  • People are saying that donald has aphasia, he can't pronounce certain words, due to either old age or disease (syphilis). It's sad that the republicans have no one else to run for president. I'm hearing that he should step down as a candidate and get the help he needs.

  • But you can leave. That's a big difference between the two. If you feel bad, you can just sit down for a rest. I'm sure you got lunch too.

    I don't know why you're trying to say your job was the same as a prison cell.

  • No, I think you are confusing the two kinds of trusts: a revocable trust means you still own the money or property, an irrevocable trust means you don't own it anymore. Either you "give it away" in an irrevocable trust (which can't be "dissolved"), or you don't give it away (in a revocable trust).

    You are describing putting something in a revocable trust, which is not spending it or giving it away. It's closer to just putting a label on it: "this money is for charity". You don't get a tax deduction unless you put the money in a irrevocable charitable trust or the charity actually receives the money (from any source, trust, whatever).

  • He's dropping in the polls, especially against her. Maybe some people are too young to remember, but candidates usually gain like 10% in the polls after a failed assassination. Or 5% after the convention. And their Vice Presidential Candidate gains after the convention too.

    Trump literally had no assassination or convention bump. His ceiling is less than 50% of voters. Kamala Harris has seen a large bump just from jumping into the race. Some swing state polls went from +8 or +10 trump earlier this year, to only +2 against Kamala.

    She's only made one speech as the potential candidate! Believe me, she's going to be on top by the day of the debate.

  • I don't know if you understand. People are donating and volunteering, for Kamala Harris. You don't want more participation, You just want people to support your personally chosen candidate (who remains nameless).

  • I thought you were going to say:

    "Is that really the best we can hope for? 'Working on social and political causes to help see people and policies you like make it to the top'?"

    And I was like "yeah, it is the best we can hope for".

  • You have to line up musket troops to give them orders too. There's no radio and you have to shout over the noise and smoke.

    Remember, these are black powder guns. They're loud. If your troops are right next to each other you can more easily direct them to fire, advance, or retreat. Advancing or retreating quickly can take advantage of enemy weaknesses and break up the opposing army. If your guys are spread out, you can't tell them anything.

  • Lining up and shooting was the best way to use inaccurate muskets. One guy can't shoot accurately at all, plus it takes lots of time to reload after each shot.

    So you line up 20 dudes and have them shoot 5 or 10 at a time. That makes it more likely to hit something with each volley, and protects the guys who are reloading. The main skill for soldiers wasn't aiming, it was reloading quickly.

  • most people appear to support these transfers around here as long as it is their "team" getting them.

    I mean, that's what politics is. You make a good point about "Reason" being a crappy source, but handouts to different industries are intended to help those industries. That's the point.

    If you don't like it: vote, volunteer, donate, etc.

  • Well that actually is in the Constitution, so you're kinda right. The first amendment promises "freedom of association" which is exactly what these parties are doing. They're choosing who to associate with as their candidate for president. They are voting, the delegates I mean.

    The other guy is just upset because they didn't personally ask him. But I guarantee he doesn't donate to or volunteer for any local candidates.

  • India is not a good example of a well run country.

    The fact is, the US Government is the largest and most complicated organization on the planet. It has the most power of any country and controls the world's single largest economy, upon which most other countries depend (especially the developed ones).

    That's why it takes longer. We don't want to fuck it up. The UK has some real cabbage head PMs cycling through, and shot themselves in the foot by leaving the EU. That's not the best way to argue for your method of government.
