That also seems to be an issue that keeps happening. Single issue voters. People get so locked in to one issue and will just straight up toss salad of the person that says they are going to make their issue their #1 priority.

Only problem is that #1 priority is on the same scale as 20+ other #1 priorities and the official is going to take on those issues that will benefit themselves the most.

Being a vet myself I would HOPE that most commanders especially the Joint Chiefs would say no to that level of absurdity and bullshit. If it came down to it yes he could relieve commanders till he found someone to follow his orders, but if that happened I would almost assume a coup would take place because the CIC is trying to subvert the Constitution and every Service Member is charged with upholding said document.

Now getting a 3 letter agency to do it...is another matter entirely, but again any federal employee is sworn to uphold the Constitution and not the man. I just feel those 3 letters can be swayed a little bit easier.

I pay my portion of my health coverage at a little under 20% of my paycheck for a family plan. That is technically half since my employer pays a portion as well. If taxes would be raised to that point or even less than what I am paying now I would not care in the slightest. Hell I would welcome it. If it is more I would be a little more upset but if I do t have to pay co pays or the other crap a medical bill generates like the portion my health coverage doesn't pay than in my eyes it again balances out.

I would LOVE to see a source on this, but I have a feeling I already know where it is coming from.

Yes, but also no.

They don't call it the 1%, or 2%, or whatever percentage you want to use for nothing. There is still a large portion of boomers, my parents included that drank the kool-aid and by kool-aid I mean the pick yourself up by the bootstraps and work hard and you will be successful bs. They along with the rest of the leftover portion of their generation are pretty much unable to retire, just like the article points to. That is the class warfare. It doesn't matter what generation they are from it really does boil down to the haves and have nots.

The true point of Capitalism is like a big game of monopoly at the end only 1 person is going to win. There really is no other way for it to go down.

Yeah I am betting it will be 75 for me and I am only 43 now.

How are they influenced, and they aren't used being used for publicity from what I can tell from the article. One of the first posts here does a pretty good summary of the article that it centers more around the outrage than actually the after-school program itself.

I think they were just side stepping since they paused the lower courts ruling and then when they found out she left the state they dismissed their ruling as moot and then just went and overturned the lower courts. Pretty fucking spineless but they can still throw a supposed W and make themselves out to upholding values or some other BS talking point.

The only thing that would be the icing on the cake would all of these "Christians" would still be firmly on planet earth while everyone of the LGBTQ Alphabet would ascend. I know I am being hyperbolic but people can understand what I am getting at.
