No wonder Giuliani is upset with Mamdani.

For me it’s always a red flag when the word “evil” is used. While it may be used in non-religious ways, it often has a religious context. Religion has caused too many problems for mankind, and that is why the separation of church and state is so important.

I found myself wondering about the origins of the word, “Mar-a-lago”. Search says it is a Spanish word coined by Marjorie Merriweather Post which means “sea to lake”. Maybe Trump should rename his own private property?

This must be what Vance means when he’s talked about Ordo Amoris and Christian love.

False positives are kinda high with polygraphs. Due to unreliability of results US courts don’t accept them as evidence. That doesn’t stop a boss on a power trip from firing you.

Hypothetically, let’s say a political party passes a law against murder that mandates long prison sentences, then another political party comes along and uses the same law to jail people who have not committed murder, is the first political party responsible for what the second political party did?

In case you are confused by my comment, you have to read the article to understand. It alleges democrats are responsible for creating the immigration enforcement structures which republicans are now abusing.

The Postal Service wants to require that both the “outbound” envelope carrying the ballot to the voter and the “inbound” envelope bringing the ballot back to the election office have a barcode for automated tracking that’s unique to each voter.

No more secret ballots?

If mail ballots get rejected in bulk as the recent whistleblower claimed they would, if you go to the poll to vote because you didn’t receive a ballot by mail, ICE will be there to insure you can or can’t vote?

So they’re messing with the ballots and sending ICE to polling stations.

The environmentalists have been telling us since at least the 1960s that fossil fuels were screwing up the biosphere. This could have been avoided, but making those fossil fuel profits were just too precious.

That’s not an answer. Humanonearth’s hypothesis was that we have a capitalist system that is predatory, so then I wondered (and let me rephrase slightly), why don’t we teach our kids in schools to lie and deceive, basically to be psychopaths, if that’s what brings in the big bucks in the corporate world?

Your response made me think of the following line in the article which I’ve formatted as bold:

In the non-criminal, non-violent space of endless persecution – as might happen in a workplace – there are layers of disbelief. People can’t fathom that the Dark Personality is dark, they can’t believe that anyone would want to be deliberately harmful, they can’t process that harm was caused at all. It was bracing to hear Mitchell describe workplace suicides as an issue that partly spurred her research, since it is completely forbidden, in the mental health world, to ascribe a person’s suicide to anyone else’s behaviour. Yet a landmark ruling in France did exactly that in 2019, and found “torment” in the workplace, linked to a number of executives, had created the culture at France Télécom in which 19 employees took their own lives, 12 attempted suicide, and eight suffered from serious depression, between 2006 and 2009. Jane Monckton-Smith, professor of public protection at the University of Gloucestershire, has said in the past that, if we included provoked suicides, domestic homicide statistics could be multiplied “five, six or seven times”.

According to search, private grade schools also teach citizenship, and that it includes honesty, kindness, sharing, and following rules.

If capitalism rewards ruthless behavior, why do we teach our kids in schools to be nice to each other?

The conclusion talks about needing to inoculate people against being victimized. Seems like a pipe dream if we indeed have a pathocracy. Psychopathy is estimated at 1% in the general population, but in CEOs, it’s estimated at values up to 20%. It seems psychopaths seek high hierarchy.

Amid all those dynamics, the overall U.S. beef and dairy cattle herd hit a 75-year low this year. Americans’ demand has largely remained strong, meanwhile, leading to higher prices for things like hamburger meat and steak at the grocery store and restaurants.

More people in US than ever before, and 75-year low herd numbers? No wonder they’re mad.

Polling conducted in March by Lake Research Partners for Free Speech for People (FSFP)—a legal advocacy group behind a campaign to impeach Trump again—found that 52% of US voters support a third impeachment, including 84% of Democrats, 55% of Independents, and 14% of Republicans. Leaders at the organization welcomed Green’s new articles on Monday.

Republicans are truly different kinds of people that they support the killings of individuals by unaccountable paramilitary police forces. Law and Disorder?

Boiled frog, how will the people react when MAGA takes away their democracy?

Welcome to my personal ignore list. I’m quite happy that I’ll never read your insults ever again.

You’re welcome to whatever opinion you may have, personally I hope Ossoff’s message rings some bells of familiarity. Trump certainly reacted to that reporter who brought it up.

My point is it worked for Trump.
