Republican Leadership Is A Threat To America

[SmokingFap]

You didn't have to sacrifice everything to build it. That's my point.

I've been smart enough not to have to sacrifice everything to build a successful business. That's MY point.

You don't live in the real world where brick and mortar factories have to build buildings and pay for machines and pay for employees and have cost involving product and product breakage and replacing and all the things that cost the owners everything.

I do live in the real world, I don't know what the rest of this was supposed to mean. Did you have a point here?

You have never had to deal with situations where you were paying yourself minimal because you had a business to invest into. You said an online business to consult with businesses or whatever and then you call it capitalism. The digital world that cost you nothing but time.... You have no idea what real business owners deal with.

I am a real business owner. I never said anything about online. I do not do much with online marketing, most of mine is traditional media. It has cost me real money and real time to build. And it's real capitalism. Supply and demand. So go fuck yourself.

The ones who are sick and tired of having people who sacrifice nothing tell them how they should run their business when they sacrifice everything. You would not tolerate that. Not if you would ever had to actually sacrifice anything in order to have a business operating and to make a profit.

Again, I was smart enough not to mortgage my house or have to sell everything I own to start my business. And I have to operate my business within the law. Not always pleasant, but that's what one has to do, even in a capitalist society.

And I don't give the first crap about whether or not the law says it's legal to fire people on strike. If I own a business that I have sacrificed everything to build, and a group of lazy, good for nothing jackasses, who think they know how to run my business better than I know how to run my business are going on strike refusing to work and about to put my business out of commission, when what's that business shuts down they'll just go somewhere else and do the same BS, you better believe I care a whole lot more about making my business succeed then they're whiny little snowflake asses. And yes I will find a way around the law to fire them.

So you're admitting to being a criminal. Cool, cool. Good luck with that.

And yes I will hire people who won't unionize and act like jackasses. Because they have no investment in my company, I do. The only people who have rightful say over what happens in a company are the people who own and operate it. You don't like it leave the company. You don't sit there and throw a hissy fit and stop on the floor and lay on the ground and refuse to move and hold your breath until you turn blue until they give you what you want. Unions are a bunch of childish, immature, socialists.

You really need to look up what the word "socialist" means. And I dare you to call a UAW worker childish and immature to his face in a bar.

Everything you listed there, there are already laws in place on the books and being enforced to deal with those. I never said no regulations and guardrails. I said very extremely limited regulations and guardrails. Government's job is not to regulate business. Government's job is only to protect the liberty of the individual, to punish wrongdoers who act violently and wrongly against the innocent, and to leave the innocent free to act freely to do what they believe is right. That's it. That's the federal government's job. That's all they should be doing.

Yes. And all of those regulations are to protect the individual against the wrongdoings of businesses. You do understand that, right?

If you believe they should be doing more than that then you're edging toward Marxism and a philosophy that says the government's job is to take care of the citizens from the cradle to the grave.

You need to look up the definition of Marxism, as well. It has nothing to do with government regulating the actions of private businesses.

It's not the government's job to ensure a paycheck for me. It's my job to go out and look for work and to bust my ass at work.

So you're not currently working?

It's not some Union's job to guarantee I get a pay raise every so many months. It's my job to impress my boss so much that he's going to give me the raise because I proved my value. If that's not the kind of boss I have I am free to go find another one. That's free market capitalism. It works. Only marxists and socialists believe that the government should get in the middle of that.

You seem to be conflating unions and the government. And get out your dictionary for those other two words again. They do not mean what you think they do. Make sure you don't look the words up online on a website that cost its owners nothing but time. In your book, they aren't real business owners anyway, so don't abandon your morals and support them. Get a paperback dictionary from a real business owner. You might want to get a highlighter, too.

And are YOU a real business owner? You sure don't sound like one. You're just ranting and raving about hypothetical issues and situations that you don't seem to have ever experienced. So please, tell us about the real business that you own that you sacrificed everything for and have product breakage and all the things that cost you everything and has enough employees that they might unionize for you to illegally fire them.

Dismissed.

