Speaking of which the Jerry Jones is telling his players to stand. He must have seen a dip in the ratings. Cause Jones could give a *** about police brutality.

It's just business as usual with horse race politics political football. No genuine moral compass or concern for victims. Just an opportunity to score points on a board that has no bearing on politics or the average persons daily life.

Remember that time Vice President Pence spent like $250,000 of taxpayer money just to leave a Colts game.

Well, it was a historic moment. It's the first time in history liberals have cared about the government wasting taxpayer money.

Well... it's fairly relevant since the death of 4 green berets in Niger last week is not receiving the same level of haranguing.

Let's not act too high and mighty here. No politician, liberal or conservative, gives a ***about wasting taxpayer money. They're all just bickering about how and where to spend it and which citizens to take it from.

Liberal citizens think all the excess military spending is wasting money.

Conservatives think all the entitlement programs are a waste of public money.

Fake libertarians think using money for anything except police and military is a waste of public money.

Real libertarians think spending money on anything but their own sex robot is a waste of money.

I probably lean more towards libertarian mostly cause I don't think the government should interfere. But good luck getting elected as that.

I don't think that entitlement programs are a waste.

I think that those, along with military funding other than soldiers, are prone to waste and fraud. Waste in this concept meaning not the best use of the program's money, not "this money should be used exclusively for bumping up <insert department>'s budget."

I think that the government has a responsibility to help those who are temporarily or permanently in need. Temporarily meaning those between jobs but actually looking. Permanently meaning those who can't fend for themselves (the disabled, the HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, and the elderly).

Those who live off of the government but can better themselves on their own are the real leeches, not those who are in need today but not tomorrow, or those who are missing limbs or marbles or time.

Also, government workers/bureaucrats aren't exactly the best people to make the decisions on who's able and who's not....

AI is still not good enough, as the limitations are still determined by humans.

Naw, what I mean by removing opportunity is just that, remove the opportunity to steal or defraud. Then again, you also have to have a desire and need to steal from somebody, but those aren't controllable.

Unfortunately elites use those same opportunities to line their pockets, then distract everyone by pointing to a boogeyman.

Seems Trump is bound and determined to be the first president removed for unconstitutional behavior. He just threatened to pull the licenses of any major news organization that speaks poorly of him.

Sorry. I needed the most classic Republican I could think of on the forum and your number came up. I'd have used Rav but I was consider using him along with Fone in the sex robot example.

And we both know all I really wanted out of that was to make a sex robot joke.

But still. You missed a good one!
