Theyve returned the hostages right? Did we forget about the hostages?

How many non-Americans died as a result of 9/11? How many in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in the global war on terror? I’m guessing a shit ton more than 30,000.

It’s only going to increase every day the hostages aren’t returned.

There are more than two parties – math checks out

That’s what they’d like you to think. If everyone moved a few check boxes down on the ballot, we’d have anyone else. Break free! It feels good 😊

(This never actually happened but I think the idea holds)

This might be an instance where a good portion of the country might actually agree that the two major party candidates are jackasses. I remain hopeful.

Well, you sir are a free thinker. Claim your prize in the ruins of democracy.

My plan is to pick a check box without the name Biden or Trump, or maybe write someone in. Being institutionalized into thinking a vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump is a pathway to madness

Is your plan to vote based on how everyone else votes? Seems like a great way to reinforce a two party system.

There are other choices. We don’t have to settle for Trump or Biden.

Darn, if they had only built the tunnels, fired the rockets and stored the ammunition away from population centers before taking all those hostages…

How many successful filmmakers, authors and musicians do you know personally? Let’s keep the bar real low: ones that can feed themselves and retire without supplemental income from a spouse that does something more pragmatic?

I was a Physicist before leaving for industry. What would you like to know about how science works and how it is funded?

Do you know what prosecutors do?

You do realize part of their job is to instill doubt, right? It’s not a mistake to push a narrative in a trial.

If I were a prosecutor, I’d be pressing that question too – not a hard question to ask in the context of everything else on that laptop: admissions of smoking crack, videos of smoking crack while speeding etc.

Genocide would look like carpet bombing Gaza with MOABs

It’s a tough call. I was as liberal as it gets on my 20s, now I’m in my 40s. I see a lot of people bitching about inequality, injustice etc. that acquired a ton of student loan debt to major in subjects that would very clearly not land them a job.

Socially, still very liberal. Fiscally? Stop wasting my tax dollars on anything that’s not defense or legit scientific research.

You can self-terminate at will

Probably more lockdowns than facemasks (at least how people were using them)