Tennessee Republican leaders threaten to withhold funds as Memphis preps to put guns on the ballot

Tennessee’s top Republican leaders on Monday threatened to withhold tens of millions of dollars in state funding from left-leaning Memphis should leaders continue with plans to place three local gun control initiatives on the November ballot.

Earlier this year, Memphis’ city council approved asking voters in November if they wanted to tweak the city charter to require permits to carry a handgun, ban the possession of AR-15 style rifles and implement a so-called “red flag” ordinance, which allows law enforcement officials to remove firearms from those found to be an imminent danger to themselves or others.

Letting the people vote on things is unacceptable, according to Republicans.

"I wanna get a law passed […] You burn an American flag, you go to jail for one year. Gotta do it - you gotta do it," Trump said.

"They say, ‘Sir, that's unconstitutional.' We'll make it constitutional."

People may tell Trump that jailing anyone who burns the flag is unconstitutional because burning the flag is protected by the First Amendment. In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. Johnson that while the desecration of the flag may be objectionable, "If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."

if there wasn't so much hard and desperate work going on behind the scenes by the American gov't attempting to get the ceasefire deal, I'm convinced there would be a whole lot more being said about netanyahu's deliberate obstruction of the peace deal. While he's still needing to be coralled into doing the necessary things to get hostages home, the US Gov't is likely holding back. President Biden stated briefly and tersely that he (netanyahu) was not doing enough. In a better world, netanyahu would be out of the frame and serious progress could be achieved by his rival to power (as well as the replacement of the ben giv'rs and others wanting total annihilation of Palestinians).

While his polling with women begins to sink, Donald Trump praised his supporters’s husbands for “allowing” their wives to attend his campaign rallies without them.

“Somebody said, ‘Women don’t like Donald Trump,’” he said from a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on August 30. “I said, ‘I think that’s wrong. I think they love me.’ I love them.”

He pointed to a group of women from North Carolina who have traveled to 227 rallies.

“They’re wealthy as hell. Look at them. They’ve got nothing but cash,” he added. “Their husbands are great. But they allow them to go all over the country.

independently wealthy women traveling where they want to? oh. my. god. I wonder how many of those same women laughed first (because it was their orange idol saying it) but then thought about it and DIDN'T laugh at the notion they needed to be 'allowed' to.

nuthin' to see here, folks, nuthin' at all:

Behind closed doors, former president Donald Trump and his advisers have been talking for months about forming a commission led by prominent business executives to comb through the government books to identify thousands of programs to cut.

Lately, one particularly famous candidate has made clear he’d be up for it: Elon Musk. And he may have much to gain personally from the endeavor.

On several occasions, including on X, the social media platform he owns, the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive has expressed interest in being part of a “government efficiency commission” aimed at eliminating wasteful regulations and spending. Musk in August posted an apparently artificial intelligence-generated image of himself behind a lectern labeled “Department of Government Efficiency,” with the acronym DOGE — a meme-based cryptocurrency Musk has previously embraced.

*really dumb image*

it must be hard for you, living in such fear every day

scared of a woman
scared of her skin color
scared of her power
scared of her ability and intellect

some people like you turn to real life violence against women in order to bolster their own sense of worth. I hope you don't go that route

Geez, I guess I'm a more forgiving person than you in this instance.
I make it a point to stay away from selling any kind of food to fund charitable organizations. Samoas would not last an hour in my home.
I've seen pics of Robinson. Sorry, but he is not an embezzling thief here. I know exactly where that 3k worth of Girl Scout cookies went.

Really not sure what your problem is here. If I have never been married I have no basis to be your marriage counselor. If I have never struggled with addiction I probably don't have much to say about how you can get over yours. I, as a man, and probably not the counselor you want to go to for women's issues. A woman, because she does not understand from personal experience what men deal with, is not going to be very good as a counselor for men's issues. This is just common sense. If a person does not have the experience of raising children themselves, they are not as likely to be as effective in training and teaching children as someone who has children themselves. Again, this is common sense. But then again, common sense is the very thing your site ignores.
