Children are not expected to be in full control of their emotions. Children are not expected to be experts in any field. Children are not expect to create laws for the country. By comparing them to children, we are saying they do not have the mental maturity to handle their respective duties. Which is a perfectly reasonable way of putting it. Children should never be in charge of anything important. They should be figuring life and themselves out before their soul gets caught in the gears of capitalism and is crushed for its value.
History will be erased and supplanted with a Rubepublican version this November. Way too many people are supporting the Mandate For Leadership. I have had more people turn back onto it after showing them that than those that have been turned away. Its fucken scary out here. People actually want that shit.
Financial incentives ruin everything because everything becomes about making the most money instead of whatever task was originally at hand. Its the same shit with the English and the cobras.

Most forms ask this question, and a lot of jobs won’t hire you. He isn’t eligible for a lot of things being a convicted felon. Not defending him, but you should still ask others if they’re criminals when you are hiring. Even if its just to make sure you’re flocking together.

Why are you getting down voted? That sounds about right and why all these dictators and genocides are loving Trump. Its probably not a close knit plan, more like a dictator to dickhole vibe check.
They take themselves very seriously, they’re acting as Trump’s bloodhounds right now. They know what they’re doing. They’ve been building for this the last few decades.
This is all extremely fascist rhetoric. How are these people not deemed threats to the nation? Openly talking of prosecuting political enemies. This is insane.
And it is extremely effective. How many generations in are we on “money is free speech” before we are literally combating fascism aided by the entire machine itself? If democracy survived this election, and our country thereafter it’s pillaged, we need to move with the speed of gods to fix our system.

Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’ - The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
We can scoff, but these are the kind of things that matter to most people. Its the 11th hour, and Biden needs to be doing more than hardball advertisements.
No I’m not. I’m worried Trump is gonna fleece enough people with these promises. Everyone needs to pay tax so we have nice shit. That’s how we keep the good times rolling.
Yeah you’re right. Let’s not pay taxes at all. Oh wait, we did that. It didn’t work. Its called the Kansas Experiment.
How the government decides to spend taxes and the act of paying taxes itself are two exclusive things. If you dont like how your taxes are being spent. Vote in better people.
Nobody cares about local elections and that’s why our society seems to be crafted out of footguns.
Because that 5 year period was a playground for conservative tax ideas. They were able to create their perfect tax haven, and it drug the city down in only five years. Dont talk to me about cherry picking when you only mention income tax. There are many more sources of tax payer money then just income tax.
You’re right about the local taxes, those tend to get used on drugs, hotel rooms, and to take advantage of sex workers. The remedy is the same, vote in better people, not the same motherfuckers year over year. That’s our duty to democracy and to the republic. Alright, now respond to each of these sentences separatly, too.
