Legal drugs (e.g. over-prescription of opioids) are indeed a problem, but that is not THE problem that is driving Central and South Americans from their homes. Illegal drugs are.

Flyingsaucesir replies on May 3, 2024:

I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm not Jewish, Moslem, or Christian; I'm technically agnostic and functionally atheist. I find the core beliefs of all the Abrahamic religions to be more than a little ridiculous. I consider the fundamentalist extremists on all sides toxic and dangerous. I have no business with Israel, and I don't like Netanyahu or his policies. I'm just an observer of this spectacle. I don't like how Israel has responded to October 7, but I just keep bumping into these facts: Up until the recent ceasefire, Hamas still had two or more brigades in the field, actively fighting Israel. Israel's desire to eliminate that threat once and for all is, if not totally realistic, understandable. The carnage visited on the Palestinian people would end instantly if Hamas were to lay down their arms and release their hostages; Hamas is composed of Palestinian men; these Palestinian men are using their own people as human shields; the civilians being used as human shields do not denounce Hamas; they only blame Israel (and the USA) for the cruel usage by their own fathers, brothers, and sons; the Palestinian position vis-a-vis Israel has not changed since the Idea of partition was first proposed nearly 100 years ago (i.e. that a Jewish state must never exist, that it would represent "nakba" (catastrophe); The partition proposal may not have been perfect, but it seemed fair; the two sides would have gotten roughly equal amounts of land. the Palestinian position is in conflict with a United Nations mandate; the phrase, "from the river to the sea" that we are hearing from protesters today still means what it has always meant: that if they had their way, there would be no state of Israel between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea. I cannot help thinking about how things might have turned out differently if the Palestinians had decided to work within the framework of the United Nations. Instead, they engaged in terrorist attacks, decade after decade. There just isn't any patch of desert in the world that I would bomb a civilian bus over. Especially when it is obvious that such action will achieve nothing regarding the status of that land. Nor would I send missiles into civilian neighborhoods (something both sides have done). The Palestinians have stirred up enough passions to get Israel's neighbors to launch all-out wars against the Jewish state. In no case did the aggressors prevail. Israel ended up with more territory than before. Many Palestinians fled the scene. I'm not sure Israel is obligated to relinquish the land they gained or allow the Palestinians who left to return. The conflict has spilled over into many other countries, and has fueled radical Islam world-wide. It is indeed a catastrophe, and both ...

"Retrogrades" is very good term for them. If you drill down into what they think, you will find a distorted vision of America that is full of made-up shit about the founders' intention that this be a Christian nation, and Christian ideology including some made-up shit about a fertilized human egg cell being a person, and a cherry-picked selection of patriarchal Old-testament ideas that would not even allow women to vote, much less end an unwanted pregnancy. It's all kind of incoherent but also quite dangerous, because they feel like violence is a legitimate way to achieve their political goals. They wrap themselves in the flag, and at the same time trample the very democratic principles that make this country unique and give it such potential for greatness.

Five (🖐️)(5!) grand juries found the evidence they saw/heard so compelling as to make tRump stand trial. C. If tRump is so innocent, if it's all just a sham, then why hasn't he asked for a speedy trial? An innocent man would want to clear his name as soon as possible. But tRump has spent $100 million on delay tactics. D. For all the grand jurors and all the prosecutors and all the witnesses to be engaged in a vast conspiracy to bring down one man beggars belief. It's just too complicated, too improbable. E. All that complication and improbability is swept away by one simple explanation: tRump is, in fact, a criminal.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Apr 11, 2024:

@Alienbeing Republicans love tax cuts, especially if they put more money in the pockets of the rich. But they worry about debt, an look around for cuts they can make to the federal budget. They don't want to touch defense spending, because that's their billionaire overlords' sacred rice bowl. So they focus their attention on Social Security and Medicare. Reagan set us on this path. Bush reinforced it with more tax cuts and a suggestion that social security be privatized. Trump amped up the 5ax cuts even more and suggested that we simply cut social security. So yeah, there is a link between trickle down economics and a desire (on the part if Republican presidents) to cut Social Security.

Why do Republicans want to cut Medicare and Social Security?

Alienbeing comments on Apr 8, 2024:

Other then two wierdo Republicans, why do you think "Republicans" want to cut SS & Medicare?

