I remember. How he won the primary, I don't know. By the time I was paying attention he was running against Dr. Oz. I can't be sorry he won against Oz, but how is he the best the Dems could do I cannot understand. I never will again after Trump, which is why I think he could be the nominee again. God forbid it. This is the first time I've allowed myself to acknowledge we could go through that hell again.

Please let these stories of the former guy being arrested be true. I need to see the perp walk with my own eyes. After all that "lock her up" nonsense. Please sweet justice let it happen.

Oh, I could not agree more!! Joe has a tendency to accidentally step in [!@#$%^&*]. He's not trying to hurt people. The former guy chose to roll in it like a pig and enjoyed every second of it. He loved hurting people. It's a completely different thing. I can't believe that despicable man still roams free among us. The internet keeps telling us that fast food kills, but I'm still waiting.

I appreciate Joe Biden in many ways, but good Lord. Has anyone ever stepped in it as often as he has? https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1635604252902014977?s=20 https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1635604252902014977?s=20

I'm disappointed in his decision. I don't really blame Biden, but just keep destroying the environment. https://twitter.com/politico/status/1635284174537113602?s=20

After Joe Biden was elected for just a few months I felt like we (liberals) could feel a sense of relief. That was very short lived. Now fewer horrible things are happening on the federal level, but the states are running amok. I thank god I left Florida when I did, even Nebraska isn't as crazy. The right is doing an excellent job of destroying public schools.

GENERAL HOSPITAL February 2023 Discussion Thread
Yes!! She looked like a million bucks in that wedding dress. Just perfect. The way she was crying during the ceremony like she felt she was losing Curtis at the very moment they were getting married. The other fashion for the wedding was pretty good given today's budgets. Terry looked so good in that red and purple dress, it really suited her coloring. I didn't like Ava's purple dress, but I have to say Maura west has aged into being an beautiful classic soap actress. She has that sophisticated look that actresses had on soaps like Ryan's Hope. They found the perfect Nic. He just can't be dead. I'm a week behind, but Dr. Holt is clearly up to something.

Now we are at 40,000 dead. This is a horrible human tragedy. I feel so bad for everyone caught up in this, but the little kids found after being in the rubble for three or four days? It's a miracle they survived that kind of hell.

I probably enjoyed this a little too much, but I lived in Florida when Rick Scott was governor. He has this coming. His fellow Republicans cannot back away from him fast enough. When are they going to learn not to even think about touching the third rail? Never. Because they are a bunch of greedy bastards. https://twitter.com/JoelLawsonDC/status/1623874340621021184?s=20&t=aOZpG9GrvQaIKQQPD58FMg

The Black Lives Matter Thread
I don't either. Watching a man beg for his mother while he's beaten to death isn't going to do my mental health any favors. As you say, it's not going to change anything. I've seen people murdered on video twice and I never intend to see it again. I do hope we can change policing in this country, but I'm not holding my breath.

I find the murderers targeting people at their houses of worship the absolute worst. If there is a good argument for the death penalty Dylann Roof is it. If we aren't going to serve it up to that kind of monster, lets just get rid of it once and for all. Thank you Marceline. Rachel is always trying to get me to take her there. She thinks she's a mini fashionista. We are incredibly lucky.

Damn. It has become so normalized, but as you said in the other thread, with all these ridiculous gun laws we have it's not so surprising. Thank you Carl. I'm not even shocked. It's just a day in the life of our nation.

In other news there was an active shooter today at my neighborhood Target. A place my daughter is constantly begging me to take her. He shot off a few rounds before the police arrived and killed him. Luckily no one else was harmed.

I guess this doesn't prove that Trump was the catalyst, but I think in this correlation might just be causation.

This is insane. I'd love to see the racial breakdown of the kids being paddled. They probably don't keep those statistics though.

Oh no, ANOTHER Mass Shooting in the U.S. SMH
I suppose the Half Moon Bay incident was a copy cat given the demographics of the shooters. I don't have cable, so I haven't heard the talking heads explanation. The most disturbing part to me is that the killers were seniors. It tends to be younger men who commit this type of crime. What is the motive?

I hadn't seen it, but PBS just let me watch it. I knew a lot of what was in it, but not the details. I should have known the Koch brothers were knee deep in these crimes against humanity. I agree 100% that the oil companies were (and are) run by psychopathic liars. I just think the politicians who went along are much worse and many people have known the truth for decades. Our leaders had academic and government studies (as mentioned in the frontline report) that showed that global warming is real. They chose to sell out. Its reminiscent of the CEO's of cigarette companies standing in front of Congress swearing their products don't cause cancer. They gave politicians just enough cover and money to prolong the status quo, but most educated people knew they were lying. Same with all the junk food/beverage companies. They have their scientists actively trying to create ultra processed food that the human brain craves, while pretending they aren't selling us poison. Of course, they also lobby against sugar taxes. Speaking about crimes against humanity have you seen the documentaries about what Texico/Chevron did in Ecuador? 18 billion gallons of toxic water dumped on tribal lands in the rain forest. 1,000 open toxic oil pits. It happened in the 70's and it's still in the courts. I doubt the people who were poisoned will ever see justice. Everyone involved should have spent their lives imprisoned.

They just can't stop trying to punish poor people. Shameful! https://twitter.com/SamiScheetz/status/1616230826848489478?s=20&t=R4EzF2Uq_6oSJCGyy3W6Nw

What are Jamie Raskin and Axios talking about?? I sure hope that subcommittee meeting was held a decade ago. It's been known for years that Exxon predicted climate change in the 70's. So what really? Are we expecting corporate America to regulate itself? Any politician acting that naive is a damn liar. The scandal, if there is one, is that the governments of the world have known about climate change for decades and have not responded appropriately. The force that could have slowed down climate change is the U.S government. An article about Exxon for 2015 and I don't even know if this is he first one. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/
