That's what AI is for. But seriously, I cannot find a single link to a site that contains factual information. Go figure.

And don't forget Hindus, Vegetarians and Vegans. I would say meathead did a fine job of their bigotry.

The pass rate is pretty high right now.

For any other purpose....professional licensing, etc......if the pass rate were that high, they would absolutely make the test harder.

Definitely the dumbest comment I seen here so far. Eb - this isn't a profession. Have you seen the study guide or the test? I have. If you can't pass it you don't deserve to be a citizen IMHO. I mean what do you want them to know that born and raised Americans would know?

Best SCOTUS money can buy.

Trump is so unbelievably stupid he ran on releasing files he now says are a hoax.
Trumpers should be embarrassed.

I just posted this on another article:

Have you all heard of Dietrich Bonhoeffer? I would hope so at this point. He is the antithesis of our current leadership. (Especially Trump.)

She basically called the defendants stupid. Since when is stupid a defense?

So you think no genocide has gone on by the Russians? I mean it has since day one, plenty of evidence.

Beyond that, why is Russia targeting civilian infrastructure and housing then? Ukraine has shelters and early warning systems that is why more are not getting murdered in cold blood. What do Palestinians have? Nothing. No warning systems at all and Israel literally blowing up every building because the area they are hitting is tiny - a fraction of the size of a city of any size in the US.

Ya, I don't know what I am going to do. I have no use for the "Air" phone. Phones are fine as thin as they are. What I need is a better price. When I saw the new prices my jaw hit the floor. Not only are they making up for tariffs they are doing a whole lot more.

You know, I was just reading about the outburst in the house after Boebert called for a verbal prayer. We could have had a "follow me" moment from Trump that would have been transformational. Something like:

"My Fellow Americans, what happened today is a terrible tragedy. One of many that have occurred. It is time to stop the divisive name-calling and hatred of our fellow Americans. I too have said many things to contribute to this hate, and for that I apologize to you. From this point forward, I will no longer make such statements and will try to unite our great country. Please follow me and condemn all instances of violence and divisive rhetoric."

You know, a leader owning their role in division, choosing repair, and inviting others into unity, that's how emotional contracts get rewritten. Instead, from the right saw the binary reflex: condemn hate, then reinforce it. Call for unity, then label enemies. It's not just a missed opportunity, it's a mirror of how spectacle logic works. We crave sincerity but reward performance. Healing is welcomed only when it doesn't challenge our side.

I am not sorry he is dead but I am sorry it was an assassination. The man epitomized evil IMHO but his death will only worsen the division.

His words "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights," - Charlie Kirk.

What more is there to say? He was okay with gun deaths to protect the radical version of 2A. I am sure he just didn't think it would be him.

I am also pretty sure they are looking to find some patsy, why else not release photos? Conspiracy theory? Sure, but remember the right wing create them and gobble them up. They are also the masters of accusing other of doing what they are in fact doing. Kirk was pushing for the release of Epstein information. Why not a false flag? Create unity in the base again, create more division and take the Epstein heat off TACO doodles Trump... The AIs are really good now and we don't even know what the government AIs are capable of. A few screen grabs? No problem... (Do I actually believe that last bit? I would say no but with this government anything is possible.)

Just came to say thoughts and prayers. He was okay with people dying to preserve 2A as the far right sees it so I am sure he is good with this ending. RIH.

No shocker there at all. Charter schools are a money grab for most. It's amazing how many close every year and then public schools have to absorb the pupils without funding for them.

I am sorry but government funding for Charter schools needs to just go away.

As for religious beliefs, they do believe those, I think. But not genuinely as in they're followers of Christ. They believe them in that they're merely a rationale to allow themselves to believe the facade that they're decent people.

Religion is about power and control. Evidence is everywhere.

Ah! Another minor deity to worship in Catholicism.

2. How can we get them to believe you?

As already stated you can't. My cousin dates a real old timer out in the sticks. They go to a bar in a 4 corners town with a flasher. All his friends are MAGA and he gets into politics with them every single time. He leans left. His biggest question to them - "What has the GOP done for you?"

This was all by design. (Censored) these small farmers. Let them fail and let the mega farms roll in buying the farmland for pennies on the dollar as Trump and co have planned. MAGA just don't get it. MAGA farmers REALLY don't get it. They are pansies. Dems are who actually support farm subsidies. They continually vote against their own interests.

To me this just goes to show the insanity of the cult. There is only one God but they raise random people to the level of minor deities, that are prayed to and people fill their homes and jewelry with icons to. All sanctioned by the church of the one "God". This part of the hypocrisy that was so apparent to me as a teen that I was glad when no longer forced to go to church or catechism.

Wow, this just gets more and more dictatorial. I mean really. Anyone saying this isn't a replay of 1939 Germany needs to have their head examined.

Roving bands of armed men profiling, stopping and arresting anyone they want to and now we can't show boos of der leader.

What the GOP is doing makes me want to vomit. Extremism and corruption make me sick.

I guess it really was his last concert...

Horns and lighters in the Air for the Godfather of Heavy Metal. RIP
