RupertKBD Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Not only is Biden doing better on the economy than right wing media would have you believe....he's doing better on crime, too: https://www.businessinsider.com/us-murder-rate-dropped-by-13-percent-in-2023 Quote Despite prevailing concerns about rising crime rates, preliminary data suggests that murder rates across the US declined by 13% in 2023, ABC News reports. As 2023 draws to a close, the US is about to witness unprecedented crime figures based on preliminary data from law enforcement agencies. The anticipated decrease would signify the nation's largest-ever drop in homicides. Cities across the country are experiencing a significant reduction in homicides and other violent crimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Green Day’s performance on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” has a lot of Donald Trump supporters seeing red. During the band’s performance on New Year’s Eve, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong changed a line from its hit “American Idiot” from “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.” As you can see from the clip below that the crowd cheered at the lyric change. The usual MAGA crowd (Sorbo, Loomer, Posobiec etc) pissing their pants about this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is and always has been a political commentary from a politically active band..... It's kind of reminiscent of macho athletes playing "We are the Champions", not realizing that it's a gay anthem.... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertKBD Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) On another note, I found it interesting that Chief Justice John Roberts listed AI as the major challenge that SCOTUS faces in the year to come..... Not the fact that one of his justices is accepting bribes from a mega rich donor who has a case in front of the court, nor the fact that this same Justice has not recused himself from a case about Trump's claim of immunity for his actions on Jan 6th, despite the fact that his wife attempted to enable the overturning of the election.

Made up- on the stage, because of a broken guitar string. At least that's how Randy tells it , during his 'Every song tells a story ' tour. I think this happened after they were told by an American gas jockey to get out of the states before they got 'drafted' into another east asia war. They were on their way to gig down in the states, were told to go to a building, by the border guard, but stopped for gas between the border and the building. Gas guy tells them not to enter the building, but drive 20 miles to the next border crossing and go back to Canada, till the war was over. Gas jockey had one son killed over seas, and took a liking to those Canadian kids, so told them to go home! Amazing how thoughts can percolate in your head, for month or years, then appear in coherent form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, for the most part, the people who are now sitting in elected positions WERE those people. They got elected, got experienced and kept on going. Funny things happen as you get older; you don't get dumber, you get smarter, you don't get more unaware, you get wiser, you handle things better because most of the bad things you've lived already and know how it goes. There are two types of people over 50: those who are eternally curious and keep on learning about everything, and those who spend most of their time in a bubble watching cable news and forming strong beliefs that confirm their biases. They are not interested in new or different. Those in the first group can keep on being strong productive leaders indefinitely. Those in the second group should have strict term limits. None would be a good number. All of which is a longwinded way of saying that the idea that 50 should be some kind of eff-off date is a really bad one. Competence should be the criterion, not some arbitrary age limit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
