I also heard that they remodeled the White House to make sure that Biden cannot get into Kamala's bedroom at night to make her pregnant.

Beautiful morning here! Before watering the flowers, though....

Sad, just sad......

Yes. Trump seems to have your full attention. One would almost think he is still president, considering the attention some people lavish on him. I suppose it's easier than looking at the current president you voted in.

Why do Japanese like Anime and Hentai so much?

Hentai is a western description... in Japan it just means perverted. Japanese love manga and cartoon characters.... can't say why. Some anime is pretty damn good though (Attack on Titan currently). The fans of porn here are probably about the same as anywhere. The difference is that there is not so much shame attached to it, and people are more accepting of it. So Westerners get the idea it's everywhere.

Why do Americans need a passport to leave the USA when illegal Aliens don’t need one to enter ?
clown world

Americans have been trained to believe that a passport is a privilege, not a right. In other words, they believe that they don't have the right to leave their country without permission. In East Germany, they needed walls and guards. In the US, they just train people to obediently stay put.

Point taken, so media ought to be taken out of the hands of private corporations and controlled by the government?

So you're saying people ought to have the freedom to enter the US? Or in other words, US citizens are not restricted, but have the right to enter a foreign country without permission? People are free to leave the US, but they may be denied entry into a foreign country or denied re-entry upon return.

A valid passport is the most common travel document required for entry into a foreign country. More than 80% of all countries in the world require this document. Even if it is not required for entrance into a foreign country, it is required to re-enter the United States in most cases.

Citizens of the United States who travel to a country where a valid U.S. passport is not required will need documentary evidence of U.S. citizenship and valid proof of identity. For travel overseas and to facilitate reentry into the U.S., a valid U.S. passport is the best documentation available and unquestionably proves your citizenship.

That's not exactly true, maybe unless you are crossing the border by land. If the purpose of the passport is simply to enter another country, then why does the US revoke passports when they want to prevent someone from leaving? There is increasing talk about revoking passports for a myriad of reasons that are not crimes. There are better ways of proving who you are than passports, such as blockchains. The government should not have absolute control over your identity and movement as they do. The passport system is fine so far as allowing countries to know who is entering their borders. The problem is that the US government (and others) is using them for much more than that.

This is a more thought-provoking link than parroted US propaganda: https://theconversation.com/when-world-leaders-thought-you-shouldnt-need-passports-or-visas-64847

so media ought to be taken out of the hands of private corporations and controlled by the government?

Why would they do that? The government has the best of both worlds. They control the media, and can use them as proxies to do things (like denying them freedom of speech) that they can't legally do on their own. The government is not the solution to all problems - though it's the cause of many of them.

The world is going to totally reform, with or without the US. Americans need to start asking fundamental questions and stop dancing on the surface of obsolete paradigms. Ask why passports? Why 12 years of school? Why school? Why teachers? Why banks? Why the SEC? Why 2 parties? Why sales taxes?

Most of the global institutions have been built to address a world that no longer exists. Like trying to fit square pegs into round holes. I don't have the answers, but people aren't even asking the questions.

It sure seems like a common issue that many conservatives don't understand what "free speech" actually means in the Constitution.

Parler explains 'free speech' to angry users after sharing Capitol riot posts with the FBI

https://mashable.com/article/parler-first-amendment-fbi-users-outraged/

The reaction to the news that Parler "colluded" with the FBI in order to report violent content was so strong on the right wing platform, the company was compelled to release a statement addressing those outraged users.

In doing so, Parler found itself unironically explaining the First Amendment to its user base filled with members who declare themselves to be "Constitutionalists" and "Free Speech" advocates.

"Some users have raised questions about the practice of referring violent or inciting content to law enforcement," begins Parler's latest statement. "The First Amendment does not protect violence inciting speech, nor the planning of violent acts. Such content violates Parler's TOS. Any violent content shared with law enforcement was posted publicly and brought to our attention primarily via user reporting. And, as it is posted publicly, it can properly be referred to law enforcement by anyone. Parler remains steadfast in protecting your right to free speech."

I mean gas has been over a dollar a gallon for years. LOL

If you are saying it is up over a dollar per gallon, that is just factually incorrect.

Under Trump in 2018 and 2019 the average prices were higher at times.

Not to mention you seem to not understand the fact that gas prices pretty much always rise when the temperatures get warmer and people start to move around more.

Dying of COVID is the ultimate way to own the Libs. You have your freedumbs, and no one is going to tell you what to do!

In a CNN poll released earlier this month, 92% of Democrats said they had gotten a dose of the vaccine or planned to get one, while just 50% of Republicans said the same. That same poll found that 46% of Republicans said that they won't try to get a vaccine. Similarly, a PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll conducted this month, 49% of Republican men in the US say they don't plan to get vaccinated for Covid-19.

Social Darwinism will take care of it...

The GOP really needs to step up their voter suppression game going forward to offset these demographic losses.

The free market supported it. The shoes sold out instantly.

Not my taste though. I have better things to spend $1,000+ on.
