POLITICAL THREAD

This is just incorrect. What if someone develops a disease such as cancer or diabetes based on their life choices? Is that still a medical issue? I'll answer that for you, yes. Yes it is. That's why people go to the hospital for chemo treatment, etc.

I am not talking about drug addicts that inflict harm on others or steal from other people. If you are caught committing a crime that effects someone else's well-being or personal property, you should go to jail. Period.

I am talking about locking people up because solely because they have a crack rock or a small bag of heroin. That's insane to me.

Lastly, if prisons can't, won't or shouldn't rehabilitate, then why do WE have such a high recidivism rate? Many other countries have no where near what we have. The solution isn't to just throw up our hands.

It's a medical issue but only after. There's a movement, mainly on the left, that attempts to absolve the addict of any personal responsibility. As if they're some helpless bystander.

Same thing if someones poor choices lead to cancer via smoking or diabetes/heart disease via diet. But those afflictions can develop absent poor choices. Addiction cannot.

I think most here agree weed should be decriminalized.

In terms of rehabilitation, much the same where the personal responsibility is ignored. People commit crimes because they choose to. They're the perpetrator, not the victim. Jails are there for both deterrence and rehabilitation. But the inmate must take responsibility and use the resources provided. Most don't.

Countries don’t repeal it because it’s borderline unrepealable.

I’m sure we could just have a good ole fashioned spirited debate down the road! I’m sure no one will make videos of Paul Ryan dumping an elderly trans black womanman in a wheelchair off a cliff or anything.

Good grief.

That looks like CGI a late night TV show used to mock someone who uses their hands too much when they talk.

How the hell has a consultant not shut that shit down?

Levibooty, I'm fairly wealthy, give several thousand a year to charity, etc. Please explain to me how rich people cause poverty. I'm slow, so put it simply into your own words.

Interesting. Lvb still posts & people still read & respond. Who knew?

Just a reminder that Beto raised 80million for a senate campaign. #GRASSROOTS!!!!!

By his billionaire FIL & friends. OK by me, but don't imply he's a big fundraiser on his own.

I was implying he’s anti-grassroots and a big lying phony.

He is in trouble for things long before Trump and was cleared for collusion. Are you really that stupid or are you just drunk as usual?

Who was Manafort's partner in the deal that got him trouble? Dumbplatinum didn't answer the question

Does anything get repealed? With the levimeme argument, income taxes must be popular or something because they never get repealed.

Your right, Venezuela hasn't repealed their healthcare...

Bunch of African countries haven't repealed either...seems like a lot of those same countries need aid though...from America...

Greece...I remember them having some financial issues...

Soviet Russia had a pure centralized and socialist model of healthcare...yeah read up on how that went...

Go ahead and read up on Finland's issues...

Look at the great dental British people get with their health care...hard to get an appointment over there...hmmm wonder why?

I'm not against it, honestly, but I'm waiting for libs to come up with a budget that cuts out 10s of trillions of dollars worth of another spending they like in order to make room...

Also, universal healthcare isn't as easy as signing something into law. We don't have the health infrastructure in place to accept and properly take care of 350 million people flooding in as often as they please for every little thing.

Before healthcare for all, we would have to totally revamp and expand the health field from top to bottom. Would need to push more people into medical school, pharmacy, nursing, physician assistant, research and development, hospital admin...etc...and that would take even more money...

With the media machine behind him, Beto could actually win the Dem nomination. I’d rank it as of now.

1A Kamala
1B Beto
3 Biden

No one else has a chance unless Michelle Obama decided to run.

Remember that time when beta drove drunk. Then crashed. Nearly killed someone and then left the scene of the accident?

When you put it like that, he does sound like a Kennedy.

On the college admissions scandal...why exactly is it a shock and news that rich people give to colleges and then coincidentally enough their kids get accepted to said colleges?

If these people are going to be charged with anything, it should be for overcomplicating something simple!

There are Philanthropy Offices on every campus. Walk in, cut a check and drop off your child's application at the same time.

All this BS about paying some third party fake charity and bogus Crew Team pictures...Jesus H Christ!

So what if rich people are paying for their kids to get in. That's how shit works. What the hell do you think a tuition check is?

I cut a check and my child gets to partake. In the case of some folks, they cut a fairly large check and the difference goes towards paying for others to attend, diversity centers, and courses like "weh weh weh...white people...weh..." and "homos in the bible" or "America Sucks..."

College structure is the liberal wet dream...Rich and working middle-class people get to pay, everyone else gets to play...

Yep. He also culturally appropriates like Liz Warren and he married into wealth like John Kerry. The perfect liberal.
