Politics Thread

No it’s not.

That’s why we have inflation.

There is NOBODY here that pussyfoots around like you 'Ville. You just relish in making yourself seem a precious unbiased individual..... HOWEVER, you simply come off as a foolish political troll. We all are waiting for you to get your thumb out your ass and see where you really stand. You certainly post here a lot, and your tag seems to suggest much more clarity.
🤔

Guess you missed the part where I mentioned some things that should be done. Weird. I am an unbiased individual when it comes to the two political parties, I care about issues, not like some on here that wait or look up what their respective party says and then form and follow that opinion.

You want to have ex military at schools? Yeah those guys and gals never come home with any issues. Geezus Christ.

"All three branches of government" suddenly morphs into the 2 branches "that control the purse strings."

And I'm the one deflecting? Sure.

(Curiously, the "power of the purse" has generally meant one branch, the legislature, which has the authority to tax and spend)

Everyone knew what I was saying but, yeah. You focus on minutiae to deflect from getting to the real issue of financial priorities of the Dems.
And to your last sentence, that was what the Founders intended until Ol’ Joe decided to issue executive orders to cancel student debt, for example, sticking a huge invoice on the rest of the taxpayers. I guess you can’t see that through your blue tint glasses.
Totally unconstitutional, but whatever….

My exact thoughts when I read his suggestion.

Well most schools already have armed police in their schools. Do they not have bad days? Id hope they'd go thru quite a bit of mental testing before being approved

Our Rotary club does volunteer literary work at a local public grade school.
There is always one (if not 2) "resource" officers posted at the locked front door.
In my day, the resource officer was a nun.
Times change.

I think most of those sisters could have taken down the average school shooter with nothing more than a ruler.

Admittedly, I don’t know if there is inherent bias in this study, but based on these results and common sense, it doesn’t seem that just having an armed guard will solve the problem.

Could it be a piece? Sure, but imo there are other things especially around mental health and “arming” people with resources that would stop putting bandaids on things. Proper gun legislation also needs to be addressed, obtaining one should be one of if not the hardest thing to do in life., and spare me the bs about the government controlling us if we don’t have our guns. If the government wants to control you, their arsenal is bigger than billy bad ass with his couple of ar 15s

Well, in Denver we had a kid shoot two people while he was being patted down.
