      Yeah, I think that can be left to the private sector now, and the billionaires who like to play with expensive toys.

        I certainly understood the military component with the Space Race and beating the Soviets to the moon. And even the space shuttle program made sense. But robots on Mars is extremely expensive with very little payback. Yes, leave it to the billionaires.

        I hate it when people/government push projects when the science isn't ready, like electric cars. WAY too expensive for most people, WAY too inefficient right now.

                  Perhaps worth noting from the fine print that the survey asked *different* questions, depending on whether the poll respondents were Republican (or -leaning) or Democrat (or -leaning).

                    As the antifa/BLM thugs in Seattle and Atlanta showed they have them and were itching to use them too. Murdering people in cold blood for having the temerity to approach the land they seized and declared to be independent autonomous zones (the very definition of an armed insurgency).

                    The mayor in Seattle didn't care until some of them marched on her mansion and only then did she order the police to take back the six blocks that had been occupied.

                      All the respondents should have been asked the all the same questions, although it would be weird to ask a Trump supporter if he/she is afraid of Trump supporters.

                        If the Govt violated the Constitution, I would be sure to vote and to volunteer for alternative candidates. And maybe join a protest march or two.
                        And what if they suspended the right to vote and the right to freely assemble?

                        What violation of the Constitution would incite you to violent action?
                        I'm too old and broken for violent acts, never mind a Christian. But people I know could go that way if the government came after their firearms or their free speech rights...

                          That did not happen in DC in part because DC has strict gun control laws, and people seen carrying would have been arrested. The injuries would have been much worse had the insurrectionists been carrying guns.

                          The state of Washington prohibits the open carrying of firearms and yet the mayor there let the antifa/BLM thugs who forcibly seized six city blocks, and declared it to be independent autonomous zones, to walk around carrying AR-15s (the very definition of an armed insurgency), shaking down residents and businesses and even shooting down four people (two fatally) in cold blood because they had dared approach their turf.

                          But it was just a "mostly peaceful protest."

                            correct. Anyone wanting to see their social security benefits can log into myssa.gov and check. How much you get out is entirely based on how much you paid in. Your monthly earnings is calculated by them taking into consideration your highest 35 years of payments. So if you didn't pay much into it, you don't get much out. And there is no way most people will live long enough to get out what they paid in, especially if you consider how much interest you would have made on that money over the years. Not only that, but they actually make you pay income taxes on your social security, so the government is stealing money back from what they pay you from your own money.

                              Wait. Aren't you liberals the ones claiming that's what "we" did on January 6? WITHOUT guns?

                              Make up your mind. If you think people could not overthrow the government WITH guns, what makes you think anyone would even try WITHOUT guns?

                                But not when that - what did you call it - "minimal benefits" - keeps expanding beyond what is sustainable simply because ignorant people elect the VOTE FOR ME AND GET FREESTUFF candidates.



                                You know, pretty much when anybody says that on Tweb, you know they're telling a big 'un.



                                I'm SO glad you don't actually have any power to make that happen.



                                Laughing - had to hurry and qualify that ignorant statement, eh? There most certainly IS a "Defund the Police" crowd, and even the liberals can't agree on what that means.

                                But you're about to close with an incredibly stupid statement......






                                Why resort to a personal insult?

                                Why make up nonexistent future claims instead of actually addressing what I proposed?

                                So you answer my generic comment with a talking point.

                                No I don't have any power to change public policy, but voters collectively have that power.

                                It is very important to note who is actually pushing extremist views. I know of no elected Dem in national office pushing "Defund the Police", although there are certainly fringe individuals or groups out there who espouse this idea, none of which have any power. OTOH, Republicans actually elected at least one Q-Anon supporter to Congress!
