I live in a state, that I love dearly, that has no sales tax.
The property taxes are killing us.
I don't want to stop funding schools & cops and a sales tax right now while prices are so high is a bad idea. I also don't want to see people lose their homes over taxes. This sucks.

We are becoming alone economically & also when it comes to national security.
We have been a member of Five Eyes since the end of WW2.
Now our allies are no longer sharing intel.

Time for all voters to ask themselves who they really are and if they are really ok with blowing up democracy to achieve their ends. The leopard will eat all of their faces if they give billionaires complete control of this country.

For those who sneer when saying 'environmental laws' it is good to keep in mind that it is those laws that keep you and your children from drinking poison and breathing black air with chunks in it.

I don't think putin will agree to a 'decent peace.'
He has shown that negotiating with him is just a stall technique as he continues to bomb civilians.
The EU is going to have to put more skin in the game to help Ukraine achieve a decisive victory.

Good.
Pulling nursing degrees out of that class of jobs is just nuts.
It will cause shortages that will cost lives...I assume that is the point.

There is no case to be had.
Her mortgage docs say she can rent out the house if she needs to.
I saw stats yesterday on failure to get an indictment.
In 2010 it was a .0068 chance.
A prosecutor had more chance of being struck by lightning.

They also need to keep China in mind.
Their deep sea tech is the best in the world.
Blows everyone else's away.

Tax dollars should not be paying for religious schools...any one's religion.

Terrible idea. I heard an economist, I think it was Krugman, say this is the beginning of privatizing SS & Medicare.

A lot of this can be traced back to Reagan closing mental institutions and dumping the patients onto the streets.
My 'christian' fundamentalist BIL would be fine if the homeless were just executed. Personally, I think we can do better than that.

It was all pretty cringe.
Not an ounce of intelligence on that stage.

Plus don eats like crap and has for a very long time.

Not just Facebook.
We have been treated to deliberate corporate disinformation streams by products owned by two foreign born billionaires, Murdoch & Musk. Far too many Americans have fallen for that crap.

He would likely suck Ellison off for some cash.

I watched them destroy a couple of completely fueled ships in russia's shadow fleet on a Ukrainian network on Youtube.
It was clever, the way they did it and awesome to watch.

Melania is likely crushed.

May the hand of destiny wipe them completely off the map.

The need for nurses have been increasing due to the greying of our population. This isn't just nuts, I think it is part of the plan to make sick Americans die faster.

Let's start with George isn't a corrupt, lying pos.

What is going to happen next year when they still don't have people to work their farms or markets to sell their crops in?
December 8, 2025 at 3:32 PM
It has been sounding to me that putin just pushes his people to the line where they are being slaughtered. The next day more are sent.
They are going out in golf carts with no armor instead of tanks.

ICE terrorists don't seem to care about your rights.
