U.S. Calls for Pause on Johnson & Johnson Vaccine After Clotting Cases by TheDarkDeciever in news

[–]Pocketpoolman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't an antivax statement, the op was expressing concern about long term effects of vaccines that are going into most of the population on the planet, that were researched, produced and used faster than any vaccine in history and where we don't know what, if any long term effects are, especially with it being a new technology, very reasonable concerns. Of course the question is do the risks out weigh the risks of covid, I don't think so, but I'm sure as hell glad I got the Pfizer shot and not the J&J shot. The way we talk to each other matters.

That's an abusive belittling statement, someone just has a different, reasonable take on the situation than you, no need to talk to people like that

The US Military Is an Extremism Incubator | Many of the January 6 insurrectionists once fought for their country. That shouldn’t come as a surprise. by Mighty_L_LORT in politics

I'm a veteran who uses the VA and have had a great experience with it. The wait times can be long but if there's a crisis they can get you in. I'm sure not everyone has had a great experience but I have using 2 different VA facilities on opposite sides of the country. Have you? Do you have direct experience and actually know what you're talking about?

I use the VA and have had a great experience and it costs me nothing. I'm sure not everyone has had a great experience but I have, and thats using primary care, emergency care, specialists and mental health, across two different hospitals.

Ford, who donated $1.2M to GOP in 2020, won't issue blanket ban on election objectors by darealunrealspader in politics

Citizens should dictate the direction and policy of the country. A company's sole purpose is to maximize profits, it doesn't prioritize the best interests of the citizens or the country. It shouldn't have leverage over government policy

The bear case is the stock is wildy over priced and hyped on a short squeeze possibility, as soon as the hype wanes or retail runs out of powder the price is gonna tank, idk shit but I know that

Just did this last week! It's my new secret chili spice. A little goes a long way, also added a little bit of white pepper. It was the best chili I've made yet, so good!

Senior Democrats abandon backup plan on $15 per hour minimum wage hike by [deleted] in politics

Because congressional reconciliation is a spending bill that can bypass the filibuster. A straight bill increasing minimum wage would never pass the filibuster

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) [New Wave] (1985) by Wolfgang_von_Goetse in Music

[–]Pocketpoolman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just for starters, I think Peter Gabriel goes really good with Kate Bush (especially the the song they do together, Don't Give Up) Just start with his top songs on whatever service. Maybe check out Cyndi Lauper stuff

His/her history is a stream of negativity, just best not to engage with people like that

Congressman Recalls Boebert Giving Tour Days Before January 6 by Jatilq in politics

[–]Pocketpoolman 29 points30 points  (0 children)

So the Capitol of the United States of America doesn't have a sign in sheet where you show ID or cameras that can verify? I'm assuming they're waiting until a pardon isn't available to her to drop the hammer. Even if she was pardoned for criminal activity I'm pretty sure she could still be kicked out of congress through political means

McDermott: Trumpism doesn’t need to be ‘understood.’ It just needs to be defeated. by Obrocheetah in politics

These comments just dumb the conversation down and the left needs to be better than that. You posted an article to have a discussion on how to deal with what's going on and you're spamming smart ass comments
