A black Supreme Court justice just swore in a female Supreme Court justice. And the only people who are unhappy about it are Democrats.

After reading the Hornblower series about the 1700's I had a thought. We could get rid of a lot of disagreements if we brought back dueling.
I once made a comment that we could cure a lot of the disrespect and things if everyone wore guns. That way, when someone's being rude and obnoxious, they'd be taught a lesson.
In which some a$$hole replied they'd never wear a gun.
Well, that would suck for you then.

That wouldn't make any sense; Canada is already what the US would be under Biden, maybe worse.

And it's good to remind myself that "the media" isn't some nebulous force that exists for good or for evil, but rather is the active arm and presence of the ideologue owners of those media companies. It isn't only that the reporters and journalists and editors etc. that are overarchingly left-leaning, it's the people who own those businesses that drive their message. And it's that message that gives their existence meaning.
Can I ask a question? Why are so many of you consuming the media that you complain about? Especially the televised crap. You all know it's biased, so why pay attention to it? There are smaller news outlets that will actually provide independent coverage. They're harder to find, but they exist, and they aren't on cable. The problem with them is that half the time it's going to make you angry when it criticizes something about your party. Like if there's people out there who think CNN or Fox News is unbiased then that's a different problem. You all know that those channels are meant to entertain though. Yet every day there's stuff on here about "the media". We still have free press (for now), you don't have to watch the state tv channels unless you enjoy being angered or pandered to. Just my thoughts.

I don't watch much of it, just enough to see how they're twisting things or selectively reporting. My main concern is seeing how their fake/biased stuff has such a big impact on the people who swallow the poison.
The majority of the population suffer from TLTR, they are intellectually lazy. A quick emotional hit, preferably loaded with schadenfreude, suffices. Social media like Twitter, opinion shows masquerading as news like Hannity, or Madow gives them the feeling that they are well informed without having to work hard.

The problem is that there are millions of people out there being bombarded by leftist propaganda from most every media outlet. If one only watches TV then that person's mind is only being influenced by one side. The old saying "tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth".

How many people decide who to vote for because of political ads? I can think of a lot of good used for the money spent:
Spending on races for president, the Senate and the House of Representatives will add up to $14 billion this year — double the amount of four years ago.

Just wasted money. Do you think they care? I would say 90% or more of the ads are nothing but disinformation. Instead of stimulus they are out doing fund raisers and $5000+ dinners to raise their coffers.
Lindsey Graham begging for money on TV night and night out is pathetic. Hopefully S.C. voters will be saying goodbye Felicia come Tuesday.
I have yet to see a Politician standing in line at a food bank to get there next meal like so many that have had their lives turned upside down because of the Pandemic.
Politicians have failed to do their job and help those that are in dire need. We are reaching a tipping point and the economic impact will be felt for years to come. They could give a fuuck less. All they care about now is your vote.
I wish every politician was voted out of office. They have all failed. Many of them have forgotten that they serve the people not the corporations, institutions and special interest groups etc.

Greatest thing about technology is not having to watch commercial, don't remember the last one I watched for anything. Everything in this country is political and you only have two choice for voting on anything. I'd like to see 7-9 effective political parties, that would require compromise and a more effective government.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
The way the rules are written we can only replace about 60% of the goverment at each election. Allows for some continuity, I s'pose.
If you think of government as a glass full of cesspit water (not a hard stretch) and you replace 60 % of that with fresh water, are you drinkin' it? If voting really mattered, we wouldn't be allowed to.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
I love when people say "if you don't like their policies, vote them out". I would love to, however if they are unopposed, or the other option is a known criminal, (same as the currant) what do you do. This is the Illinois way, and it is no accident or coincidence. Same thing with the president, look who "they" roll out for us. Well said Rodney.

Not sure the media has thought this through though. If Trump loses, at least 50% of their news material is gone

Ranked choice voting solves the problem of 3rd-party candidates being 'spoilers'. It is on the Massachusetts ballot this year. I hope it passes.
