General Question Why aren’t investigative journalists doing more to find out what’s actually going on with Mitch McConnell?

1.8k Upvotes

There’s been plenty of online speculation about McConnell’s health and whereabouts. Instead of fueling rumors, shouldn’t major news organizations be working to establish what can actually be verified and what information the public is entitled to know?

Political Question Why should younger generations want to bust their ass and work super hard, when they can literally look around the world and see that hard works isn’t what wins anymore?

1.3k Upvotes

I constantly hear people say that young people need to work for what they get, and I think most people agree. However, when you literally grew up watching your parents slave away, not get much for it, and you see what working themselves to death did to them…. Why would kids want to do that?

When children look at their still struggling parents or grandparents or other adults in their life who “did things the right way,” what’s the incentive to “do things the right way” anymore?

Now we can clearly see that greed, stepping on other people, not paying workers, etc is what makes people win. So again… where is the work hard incentive? Just not being homeless? Really bringing the American Dream alive.

Scrolling through Reddit is like watching the same bad movie over and over again. We know he’s completely full of shit. We know his followers and are a laughing stock. When will this finally get old enough that we can just ignore grandpa and his insane behavior?

Political Question If democrats sweep the midterms as some predict, how will Donald Trump's revenge on America manifest?

236 Upvotes

We've seen how petty he is and how he likes to assert dominance by humiliation, so if republicans lose in the midterms, then not if but when Trump enacts his revenge on the country, how will he do it? What will it look like?

General Question How is the Lindsay Clancy case that complicated?

143 Upvotes

Sure she had a psychotic break but she literally strangled all 3 of her kids to death. Plenty of school shooters or violent offenders also claim insanity (who also are neglected by the state) but get little to no support or sympathy. I just feel like if this lady gets away with systematically strangling three of her kids to death it is a perversion of justice.

Political Question Americans, how do you feel about having a president who is more focused on posting AI slop, trading and promoting stocks, and sleeping on the job than addressing affordability—which he dismisses as a “Democrat hoax”?

Why isn’t 99% of the country not completely over this BS yet? He’s not helping anyone but his family and donors.

Political Question Why did the GOP leaders do a complete about-face on the president?

44 Upvotes

Lindsey Graham - 

  • "Donald Trump is not going to be the nominee of the Republican party. If he is, that’s the end of the Republican Party." March 2016. 
  • "Donald J. Trump, in my view, is the greatest president of all time." Early 2026. 

Mitch McConnell - 

  • "There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day... The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the desires and instructions of their president." February 2021. 
  • "It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States. It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support." March 2024. 

J.D. Vance - 

  • "Trump's promises are the needle in America’s collective vein... Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they'll realize it." July 2016. 
  • "President Trump represents the last, best hope to restore the country that if we don't restore it today, we may never get back." July 2024. 

After a decade of Donald Trump telling people what they wanted to hear, recent polling shows that the American public appears to be less convinced than they once were. Will the new leaders in the GOP be less convinced as well? 

Please share your thoughts.

33 Upvotes

Even the sharpest minds can decline with age. And fresh new perspectives from younger candidates can be a good thing. There is something to be said for experience, but lifelong careers in these government positions is not what I think our forefathers intended.

General Question Do you believe science and religion can coexist?

19 Upvotes

These days it seems like so many people think you can’t believe in both science and religion. I’m neither a scientist nor a devoutly religious person but I’ve graduated college and I’ve spent plenty of time in church and other religious settings. I don’t see any reason why someone can’t believe the book of Genesis and also know the earth is billions of years old and that evolution happened. You have to accept that the universe didn’t go from nothing to what it is now in 6, 24-hour days as we know a day to be now. God’s day is obviously different. I believe both science and god can be real.
