politics

I’m a politically aware person. I read a lot of news, I enjoy my American polling to find out what people align with. That interview of Tuberville is horrifying. I’m use to disagreeing with these fuck wads, but this is a whole new level of stupid.

Tommy Tuberville is one of the most dangerous politicians in America and that man doesn’t have two fucking brain cells to rub together. I’m not sure if this is a mark of the average Alabama voter (probably) but holy fuck is this man an actual idiot. Green, Bobs, Johnson, even Gatez are all incredibly stupid, but Tuberville is dangerous, stupid and mentally deficient with actual power. He’s crippled our military, made a mockery of our political system and put god over party and country (and if I recall he’s even said the system in his view goes God, Party then Country).

As long as they are provided refreshments; perhaps plates of crayons, and some fizzy bleach.

Sadly, he is representative of a great many people.

May we come in and share the gospel of trump with you?

Sales tax is fine, with carve outs for food and essentials. Do you live somewhere that charges sales tax on food? Campaign for removing that and see if you can help.

And they're so goddamn fucking stupid that they can't even do it right, and pass a law that does the fucking opposite.

At least until they get their handmaids assigned to them in a few years I guess.... Then there will be plenty of (white) kids!

And help Russia, however he can

Rate we're going unless Trump strokes out its going to be another 4 years of this shit.

Something else to think about.. IVF is expensive, so often only done by well-educated adults who have enough disposable income to go through with the procedure. This would result in well-fed, educated, healthy children, who we all know will be more likely to vote progressive, not join the military, not end up in the prison system etc. He doesn't just want babies, he wants poor babies.

I don't disagree with your point but this guy is really really dumb. I wouldn't put it past his narcissistic ass to not even read an article let alone follow legal cases.

Thanks I'm downloading this for the future

Once Boebert gets voted out of the house, he'll be in the running for the dumbest person in all of Congress!

Yeah, it’s definitely between Tuberville and Ron Johnson for the dumbest dumb-dumb in the Senate.

We need more grist for the mill.

Globally, while the world doesn't need more humans, and a decrease wouldn't be a bad thing, the birth rate needs to be close enough to the death rate that the population doesn't drop too fast. If it does, an aging population will suffer as there aren't enough working age people to support the retired. Boomers will be fine, as will genx most likely, but Millennials and Zoomers would get hit.
Globally the population is still rising, but some parts of the world already have the issue with not enough children being born to support the current workers. The solution is immigration, which is where the likes of Tubberville take issue. They're concerned that the right kids are being born.

America's economic system depends on impossible infinite growth. Gotta have an infinitely growing population to keep that rolling.

I see you've been to his constituency.

What you are describing was the original definition of “lobbyist.” They were supposed to be experts from their field who would assist and inform legislators in crafting related laws and regulations.

What they became was a legalized bribery machine.

They have access to such people any time they want. The problem is that experts never seem to tell them what they want to here.

While I understand where the sentiment is coming from, the country has a really racist history with tying voting to tests. Literacy tests were illegally used to stop black people from voting in the wake of the civil war, because black people were (at the time) fresh out of slavery and largely illiterate.

Black people had recently been given the right to vote, but states went “ah but you need to either own land (which was only white people, because the freshly freed slaves couldn’t afford to buy land,) or pass a written test (which was designed so literate white people could pass, but illiterate black people couldn’t) first.” It was a blatant way to disenfranchise the new black voters and prevent them from having a voice and representation in congress.
