jakelafort replied to the topic Biden should pardon Trump in the forum Politics 4 years, 9 months ago
Unseen, good point!
I don’t mean it in an intellectual sense. I mean that going after Trump for business shit is a pussy democrat kind of move. It is time to confront the entire movement. Who is gonna emerge when the dust clears? (today i was pondering how often i in particular and all of us in general use metaphors)

My feeling is that the criminal investigation of Trump’s business and business practices ought to be ended. Nothing about a crooked businessman will resonate with his supporters. Every other prominent business person cheats.
Treason is front and center. Our democracy and way of life is at stake. And it may not be Trump who is the next dictator.…[Read more]

Cool tat.
Nice talking piece…and not bad way to start a conversation with a lady. If she says who is Goya then ya know she is probably not educated. The rest is up to you.

Enco, Can you feel the tyranny?

Where does one begin when discussing the lessons?
For one it is the old oppressed become the oppressors when they have freedom/power. Blacks having autonomy in Africa have proven to be as vicious as Whites. I am sure many would say the same about Jews in Israel. It is a pattern observed in Revolutions. And since Puritans specifically and all…[Read more]

Autumn, i was tongue in cheek. But you have hit on a big issue.
I was miserable and depressed working as an attorney. I began to question how sensible it was to stay the course. Finally in my misery i missed a statute of limitations. When i finally decided to check whether suit could be filed i told my legal assistant that if i blew the statute…[Read more]

It is rather disingenuous to suggest a genuine concern for welfare of children who are stuck at home and thus incapable of sufficient social and educational development. We all know the real reason parents want kids back in school is schools are tantamount to day care. Schools being in loco parentis saves sanity and money of parents and gives them…[Read more]

I have a hunch that long term and too late there will be a world shift against current animal husbandry in favor of lab grown meat. If so it will be self-interest that is the impetus. We as a species don’t even care about genocides. No way as a species we care about other animals.
Good anecdote about…[Read more]

The polarization and extremism in USA from both sides diminishes any semblance of integrity/authenticity.
I don’t know stats but i would be surprised if there are not way more independents for next election.
