@Salacious-Crumb I saw that doco about the opiod epidemic in New Hampshire, ambulance drivers talked about how they had bought overdose victims back from the dead two or three times. Two of the subjects of the doco oded after.
This is a heartbreaking read, I hope that shit never ends up here , p is bad enough.

This was a great watch. Love it when Rogan has US politicians on
That was good to watch , he seems like a decent man but I’m not sure I buy his idea it’s easy to disarm someone with a machine gun . Maybe if you’re a navy seal it is , for the rest of us i doubt it .

I don’t think Joe should be going off script and freestyling with the mic. Oof.
As he campaigns for president, Joe Biden tells a moving but false war story
[...]
In the space of three minutes, Biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony.

Yeah I thought that also, come on man you're a trained killer!
Its weird, when I listen to Tulsi argue for US non-intervention overseas, I find myself agreeing with her, and then when Crenshaw argues the opposite I find myself agreeing with him. Such a tricky issue.
I liked Crenshaw calling out Bernie saying he oversimplifies things; yes some problems are caused by corporate greed/lobbing, but not EVERYTHING.
I reckon Crenshaw will run for president in 2024, and do well.

I find it pretty hard to take Bernie seriously this time around, he's switched from wanting to control immigration to help keep wages at a decent level to free health care for illegal immigrants .
Crenshaw seems like a good man , whatever you think of the republicans they don't seem to play dirty tricks on their presidential candidates like the dems did with Sanders last time and Gabbard and Yang now.

@TeWaio it was a good interview I thought. Was very clear around the issues of gun control and was the first person to make me even think for a minute that guards in schools was a good idea.
Yep, the argument that we (well, the US) have armed guards in lots of other places so why not schools seemed a pretty good one.

And the point that it makes shooters avoid those targets. And that some schools already have them.
Would be a good way to mitigate the problem while you tackle the root causes.

The Ilhan Omar soap opera certainly is entertaining, here’s today’s instalment
Yeah no problems here with US immigration policy

Bernie Sanders has announced Linda Sarsour is going to be campaigning for him again . Last time I don't think she was as well known , I'm sure more people know she mocks fgm victims, told a woman she was too fat to be sexually harassed and continually advocates for Sharia law.
