Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

So.....what's so depressing about it? If you didn't watch it, she describes a very hard life. She didn't mention anyone in her family killed, so that's a plus. She lost her three cats, but saved the dog. She's living, along with several family members, in the south of the Gaza Strip, in an area with...

A very depressing video from Gaza

This board is mostly lightweight stuff, but this just struck me. It's a bit depressing. Well.....more than a bit, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wtdO2e5vwU It's a young woman, 23 years old, describing her life in Gaza right now. It's not good. But I must confess, what truly depressed me wa...

Re: Planet America

I have a new theory about what's wrong with our country. Everyone takes themselves too damned seriously, and overestimates their own significance. I saw in the news today that the Audobon Society is going to rename dozens of bird names that have racist backgrounds. I think that means that whoever di...

Re: Planet America

An example of why church and state need to remain separate: https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/baton-rouge-metro-area-student-in-trouble-for-dancing/article_e588c49e-6461-11ee-a9a5-73319b66f8eb.html Apparently, Jesus decided to get in on cancel culture.

Re: Planet America

It signals that the Republican Party will allow itself to be held hostage by the Trump wing. I wouldn't say "taken over", they've willingly replaced everything they ever were with MAGA and he is now the whole party./ [/quote] I think the majority of the Republican Party dislikes Trump and...

Re: Planet America

It signals that the Republican Party will allow itself to be held hostage by the Trump wing. I'd like to say that it's okay because there isn't a whelk's chance in a supernova of him getting elected, but I said that last time too. Last time around, I thought it was very safe that he would not get e...

Re: Planet America

The new house speaker sums it up nicely. Any other country he'd be a padded cell, in America, he's 2nd in line for the Presidency. I was disappointed, but not surprised, by the pick. It signals that the Republican Party will allow itself to be held hostage by the Trump wing. There is a lot of time ...

Re: Planet America

I would vote for her above The Evil One without hesitation, and I think enough other people would too. She isn't a "safe" candidate, though. She has a strange enough mouth that I think she would stumble, multiple times. Like Biden doesn't? Even when young, Biden was famous for bizarre utt...
