They’re banking on people spending more than they have, putting them in debt to banks (which they want) so they can own you more. They want you right on the edge so you are never able to achieve true freedom from under their thumb.

Bush’s fault, got it.

She’s bad, not decent, nowhere near perfect.

Trump is bad for gun owners too, it’s a shame America has two god awful choices.

Red flag laws break due process, universal background checks are in place, assault weapons bans are literally gun grabbing

While true, it has already begun. I had someone send me the Israel clips earlier, and another send me the dog eating clips. I think she got good sound bites, but in the end it might not have the desired affect.

If only she did not have a long and documented history of supporting much more than this, weapons bans, mandatory buyback programs. Just because she is feeding us the slop now does not change the fact I can watch the video where she said she wants to have a buyback program.

Didn’t say I liked Trump either. Both are going to be gun grabbers in one way or another, except one of them will hopefully follor the process and get stricken down in the courts.

That’s a fair assessment, she wanted to play both sides and ended up worse because of it.

I’m really going against the grain from lemmy. Trump certainly did not win, but Harris lost.

Trump performed as expected, rambled and lied, but we can all be honest in saying this affected his polling very little. I think the best (or worst depending on who you are voting for) case scenario is if this dog / goose thing ends up being true and Trump can ride that wave of calling every other correction false and in control of his enemies (before anyone says it, I refuse to believe the word of one politician over another, I want hard proof it is happening or hard proof it is not).

Kamala lost though. Trump got her a few times especially at the beginning. She also most definitely fucked herself over shilling for Israel and oil / fracking. She is definitely pushing the young vote away and into the green party territory which will impact her where it counts. She also brought up her gun ownership and how she will not go after firearms, but she has claimed in the past to support “assault weapons” bans and madatory buyback programs.

Best case scenario, this debate had 0 influence, worst case, slight increase to Trump depending on the next few days. The biggest loser of tonight? The American People for having to choose between these two.

If only this was really true. She owns a handgun, but supports an “assault weapons” ban, and supports mandatory gun buybacks. Which is literally coming for your gun and preventing people from buying new ones.

Best case scenario is she does nothing or expands background checks, the rest will hopefully be stopped by the supreme court and local police refusing to follow unconstitutional orders.

I think his crimes hold a maximum of 4 years in prison. But not a single person charged for them the first time has gotten prison time and usually get probabtion and a fine.

Capital Gains tax will impact the middle class more than the rich. Poor to middle class people sell stocks, rich people take loans out against their assets, which isn’t taxed at nearly the same rate, interest is paid to banks, not the government, and no assets are ever sold.

Reconstruction did funny stuff and the mindsets at the time were different. The entire idea of the civil war centered around if we had a federal or confederated government. The confederate argument was states had to ratify the constitution, so therefore they could deratify and break away. Looking back this is obviously wrong, but a large minority of people believed this at the time, including the 15th President I believe. On the other hand, since Lee surrendered unconditionally, the thought process was you don’t kick the man while he’s down. Plus many men in the Union still considered Lee a heroic American figure. Not imprisoning him most likely led to an easier surrender by the rest of the Confederate forces and less paramilitary actions. Reconstruction further limited the punishment of top officials which was a mistake, though there was 0 chance they could end the thoughts and ideals that led to jim crow and the kkk, they could have certainly limited it.

No just Memphis, and it’s an institution!

Barron is too busy at summer tryouts for the Lakers, his other sons are running his businesses into the ground, and his daughter would project weekness, so no use having them up there.

Currently seeing it happen, buddies who had overlooked issues in the past have started to look at him negatively. Before it was “he has always treated us right.” Now they might write in Rand Paul.

Nope, i want a system that removes ethnicities entirely. Ideally race is replaced with economic status, which will still advantage black students the most.

The pool of candidates are not equal. There are less black candidates overall. Less black candidates made it in because they were less competitive students overall. Less aps, lower gpa, less extra curriculars, lower test scores, etc. If you want to improve the black student population, you need to offer and encourage and offer more of these then complain by the time it’s too late.
