far as I know. As a Father I cannot imagine what the parents are going through.... For the rest of us, this is a slap in the face reminder to be safe on the water. I was able to drive a 12' boat with a 5.5 Johnson by myself, unsupervised at 10 years old.....but Dad had been training me since I was 5. The most enforced rule was never step in that boat without my life jacket on. If I left it in the boat for some reason, I was wading in the water to get the life jacket out of the boat. He caught me in that boat without a life jacket, I was done for the summer. Train your kids to wear that life jacket at a minimum of when the boat is under power. I hate reading these type post.

She stands for the Anthem now.....lol
