[@roymandina8061]

"Forgets slavery?" THAT'S ALL THAT'S EVER TALKED ABOUT! Slavery ended more than 150 years ago but some people want to just keep rehashing it. But all the other slavery......like the slavery of white people in the past, and the slavery that's happening right now in Africa and in Asia.....THAT IS WHAT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT!

[@Celisar1]

Then how come it’s getting talked about all the time? And what exactly would you want to be different?

[@OmANnIe]

@@roymandina8061 Slavery is spoken about because the bigoted mindset that led white people to committ slavery still exists. With Trump/MAGA & the GOP, many of these racists are no longer making attempts to hide their hate. If we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

The story about the pigs is LITERALLY the plot of Olivia Wilde's "The Lazarus Effect"

[@rainstromme1203]

@@ashleybenson8688 that movie is amayzing. Its like a blend of House and Lucy (with scarjo) because it waxes poetically about the question of unlocking the ability to use MORE than only 10% of our brain (at any one time) By the end of the movie, Olivia just basically becomes pure energy who can take humyn form whenever she wants.

That Lawyer didn’t make a mistake, he knew exactly what he was doing when he stopped Alex Jones from successfully committing perjury.

[@mightymystery9204]

If he realized he did it, the lawyer could have been complicit, if he withheld means of proof. The lawyer could not say he lied, but he could justifiably provide means for the prosecutor to impeach the lie. It's a fine line. I wish more lawyers had such integrity. It's one thing to change emphasis or get truths excluded, a thing lawyers do by skill, but a lie is an insult to a lawyer's skill, and a risk to his reputation.

Congratulation, Kansas...and THANK YOU! You hear that, every other state? We can still change it back to actual freedom for women to make their own choices about their bodies, but we need to GET OUT THERE AND VOTE BLUE!

Killing babies is not a choice. They should be protected and we need to give a voice for the voiceless.

[@lindsayhiner9339]

Okay personally I have some Democratic views and some Republican views, the idea of "vote blue!" seems like something to divide us further and force some views on some people. Personally I believe that as a woman I should have a right over my body, but I respect others opinions and how morally challenging that argument can be on both sides.

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

@@lindsayhiner9339 ...I say vote blue, because none of the Republicans running are saying yes to choice...thus if one wants to vote for choice, Democrat is the only way currently.

[@oskarkuelz2706]

@@lindsayhiner9339 "Personally I believe that as a woman I should have a right over my body, but I respect others opinions" - that's what I do not understand. Isn't it more like this: You could be pro abortion or anti abortion, that is, if you are pregnant and do not want to be you'll have to decide if you get the baby or terminate the pregnancy. And I can see both points of view there, too. But I do not see why I (or anybody else) should tell those whose business this is, what to do. I can be a catholic, a jew or an atheist, all fair. But why would anyone have the power to decide what you or I can be? It's their body, they have to choose. I can give my opinion when asked but I wouldn't dare force it on someone.

[@Bakamoichigei]

To be fair, I understand the reasoning behind patching the wall... If there's a full-on gap there, migrants are more likely to attempt the crossing there, even knowing the river is dangerous to cross. Without the gap, there's no reason to risk crossing at _that_ location. No one seems to be claiming it 100% stops people, but it stands to reason that in this case it nudges the risk/reward ratios enough to dissuade them from crossing in that specific spot, which is more or less what they _are_ claiming is the intent. 🤔

[@mtaylor7307]

Biden succeeded where Trump failed in getting Mexico to agree to pay for 1.5 billion in "smart" border technology. The walls Trump rebuilt were easier to climb and have fallen over in high wind storms and he only extended this bad wall design about 80 miles.

[@mlemons1970]

@@eMPee584 Perhaps you should build one from the border, directly to your house. I personally don't want millions of people coming from over a 100 countries entering our country without being properly vetted. That would be the equivalent of removing criminal background checks on the people who work at your child's daycare or those who are in charge of you savings account.🙄

[@Bakamoichigei]

@@eMPee584 Yeah, but a bridge would cost at minimum 10x more. And being seen to be effectively _encouraging_ illegal border crossings is not a viable policy position. 😬 This course of action is cheaper and doesn't come with the same political baggage. At the same time only _discouraging_ crossings in _that_ area, which is known to be dangerous. This is one of those "best you can do with the hand you've been dealt" type compromises. 🤷‍♂️
