🤣YOUTUBER Officer Tatum Says STDs WERE More A Threat Than COVID19!!🤣 COMICAL!

Self appointed traditional family values apologist and former police officer Brandon Tatum has stated in his video that STDs (SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES) are more riskier than COVID? 🤣🤣🤣This video was made during the more serious times of our pandemic. BTW This guy is an anti-vaxxer and anti-masker, so if he get's infected with COVID, he will be out and about at your local library, grocery store, mall, gym failing to socially distance and failing to wear a mask. Does Tatum realize that any indoor public activity or gathering that has a majority of unmasked and unvaccinated folks which are less than 6ft apart is far more common in REALITY than all of the so called orgies and promiscuous sex that he falsely believes exists?? It is amazing that these trad cons are so confident that their arguments for traditional sexual "values" are rational due to the risk of STDs, STILL have the audacity to claim that STDs are more deadly and dangerous than the COVID-19 virus which KILLED more than 500,000 people in spite of many states implementing shutdowns and very regulated re-openings.

I wonder how many other of these trad con republicans share this very flawed thinking. If you know one, please share it.

Wrong BEN SHAPIRO! Re-Distribution of Wealth Is Not Motivated by Jealousy!

Ben Shapiro has stated on several occasions that those who support the re-distribution of wealth concept are jealous of the wealthy. Dear Ben. Those who want a re-distribution of wealth do not want the wealth of many billionaires. They think this amount of wealth is unnecessary and leads to others leading a substantially more adverse life than is necessary. Those who who want a re-distribution of wealth are not opposed to people being wealthier than others. What they oppose is a system that excessively rewards capital corporate ownership to the point of absurdity and allows millions of those who WORK 60-80 hours a week to still suffer poverty because according to some conservatives, their labor is worth a poverty lifestyle. If they were owners of mega corporations, they would not want billions of dollars of capital to hoard in order to produce "jobs" which pay below minimum wage- a wage that fails to access dignified living conditions. They do not want to own 100s of cars to simply prove how accomplished they are when others financially struggle even when they work HARD!!! Fairness is not JEALOUSY!

If any of you have any comment you would like to share, you are free to do so.

Name Hypocritical Republicans On The Issue of Cancel Culture!!

Republicans such as Tom Cotton love to paint cancel culture as having a left wing bias but we have seen instances where conservative Republicans love to use cancel culture when it offends their "sacred" values. Former president Donald Trump stated in a rally that he would support jail time for anyone who burns the flag. In a recent OP, Dan Crenshaw has been accused of practicing the same hypocrisy when it concerns athletes. Does anyone have information on other Republicans who complain about cancel culture on the left but support cancel culture when it offends their faux values? Please share it.

Sam Seder: We Should Ban Billionaires! (Is He Right!)

Sam Ceder from The Majority Report has made several videos against the allowance of people to become billionaires. He contends that it heavily contributes to the existence of poverty. As a matter of fact, he contends there is no reason for people to "earn" any more than 15 million dollars per year. Is Sam correct? Is the systematic allowance of billionaires contributing to poverty and the financial underachievement of the lower middle class of this country? Please share your thoughts.

Derrick Chauvin Sentencing!! Please Share Your GUESS or PREDICTION!

At the time I am writing this OP, Derrrick Chauvin will be sentenced by a judge. If you have read this OP before (TODAY) 2:30p , can you give a guess on how many years he will receive and share it? If you have read this OP after his sentencing and do not know how long he is sentenced, please try to make a guess on how many years he will get before you find out and share it. Lastly, if you have predicted how long Chauvin will be sentenced before the sentencing, please share it also.

I will guess that former officer Chauvin will be sentenced to 5 years in prison with the possibility of parole. We are just too soft on cops!

How Concerned Are You About the COVID DELTA VARIANT!!

How concerned are you about the proliferation of the COVID delta variant leading to a surge in the late fall or early winter which may result in placing back restrictions or even a lock down in many states? Will the reality of this variant convince those skeptical about vaccination to get vaccinated? I am still optimistic that we will get back to normal back in the winter but I am increasingly thinking that this is just wishful thinking.


Just in case you need some relevant information about the COVID DELTA VARIANT here is some relevant information:


The Covid Delta variant has been identified in at least 37 states. Many experts believe this variant will supersede the original COVID variant in the United States within a few weeks. The unvaccinated carry a substantially greater risk for sickness and death if infected with this variant but the longer this variant survives and spreads among mostly the unvaccinated the greater chance that it will eventually succeed in infecting the vaccinated.

Wal-Mart Should Be Publicly Owned By Its Consumers Like The Green Bay Packers

I don't understand why the children of Sam Walton should reap most of the monetary benefits from the profits of Wal-Mart. They did not build or produce the products that made Wal-Mart a mega company. From my understanding, the Walton family primarily owns the means of production of the business therefore, they decide if they get the biggest piece of the profit pie. Perhaps, the government should give the Walton family a final severance pay for their contributions to the company and eventually make Wal-Mart a publicly owned company like the Green Bay Packers (NFL Team). Green Bay is a competitive team which does not need an owner reaping most the profits because they own tools necessary for the players to play (ie. stadium, helmet, football). The fans indirectly fund the providing of these tools as the team's consumers. The same should hold true for Wal-Mart when it pertains to its consumers.

Do We Need The NFL? (FROM A LIVETIME DEVOTED NFL FAN)

I ask this question rhetorically but also literally. I love football but when you intellectually think about the function of football, it is not a necessary activity in our society. It does not cure cancer. It does not prevent COVID19. It is certainly not necessary to make you a better parent. At the end of the day the NFL is entertainment. Therefore, there may come a time where the physical consequences of football may outweigh it's socially constructed benefit. So I ask you those who have read this thread again the question is the NFL a need in our society. Could we live without it and still maintain the same level of psychological fulfillment.
