Re: FBI raids Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort

I saw this quote. “Even the most extreme (and unlikely) hypotheticals for what Trump was up to with these documents—like outright selling nuclear secrets to a foreign power—would still be a lesser offense than a defeated President of the United States trying to install himself as an unelected autocr...

Re: Russia/Ukraine

I have been keeping up on it. Russia did their “Shock and Awe” campaign and threw everything short of nukes at Ukraine and failed to conquer them. They lost a lot of troops and heavy weaponry and decided to regroup while they retool and find some fresh troops. Meanwhile Ukraine thanks to the US and ...

Re: FBI raids Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort

I don’t care. They are on the wrong side of right and wrong says this agnostic guy who just read the article that claimed atheists and agnostics are the most hated people in America because of their perceived lack of morals by religious people. I am sitting here watching the supposedly most religiou...

Re: Biden Administration misc. activities

I don’t think most 20 year olds are capable of grasping what their future will be in ten years. Everyone else is going to college and they don’t want to be a failure working at Burger King in ten years. It’s just the way things are done. Most have no clue what they want to be when they start college...

Re: Biden Administration misc. activities

You are right. I don’t do it for the money and I didn’t expect the government to help me. I was actually shocked that I got money for being out of work from Covid. I had never gone on unemployment before Covid. I do have sympathy for young people that feel they have to go to college and rack up a bu...

Re: Biden Administration misc. activities

I’m one of those losers who decided to have a useless job of being a musician and went to school for it. I took out student loans to do it. My average salary throughout my career has been in the neighborhood of 30k a year. I paid off my student loans and just finished paying off my house. I’m lucky ...

Re: FBI raids Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort

Is this unprecedented in US history as far as we know? Has any other US President ever taken classified documents home with him after leaving the white house? And then refuse to give them up? Everything Trump did was unPresidented in US history. He will always be remembered as one of the most corru...

I saw this and am posting it. I can’t confirm it yet though. “Biden isn’t just forgiving a set amount of debt. He is also enacting a new policy that ends excess interest on student loans—as long as a borrower pays their minimum monthly payment (now capped at only 5% of their income), their balance w...
