“We’re being tough on crime”

I tell people I work with especially if their case hits the news, like yeah they are going to toss the book at you so they can say that they are tough on crime, but they will most likely plea you way down so they can get the guilty plea so that can say “look how many convictions I got, I’m tough on crime”

Especially as someone who was arrested for a DUI for thc may also be required to have the ignition interlock system installed in their vehicle and will have to pay all the fees for that when they are being tested for a substance they have never been found guilty to have used while driving

Douchebag guy reschentaler does the same crap

As someone who works in D&A I will say I am in favor of AA/NA but not for the program and the big book…more so just for the support amongst others in your community who are also working to maintain their sobriety….addiction is a mother fucker, and is a very difficult struggle as many who are entering into treatment have left many friends behind in order to get sober….having those friends and supports who are sober and who can be there for you are very important. One of the larger reasons for relapse I’ve come across is boredom/loneliness. You become sober and you can’t hang out with the people you used to due to triggers with wanting to use, but eventually for some that loneliness does become to much.

Must not be from America eh? American teachers have to buy a lot of things out of their own pocket as the schools do not have $$$ for things like that and other basic supplies

One year I missed 3 deer in the woods, and was driving home from a friends house during hunting season and hit a deer, called my dad to come help since I couldn’t open the hood, and to bring a knife since the deer was laying by the side of the road, wanted to end things quickly for her, dad shows up we pop the hood find the car is fine and I grab the knife to walk over to the deer, she jumped up and ran away like nothing had happened. My dad looks at me and said “you miss in the woods and then decide to throw your car at one and still can’t even kill it” in the most sarcastic tone I’ve ever heard him speak in

The republicans that get held up as the greatness of the party, Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln would not be republicans today

That’s a strange mix of senators who are for workers rights along with a group who probably voted in this manner just to say fuck you to biden

The country never outlawed slavery as a whole until the 13th amendment…hell space states fought for the north. The border states even after the emancipation proclamation were allowed to keep their slaves as that only applied to states in rebellion to the government. Yes individual states in the north ended slavery but it wasn’t on the whole. The south became a little bitch and afraid that Lincoln would end slavery and tried to leave the union and opened war on the north. Hell for the first almost 2 years of the war, the south would have been able to rejoin the union without losing slavery…the south is the ones who in the end made it all about slavery but that’s just revisionist history on the losers part. The confederacy was a bunch of whiny brats

And don’t go pinning the civil war on the north, it was the south who was the aggressor…it was the south who decried every effort made and became hypocrites

What is wrong with the north wanting to prevent new states that were added from being space states?

You realize the civil war was the founders fault…they did the equivalent of “fuck it the next person in can deal with this mess”

Hence their names stay where they belong, in history books and museums. Not on buildings and parks

Who is taking Jefferson or Washington’s name off of anything?

You realize Lincoln was like almost a 100 years later than Washington and Jefferson right?

We didn’t need a civil war, the south choose to have one. If anything the southern states got off extremely lightly

No one who committed treason and took up arms against our country should be honored by having buildings or military installations named after them…the only honor they deserve would be having a latrine named after them. They should just consider themselves lucky the govt took a peaceful transition approach…every confederate should have been hung

I used to teach govt to seniors…I would give them the citizenship test at the beginning of every year…it was not very pretty

Nah see there is a difference…those people will be remembered in history textbooks and museums where they belong, not to be celebrated in public squares or by having buildings named after them

What policies are you talking about

He said the lady working the polls didn’t even know, she had to call someone and she told the lady that and hung up on her

Also, my brother found out that if you have not voted in 4 years you are removed from the voter logs

For cheaper schools look into the state schools like Indiana university of Pa, Edinboro university of Pa, Clarion university of Pa and the other state system schools. Quality education, small college towns, loads of fun as a student

If only there wasn’t a certain group preventing that from happening

Well you know what happens once you start getting a lot of truck traffic? Talk of making the road a toll road

I mean god forbid they use a teleprompter and still mention the airports of the revolutionary war

What is Dr Oz policy exactly? Other than women can’t make their own choices I haven’t really seen anything
