@BHLH865 It's pretty obvious that no one is in charge.
@BHLH865 "who's in charge??"Human traffickers.

@daustin97222 I love the Bob's Red Mill story. Thank you for sharing it. Their grains taste so good. Bob's Red Mill Farro is delicious! www.bobsredmill.com/...
It's time to consider gun safety. Instead of ignoring it longer. It's almost like it's all the same people who have No Solutions for America.
I heard that Hunter Biden got a new job. He's the new spokesman for Kraft Parmesan Cheese.
@GreenEggs&Ham Hunter Biden got a new endorsement deal today. From now on, he is the official spokesman for Delta Dental Cosmetic Dentistry.Here's a link to the "Before" picture:www.nzherald.co.nz/...
@David Crosetti Gaetz keeps getting offers to represent the new Barbie Doll collection.
@crademan @nam@Namron Damron Just more failure of US leadership.If the US doesn't enact a Vaccine Passport Act it can't stop pandemics."The government is not now nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday. While mask mandates quickly became fodder for the culture wars, there's resistance to vaccine passports from all sides. Conservative leaders say they will resist any movement toward a vaccine pass, arguing it's an infringement of individual freedoms. Some progressives, too, have raised concerns, saying vaccine passport schemes are likely to exacerbate existing inequality. "www.msn.com/...
@techy46 How can a document which gives you the freedom to travel, to attend cultural and sporting events, and to go to school be "an infringement of individual freedoms"?
@techy46 I think the big risk/issue is digitizing the vaccine info but an add on to a passport is ok. If you travel to certain foreign countries, you have to prove you have had certain shots and have to carry certification of that with you as a paper add-on to the passport.
@Jack T Bonds I'm not against vaccine passports?I said "If the US doesn't enact a Vaccine Passport Act it can't stop pandemics"I have no issues with more Federal authority as long as it's universally applied.I do have problem if Federal laws are avoided like US immigration laws.Congress needs to enact a National Pandemic Strategy Act.It should require Vaccination Passports on all foreign travelers.It should require same on all intrastate travel during pandemics.Congressional failure is what caused 2020 COVID Pandemic,
These shootings need to be stopped. I just want to see us ban semi and fully automatic weapons. There is no practical need for them. I don't think that's the way Biden is going but getting 'something' done is better than nothing. Problem is, the small laws that are installed do nothing about the existence of these assault weapons. The NRA, the biggest and most influential gun rights group in the country, is consumed by infighting and legal battles. That will likely have a major impact on their ability to fight any legislative. Biden on Thursday called gun violence in the U.S. an “epidemic,” and urged a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, among other congressional actions. Gun violence killed nearly 20,000 people in America in 2020, and has so far killed nearly 5,000 this year. Also, he called it an international embarrassment.... I agree.
Looks like you disagree with your leader.
This will have the lefties all in an uproar:Pennsylvania election officials have agreed to remove thousands of dead Americans from its state voter rolls following a lawsuit by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).In November 2020, PILF attorneys filed suit against Pennsylvania election officials, alleging at least 21,000 dead Americans were on the state’s voter rolls less than a month before the 2020 presidential election.The lawsuit claimed more than 9,200 of the dead Americans on the voter rolls had been dead for at least five years, nearly 2,000 had been dead for at least a decade, and nearly 200 had been dead for at least 20 years.
@David Crosetti Watch some Dem propose families get extra votes for COVID dead.
@tewright2012 Actually, there was one case in Pennsylvania in the last election: "Delaware County, Pennsylvania man Bruce Bartman was arraigned Friday after admitting to authorities that he had registered his dead mother to vote in the 2020 presidential election for President Donald Trump." www.newsweek.com/...
This just in:MSNBC said it mistakenly aired video of the wrong black congressman during a recent report on the death of Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL).“Earlier when reporting on the death of Rep. Alcee Hastings, we showed video of Rep. Bennie Thompson,” the outlet’s Hallie Jackson said in a tweet Tuesday of the mistake that reportedly occurred on her show Hallie Jackson Reports.Bennie Thompson is outraged. He said: "Mother f*****s, I ain't dead."
@David Crosetti I'm not touching that one!
@techy46 Bennie is a Mississippi guy.
A highly anticipated union vote among Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama, appeared to be headed toward defeat for the union, and many liberals on Twitter are very angry about it.The vote count will resume Friday but with half of the votes counted Thursday, only 463 votes supported unionization, while 1,100 votes opposed unionization, more than a 2 to 1 margin.A total of 3,215 votes were cast in the vote that is being overseen by the National Labor Relations Board.The unionization effort needs 1,608 votes to win, a "nearly insurmountable climb" according to NBC News.Some on the left took to Twitter to express their fury and frustration with the failure to unionize Amazon."No matter how hard organizers work, when the wealthiest man in the world is pulling out all of the stops to terrify workers & lie to them about unions, and actively punishes people for being pro-union, it's hard to win," Robinson said.Bezos is one despicable human being. He really is. Why anyone would work for Amazon is beyond me. But, people do weird stuff all the time. Interesting vote, though.
@David Crosetti Is Dominion involved?
@David Crosetti Well maybe they work for Amazon to buy necessities?I guess that's hard for some liberals to figure out?
@David Crosetti So your pro union?
Interesting. You're a closeted liberal democrat obviously.Why is Bezos despicable? Be specific and don't repeat what some guy wrote on twitter. Use your words. C'mon, I know you can do it.
