It’s well past time for the College Board to have competition. How have they avoided a suit for being a monopoly all these years?

“So now we know who’s been handing out those AR-15 pins republicans have been wearing on the House floor. Rep. Andrew Clyde (R - NRA), who said the January 6th attack on the Capitol was a “normal tourist visit.” 🤦‍♂️ The GOP is a terrorist organization.”

Q: Why are there in the USA more people in jail/parole than there are inhabitants in Madrid the third largest city in Europe?

A: This one's easy. Racism.

The US arrests and convicts a lot of people. Most folk in jail, on probation, or on parole in the USA are there for 2 reasons:

1) Non-violent drug offenses

2) Are just awaiting trial, but are too poor to make bail.
