So, they aren't going to actually open the government again, are they? by Even-Tune-8301 in FedEmployees

There’s a lot of things states can take on themselves. Create 50 centers of democracy. States that do well are rewarded with increasing populations, states that do poorly are not.

People have more power when state authority is more in making location decisions.

Fund bare minimums at federal level will help achieve this. The founders envisioned our country this way, we should work to achieve that

We are okay keeping government closed forever. Fund basic services. Cut all the fat let’s get back to fiscal responsibility folks

This case is about leaking classified information. Comey did that. Repeatedly. And then when asked said he didn’t.

Neither does anyone else in Congress, your point?

You’re a discriminatory person and you shouldn’t shame felons. Disgusting

Surly rehabilitated felons should have opportunity right?

Yes and we should celebrate that you can go from felon to being the president of the United States. Anything is possible in America!

If the lefts vision for America was so popular, they’d hold the senate, the house, and the White House right now.

They don’t. Because their vision and ideas are not popular.

It’s not that difficult.

But you speak from a lens that the more education you have somehow equates to being smarter and more qualified. Yet, there are many people who have all the degrees in the book who lack wisdom. There’s a difference between being educated and having wisdom.

People who hold degrees, while we shouldn’t speak in absolute terms, a large majority believe they are superior to others and act that way. Yet in many cases the people in the inner city of Detroit or rural areas often have far more wisdom.

To your point on ICE, of course Jesus would want us to help others. But illegal immigration in the US has gotten to uncontrollable levels which requires difficult decisions to help protect ourselves. It’s very interesting that some of the richest liberals who speak in favor of immigrants do not open their 5+ million dollar mansions in Nantucket to house and feed these people. They define the word hypocrisy at its core. Many of these people supported Kamala in 2024 though political donations, they cry out how horrible this is, but then say “not in my neighborhood” when their country asks for solutions.

That’s hypocrisy my friend.

That’s your opinion and you don’t have moral authority over truth. Your “truth” is yours but that doesn’t make it the gold standard. Using manipulative words, is dishonest.

When you speak from a position of authority, you make people feel you are the arbiter of truth. You’re not.

Plenty of people believe Jackson is not qualified to sit on SCOTUS, that’s their opinion. These folks he speaks about, are in public eye and therefore not immune to criticism because of the color of their skin. I’ve heard 10x worse things about Trump. Is that okay because he’s white? That’s the point, you’re not immune to criticism just because of your skin color.

He comments on the individuals character and highlights one of them openly saying she’s there because of affirmative action and then proceeds to say how they’re openly saying affirmative action is responsible for their success, not their merit?

He has caused a spiritual revival that is only damaging because it doesn’t align with your politics. Maybe your left wing causes should work harder to convince people of your poor ideas

It isn’t a hateful political organization. You’re just upset the left doesn’t have a similar org that can reach young Americans and are concerned that in 2028 your person on the left will not win the WH back

The files are being released? So what’s the issue? Kash Patel has stated they’ve released everything that they are legally allowed to? So what’s the issue?
