I have never understood the birther thing. It wouldn’t matter where in the world Obama was born. His mom was a US citizen and had been since her birth.Ted Cruz not born in the US but Canada his mom was born a citizen while his father immigrated from Cuba. Nor was John McCain born in the US but in Panama at a US Naval Air Station.It’s just racism because Obama is black

why did he bring up a player of my high school football team? The Redmen. BTW while our school did associate with Native American Sassamon our team name was the idea of an announcer at our football games who gave the team the name due to our red uniforms and not meant to be a reference to native Americans. Though apparently the “tomahawk chop” became a thing at games. But now the school changed the team to the Redhawks

Technically not true. Its a violation of code to use an actual flag as clothing. Such as a cape. Representative flags, such as patches, are ok, its why our military has one on their uniform shoulder.

Just 15 states and Puerto Rico still have adultery as a crime on the books but rarely enforced. A few only recently decriminalized it. In 12 (Arizona, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Dakota, South Carolina, and Virginia) its a petty offense or misdemeanor. In Oklahoma, Michigan, and Wisconsin it’s a felony up to 5 years in prison in OK and 4 in MI. Also subject to court martial under the US Code of Military Justice (actively enforced)

Hmmm I drive a semi nowadays and I have not heard of that factoid. I have only heard it referenced as a DOT bumper. I’ve had a vehicle hit it once when they didn’t realize I was going to stop at a red light. They pushed it about 3 inches out of vertical. I didn’t even realize I was hit as I had just stopped I assumed it was my load shifting forward, I did look at my mirrors but no one came forward. About 20 minutes later safety called and said I was in an accident and asked me to pull over and take a picture. Sure enough it was pushed in.

Yep that simple. I’m not entirely sure about the numbers but it is greater than 1 for the number of women who do leave their crap husbands who then end up in hospitals or worse in the morgue for having the temerity.

Not sure proud is the correct word. Being a metal head I likely wouldn’t know one of her songs either but I don’t ever hold ignorance as something to be proud of. I listen to NPR through the day and they are always interviewing people whose music I have no ideas about (often they will say something about everyone knowing x song) but I just let it slide and hope one day they will have an artist on I care about. They had Dave Lombardo from Slayer on not long ago but he was talking about his solo album which is not metal and explores the influence of Cuban and Caribbean music on his drum playing.

The bourgeoisie did not contribute the raw materials. Workers (i.e. farmers, miners, lumberjacks,…) acquired the raw materials by labor and then the bourgeoisie bought that and provided it to their workers to do the assembly and then took that work and turned it into profit. Without the workers they would have nothing other than some status that they were probably born into.
I think there may have been soap once. I also got cod liver oil which was nasty and the bottle got knocked over. Had a wooden spoon broken off once. Threatened with a belt but I recovered fine from these incidences. They were all just enough and not to the abusive point that does exist out there. Kids should not have bruises all over from a parent, just from doing kid things like falling from a tree.
