The current situation is dogshit. But let's not gloss over the fact that President Obama had a chance to fill Scalia's seat and he capitulated with the assumption that Clinton would win.

Do not take anything for granted. Everyone must vote.

Growing up latch key many a canned chicken was turned into chicken salad.

Tastes better than it looks but that's not saying much. Would not recommend but if yer hungry dive in.

Sounds like schizophrenia to me. Fear-mongering by politicians only exacerbates existing mental health issues.

Sad day.

Where we disagree is in saying Hamas didn't start this current conflict. They certainly did. Has shit been going on here for millenia? of course. The "strawman" was to remind you of the fact this opened with mass rape and murder at a music festival -- that's a fact.

You seemed to argue that thousand years of history seemingly justifies that and I'm telling you that it does not. " If Hamas did "... So you're absolute when it comes to Israel but when it comes to Hamas there' are modifiers. Your bias is showing.

Israel has done plenty of things that they should not be doing. The warlike bombardment of a city is not justified and has soured world opinion against them.

Yeah, so mass rape and terrorism is OK in your book if the ends justify the means? Hamas did start the conflict.

Israel was in talks with Saudi Arabia to normalize relations and Iran didn't want that at all and they gave Hamas the green light to attack.

Everything that happens in that region is about Saudi Arabia and Iran.

The point was we need to take care of citizens first and we haven't even done that. That's the first order of government. I guess one could argue that giving everyone people who are not here legally services are protecting the public. Anyway, I was trashed last night so sorry for the rant but I still feel that the government isn't doing all its can for its citizens first.

I'm a caretaker for someone with schizophrenia and the mental health services and coverage available in this state is completely inadequate. So politicians go on stage and say things like we're going to give everyone healthcare and it is all shit.

.. as a Californian this is bullshit. Solve mental health and homelessness crisis. This is smoke and mirrors shit. Gavin is all about image and little on substance. This coming from a person who wouldn't vote Republican either. We are literally in the darkest timeline. A turd sandwich versus a douche

Biden bitching about news media not covering the economy properly meanwhile this is the reality we all live in ... and people wonder why Democrats are not running away with elections.
