  1. So a handfull of crazies believe the emergency system test

    On Oct 4th  on tv,radio,and phones will trigger a response

    from  anyone who took the shot. Why are major media 

    outlets not ignoring this. Maybe a half percent of people

    Believe this nonsense. And you can't change their mind,

    so why bother? Don't label it misinformation. It's crazy talk.

    Just be blunt and move on.

    I understand a lot of what you're saying, and agree with some of it. What I'll never understand is electing a man that we know will immediately set out to obliterate our democracy, and assign himself dictator? Even if he would abdicate power after 4 years (which he'd never do in a million years), he was a shitty President who did nothing but further line the pockets of himself and his cronies. Drain the swamp? The swamp engulfed everything. His stance on Covid was absolutely abysmal, and borderline criminal. This fucktard tried and tried and kept on trying to steal our right to a fair election and he belongs in prison!

    That's my fucking rant!

    Not to worry. I'm not a fan. But a lot of current policies aren't working.

    30-50% higher prices are tough to handle,especially when retired.

    I guess me and the cat will be splitting the cat food.

  3. 1. Honest gun control. Not everybody should own a gun.

    2. Congress to pass abortion  laws. Spell out limits and exceptions.

    3. Term limits

    4. Limit the ability of government employees becoming lobbyists.

    Also some limits on who they go to work for. Example- former

    Head of cybersecurity now working for Chinese telecom firm known

    For hacking.

    5. Roll back many of the extreme government powers created under

    the patriot act.

    6  Set nationwide standards for education. Dumbing down requirements

    helps no one. 

    7. Roll back someone the extreme mandatory sentencing guidelines of the 90's.

    8. Decriminalize pot. But regulate it. Not good for minors. Good for PTSD and

    some mental issues like extreme stress,etc.

    9. Reign in some district attorneys on catch and release. Prosecute, but

    allow the convicted to get help to change their behaviors. If they don't,

    off to prison they go.

    10. We aren't the leaders of the free world. Put away the soap box and 

    deal with the reality of things. 99% of everything we try to improve we

    F up. If you can't fix Memphis, (example) you can fix a country thousands of

    miles away.

    11. Stop drugging school kids. All those ADA kids of the 90's turned into the

    addicts of today. I saw too many of my son's friends go down this path.

    12.  Control spending.  A broke government can help no one. Yes, debt matters.

    That's some big issues for me. I'm sure at least a couple will piss off someone  

    here. I'm old and miserable. Sorry for the rant. I'll go back to yelling at the TV set.

  4. I have big issues with both parties. Reasonable abortion rules are fine. Banning it

    Or allowing full term  abortions are both the wrong answer. I don't see democrats

    in big cities fixing problems. And jailing people isn't productive.  Neither is letting

    them go after committing crimes. It feeds the cycle. How about using the courts to 

    force people into changing their behavior? The police are neither the solution or

    the problem. Is Russia bad? Yes. But what about us? Look at the 14 trillion dollar

    path of destruction we carved across the middle east and  Africa. We  even

    sponsored a coup d atat of a democraticly elected government in Egypt. 

    The 1950's are over. It time we look inward and fix problems. Not react

    to symptoms .

    I myself am pretty happy with what Biden has accomplished. And I'm absolutely ecstatic to have a human being with a moral code and empathy for others back in the Whitehouse. I'm looking forward to 4 more years of Biden.

    I wasn't aware Washington politicians  had a moral code. Not since Carter, anyway.

    They are all about spending too much money. Either funding war and death, or

    spreading it out like a drunken sailor on shore leave. I have been waiting for 

    someone to show up who would change priorities. Homeless people need help,

    Not tents. I was forced into treatment 42 years ago and have been clean and

    sober since. Letting them slowly kill themselves is heartbreaking.

    It just cracks me up that this Big Mac eating, toupee looking, bleached hair, Orange skinned tub-O-lard, thinks he's Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    He can however find his way on and off stage!

    Seriously though, maybe they should dump all the candidates and start over.

    Another Trump vs Biden sounds way too much like that Southpark episode

    Giant douche  vs turd sandwich.

    There is a backyard battle at the wife's hummingbird feeder.

    A pair of hummingbirds have been hanging around on a nearby

    branch and drive off other (larger) hummingbirds. Last year

    It was a all out war for the birdseed by cardinals.

  8. Crucible of hell.

    Details the invasion of Okinawa.  Lot's of detail from people that were

    there on both sides. One of the worst battles of the war. 

    I was stationed in Okinowa for a year in the mid 70's.  It was an eye

    opening experience for a 19 year old from a rural area of Iowa.
