Ben Carson is a perfect example of how someone can be utterly brilliant in one specific area, and completely deficient in others. No one would dispute that he was an amazing brain surgeon. However once you step outside of that realm, his faculties are quickly found to be... somewhat lacking.

Because many cops realize that they cannot be everywhere at once and in many rural communities cops are more often than not too far away to do anything about a crime except write a report after the fact. Also keep in mind that the Supreme Court has affirmed that police have no actual duty to protect you or stop crimes…
Look up how much money the NRA actually spends and donates to candidates. It’s hilariously small compared to almost any of the other hot button special interest groups you can think of, and far less than other not so obvious groups. Like beer brewers.
But if the sheriffs don’t enforce the laws, the country’s rampant gun violence epidemic will continue unabated.
Man, it’s almost as if intersectional identity politics and trying to enforce equality of outcome is all bullshit.
I’ll explain this as simply as I can. The people obsessed with AOC on both sides have one thing in common: They want to bang her. She’s young and attractive. The words coming out of her mouth are secondary, and as soon as she either stops being useful or stops being pretty, whichever comes first, she’ll shrink back…
Man, it’s almost as if people advocating for direct cash payouts are at best ignorant of the consequences, or at worst, know full well that it would be treated as a one time band-aid to say “See folks, racism’s over!”
I’d pump the brakes on comparing him to AOC and calling her on-the-spot intelligent. She’s said several things that were flat out wrong, bizarrely so in some cases.
As I said on another post, whether Rep Omar is right or wrong is beside the point. That she is a Muslim being critical of Jewish or Israeli interests and relying on the tired and frankly racist trope that Jews use money to expand their influence is a very stupid mistake on her part. She’s lobbing people already…
I mean, it might have something to do with the fact that a Muslim critical of anything remotely Jewish or Israeli is an INCREDIBLY easy fucking target to play the racism card against whether she has a point or not. Personally I’d argue that supporting Israel has less to do with being the pocket of some big money…
Among the many things I don’t like, of which there are many, I can’t stand raw tomato or any actual tomato chunks in things. However, if I can’t detect any tomato texture, such as in tomato sauce, paste, or soup, I’m perfectly fine and enjoy all those things. Definitely a texture thing for me.
If he’s smart he’ll squelch any talk of gun control in his campaign so that it’s not a tentpole issue for people in the middle or Never Trumpers on the center right.
I don’t think I played either of the first two Crackdown games, but I’m finding this one to just be dumb fun. It’s like an 80's action movie, or a Michael Bay film. I just turn my brain off for a bit and enjoy the over-the-topness of it all and revel in blowing stuff up.
I dunno, maybe there’s something wrong with me, but I’m just having a heck of a time getting into it. The breaking weapons mechanic is, frankly, annoying.
I have serious doubts that the Democrats are winning the Senate any time soon.
The Soviets might be the runner up in all time number of Jews killed, but they still killed plenty of Jews. If anything it demonstrates that he actually has more knowledge of history than you’d expect, which in this instance is slightly frightening.
Man, good thing we don’t have a history of alienating and isolating people that express abhorrent viewpoints rather than attempting to educate and correct them. So glad that this obviously disturbed child will get the help and compassion he so desperately needs and not become a pariah and end up spiraling even further…
You must’ve been giddy at the mention of free food.
