If guns are good, and more guns mean more safety, why are they shooting at someone just because they have a gun?

Because I'm being sarcastic. I'm not actually advocating for shitting on poor people, I'm not Republican.

We're Number 1! We're Number 1! USA! USA! USA!

Sure, but if we don't means test these things, how can we hurt the "right" (poor/minorities) people? /s

While I guess areas may be different, the high school I went to, and also the area I now live in, have varsity and JV teams. You had to be good enough to make varsity, but no one got cut from JV. Just belonging on a team is enough for some kids to make it all bearable. Everyone mentions scholarships, but how often is this honestly actually an issue?

What do you need to know? It's a high school team, not the Olympics. Why wouldn't the default always be inclusion? High school is a tough time for a lot of kids, and I'd imagine it's more difficult for most trans kids. If participating in sports makes it 5% easier, then so be it.

There is, it's the constitution. You can't be a member of the House without being 25 or a senator without being 30.

Imagine complaining to a social media platform because you're not allowed to be shitty to someone else.

Honestly, if you talk to most presidential historians they will tell you that you need about 20 years to pass before you can accurately assess a president. There's too many unknowns that will come to light only years or decades after a term ends, Eisenhower is a great example of this. So these rankings are likely to change over the years.

Although, having seen Trump's predilection for fraud, decit, and self-serving, I'd be shocked if he rebounds as more information comes out.

Is she trying to fast track disbarment? Lying to the court is an excellent way to, at a minimum, receive a suspension.

I just wish Dems would stop trying to ban any guns, and not because I'm against gun control, but because it's a losing issue. It's never passing through this Congress, and if it ever did, the Supreme Court would strike it down. Given that that's fairly undeniable, why lose the people who organize and vote on this issue alone?

How does the saying go:

The beauty of their women and the taste of their food has made the British the best sailors in the world.
