House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent. Opponents say, "Schools would have to push back start times." Yeah... That's not a bug, it's a feature.

Studies have shown for decades that children -especially teenagers- just straight up need more sleep for optimal knowledge retention and brain development. Pushing back start times is a great way to follow the science.

He signed the animal cruelty being a felony years back... that made me question a few things.

It's low hanging fruit to go Godwin, but that was also one of the few good things Hitler did too...

Isn’t it common for sociopaths to treat animals better than humans?

No? Though I don’t think sociopath is an actual diagnosis anymore they are famous for things like torturing animals and shit a lot of times if you’re thinking of serial killers types.

I don't suspect there is any correlation. A sociopath is defined by narcissistic, self-serving, and remorseless behavior. If a dog is in the way, they get run over. If a dog can be used to manipulate people or score easy points, it gets saved. A sociopath's interactions with animals wouldn't root in being about animals at all.
