The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

Why shouldn't suicides be counted? Research has shown that the removal of gun access from people with suicidal ideation has a decrease in number of attempted suicides and attempted suicides. 50% of suicides are impulsive decisions removing that opportunity for impulse saves lives.

Florida has a higher percentage of the groups (over 45) that commit suicide (until very recently the two highest levels were in those groups (last couple of years 25-34 has spiked). So suicides do skew their statistics. But, yes I think suicides should be considered in discussions.

I'd imagine white as well in Florida just because that is the oldest average age racial cohort.. 40-49 white males have had suicidal rates on the rise.

Intent, criminal acts, gun violence, mass shootings, etc..and then too insinuate Florida has shocking gun violence? Come on man…suicide is a separate discussion where gun access is relevant.

Like I said, it’s an easy mistake too make.

But seriously, how does Chicago have half the murderers of Florida? Chicago 2.60 million peeps vs Florida 22 million? That’s a serious problem where Dems leadership, justice system lead by Kim Fox has failed. Soft on crime policies failed, defund the police has failed.

Marjorie Taylor Greene faces backlash for saying her salary is ‘too low’

https://news.yahoo.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-faces-backlash-220626286.html

Seems chico's girlfriend isn't getting paid enough for her part time job!

Earlier this week, the Republican representative from Georgia appeared on journalist Glenn Greenwald’s podcast and expressed concern about her congressional salary, which according to public records is $174,000 annually.

Greene told Greenwald: “Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. I made a lot more money before I got here. I’ve lost money since I’ve gotten here.

Additionally, Greene complained about the amount of time her congressional work consumes, saying: “The nature of this job, it keeps members of Congress and senators in Washington so much of the time, too much of the time … that we don’t get to go home and spend more time with our families, our friends … or maybe just be regular people because this job is so demanding. It’s turned into practically year-round.”

It’s turned into practically year-round.”

In 2002, Greene's father sold Taylor Commercial, an Alpharetta, Georgia-based general-contracting company that he had founded, to Greene and her husband, Perry.[1][33][38] The couple are its vice president and president, respectively.[33]

Greene was listed as the chief financial officer of Taylor Commercial from 2007 to 2011,[1] but a 2021 Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation determined that she had no significant presence at the company.[39] In 2011, Greene stepped down as the company's CFO and began CrossFit training.[39]

By 2012, Greene was working as a part-time coach at an Alpharetta CrossFit gym.[1] In August 2013, she co-founded a CrossFit gym, CrossFit Passion, in Alpharetta, along with Travis Mayer, a CrossFit athlete, before leaving the business in early 2017.[40] In a 2015 interview, Greene said that when she and Mayer founded the gym, they knew little about how to run a business.[39]

In 2021, Greene said that she became politically engaged during the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries.[41] Beginning in 2017, she wrote 59 articles as a correspondent for the now defunct American Truth Seekers, a conspiracy news website,[13] and beginning in January 2018, 27 articles for Law Enforcement Today,[2][42] a pro-police fake news website.[43][44] In 2017, Greene visited Washington, D.C. to protest against a Republican gun control compromise.[45]

Greene was a top official of the Family America Project, a conservative group founded in January 2018. She was a moderator of the organization's Facebook group, in which members posted death threats against Democrats, bigotry directed at the Obamas, and support for multiple conspiracy theories, including claims associated with the John Birch Society about the U.S. government being infiltrated by communists.[46][a]

This is the same Women who wants to be trumps VP.

So got into it with a couple of co-workers over that 14 year old that beat that 9 year old. They want more punishment dished out than I think is appropriate. And of course one raised that the only reason little was done (I dispute this say we don't know all of what was done). What does the board think is appropriate? punishment?
My argument is that age matters (he is still only 14). One of the guys doesn't think age should ever matter (he agreed with example of a separate case of a DA pushing to prosecute an 8 year old as an adult).

The kid was arrested and mom plans to press charges, so that’s good. I think we need to focus more in the school problem or there were adults on the bus who didn’t stop it. If folks at the school are not protecting kids or removing the trash like this 14 year from the school, then people should lose there jobs.
