| ^^^ Forgive my ignorance, but what is "at-will employment?" They can fire you at any time with no reason given. This makes it a lot easier to discriminate. No proof. Montana is the only state that doesn't have it. Okay. Any thinking person should be against it. Exactly. Texas has very few... |

| ABC News South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said troops have been withdrawn, hours after he declared an "emergency martial law." All that surprised me today. We do not get enough news about foreign countries, other than Russia. I have no idea why Yoon declared martial law. I think he ma... |

| Voters in Texas are apparently not very bright. That is true. Officeholders here aren't either. The only way you can win an election outside of Austin or Houston is to (a) run as a Republican, (b) run on a "God, Guns, and Gays" platform (though "gay" has been largely replaced wi... |

| The right believes that if we all acted the way people did in the 1950s and early 60s, and practiced the same social norms they did then, then all our problems would go away. Except this vision was a fantasy. 1. Most families were *not* like those on the classic sitcoms of the time. The Cleavers, Ri... |

| Hi yall. I heard that Dan Patrick of Texas wants to ban all THC products in the state of Texas. I think this is is a horrible idea. No wonder Texas ranks last for personal freedom. I dont see why law enforcement wants to go after someone using medical marijuana for their autism or cancer in Texas b... |

| I think the rightward shift in deep blue districts is the real story here, people who have experienced Democrat rule up close and personal swinging like 20 points away from it. A less polarizing GOP nominee might have gotten a real landslide, especially considering Trump was running against the ent... |

Now we have a rapist, felon, and a person who cheated on his wife with a porn star and a leader who thinks it's OK to grab a woman by the puxxy. According to him they love i... |
