President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I'll kiss the filibuster goodbye
But down inside you know
It will never happen
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
Trump tried to build the wall
Only to stumble and fall

But we give you it all
She is a woman in gov
And she would do anything
To get the rich to pay more
For a stronger safety net
It's a right she'll defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

 

nobody's gonna do shit about that

 

I only just found out Thiel started a conservative NASCAR magazine after he made his PayPal money.

 

Put a picture on the vaccination card and call
It a voter ID. No ID. No Vote.

 

Yep. It may not necessarily start the problems, because such issues already exist everywhere, to some extent. But it certainly exacerbates them and impacts them and strains them in many ways. Pretending otherwise is silly and as ignorant as anyone who just shows racist tendencies by not wanting people to come in because of that.

It's not immigration, not in the way you're probably thinking of it, anyway -- that "foreigners" are coming in, and some people may not want them, because of that, specifically -- that is the problem. It's population, period. The system is not in place to deal with such issues, on a large-scale, ongoing basis, continuously. And I don't know that there is a system that would successfully do that.

Any cultural-clash issues are in addition to all the logistical problems.

 

Did she piss them off, or is being pissed off about culture wars the messed up way the right expresses joy?

There’s a line between irritation and “bring it.” AOC completes them.

 

Success how?

I see an america that badly needs everyone to know two languages.

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You just knew that the proponents of the Texas abortion ban law would start crying about how the law was actually being applied.

The anti-abortion group that championed Texas' vigilante law is upset 2 people suing over abortion aren't making 'valid attempts to save innocent human lives'

 

Alma's idea of a requirement to learn Spanish, particularly in something more than just the basics, is a great one. It would positively impact many things, including, oftentimes, resentment over diversity-related issues in jobs/work, societal relations and simple every-day problems caused by the fact that people just can't communicate well with each other.

People will not typically "choose" to learn a foreign language, particularly once they're no longer children and it gets much more difficult. Such learning usually only happens in young childhood, or if you're in an environment where you are forced, daily, to learn and use a second language because you must communicate. Otherwise, forget it. That's why the Spanish-speaking kids who have gone to school here are middle men for their Spanish-speaking parents who have lived here longer than their kids have been alive in the stores or wherever else language may be an issue.

Whatever foreign language you took in high school doesn't usually stick with you, unless, maybe, you took it for all four years so that you learned a lot of it, and/or you have used it regularly since then.

 

Geez, isn't there any other way that you can ever inject yourself into any discussion?

 

What the what?!?
