The governments easy strategy of cutting programs blatantly ignores the difficult logistics of getting necessary services delivered to every citizen.

If Trump can't bring the two political extremes together here in this country, what credibility will he have trying to negotiate true piece in other countries?

Ripping the public school system apart without having a meassurably better replacement rather than better funding what exists is idiotic & not the kind of thinking we need replicated in chartered schools.

Though I applaud Trump's efforts to bring an end to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he has failed to end the US government shutdown. Trump must insist that both parties continue to negotiate.

So, doctors must be prescribing statins w/o knowing if they are safe? Maybe they should proscribe them until there is full transparency re the sources?

The GOP is using their extreme 2nd amendment interpretation in the way they handle vaccines - everyone should be free to have or not have guns (vaccines) without any care for society as a whole.

Ah, we need to let the actual evidence sink in, not the political obfuscation.

The deployment of the national guard to cities where crime has been decreasing for 30 years pulls workers from their jobs adding unnecessary stress to families.

There hasn't been a civilized halftime program in years, only a pandering to the dumb & dumber crowd.

Geez. So irresponsible. Whoever authorized that stunt needs a psych eval.

It would see wise for all countries to refuse to recognize any changes to UN recognized borders created by unprovoked aggression, as no one will recognize the unilaterally changed name for the Gulf of Mexico.

It seems Trump was again misled by FoxNews "non-journalists" as they "entertained" their viewers with fake news.

Why? The land doesn't belong to Russia.

Amazing. How is it possible for rallies in support of the American constitution be considered as "hate America rallies"?

It's rather amazing how much trouble a human can get into when half of each day is spent sleeping, preparing & enjoying food & drink, pursuing bathroom requirements, and traveling to destinations.

One would think ICE agents would be rounding up this group within the next 24 hours.

Why was Orbison's Sept 10th post considered "condoning violence" yet Kirk's remark re the 2023 Covenant school shooting was not? Her's was satirical. He said his was rational & prudent. Huh?

What "evidence" could possibly come to light in a two week shut down? Such "logic" could be recklessly applied in many situations.

Maybe, in the beginning, "God" created dinosaurs, then changed her mind.

If Marx had lived in 2025 he may have said religion is the Rohypnol of the masses.

Why won't Johnson make a deal on healthcare now? Most Americans want it protected? Why wait? What's being covered up?

Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Henry Kissinger, & LΓͺ Đức Thọ were initially praised internationally & received the nobel peace prize, but were later condemned. Will Machado follow the same fate? Trump?

Regarding these government cuts, why do we really need the ditto-man, Vance?

13.10.2025 12:53 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Vance hasn't said if the cuts were in their plans whether or not the shutdown ended.

13.10.2025 12:51 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The administration can end the shutdown by voting to keep healthcare solvent. Their promise to discuss it later begs the question
