I wish people felt badly for the evil they do, looked in the mirror, and felt guilt and shame. They don't. They're sociopaths who feel nothing unless it affects them. They breeze through life without a care. Our society is infamous for rewarding bad behavior. The whole 2008 thing comes to mind.

Everything is being put on video by many people. They can try and escalate to violence, but people don't have to respond with violence. It's an ugly picture when a fully outfitted militarized goon hurts, beats, or injures an unresistant person. There's more places to air video than mainstream media.

I was sad to see the writer of the blog passed.

It's the event. Lots of young white men and insecure incels watching other grown men beat the crap out of each other. Living vicariously through sanctioned violence.

I'm also a blue dot in Georgia, MTG territory, and have a 89 year old mom who relies on SS and Medicare. I take care of her, I'm 63 and on SS. Managed to work and drag my broken carcass to 62 so I could retire. We would both be in trouble if they get their way.

I worked in a grocery store years ago and convinced the assistant store manager that the man stealing baby Tylenol didn't need to be arrested. That we should buy it for him and send him home to his sick child. I absolutely could not have lived with myself otherwise.

It's heartbreaking. That poor woman and her traumatized daughter. Imagine for 1 min it's your mother in the seat of that car. How do those agents live with that? I'm depressed we have so many people willing to inflict misery for a paycheck.

Another billionaire using their money to hurt a tiny group of vulnerable people. They could leave a legacy of kindness and compassion. Change multitudes of lives for the better, but instead choose cruelty. What is wrong with these people?

She's kind of cemented her position as a loathsome turd of a human being without this. I don't know if it's real or not, but the fact that it seems plausible seems pretty bad.

I'm sorry for your situation. I gave birth at 14 nearly 50 years. Giving my child away is the most painful thing I've ever done. I've never gotten over it. Honestly, it stays with me and causes me more emotional pain than the death of my father, who I loved very much.

You voted. This is about non-voters and third-party protest voters. I'm not sure what they're angry about. They got exactly what they wanted, a Trump presidency. Good for them.

You voted for Trump and got what you wanted, Harris lost. Why so upset? You made the calculation that Trump would be better for the Palestinians and our country. I didn't vote for this, so I got nothing I wanted. So, not lucky me.

Not voting was a win handed to Trump. So, if you didn't vote, you are getting exactly what you didn't vote for. You got the Trump victory. Give yourself a big old pat on the back. BTW, that victory you got, kids still being slaughtered?

Yay, you won. Congratulations on your victory and everything that comes with it.

I don't know why they think that they and their families will somehow escape the effects of bird flu if it makes its way into the human population.

Offering something and delivering it are two different things. There seems to be a catch in their solution.They're offering all that largesse at the expense of women and minorities. Rather than lift themselves up, it seems their success can only be achieved by pushing others down, especially women.

The unbridled capitalism Republicans love so much is what's causing U.S. citizens health issues. The everyday stress of trying to get by on less and less, no healthcare, no vacation, and if you do get sick, no sick time. The pressures are relentless and making us sicker.

Teachers don't set policy, and you're wrong. That's why you're "done with it." Studies continue to show teachers still defer to boys, praise them more than girls, tolerate bad behaviors they don't in girls. They let them speak longer and interrupt girls when they're speaking. You are wrong.

Who are the administrators? Who in charge at the district level, state level? I'll bet you'll find it's almost all men despite all the women in teaching positions. 72% of school superintendents are male. More than half of school board members are male. The people setting policy are male.

They stuffed a few more dollars in their pockets, that mother is dead, and that child will never know it's mother as a result. Who are these people? Evil doesn't even begin to describe this.

I'm talking about the system you're railing against. The system men created. If there's a problem, men are the cause and solution. It seems if they can't keep their elevated position over women, they can't cope. Men being forced to let deserving women have a place at the table isn't the problem.

I meant by age group as a demographic. I didn't mean every demographic breakdown you could have. You're right, as a percentage of the total of women over 65, they voted Harris at a much higher percentage. They did in every age group.
comment in response to
post
In a system they created,they can't figure out how to tend to themselves? What are females getting that men didn't already have? What are these structural advantages? Why don't men create their own support outside the red pill idiots.Why are they struggling in a still extremely patriarchal society?

The words cost-effective in this situation fills me with a rage I can't explain.
comment in response to

Older women, 65 and over, were the highest percentage of Harris voters as a demographic. Taking any group and applying behaviors or attributes based on their inclusion in that group makes you a bigot by definition, btw.

It's pretty sad that at this point, it's almost believable. It wouldn't be put of character.

It's going to increase our costs and isn't enough to bring production back. It's a way of moving us towards a consumption tax. It's the same scenario with the UK deal.
