Your right, it's hard to be objective sometimes when you're personally affected. It was a bit much like the length of my sentence was.

I voted for prez and like three other things. I didn’t give a rip about the rest. Was my ballot shady?

Disagree. The Trump tax cut wouldn’t have happened under a Democrat president. I ended up with about $80/mo extra in my pocket. Not life changing at all but certainly a positive impact. Also, keep an eye on gas prices.

It is a shame that they are on their way to the highest office and America should not be celebrating.

Tens of thousands of families were torn apart in their attempt to satisfy the private prison industry complex.

Generations of children grew up fatherless because of either their inept or inhumane policies they both wrote and enforced.

Shame on anyone who supports these domestic terrorists.

Sadly people support either, they're both apart of them "democratic top club", yet their supporters think they'll fight for them, but if you look at their pasts you will find out they won't.

In an age when the internet has led to rampant misuse of our freedom of speech, there should be a universal rating system implemented where each individual person can review the public opinions of each other a la google/yelp reviews.

Instead of firing "Bob" from his office job or revoking his 1st amendment rights for his unsavory takes, we should be able to give him a comprehensive 1-star review to his public record for spreading idiocy and misinformation on FB.

We have fact checkers. You're talking about everyday people, not Presidents.

Interesting.

We don't want freedom of speech to get in the way of freedom of speech, so let's stop free speech from evaluating free speech.

If I think about it any longer, my head might explode.

Idk. You seem to think that saying China has a semi-similar policy is a valid argument against an idea.

In case you haven't seen this. What a mess. This is the conference that Fox cut away from right at the start because once again they had no evidence.

The Biden presidency will be off to a good start if the 90% vaccine is truly that and already in the process of distribution. The economy will ramp up in a big way if things get back to some semblance of normal.

The TCJA was a typical smoke and mirrors political move which did nothing except give a short term benefit at the expense of raising the national debt. When it expires in 2025 it's just going to be someone else's problem to deal with because taxes will be be back to pre-TCJA levels and that's before accounting for inflation. If you look at it more than just a short term diversion, which it is, it's not good.

It's not a bad idea because China does it. It's a bad idea because it's a bad idea that, thankfully, will never happen.
