IF he is to testify, I would prefer it be behind closed doors. I do not want the spectacle of this played out like some daytime drama....as the Democrats did. I think that is beneath us. Lets be honest.....this is a shot across the bow for Biden. Now his son is on the hook to lie for him. This is not palatable for any of them. Hunter is unrealiable and if he cracks the entire thing would be brought down. The goal here is to just get out of office and try to protect his son so as to avoid jail time. I think Joe likely manipulated Hunter and forced him to do his bidding in harvesting money for favors for the Biden wealth......its sick and vile....but it is what it is. I think this can be handled without the fanfare. That the Republicans are allowing themselves to behave like Democrats have bothers me considerably.

Put simply, the consequences of leaving the marriage are too high. This is by design. The goal was to help women, who for hundreds of year were treated like property. I think the goal to end the mistreatment was a resounding success. But as with anything pushed on people, there are unintended consequences. Women were fine to end marriages. They could extract much from their spouse......men were less inclined, and would stick it out....rather than allow the courts to fock them over.

Well sure.... we can follow along after all. After wailing and moaning for months about Trump and Russian collusion and such the Democrats engaged in fabricated impeachments. So you bet that it might come back to you. Now, this was easily predictable. And I noted way back then that the Democrats were setting a dangerous standard with their abuses and misuse. I noted that they should expect Republicans to put it back on them, and here we are. I do think Biden has been a corrupt member of the political system ang garnered benefit for foreign actors at the expense of the US. I would prefer he had not done that, but lets be real....is he alone? I rather doubt it. So.....here is the next shoe to fall. Should it be true that Republicans regain the WH, and perhaps even congress in some future election......you might want to brace yourself....because if they should decide to revisit what has been done to them.....you WILL .....be aggrieved. And, when that happens you and I can finally share a position....even if its only because now its happening to YOU.....or rather your religion of liberlism....because it will still be wrong.

Men will be impacted disproportionately by the financial outcomes in a negative manner. If the woman wants a divorce, fine....so be it.....but since you have decided you refuse to stay in the relationship....you get nothing.... If its a mutual split, I think 50/50 seems mostly fair. Since the majority of homes are two-income homes, your strawman need not be introfuced. If she bails on the relationship, she gets nothing, fine by me....if the man bails....he gets nothing....

Perhaps. I am friends with people who are "together" but not married, and they have kids. So I think it is plausible. It has been true, historically, that divorce was intiated disproportionately by women, and then you have men being extorted by the process....so yeah.... I place some culpability on women, and I think men need to recognize the way the system is stacked against them.....and until the system is made more fair, they should resist exposing themselves. I am sure there are potentially men out there who are just as abusive of the situation as women, but that is not the norm.

1) Do not get married at all, simply date..... 2) Form a relationship without marriage, but that would mirror marriage. 3) Only get married if there is a prenuptual where the woman cannot steal half your money nor impede your access to your children.

That is a pretty cool story, thanks for sharing that!

Unsurprising....this is what we have taught and encouraged....

Not much, but climate is ever-changing so we should assume there will be periods of change.

Right, if I had one I think we could safely assume that she certainly would. But ignoring reality does not make it less true.

Sound really nice. I surmise there are those who arrive at such an outcome. Of course we know that statistically women seek divorce more often than men do....and why not? I mean, the courts are tilted in their fabor, they can extract extravagant outcomes so sure..... I wonder....would they be so eager if they only left with what they brought or earned....and could never leverage the children to their advantage?

I am sure he will be just fine. Statistically things have improved over the last 10 years, so there is some hope.

I see you disagree, in your own way, but I do not note any counter argument....perhaps you need time to develop one.....

This. There is really no reason to bother with marriage given the way the world is stacked against males today. If I were advising some young man, I would encourage him to consider alternatives.

Perhaps deciding for others what is important to them is not the exact approach we want to employ.

In truth there are plenty of good Muslims around the world. Sadly, they lack the spine to stand up to the cowards who pervert it for political ends. The religion never went through the Reformation and as a result it is stuck in Warlord phase..... When you travel the middle east you encounter so many good people, all the time, who like us just want to live and love and have peace. But there are those who are able to poison the minds of people through it as well. This happened with other religions in the past and those ideologies were able to unfock themselves... The problem we have now is that not only do these Islamists hold the Liberal view of being the only moral people, they happily use violence to project their views....and we have our own leaders who suggest that challenging them about it is "Islamaphobia....." They are morons.....

So what now? Do I get to burn stuff? Can I loot stores because I find myself aggrieved by this event? Those ARE the rules....right?

It is clear that most liberals oppose what the Hamas terrorists have done. The problem for them is that the far left radicals are their useful idiots, and they blithley allow them to be violent and vile where it suit the liberal goals of power.... Now, that is all good and fine....you can have that pit bull in your yard, and let him terrorize others...then blame those others for his actions....but when that little rager turns on you.....its suddenly a scary thing eh?

Going on record here to assert that the Ravens are overrated..... I think they get outcoached all the focking time. They come out like gangbusters, usually, and are leading into the fourth quarter of every game.....but lost three of those games....and almost lost another 3..... So they could easily be 3-9 right now. Unless they unfock themselves and make better second half adjustments they are out in round 1 of the playoffs.

I am mystified by those who support the media today. These entities are predatory and are preying on the fears of all people across the board. They are deeply flawed and no longer "report".....we should all view anything they present with considerable scruitiny.

I find this an odd area to focus, but when one consuders the value afforded to children in a two-parent situation I guess I get that. But if they hate each other and are jsut toxic that might be more harmful to the kid than just having one parent involved. Not sure.... They seem to be intent to save the nuclear family from the assault being waged by leftists through "woke" or "BLM". So this could be some kind of counter measure to those toxiz ideologies.

We demand far too much from the educational system. These kids come to school without proper parenting, and as a result they fail. Its honestly just that simple.

You can hate on them for it, but philosophical honesty and integrity is rare among those on the left. I applaud them for holding a position, despite its unpopularity and standing by it. That being said, they have a duty to their share holders which they did not meet. For this those in leadership should be relieved of their positions, replaced with people who understand that duty and are able to better balance the two elements. I divested of my investments in Disney about four years ago, and unless they abandon this silly pursuit toward social justice and deliver some business-centric effort....I will not be investing again.
