    I don't accept child gladiator fights, unless they get to kill their own molesters, or the people who murdered their family member, or the people who sold the heroin their loved one OD'd on, or stole their grandma's life savings.

    It is also incredibly bad at helping people become law-abiding.

    About 75% of all criminals in the US prison system are nonviolent.

    We can and should do far FAR better

    Reddit will now warn or ban you for liking things they decide are “violent content”. For example, agreeing with Luigi.

    MAGA world unhappy because extreme right Stepford wife Amy Coney Barrett has a few times shown independence. They complain she is obviously a DEI hire because she's a woman. The men Trump appointed never rule against him!

    Newsmax host berated viewers upset price of eggs and other food has not gone down, in fact, has gone up. Trump isn't a wizard! He can't magically lower prices!

    Except he campaigned on lowering prices on day one "so fast your head will spin".

    Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post editorial endorsing Kamala Harris. He censors editorial content. He paid $40 million for film on Melania no one is interested in. Now Prime Video is running old episodes of the Apprentice. No groveling is too abusing for Bezos.

    Trump was a joke. A punchline. The epitome of failure, bankruptcy after bankruptcy, constant business failures, unsuccessful lawsuits. The Apprentice gave him a camera and a script. He presented to the world as successful businessman and great deal maker. Also good guy.

    Makes as much sense as seriously thinking Catriona Balfe is a time traveler because she plays one on TV.

    Utah is a Republican state with very successful mail in voting. So naturally they decided to eliminate it.

    Arkansas saw successful citizen initiatives. Response is to make putting citizen initiatives on the ballot impossible.

    Unfortunately, if the citizens of these two states do not fight back, then they get what they deserve. Though it sounds like that is already happening........

    Trump's former spiritual advisor, who sponsored round table on "restoring America's greatness" indicted for sexual abuse of a child. He blamed the then 12 year old girl.

    Saw Chuck Schumer interview. He argued government shutdown would enable Musk to do anything. He already is. Schumer might mean well but he is wrong.

    It's a shit sandwich either way. Not sure there is a right answer.
    Shutting down the government just gets President Musk to his end goal faster, and also allows Musk to avoid the blame for doing it.

    Because the majority of Democrats are spineless cowards who don't mean anything they say. That's why they can't be trusted. As I've said before, the elites don't have a political party. Trump used to run in Democrat circles and not a peep about him being a bad guy. Now that he's on the other side he's suddenly Hitler?

    Gtfo.
