    Civil Unrest Sparks Create the 51st State?

    emtb2rn replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    D.C. has a larger population than wyoming or vermont. Why shouldn't the residents of the district have a say in what happens? Make them a state after the election. There’s a weird kind of taxation...

    Statement by the Seattle Firefighters re: CHOP

    emtb2rn replied to Emergent's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The firefighters followed the golden rule of civilian rescue - do not enter a violent scene until it’s secured. These shootings also reinforce why the abolition of police departments is unrealistic....

    Trump plans 1st COVID-19 era rally next week

    emtb2rn replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    And now we have to wait 2 weeks to see if any of those 6,200 ? folks who showed up test positive, become symptomatic or infect anyone else. Assuming contact tracing is done on attendees. Although we...

    Do you know anyone who was offended by Eskimo Pie ice cream treats?

    emtb2rn replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Resistance to any change in the status quo. Inability to accept other’s perceptions might be different from their own. Lack of empathy. Belief that they are seldom right but never

    What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    emtb2rn replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    So you consider a taser to be a lethal weapon that requires the user to be “neutralized”, nice euphemism for being shot & killed by the way. Anyway, what about a non-lethal weapon? Does that...

    emtb2rn replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes, brooks did aim the taser at the officer, apparently fired it & missed, he then turned & ran away. The officer then shot him in the back. This is not the fraction of a second shoot/not...

    Supreme Court Ruling: Workers can't be fired for being gay or transgender

    emtb2rn replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Good decision. For those who didn’t read the link, kavanaugh’s dissent includes this, to me, incongruous statement: "...applying protective laws to groups that were politically unpopular at the...

    Trump plans 1st COVID-19 era rally next week

    emtb2rn replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Hang on a second, if you have “always been pro-choice on abortion, pro-LGBT rights, separation of church and state, and I support universal healthcare”, then, ipso facto, you would not vote for...

    Dismantling the Police?

    emtb2rn replied to Emergent's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Defunding is not the same as abolishing. While some are calling for the total abolishment of police departments, I think that is an incredibly bad idea for reasons mentioned in the above post....

    Outside of the fact that you seem to be defending capone, does the name “big” bill thompson ring any bells? No? K, he was the mayor of chicago, completely bent & provided protection for...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    emtb2rn replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    So lemme see if I understand your extrapolation here... Some atf agents acted reprehensibly, therefore the entirety of federal law enforcement is worthless, has done nothing right and should not be...

    What happens if trump loses & won’t leave?

    emtb2rn replied to emtb2rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Welllll, I don’t know that trump can just deploy the military. The insurrection act of 1807 has been in the news lately but it doesn’t appear that he could use it under that scenario. And the...
