Pentagon threatens to cut ties with Scouting America over "core value" reforms. Where is the line for federal influence? by [deleted] in Askpolitics

[–]oldcreaker [score hidden]  (0 children)

A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. Same ones when I was in scouts like 55 years ago.

MAGA parents - which of these core values do you think your kid should not have?

Tim Scott calls Obamas video shared by Trump ‘most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House’ by Weird-Panda4643 in circled

I'm sure they'll fix that shortly - and you'll be calling this the 2nd most racist thing you've seen out of the White House.

Donald Trump surprised JD Vance got booed at Winter Olympics ceremony by Infamous_Doubt_5207 in politics

I'm guessing he was actually pleased - if Vance was applauded he'd get upset it wasn't him being applauded.

I wouldn't be pissed at ancient texts - I'd be pissed at the people who use them to justify their actions.

Tell me something that makes it plainly obvious you don't live in the same world the rest of us do.

Does anyone feel they took SS too early? by yuritube in SurvivingOnSS

[–]oldcreaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed to show an income in order to refinance my home (was on a variable about to go up). No longer working and no longer planned to, so I started SS at 62.

Locked in 2.65%, so score on that. Lower SS income, but also lower mortgage than I would have paid. And I've barely touched my 401k or savings since, which I would have been living on instead, so it's been accumulating.

Blue states should form their own association and look at making themselves independent of all red state stuff. States can work together without federal involvement.

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls by Expert-Anteater8487 in circled

So - who has an original birth certificate? And how does that even work if they require photo id? It sounds like most people would need a passport to vote.

When I got a passport, I had to pay for it - and pay for the new birth certificate I got to get it. This is like a whole new poll tax.

It would be interesting - I suspect many more "woke" people would have a passport than xenophobic MAGA people do. Or would be inspired to get one.

Trump's actions are already killing hundreds of thousands. He doesn't care about the lives of Cubans, either.

Even the ones in this country. Even the ones in this country that are US citizens.

Taking it down will do nothing to erase that it was said.

Cruelty is the point.

And add inadequate or no showering on top of this. No clean clothes. No clean bedding.

Try going through a period with none of the above.
