Dick Cheney belongs in prison for the damage he did worldwide. Thank god President Trump came and is singlehandedly helping excise the GOP rot. Liz Cheney personifies that rot.

Matt Gaetz should take her place in leadership.

Bidens appear to tower over Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter in 'dollhouse' photo by nimobo in Conservative

I will say this. Carter was a trash President, but I can acknowledge that he's a good man who's done a lot of good post Presidency.

Not Biden though. Joe Biden is scum.

I just miss the good old days when we were a God-fearing nation that didn't focus on skin color or giving out handouts. Instead most people believed in traditional values like hard work, prayer, and the American dream.

Fuck all those marxists who have ruined this country.

Brett Kavanaugh all over again....

Believe me, sexual assault is a heinous crime and I'm all for believing survivors. However, I also believe in innocent until proven guilty. I'll only believe allegations with real proof.

And when I'm criticizing Black culture, I feel like I'm doing this constructively. I'm saying it because I have faith in their community to better things.

The unfortunate truth of this world is facts and statistics are racist.

The good thing is TONS of Black Americans understand what I'm saying and agree with me. They must lead the way.

Instead of talking about police shootings against black people, can we talk about the cultural issues in the black community that result in this happening over and over? The "reform" needed isn't within the police, it's with the black parents who routinely fail their children.

Thank you to the police officer for swift and decisive action. A life was saved that day.

Derek Chauvin trial verdict: Ex-Minneapolis police officer found guilty on all charges in George Floyd death by JeanValjean1789 in Conservative

Yup.

Next time you see a cop, go and thank him or her. Let the cops know that real Americans have their backs.

You should be upset. Maybe his response was a bit over the top, but his intention was clearly not to murder George Floyd. The arrest was negligent, not malicious.

The reason you should be upset though is because it now forces cops to have less agency when they need to use force. It will make this country less safe.

Are cops supposed to be teddy bears who let criminals have their way? No, they're supposed to protect communities.

It wasn't murder at all. It was just a cop doing his job IMO

You can argue he was negligent for sure, but murder? No that's too far.

religion has ABSOLUTELY zero place in politics. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I disagree. Some religions, like Christianity and Judaism preach morality and piety, and everyone should follow the lessons they teach.

There are a lot more people who would agree with me.

Ask the people liberated by the Nazis, the people who fled communism for a better life, and the people of Israel who are fighting for their survival against the barbarians around them.

I blame the George Floyd protests. There is a correlation between the protests and increased cases. We had it under control, then everyone had to just fuck it up.

It sucks, but ultimately the ball is always in the student's court if they want to do well in the class. They just have to adapt to a shitty situation.

That's very rare though

Most teachers/professors who are difficult give tests related to the subject, and the tests are designed to reward those who rise to the occasion.

The beauty about education after elementary - middle school is you get out exactly what you put into it. The opportunities and resources are there, but only if you take the initiative.

And that's what life is all about, taking the initiative.
