“I’ll take the self made billionaire over…” Maybe should look at how and where he made his money, compare and contrast with the words he speaks on the campaign. In other words he’s completely full of shit and I wouldn’t want him anywhere near the White House. For what it’s worth as it is right now, out of all presented options Haley would be my choice.

The Noles are putting up a major statement regarding the committee’s decision.

Depends on one’s views.

Agree to disagree on the first line. I do agree it will hurt her, so in that sense you are correct maybe ‘not a nothing burger’. By that, I meant people are going to make a big meatball out of nothing. Again, she talked about a bigger issue that slavery was very much a big part of. If people want to say that is ‘omitting slavery’, I say that is a word picking because we want to get some juice on someone. Which….is politics in America.

Nothing burger. She didn’t ‘omit slavery’ as a lot of the headlines read. She spoke to a bigger picture of issues, of which yes slavery was a big part of. But she didn’t in anyway imply slavery wasn’t a cause. People just scrounging…

Please tell us when the last time what you described happened….all votes were cast and counted in one day? And more important than what year of that election, but what was the population and voter turnout number for that election. I’ll wait for the answer to that before addressing the “it shouldn’t be that hard”

Can get with that. And if one of them goes away, the storyline for the other goes with him.

I agree with most of what you said, except that 1) he is not Alex Jones. AJ is far, far worse. I would say JR presents “different ideas” whereas AJ flat out lies. 2) The idea he has some sort of responsibility to the masses. He is nothing more and never has been anything more than an entertainer, nor has he ever claimed to be more than an entertainer. Other people’s ignorance is not on him, individual responsibility and all…

Heard this on talk sports radio earlier today and thought it would be good here: What’s the one story line from 2023 you’d most like to see go away early in 2024?

That was a lot to get off your chest

So emotional

Military age and taxes wasn’t the relation I was making.

Are you willing to raise the military age, age to which you start paying taxes, etc up along with raising the age to vote? If not, that seems to lend more toward “my wishes” than “individual rights”.

Good with 2,3, and 4 5 is never gonna happen. In a perfect world would love for every person that gains citizenship to become proficient in reading and writing English…but never gonna happen. 1- I don’t understand the obsession with every single vote across the country must be cast and counted in a 24 hour period. Especially if we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote and we want to ensure the vote be as accurate as possible. (Enter all the experts coming in to school me on how easy it is to administer an election)

However you celebrate the holidays, I hope your friends and family are all enjoying the season. Merry Christmas….Happy New Year!

Well…attempted at least.

Here we go again. It’s terrible what they are doing to him.

That’s a whole lot, but something we agree on. SS is not something I have factored in one iota in regards to retirement. It’s just something that’s not in my control and I gave up on bothering with it. Whatever my benefit when the time comes, money for toys and travel.

I am not scolding you. And my question is, what does all of that have to do with a law enforcement officer taking an patch, entering into an agreement, accepting his compensation for that agreement, and then at the most critical juncture of his obligation in that agreement, making the decision not to? None of what you said has anything to do with that officer making a decision not to fulfill his duty. Nor does all of that answer: for what purpose was that trained law enforcement officer issued a firearm?

The position is literally, specifically, for the protection of the school and its people. I’m sure that exact question with those exact worlds were not asked…but, are you serious? For what purpose would that trained law enforcement officer be issued a firearm??

To answer your question as I have stated this was act of a coward. No I have not risked my life with the added element of having to take someone else’s. I have risked to save children (run into a fire) But neither your nor my examples relate here, as I have not contracted and received compensation for the specific purpose of protecting those children, nor am I a trained police officer. Entering into something that you knew involved inherent risk, which in this case up to and includes loss of life, and you accept your end of that agreement, but at the most critical time you back away from the primary function you are there for……I mean, that’s not at all a similar question to what you are asking.

How did home invasion get involved in a topic about a law enforcement officer who contracted and accepted compensation to protect children at a school?

I wasn’t saying that is happening, my comment is more general in nature. But…to answer your question, the compromise in the popular vote is that it is decided by the majority. It’s only “me against the metros” if you want to make it that way.

And therefore, sacrifice and compromise are necessary, if we want to maintain a functioning and civil society. In other words, everything can’t always be what I think is absolute best for me.