Flyingsaucesir replies on Apr 9, 2024:

@Alienbeing The Republican platform has been lower corporate taxes and deregulation at least since Reagan. There's really no mystery about that. The idea is called "trickle-down economics. Supposedly, the more money left in the hands of the billionaires, the more jobs they create, and the more money trickles down to the working class. And social programs have more recently been painted as crypto communist. It's all bullshit, if course. But the Republicans have had a very well-oiled propaganda machine working round the clock. And with the help of bloviating fascist slobs like Rush Limbaugh, so-called "conservatives" have been sold this bill of goods.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Apr 8, 2024:

Two weirdo Republican presidents, and the other elected weirdo Republicans in Congress who follow their lead, and the tens of millions (like 70, at last count) of voting weirdo Republicans. It's not nothing, as you seem to imply. As for the why, that's easy: because their billionaire overlords don't want their taxes raised to support social welfare programs. They want to keep their billions and to hell with poor people.

The Republican platform:

And this has given the Dems all the cover they need to completely sell out America to the interests of the Pentagon, the arms industry, the fossil fuel industry, and corporate America. Neither party gives a sheet about poor and working class Americans.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Apr 8, 2024:

Biden has made huge investments in green energy. Bigger than any Republican administration for damn sure. Who came up with a way for tens of millions of uninsured Americans to get coverage? Obama. And who signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and the 1965 Voting Rights Act? LBJ. And who gave millions of jobless Americans jobs, Social Security, and Medicare. FDR All Democrats, with a capital D. 🙂 Not saying the military industrial complex isn't a bloated tick on the body politic. Also not saying that corporations are paying their fair share of taxes, or that they're not raping the land, polluting the water, and fouling the air.

So THAT'S what Epstein and Trump were up to. 🧐

DenoPenno comments on Apr 4, 2024:

Water is precious but we have no more or no less of it that we ever had. A big problem is that government wants to send needed water to larger areas and this will cause a shortage for some of us. Maybe a shortage for many before it is over.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Apr 4, 2024:

Actually, we do have less fresh water available than we used to. Ancient aquifers are rapidly being drawn down all around the world. And the recharge rate on fossil water is so slow, it is essentially a non-renewable resource. Once you pull that water out, it's gone. Also, as glaciers melt away, the year-round supply of fresh water they used to provide goes away too. Again, less water is available. And higher average temperatures dry things out faster. The evaporation of fresh water impounded behind dams is higher, so not only are the droughts longer, they take away more of the water we have in storage. There are too many examples of this to list, but a couple you may have heard about are the City of Atlanta's reservoir and lakes Mead and Powell. Sorry to be so full of good tidings.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Apr 2, 2024:

@Seriousreason Bro, you can think whatever you want. That is your right. Just don't expect me to respect the crackpot ideas themselves. The stuff you have written to me is absolute bullshit. There is no middle ground on whether the 2020 election was stolen (it wasn't), or whether Trumpty Dumpty tried to stage a coup (he did), whether the attack on the Capitol on January 6 was an insurrection (it was), or whether the Mango Musolini instigated it (he did). You do know that the leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys are doing hard time for sedition, right? And that over 1,000 dumb asses who believed Orange Foolius's lies about the election having been stolen have been convicted of crimes they committed on the day, right? You know Done Cheato's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani has a $150 million judgement against him for defaming two Georgia election workers, saying they committed election fraud, right? And that Fox has to pay Dominion Voting Systems $780 million for defamation, right? For disseminating Trump's lies about the election? Well, maybe not. Fox didn't cover that bit of news. And John Eastman, one of the architects of the fake electors scheme is being disbarred, along with Sydney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, who hoth pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit election fraud on behalf of Donald Dementia Trump. I suggest you quit listening to Fox "News" or whatever bonehead right-wing propaganda outlet you're tuning in to. They're feeding you a lot of crap. And when you repeat that bullshit you just make yourself look like an idiot.

Indeed, rather than teaching its followers to be good stewards of the natural world, Christianity teaches them they are entitled to exercise dominion over it. This malignant attitude may very well prove to be our undoing: the destruction of not only our civilization but also our species (and many, many others).
