      I don’t care about republicans or democrats.
      They exist to make people think they have a choice.
      The world is more nuanced than good and bad.
      As far as in jail/out of jail?
      It’s a chicken or egg.
      USA is 4% of the world population.
      20% of world prison population.
      At 4-5 times more incarcerated citizens than any other top 20 wealthy nations.
      Not exactly the land of the free.
      More inmates doesn’t seem to be working at all.

    1. @g.c.morrocco7475  How do I describe a republican? Hmm maybe Someone who doesn’t groom children into getting sex change surgery?

    2. @First Last Yeah, because everything that happened during Trumps presidency that are positive are because of all the great things that O’bama did. Everything bad that’s happening now is due to the evil Trump

    3. There’s no description because the shooter was likely black or another minority. If he was White they would waste no time demonizing White people and guns.

    1. ⭐Blame LA County Sheriff for the mass shooting.🐴They were NOT doing their job, in between, illegally developing real-estate. 🏗 Everyone is there illegally? 🧟

  3. Some people believe that Chinese New Year originated in the Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC), when people held sacrificial ceremonies in honor of gods and ancestors at the beginning or the end of each year.

  4. When you choose to vote for candidates who support laws that make it impossible for you to defend yourself, this is what you end up with. If this shooter had the impression that all of his targets were armed, there would have been no shooting to begin with.
