I support a mixture of socialism and capitalism.

So do you.

That's why my tax dollars help pay for a fire truck to come to your house when it's on fire (along with 1,000 similar exampbles of how my money benefits you and your family).

You want a fire department based on the principles of free market capitalism? Police department? Military? Roads and infrastructure? Please. Try to be serious.

Tarspiel has it correct. Even as a fiscal conservative, I know that what we have is called a "mixed economy." We have several aspects of socialism set up in our system and have for over a century.

True Conservatives always argued that it was best for the private sector to control and produce most of the goods and services in this country. Government oversight should be limited to controlling abuses and threats to the system (collusion, monopolies, fraud, products posing consumer dangers, etc.)

We have never had a purely capitalist system. If we did, we would never have recovered from the Great Depression. Our entire financial system woukd have collapsed in 2008 (most do not realize how close we were.) Women and people of color would still be blocked from accessing many careers.

So you are for socialized medicine?

Interesting.

In all honesty… not to pick a fight… I’m almost certain most of the posters on this site support Socialism but are afraid to admit it.

Enjoyed the talks today.

I’ll leave you guys to your daily GOP bashing!

Enjoy!

The majority of Americans are for socialized medicine and healthcare. 60% in fact.

Hi there. My first post here :-) Happy to be alongside all of yall again.

Just fyi--I've noticed on Twitter that there's a growing rumor in the last couple hours that he crapped the bed so hard today he might drop out. Or be forced out. Will believe it when I see it, but just saying...

Not a snowball’s chance. For Trump, there is no bottom. Look at everything he has said and done and he still ended up as the Republican nominee and he still has his defenders.

Also, California has historically had the lowest bar passage rate in the country for first timers. It has gotten a little better recently, but it used to be roughly 50%. Someone like Kamala should have passed the first time, but if you have distractions at the time of testing, it is easy to fail. I know several big firm lawyers who failed the bar on the first go round - all of whom are unquestionably smarter than Donald Trump.

Kamala blamed herself — said it her initial bar prep was the most half-assed effort of her life. Lesson learned, apparently.

Correct. And we'll see no groundswell of (fake) Republicans calling for Trump to drop out of the race. They just don't care, and hope more news cycles will sweep it under the rug.

But it's clear Trump is deranged and/or evil...and he won't get any better...only even worse.

Are u for or against social security?
 
PBOHEEL said:
LOL…. Facts are facts. If the judge was impartial and not a Democrat donor and Trump hater I don’t believe that he would have made that statement.

I believe that most on here perceive Judge Cannon as being a Trump judge correct?

So if the GOP has judges do you not think that the Democrats do as well?

Again, it is politics.

Appreciate the discussion.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I lived with one of my old roommates from Chapel Hill who had been going to USC for law school. By the end of the year she was studying for the bar and had an absolute meltdown on me because my now wife, was coming town to visit me, and she felt it would get in the way of her prep. She was under so much pressure in bar prep that the fight between us was total scorched Earth and I ended up moving out to an apartment that opened up across the courtyard in the building.

We are good now, but it took a while for things to heal. She's now a federal prosecutor that specializes in prosecuting child sexual exploitation, but those months leading up to California bar nearly broke her.

I passed the Bar Exam the first time I took it. Why? I was absolutely scared feces-less. I genuinely believed when I took the bar exam that going to law school was the biggest gamble of my entire life and failing the bar would expose me for the fraud that I am and that everyone else suspected I was. On those two days, you could not have pulled the proverbial greased needle out of my anus with a bulldozer. That attitude was what it took for me to pass. If VP Harris' attitude was, "Let's not go full on, bat-feces crazy yet, I will get a second-chance," then I applaud her reasoning. I think having a President who doesn't automatically elevate everything to a life or death, 3-alarm fire is a good idea.

Yeah, I was much more in your lane taking the bar. Had a 6-figure job lined up in BigLaw in NYC and staring down huge loan payments, I was scared shitless that somehow the bar would prove I was an impostor somehow.

I wouldn't go that far. All things being equal, I'd prefer a president that passed the bar on her first attempt. That said, it is probably item No. 10,000 or lower on my list of qualifications for president.
