I agree!! We absolutely need to fund other countries! Invest in foreign soil, not our own! You’re onto something, my friend.
20 Ba Ba Ba Billion to Argentina 🇦🇷 Make Argentina Great Again. 😂🤣🤪
This looks fun. Trump 2028!
Despite the ragingly insane rhetoric, there will be no Trump 2028 campaign. It is kind of fun to fan the flames of ignorance and watch them dance though. But, not gonna happen.

I only said it because Pete quote/replied to it and then four hours later, unprompted, without any further interaction at all, quote/replied a second time. He double dipped.

Same as some of the books put in school lib.
"Woke" tax.

Odd to see "woke" described as a form of egalitarianism. Observation has led me to believe that it is a virulent form of elitism wherein one either conforms to the new "woke" interpretation of reality, or one is ostracized from the elite "woke" social construct. Just my opinion, but that's how it seems, to me.

^^ Won't load up.^^
I believe that initially the term was supposed to promote an egalitarian recognition of the continuing racial disparity that many believe still exists today. Much of the perceived disparity seems to be self-generating and self gratifying in some circles. People who never experienced the reality nevertheless wish to pose as social justice warriors, continuing to fight battles that were won long ago, before they were born. Narcissistic, to say the least.
Meanwhile, many have accepted that it's all just out there, waiting for anyone willing to put forth the effort, the hard work needed to create a better environment for oneself.
The "Woke", on the other hand, seem to cling to the battle cry of "Give me a fish! Or we'll cut you out of acceptable society!", rather than accept the opportunity to learn fishing skills that are right there on their doorstep.
@silvermouse Edward, the author is a public safety correspondent and only presented his “opinion” of one side. Is this reporting representative of factual and fair representation or just another cog in the wheel opinion??
It is labelled "opinion".Agreeing or disagreeing with it is up to the reader's level of cognitive bias, insight, and values.
I see I'm getting flagged a lot. Must mean I'm winning.
Stupid. There's a disagree button if you feel the need.
