No, did you even read? 1) I said that I guess that I’m part of them. I really don’t know in today’s classifications. 2) I was talking about the over reactions by some liberials as an excuse and ammunition for the middle and middle right to point fingers and be pissed off. In which this article is addressing. I read the whole article. The sheriff and ADA are in the wrong on this case. The kid was fine. The sheriff should have never gone back and arrested the mother. And the ADA should not insist on the mother to sign the paperwork. As much as the left yells about the right over reaching, the left is doing the same in this case. I’m saying to both sides to stay out of family business unless it involves physical or mental abuse.

FYI, I voted blue.

LOL. Yes. I totally agree. That’s why I said that even I don’t know what to call myself. People question me on my views and I’ve been called everything from a tree hugging hippie to one step away from being an authoritarian. Who freaking knows. I’m for everyone minding their own business and your rights end when they start to step on mine. Marry whomever you want - that is of age, dress how you like, read whatever you like, do whatever you want to your own body, and don’t try to dictate your beliefs to me. The slow burn of our country started a few administrations ago. People are just now starting seeing the smoke today.

We have definitely started the slow burn of our country. We may be seeing the reason why the ‘founding fathers’ did not want and think that the ‘common man’ should be allowed to vote. Back then, the common man did not own property and was not educated. Maybe they thought that the common man lacked the knowledge and insight to understand the nuances of governing. I strongly believe that this past voting cycle showed a strong lack of understanding, emotional myopathy, and the pure racism & sexism that exists in our country.

This is one of the problems that liberals create for themselves which cause the middle ground people to hate them. The liberals go too far. (I have no idea what I’m classified as - right leaning liberal, left leaning independent, or whatever.) The left wing needs to stay out of how parents raise their children, except for cases of abuse. This isn’t abuse. I’ve personally asked social workers, who were patients of mine, if the number of cases of child abductions have risen and every one of them have said no. It just appears that way due to our immediate access to news, social media, and Amber alerts. I would take off on my bike Saturday mornings. I would be away from home all day. I just had to be hone before the street lights came on.

Yes, I remember the reports on that podcast. (There was no way that I could listen to it.) Apparently, common sense has left the building. When I took ancient history, another student asked how or why did the Roman Empire fall. (Honestly, the answer has multiple factors.) However, we have witnessed the reason why the U.S. will fail. The republicans’ planned results of demolishing the education system has seen fruition and the plot of “Idiocracy” has come to pass.

If everyone knew U.S. Government & Economics, they would also know that there isn’t too much they president can do to improve the economy. He can make it worse quickly with bad policies, but not much on improving it. He cannot control the Fed or prices. The last president who tried to control prices was Nixon with a prices freeze, and that started the dominoes which made everything worse all the way through to the end of Carter’s term. The presidential policies that can effect the economy for good, most of the time, take a year or more to see results. Basically, that’s why the republicans get credit for improving the economy, from the democratic president before him. This is the first time that there’s been a ‘soft landing’ from inflation, if memory serves.

This election proved that there are a lot of dumb-asses that need to go back to school to take U.S. Government, Civics, and Economics because they didn’t learn it the first time, or they never had to take them to graduate high school. Seriously, why in the f#ck would you entrust the economy to a dumbf#ck who bankrupted TWO casinos!! The freaking business model, of a casino, is people walk in, then over the course of two to four hours hand you all their money and then leave. You REALLY have to be a dumbf#ck to fail at that.

Ok. Thank you.

You’re either being sarcastic or you don’t live in the U.S. I’m currently living in Louisiana, and I’m surrounded by racist idiots.

Please don’t talk about suicide. There is always a better way. Reach out to someone or the hotline if you truly feel like that.

I guess I'll be last seen being dragged into one of the detaining camps because I'm getting several T-shirts made, "Don't blame me.  I didn't vote for the orange shitbag douche!"  
 Now we don't have to wonder why there's not a shit load of advanced life in the universe.  We just experienced one of the bottlenecks of civilizations advancing.  

Because of different countries voting for right wing governments recently and tonight, I’ve lost hope for this country and the planet.

Later add on: I have no clue why my post keep showing up as f’ed up text. If anyone know, please advise.
