Also, we act as if the earth's ecosystem is fragile and delicate; it is not. If something gets out of balance, the ecosystem will react and balance itself out. We have seen time and again doomsday predictions about climate change, because scientists take one variable and predict how it will play out, but assume no counterbalancing reaction in our ecosystem.

Agree wholeheartedly with this paragraph.

We even saw recent evidence of how quickly certain “toxins” dissipated during the early phases of the lockdown in March/April when car and air travel was drastically reduced.

Yes, cars, planes and trains emit things that can pollute the environment, but don’t underestimate the environment’s natural ability to remove these “toxins”.

Liberal states are killing the employment numbers.
 
Look at Ivanka. Look at Hunter. Now you tell who you're going to pay $700K.


What’s so stupid with that tweet is that he pays that to her in salary, and then she pays taxes on it.

The Treasury gets its bite whether it comes from him or comes from her.

Libs expose their ignorances every time they make an attack like this.

Conservatives are for protecting the environment.

However, they don’t believe the earth is our “mother”, which is where the libs go so wrong.

Liberals don’t value man. They value “nature“, and attempt to browbeat society into believing that we must protect the earth and the animals, or else the earth will get mad at us and destroy us through storms, earthquakes, etc.

It’s insane.

We should not intentionally or recklessly abuse the earth, or animals.

However, God created the earth and its resources for man to utilize.

Man has a conscience and free will. The earth and the animals do not.
This rather stupid. Man has free will but woman does not! The Nazis were very utilitarian! This is ignorance steeped in stupid and sweeten with vanity! LOL Actually people, intelligent people are trying to help others understand that actions have consequences. That the continued dumping of trash, garbage, and toxins has an effect over time, that freedom does not exist for those whose bodies are not their domain. I know some who are poorly educated still try to explain the world with their mystical views, try to deny science and empirical evidence, but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to ignore the reality around us just to assuage their fragile egos and lust for authority.
 
Voted (correctly) in the old Barvarian Brewery building today. Interestingly to me, they printed the ballot on the spot after determining (electronically) which ballot I got. With Kenton County's 83 or whatever different cities, our design was #56.

Previously when voting was only on election day at precinct, ballots were preprinted by the state in Frankfort such that they had to guess how many of each they needed. I recall as a worker one time being about to run out mid-afternoon & needing to have county clerk get more printed in Frankfort & rushed to us by state police.
 
Oh the irony in "Happy Days" and the life portrayed then verses now and what he and those that he supports want to do to this country.
It is going to be interesting to see how he has adapted Hillbilly Elegy. From the trailer it looks like it mostly is about the addiction of his mother. I bet he does not cover much of the socio economic issues of the book.

I think after President Trump win's this election I may get behind Ted Cruz as he seems nearly the only one that is even a pimple on President Trump's backside as to the shrewdness needed to fight this swamp sludge.). Sure would like Mike Pence to be the number two again! (Just thinking out loud.)(If the Lord doesn't take me home.) It is early and am again, just thinking out loud...
 
You typing out that statement in response to what I wrote is evidence that you are unstable.
I have absolutely no knowledge of his background, age, etc., but he reminds me so much of my father-in-law. He is 91 and was taught that FDR saved the economy and the world and that government exists to fix problems and serve people. He was fully brainwashed in FDR's New Deal and Johnson's Great Society and facts that dispute those beliefs are never recognized. I've tried to get him to read Roosevelt's Folly and studies done by economists, such as Friedman, that shows FDR's policies actually prolonged the great depression, but it is without success. He is just a product of the time he lived through and the education he received and nothing can change his mind. Nothing can replace what he has already been told in his younger days. Perhaps he personally benefited from the New Deal at some point, so his assumption is that Government actually fixed unemployment because they fixed his unemployment. I really don't know. Levi reminds me so much of him that I believe they are products of a similar upbringing. I would also guess they are within 10 years of each other in age. Even though I occasionally respond to Levi to point out something completely stupid that he says, I have learned from my experiences with my father-in-law that, in some cases, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

You might be right, but I think Levi is closer to 19 than he is 91. JMHO
 
If for no other reason this is why our home supports Trump. He will stand up and tell the truth about criminals in politics and their brothers in arms, the media. I know of no other president that would do that.

But Trump is not a politician and is not in bed with lobbyist
Your an idiot if you think Trump is not a politician and not In bed with lobbyists. Almost everyone he appoints is a former lobbyist and everyone he fires becomes a lobbyist. He just skipped the step of making the lobby's beg him for policy and put them in charge of the policy.

Remember my Mom telling once (she's gone now but would be mid-90s) how almost everyone had a picture/portrait in their homes back in the 30s, 40s. Not their house in that they were Republican but they were in the minority.

Maybe kind of like those that have been duped by Andy through his daily tv show. I knew it was possible to do with some, but I never knew it was so easy to brainwash such a significant percentage of the population.
 
and systemic white supremacy. We must address this issue as a community and make sure that all voices are heard on the way to the promised land


Just read this in a separate thread and thought I would bring it here too. If that's a no-no, you all let me know.
Anyway I think too many twinkies and spoon-fed malarkey might more likely be the problem.

When I was in H.S. shop, etc wasn't required, but it was there if you wanted to take it. H.S. schools around here now I don't think even offer it anymore. Now there are Vocational Schools for high schoolers. Only Jr and Sr year, but a good alternative if a kid isn't into the whole H.S. thing. Not into history, algebra, etc and has no interest in going to college. Go to a trade school...take something you're interested in...then there are companies (big and small) who then 'recruit' the graduating Seniors for jobs. So many of them start off at a good paying job at the age of 18. Fast forward 4-5 years, moneywise (savings, investment hopefully, maybe a house), no student debt....they're light years ahead of most college graduates (with student loans)....especially those who have a degree in Philosophy or The Arts, etc.
My plumber drives a $100,000 Audi. Plus he has a fleet of trucks for his business. And a building with equipment, supplies, etc. He has a high school diploma and could buy and sell every school teacher in the county.

Plumbers earn every dime they charge
