  1. https://news.yahoo.com/column-ashli-babbitt-not-peaceful-222655301.html Column: Ashli Babbitt was not a peaceful protester. It's clear why the cop who shot her was exonerated
  2. No! Georgia governors do not have that power. Nice try. No cigar. https://news.yahoo.com/georgia-prosecutors-open-criminal-investigation-160913711.html
  3. Still in process. We don't know for sure yet. Indicting an ex president would be incredibly momentous. My opinion is that Georgia will probably act but that's short of definite. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-georgia-indictment-predicted-legal-expert-laurence-tribe-1711018 Trump Indictment Predicted in Georgia By Legal Expert: 'Charges Will Stick' https://www.newsweek.com/trump-against-strong-evidence-georgia-expert-predicts-prosecution-1714999 Trump Up Against 'Strong Evidence' in Georgia, Expert Predicts Prosecution
  4. The wheels of justice are notoriously slow. Georgia is working on the case. The decision to indict or not has not been made public as yet.
  5. He's controls the republican party and may be running for president again. Next time his coup attempt will probably succeed. 2020 was a test run. Ignore him? We don't have that luxury!
  6. I agree we don't want one party rule but it is the Trumpist Banana republicans that are building systems to overturn any election results they don't like. So it is the Trump R party that has morphed into the party of autocracy and arguably fascism. Time is running out to have any hope of stopping them.
  7. How SS is funded. https://www.aarp.org/retirement/social-security/questions-answers/how-is-social-security-funded.html Mostly from SS payroll.taxes. That is NOT borrowed money.
  8. Social security funding is borrowed money? Its supposed to be funded directly by SS payroll taxes, yes? The proposed bill addresses how to fund the 200 as well.
  9. Your post was preachy and here is my response. You are correct that the program wasn't designed to provide full support. However for various reasons it is used that way by many people. One big reason is the phasing out of company pensions. As you imply sometimes people could have built an adequate nest egg but chose not to. In other cases poverty or ruinous personal events precluded that possibility. So the morality preaching you made your own bed may be apt for some but not all. As far as SS funding it is not a welfare program. As this bill suggests funding can be tweaked with changes such as raising the income cap. Boosting checks 200 isn't such a big change after all.
  10. The rent is just too darned high! Honestly, no I didn't figure that I would be priced out of repatriation even to quite undesirable locations. Aside from the hassle of keeping a U.S. property, maybe this might be a business opportunity to sell to future expats? Repatriation insurance. It would need to be expensive!

  11. Don't forget Georgia. Likely the easiest case to convict and Garland wouldn't be involved. Just like Watergate, they've got TAPES! Only one felony conviction is needed to take him out, not ten.

  12. There are still tourist visas. I really have no idea what you are on about except perhaps having a bit of fun with fear mongering.
  13. He staged a coup attempt. He tried to disenfranchise 78 million voters and install himself as an authoritarian dictator. I don't understand not understanding.
  14. A bit naive. Many will do multiple drugs. I agree pot is on the lower end of danger.
