What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

Published

Something to understand what nurses think about re the Current News and their opinions!

I keep getting the feeling, I'm not sure about this conclusion, but it appears that it is more lucrative or beneficial to be an elected official like a senator or congressman, than it is to actually have a profession and work in the private sector? Based on how much they fight to stay elected, either they are being paid too much or their egos are being fed, but I find this deeply disturbing, if that's the case! 

I don't want any elected officials to be there in any segment of government from county to federal, because of renumeration of some sort. Either you get the job because you are actually interested in making a difference or it's your calling. 

Salaries and benefits should be reduced to at least 20% of private sector equivalent re qualifications or abilities. This would immediately weed out the charlatans!

The most adaptable survive.  Often that the smartest are the most adaptable, but not always.

I'm an advocate of term limits at every level of elected office.

If Biden wasn't such a coward and only interested in continuing on to a second term, he would tell Manchin and Sinema that if they didn't toe the line immediately, he would publicly encourage encourage Dems to boycott the companies funding both of them until those companies withdraw their funding forever until they are out of office. I would find ways to not only remove them from committees but reduce their office funding so they have no staffers etc. 

This is not a time to play nice. Laws are being enacted to not only suppress voting but to subjugate women and minorities. The republicans have clearly shown that they are irresponsible and callous and consummate liars. So many of their members are thieves and conmen. I would eradicate them if I was there. I have no sympathy or pity for people like that. 

I would immediately begin an investigation into fox and onn media companies because you can be absolutely certain that they are bending the rules! Biden is a hypocrite, because either he's religious and a proper politician or he would seek out the truth. He has the best opportunity now to change American politics forever for the good, if he would remove the filibuster. With that gone, stack the Supreme Court and go after crooked politicians with a vengeance. Set precedents that any form of disingenuouness by politicians will be severely death with! Applicable to Dems and republicans!

This is how you make Sinema and Manchin and the republicans toe the line!

How long do you think this programme will last. Viewers used their power to make the change and Corporate will change or go under. 

If crooked politicians are there for the lucre, then take it away from them and this is how you do it! 

Dems could crush republicans right now and force them to become a real political party benefiting America if Biden would get off his high horse. Obama tried the niceness and politeness, they laughed in his face. These people understand only one thing! It's not like they have the interlect to retaliate either otherwise they would have come up with policies and decapitated Trump when they had the chance. 

Do you have any idea how pitiful republican supporters must be and we are giving them respect? They are being grifted daily by the big lie and still haven't caught on! It's like a drug addict child stealing you blind every day, walking out of the house with your TV and gaslighting you with, I'm only taking it to be repaired and you believing, despite the fact that you don't have anything left because every day, they cart something else off with the same line! 

The amount of lies that republicans have told their supporters and they still fall for it! Covid, reduce taxes, swamp, Trump won, and on and on!

What about the gene pool though? 

They can easily produce the next Einstein or Gandhi and them dying off reduces that possibility. That's the problem with evolution, the mutation that could produce the next world savior, can as easily come from the most extreme radicalized Muslim or maniacal white supremacist. 

You can't produce geniuses through education or science, which is why evolution works so well. That next person who will produce the genes or proteins that will eliminate cancer or the cure for alzheimer or the formula to redress the next big problem of climate change can come from the poorest region in the world as easily from the offspring Ted Cruz unfortunately. 

Other than that, I say the smartest and fittest survive. Note, I didn't mention strongest! I don't believe even slightly that strength is applicable in human survival. It's always the cleverest! 

 

In NYC, doctors are studying the "SuperJew" phenomenon.  Why is it that holocaust survivors who were severely deprived of calories while also being psychologically traumatized, live to be so old?  It defies the general belief about severe malnourishment in early childhood.  I'm being flippant here but I think the gene pool would be improved if all the anti-vaxxers died.  How could the gene pool   improve if they all lived long enough to reproduce?  Is it worth producing more low IQ people to gain a few smart ones when it's more likely that smart people will produce fewer lower IQ people?  Nature is cruel and doesn't encourage survival of the stupid (which these people are since we can assume that a certain percentage will die or become disabled).  And, of course, EQ is underrated because many smart people have terrible lives because they have none and many people with low IQ's can be delightful.

Did Trump just call his children, 'Garbage'? 

He said that he only produced garbage re people he hired. Doesn't his children all work for him?

Trump described by Putin as mentally unbalanced, unstable and impulsive!

Can you believe it? This from a man who is a serial murderer, who from an early age acted pretty much like Trump in childhood, bullying kids, in gangs, inferiority complex and delusionally wanting to be Russia's James Bond when he grew up. 

Guess it takes one to know one?

Florida is 3rd in population in the country.   DeSantis must have known bad news was coming in the numbers on Friday because says prior he published "Don't Fauci my state".  Florida releases numbers only weekly now.  

However, at this point I don't blame DeSantis all that much.  He perhaps should be doing more to promote the vaccine, but vaccines are widely available to anyone that wants one any time for free without waiting in multiple outlets and there is outreach door to door, and can be administered in people's homes.  

I blame the increase in covid cases here on the unvaccinated.  Studies have shown that counties that voted for Trump here have lower vaccination rates and clearly as a state that went for Trump as a whole it's inevitable that cases here jump with our low vaccination rates.

@Tweety do you think that a governor has a leadership role? Isn't it a failure of leadership if the prevailing attitude in a state dismisses pandemic mitigation or vaccination? Or maybe leadership is measured in depth of Trump support in "conservative" led states.

I just read that republicans respond better to people dressed in blue or red. I must be a seriously naive person. 

I know people have likes and dislikes, I just never considered that something that simple would sway people re a politician who will affect their lives in some meaningful way. It's like having an medical emergency and deciding if the person responding must be white or of a certain age etc. 

I remember reading about "the politics of handsome" or something like that.   That being handsome helps but isn't everything.   I can't seem to find the article but it was a long time ago.  Looks somehow have a psychological impact.  

But that's interesting about the colors.  Didn't Palin wear a lot of red?  The MAGA hat is red as well.
