Do You Think People Should Be Scorned For Wearing A Red MAGA Hat?

do you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?

if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

It's a shame that the brilliant, gifted, and beautiful Debra Messing has been vilified because people who can't read misinterpreted what she wrote. She has since made it clear that she simply wants to know who people are so she can hold herself responsible when making educated and informed decisions about who to like and dislike. To suggest that such information would be some sort of sinister list is crazy. If the information is in list form it's just because lists are easy to compile and read.

It's not red MAGA hats. No normal person should wear ANY red hat! Read some of this to get woke:

Trump Derangement Syndrome Is Alive and Well

i was on facebook and a person i have known for a long time posted how trump is mentally ill and is truly a psychopath.

a couple of her friends chimed in when i suggested that perhaps the fb friend was really the psychopath.

a couple of her friends began to defend her but i was surprised by how many people defended the president!

I follow President Trump on Twitter every day. This tells me all I need to know about the man.

I don't look every day, but quite often. The comments are interesting.

I read Melania's Twitter once in a while also. Whatever she tweets, most of the comments are awful. I looked at Melania's account today. She tweeted something about wishing all the returning students a successful year. Most of the comments were disturbingly hateful. Ivanka's twitter feed is the same way.

Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?

by blondie in

i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.

i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.

it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

FYI - what kind of idiot thinks you, your Dodge Durango, and an AR15 is gonna put down the 6ths Armored Division - when the GOP Government you LOVE so much comes to getcha.

Given the the 6th Armored no longer exists, I don't think that would be an issue. If you used the 6th as a substitute for the US military, the Federal government is pretty much prohibited from using the Federal military to enforce domestic law within the United States. Even if the Federal military was used it doesn't mean the military would prevail. North Vietnam did fairly well and they didn't have one Dodge Durango. And the Taliban seems to be holding there own, but they seem more like Toyota people, not Dodge people. The National Guard might be used, but many of the Guard people I know are pretty strong supporters of the 2nd Amendment. I guess it all depends how committed the pro gun people would be to their cause.

I hear gun "lovers" say they would die for the 2nd Amendment ("from my cold, dead hands!). I don't hear many of them say they would kill for the 2nd Amendment. When the gun laws are passed, I don't see a bloody civil war breaking out. Gun ownership as we know it will fade away with barely a whimper.

Jw's mentioned in shows

by days of future passed in

have you ever been watching a show and suddenly, there's a reference to jehovah's witnesses?

i was watching an english mystery show from a while back and the main character hetty, was giving a list of religions that could have drawn off a young girl.

one of the "fringe" groups was tada - jehovah's witnesses.. there is plenty of other more well known clips like snl coneheads being approached by fake jw's.

Just saw one tonight during the American show "The Neighborhood." The character Dave thought it was great that jw's stopped by to talk, but after a while they would say, "Dave, we really have to go."

What’s Your Favorite Breakfast??

friends

to me, breakfast can be served at any time of the day.

a local bar in my area serves breakfast all day long.

for 5 bucks you get 2 eggs any way you like, bacon sausage or ham with home fries and toast!!

frozen2018

If I go out it's bisquits and gravy. The gravy has to have lots of good sausage in it. I don't normally make breakfast if I'm at home unless it's Saturday and the weather is crappy. Then I go for a big bowl of Cap'n Crunch with peanut butter toast while I watch cartoons. It make me feels like a kid again. When I don't want to feel like a kid again, I substitute the Cap'n Crunch with ridiculous amounts of Bailey's Irish Cream and coffee.

There is a point of view that the reason the USA has events like mass shootings is the USA has too much freedom. It does stand to reason that if almost anybody can purchase a firearm, the odds are that occasionally someone with their own agenda will get one, or several, and start shooting people. That "too much freedom" business doesn't apply only to firearms. It also applies to speech, religion, assembly, travel, etc. I do not agree with this point of view.

I do have a point of view regarding firearms (I own several). I"m okay with some firearms being banned as long as that ban applies to everyone, public and private. If I can only have single shot shotguns, bolt action rifles, and revolvers, then those weapons are good enough for government employees at all levels - local, county, state, and federal - including the military. The military could have access to the banned weapons when it is deployed to foreign countries. I know, people will say, "But, but, the government won't be able to protect us unless the government is armed to the teeth" to which I say, "Tough shit!" If people think the government actually protects anyone, you are delusional.

Would You Stop Buying A Product Because of Political Differences?

would you stop buying nike products because you didn’t like their politics?

conversely, would you give business to a company because you liked their political stand on a matter?

would you stop watching an entertainer because you disagree with their political perspectives?

I think these inflated prices in the female category cross over to practically everything.

Men die 5 years younger than women just to balance things out.

What Is Trump Doing with China now and his supporters that smell like a Walmart?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

isn't trump shooting himself in the foot when he is on the verge of (or already in) a trade war with china?

isn't walmart like 95% chinese stuff?.

won't there be a backlash when many of his supporters that want to upgrade to indoor plumbing see how much it costs with all the tariffs?

There is more to this dispute than labor costs. Do American firms have equal access to China's market? Many times, American firms wanting to set up shop in China have to give the Chinese government access to trade secrets. It's alleged that China manipulates its currency value. There is the issue of Chinese firms violating patents and producing counterfeit products. There is the issue of Chinese firms using non-authorized, toxic materials while producing products. The issues are numerous.

Richard Nixon's biggest sin was not Watergate. It was reaching out to and opening China.
