  1. https://news.yahoo.com/publix-grocery-heiress-top-funder-165825190.html Ok I know Trump is over but this story is interesting. I get why a wealthy person would vote for Trump because, generally, when you are worth a certain amount that is the most important thing to you and you will vote in your interest to keep every penny even though you'll be insanely rich in any scenario. I also understand, though misguided, why someone who is poor or whose life feels unfullfilled or not how they planned it to be a Trump enthusist to a point of joining a cult like this. I dont understand how someone so wealthy would feel the need to give money to a cult. Is paying your employees a couple more bucks an hour that big a deal? Its kinda bewildering
  2. Honestly Kelly is very talented and I think she started out as a nice, funny person. However, she's a big brand and you dont get two big deals with a network like NBC with out having a little bit of ice and "idgaf" in your veins.
  3. I'd rather just get everyone vaccinated asap. Problem is getting everything organized to do so We dont want every vulnerable person to get it because deaths will sky rocket.
  4. That's the thing people dont get. Im not for lockdowns or anything like that but this isnt just a cold. Its an actual disease with possible long term reprecussions https://health.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-information/covid-19-long-haulers.html https://www.geisinger.org/health-and-wellness/wellness-articles/2020/12/08/17/12/i-have-post-covid-myocarditis
  5. To play devil's advocate I do worry about kids in school. We dont know what the long term ramifications of the virus are. Remember the case of the basketball player that got covid, returned and collapsed on the court We adults have a choice on how much we want to risk and they dont. I'm excited that we're hosting the super bowl with 30% capacity. We'll see if this is a trainwreck lol
  6. Interesting because I believe the Super bowl is on CBS this year.
  7. Regardless of what you think about the nature of executive orders themselves what do you think of Biden's orders? I think its a mixed bag but overal pretty good.t I can get behind rejoining the Paris climate agreement, ending the keystone pipeline (because it wasnt our land to build on) and a path to citizenship for undocumented young people. Not so sure about ending the "Muslim ban". I think we do see evidence from Europe is many people who come from these countries have values at odds with ours.
  8. I appreciate him not escalating war as much as Obama in the middle east. That said all his lies, his lack of care with the pandemic and lack of him addressing structural issues in our country make him not worth it as president and possibly the worst president in my lifetime I do not give him credit for what conservatives tend to credit him with. For instance, conservatives credit him with keeping unemployment low pre covid and lowering minority un employment but that was already going down before Obama left he just had to not screw it up
  9. Off topic but looks like a couple people here are too crazy for even Alex Jones now. Congrats!
  10. Its bout the money and power. Twitter has a lot more and can afford to get away with it
  11. Maybe its not actually free speech Parler cares about..Seems they didnt care to moderate their own users https://abcnews.go.com/Business/amazon-reveals-violent-content-death-threats-led-parlers/story?id=75221495 https://www.geekwire.com/2021/amazon-responds-parlers-lawsuit-calls-meritless-cites-content-advocating-violence/
  12. From what i see here, in order for any possibility the Senate would have to vote by 2/3 to remove Trump and then a second vote would be taken and half would have to vote to bar him from future office https://abc7.com/can-an-impeached-president-win-a-second-term-in-2024-if-trump-resigns-he-run-again-25th-amendment-was/9568187/ Neither a second House impeachment nor even a Senate vote to convict Trump and remove him from office would prevent him from running again, in 2024 or beyond.Rather, after two-thirds of senators present voted to remove Trump, a simple majority of senators present would have to approve an additional vote to bar him from the presidency in the future.The Senate could not skip the conviction-and-removal vote that requires two-thirds of senators and go straight to the simple-majority vote for future disqualification, Ross Garber, an impeachment and political investigations lawyer who teaches at Tulane Law School, told CNN.
  13. Maybe I'm ignorant but can we properly say Trump incited the riots? From what I've seen he said conservatives need to "fight to keep their country" He didnt literally say to go raid capitol hill and kill Pence and Pelosi Now do I think Trump feels bad that it happened? Nah he's a clinical narc and this brings him glory. Narcs especially crave negative attention. But I dont think you can solely blame this on him. Its just that a lot of his supporters are unintelligent and in a cult and unintelligent cult members do crazy things.
  14. Disgusting. Something needs to be done with all these righty nut jobs in this country. Maybe bring Islamic law in just to use on criminal cases involving them? https://globalnews.ca/news/7568670/manatee-donald-trump-florida/
  15. I just scrolled through Biden's twitter the last 3 days and see nothing divisive from him (or more likely whoever tweets for him)
  16. Now that I think of it though. These big tech companies are defintely in politicians back pocket so them censoring some but not others does cause an issue.
  17. That's fair. I dont use Twitter and dont post often on FB so I dont really know about what far left or far right groups are out there posting and what they advocate for. I suppose if you ban Trump you have to ban Antifa members
  18. I'm prepared to get roasted but constitutionally, free speech means government cant curb deny, or punish you for free speech. It doesnt mean that private companies have to allow you a platform. I actually think Im consistent with this too as I've always been of the mind that a bakery shouldnt have to be forced to make you a wedding cake. Its kinda crappy in both scenarios but yeah...
  19. These riots have nothing to do with quality of life suffering for Americans or systemic American problems though These are little b--- fits because someone idolized a human being too much and cant let go. Middle school behavior. No empathy from me.
  20. Guess Blue Lives Don't matter anymore.
  21. I dont think its crazy to believe that she would black list those that didnt vote for her re-election.
  22. This video came across my reccomended in Youtube. I wanted to comment on something like this before it gets spread I'm not even in the sciences but I know a physician can never say "If you do X you will NOT get sick". A doctor can never speak in 100% terms about health because nothing is ever CERTAIN. Something fishy
