I agree, they should all lay out their incomes and what they pay on taxes. Every single one of them. But they wont, because it will expose them all. Trump even admitted to the world he knows the tax codes and how to reduce paying it and when he put that to Hillary, all she did was smile because he was right. Im not against immigration. I am against illegal immigration and open borders. Do you think the migrant issue of the last 4 years has made our country better, safer than the previous 4 years? do you even think that 10 plus million illegal border crossings, that they know of, is ok? And how much do you think those 1 million immigrants has cost the government for being here in the first place to house and feed, the transport moving them around and the crime that's come with it. Come on, you have to agree that the removal of the Remain in Mexico deal Trump had has had a huge negative affect on this country. I know, its a very big, very dry pill to swallow.

In the 12 months after Title 42 ended, the Biden administration ramped up deportations under the standard U.S. immigration framework, Title 8, and removed or returned 775,000 unauthorized migrants—more than in any previous fiscal year since 2010.

I used to be 100% pro choice. To a degree I still am, but the way this has been the focus of a campaign like every unwanted pregnancy is the result of a hideous crime has pushed me further away from supporting it. Anyone who is a true victim of such a thing should have access to termination and/or if there is a real threat to the life of the mother. Those percentages are very very low with those examples. In my opinion, most women are upset that they can no longer use abortion as a form of birth control. Having unprotected sex knowing the risks on more than a pregnancy level is just irresponsible. But you get people like that leftist crack pot racist Sunny Hostin who gets on national tv and tells the audience that her 13 year old daughter has less rights that she had at her age and that she is definitely going to be a victim of a crime and not have access.

a few facts, not opinions.

1) 10 US states have a total abortion ban in cases of R A P E and I N C E S T. one of them is yours, btw. 10 more have limited access to abortion in those cases - that's 20 states in total. 40% of US states.

2) Only 310 out of every 1,000 (1 out of 3) sexual assaults are reported to police - so it stands to reason that 1 of 3 pregnancies that are a result of sexual assault are also unreported. hardly a low example.

3) in your opinion most women are upset they can no longer use abortion as a form of birth control? what do you base your opinion on? do you have proof of this or know any women who do this?

4) one of the ways many lower-income people access birth control is through planned parenthood. many of those clinics have been shut down in the wake of Roe V Wade being overturned.

5) abortions are not fun physically or emotionally. it's not something we just waltz into the nearest clinic and have done because it's easier than buying condoms.

6) Sonny Hostins 13 yo daughter DOES have fewer rights than she had at her age and it's very possible that she WILL be a victim of crime and not have access. fact - in the US 1 in 5 women have been sexually assaulted. the statistics for sexual harassment of women is about 80%.

Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know

Listen, if you'd let Canada vote in your elections, none of this would have happened. Instead, you insist on only allowing American citizens to vote, and you know how they are... So this is what you get. What I'm saying is that as a nation, you're clearly not responsible enough to govern yourselves, and need a sensible adult present to supervise you.

I don't disagree at present

It will be up to the rest of the duly elected (congress, senate) to keep the reins and bridal on him.

Both of which the Republicans are now (as of Jan 6) the majority party. Want to bet they continue to support trump in whatever he does?

two good organizations to help you deal.

Unbelievable, waking up today. America sure is majorly fucked up.

Quote by kistinspencil

(don't tell the others) (secret, okay?)

You're my fav!

(shhhhh)

*locks lips, throws away the key*

this is really nice to hear. thank you guys.

Sprite. story mod.

my entry for the comp. i'm really enjoying writing it despite the fact that I'm pretty sure it's not gonna end up on the podium.

nothing too exciting. i am working on my comp entry like a lot of you are. I scrubbed the first one and started over and I am pleased with it so far. the basic outline is all sketched out and I am about 4.5k word into the rough draft. it's going to end up in the bdsm category and I already have a cover image for it. besides that I have a new Mrs Vandermeer chapter that I've been playing with for about... oh, 5 years now? lol and a new Alice chapter that I've been working on for a few months and I really want to get back to writing for Space girl again.

Quote by LuceDevlin

I'm not sure if this was asked earlier in the thread but what is the 'or' it kind of has a cliff hanger of don't submit stories .... and it ends with 'or .' like ... I keep checking back to see if it has been updated /tweaked but the cliffhanger still stands.

stories that take place in Oregon.

What if we dont want to reveal anything?

Quote by Milik_the_Red

I understand Burnout. I walked away for almost 5 years without even an itch to write anything. It turns out job stress was at least part of the problem. Now that ive retired i have a desire again.

Now it remains to see if i can still compose long prose anymore

Anyway its good to see you again. Id hate it if you left just as i came back but i do get it if thats where you are 🤷‍♂️

going thru the same the past few years. stories are few and far btwn these days. of course, I have other creative outlets to keep me busy, so it's not so bad. and I do write something from time to time, even going to give it a shot with the comp, tho I keep saying that and I keep not doing it. lol

If someone actually suggested me as a criminal mastermind, I'd probably be celebrating. 😀
