So which president always told the truth?


Maybe, just maybe Jimmy Carter. And look what his honesty got him - voted out after his first term in favor of a senile B movie actor, and reactionary governor.

This country has the highest incarceration rate in the world and crime is at a 50-year old low. Over the past few years, there have been major protests over police brutality, especially against people of color. Trump lied and said crime is at a 50-year high and wants to step up police forces, incarceration, and unconstitutional policing policies such as stop and frisk, to make our incarceration rates and police brutality even worse.

That is problematic.


So, thus far taxpayer money will be going to a big ugly wall and giving the police even more leeway to become the people no one wants to call when there's an emergency or major dispute one might normally call the police for. If anything the police need a shorter leash.

Yes the run-for-profit prisons both ruin lives and waist billions of dollars.

If the Democrats had won in 2016, they would have done nothing to fix the run-for-profit prisons.

Notice how the Democrats were in power for 8 years and they didn't fix this problem.

The public won't just be paying for that damn wall to be built, but also to buy the private land all along the border where that damn thing is going to stand.

If you knew anything about the federal government, you'd know that would be preferable.

I'd rather have a leader with disagreeable views who never puts them into action, than a leader with disagreeable views who actually does.

Trump wouldn't be so bad if he didn't appoint politicians and judges from the extreme religious right. I believe they're attempting to have abortion banned.

Which is ridiculous since its the extreme religious methods of sex ed that lead to increased unwanted pregnancy.


Similar to the idiots who want to remove birth control pills from health insurance.

Also the vice president doesn't like condoms. Doesn't he realise condoms reduce the need for abortions?

So much for freedom in america. Looks like it will go down the drain if they have there way.

What confuses me are these people who are like 'this is a free country and freedom means I have the right to bear arms and have guns' one moment and the next are like 'no you are not free to chose what happens with your body, your not free to have sex and definitely not free to use some sort of control if you do'.

Also how can something be too modern when your living in the modern day :roll:

Do we know whether risqué situations lead to sex, and whether sex leads to children, or not.

As it is covered, by property taxes, should people be thrown out, into the cold, at gunpoint.

Or, could you have reached these conclusions, on your own, without robbing anyone.

I'm sorry what?

I hate to be the one to break the news but yes sex does lead to children. It's kinda the whole point of sex.

I thought the whole point of sex was to get off. Have I been doing it wrong? :lol:
