I actually don’t think this is dumb. In any other industry you can be held liable for what you say, edit, or publish.

I still don’t support Biden but those tech platforms are toxic and they have loopholes in laws that lets them get away with it. Imagine if there was Facebook in Nazi Germany.

Does Bernie Sanders really want this Fox News host as his champion?

For most of the day on Wednesday, #CNNisTrash was among the top trending topics on Twitter thanks to Bernie Sanders supporters unhappy with the way their candidate was treated at the previous night’s debate. Fox News host Tucker Carlson is right th…[Read more]

Aaron Mate Tweeted the clip.

CNN just aired the post-debate Sanders-Warren exchange. Both accuse the other of calling the other a liar. Warren intitiated. The fact that this was done on stage w/ camera & audio, and the fact that Warren’s camp started this whole thing, makes me wonder if they staged this too. pic.twitter.com/TRv5lunZJs

(CNN)The light from a medical marijuana farm filled the sky over Snowflake, Arizona, with a strange, purple glow on a recent foggy morning.

Cara Smith took a picture of the scene about 6:30 a.m. Friday on her way to work at Copperstate Farms, the largest medical marijuana wholesaler in the state.

She lives about two miles west of the farm and…[Read more]

JonLP started the topic Trump Privately Obsessed With Bernie Sanders’ Popularity and Socialism’s Appeal in the forum General Discussion 3 days ago

In public, President Donald Trump has fixated on mocking Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) as “crazy” and has focused on assuring supporters of how badly he’d crush the left-wing senator in a general election and protect them from Sanders’ creeping socialism.

In private, Trump has often expressed different worries about the 2020 candidate.

In the pas…[Read more]

I heard about this from a Cardinals message board of all places. They neglected to mention it was Focus of the Family of all groups but there was bashing of LGBT and support of bathroom bills all because people objected to his support for a homophobic church. They were also general stuff about freedom of speech but at the same time objected to…[Read more]

Playoffs without Brees or Brady which is great for me.

The reason why I don’t like Brees is because he described Guantanamo as a great place.

You don’t have to make Hillary Clinton the 2nd choice. This system usually elects the least hated so I’m sure Trump or Clinton would be on a lot of person’s last choice.

As family physicians, we are no strangers to mental health care. In fact, my most common diagnoses (after “health maintenance”) are anxiety and depression. Every day, I see patients who are struggling with sleep, appetite, concentration and energy. These are hallmarks of mental health issues. Committing a mass shooting is not.

That’s why it’s…[Read more]

I don’t think I gave my DNA or that it was even asked while I was in. I remember receiving shots but that is about it.

My SS number is all over paperwork sitting somewhere in the Army but I don’t think my DNA is.

Actually it is the easy access to guns. A lot of states have more liberal gun laws like Arizona.

I get sick of living in this country sometimes. One thing is for sure it is not mental illness as mentally ill are 5x more likely to be victims of violence than the general population and politicians want to take their right to defend themselves…[Read more]

I also seen the same confusion expressed at the other place which prompted me to start this OP as this isn’t the first time I have seen someone express confusion.

To me as someone who is very progressive it makes perfect sense why she would endorse Bernie Sanders. It is about policies and ideology.

I think Democratic Socialists of America has a better strategy than the Greens for exactly those reasons. Bernie Sanders and AOC are examples.
