    The Democrats are Destroying themselves from within.


    it's something that's got to happen so we can weed out the horrible ones and have the decent ones left.

    Unfortunately, what happens is the decent ones get weeded out and the horrible ones live on to be even more horrible than before. :(

    It did come back to bite them in the end, but they survive and
    continue to make money. it's all about creating increasing shareholder value, in any for-profit enterprise.

    I would rephrase that a bit: [For Ford] it's all about creating
    increased shareholder value [in an unethical way].

    It does NOT have to be a part of "any for-profit enterprise." Basically,
    the leaders of the company at that time had weak moral fiber. Human life
    is always more important than profit, so companies have a moral
    obligation to do business - to increase shareholder value - in honest,
    ethical ways.

    I had a friend in high school who died in a rear end collision while
    riding in a Pinto.

    My experience is that human life has finite value and that it is much lower than people pretends it to be.

    That is the reason why people spends thousands of dollar in entertainment while there are kids starving in Africa. For a random person, spending some notes in a bunch of popcorn and a movie in a drive-in cinema is a better expense than using those same notes for sending aid to people who is dying.

    Majorie Taylor Greene actually has the articles written.

    And Trump's Health Care Plan will be ready in two weeks.
    Articles are written, but in the congress right now the bill would not pass. ust like what happened before the Democrats won congress in 2018.

    Why can't we do both? Those that can afford it, should do both.
    Families that can spend money on positive, fun family memories should
    not be made to feel guilty because of it. Those same families can also
    donate to efforts to help those in need. Our family does both. Those
    that cannot afford to donate to those in need, should not be required to sacrifice their own family needs. Yes, families need fun time together
    to build positive memories and share experiences together, to strengthen
    their family ties.

    I do understand that overindulgence in "fun times" and disregarding
    those in need is not a cool thing and we all should endeavor to do
    better.

    My point is that if somebody claims something has infinite value and then he does not spend a dime on it, that person is proving the argument wrong.

    She as in Hillary?
    I don't care if a woman gets in or not, I want the best person for the job.
    Tulsi Gabbard would certanly be the best looking president tho.
    Of coarse anyone would've been better than Joe Biden.
    Even Obama said "Never underestimate Joe Bidens ability to fuck things up".
