"The words 'Trump' and 'policy' are typically not uttered in the same sentence ... "

Was thinking pretty much the same thing.

When asked about his policies for fighting inflation Trumpy's answers either

1. Drill baby drill

Or.

2. Start another trade war with China.

While his actual "policies" will revolve around REVENGE & RETRIBUTION.

Then you don't know Alan Watts. :)

Ok. Maybe that was confusing. So I'll Go first.

A better mind than mine who represents my beliefs would be Alan Watts. But I am pretty sure he would never say he is "better" than me.

He was just my Other me.

There are minds better than many here that belong to real Christians.

I have found that YOU are a good representative of your beliefs.

Can you name one that's better and why they are "better"? Do they think they are better or is it just you that thinks they are better? Anyway I have been "better" myself at certain times in my life. Sometimes worse!

Pretty sure if you think you are "better" than others then you are doing it wrong.

We are all come from the same "source". And I would bet we are all going right back there when we die. Whatever you choose to call it.

We are all the same just with different perspectives based on where and when (and what bodily or environmental restrictions) we find ourselves in.

Quantum mechanics teaches us that everything is relative to your perspective and the space-time is that you find yourself in.

You are just scared a Republican is going to get in and represent someone else other than you.

#13 | POSTED BY BOAZ

Too bad a Republican isn't actually running.

The only person I see running for Republicans is an ignorant traitorous criminally indicted insurrectionist trying to stay out of prison.

A president is supposed to represent ALL Americans not just maga maroons or worse single them out for harassment.

You are right. Trump does not represent me or my values.

"Kari Lake a "phony" in a political advertisement, highlighting the hypocrisy Lake has shown over the years"

Just another fake plastic person. She would make a great evangelical. If she is not already one. She certainly fits the mold.

Then that makes your opinions about the Bible or interpretations thereof pointless.

Of course it does. You religulous can't tolerate dissent.

Thank Gawd you can't have me charged with blasphemy any more eh?

And you can't have me arrested for shaking the hand of a Colored.

Or Gawd forbid marrying one.

Or charging interest on a loan.

Or eat shellfish.

Or eating pork.

Or planting two kinds of seeds in one field.

Or tattoos.

Or eating rabbit.

Or playing with a football.

It's pretty impressive to see the results of a couple decades of propaganda in action.

Because Propaganda Werks!

Especially on maga maroons. Apparently.

It's details how "memes of mayhem" started the whole thing from 2chan to 4chan and gamergate all the way up to Jan 6th.

Apparently a certain percentage of us are highly susceptible to be influenced/corrupted/confused by this new technology and form of communication. Like a brain virus.

Almost 90 percent of funds Congress approves for Ukraine military aid is being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace ones sent ...

Are you a freakin commie?

Best foreign policy investment Americans have ever made. Degrading the Russian military saving millions of lives and forestalling World War III (given Putin's imperial ambitions) as well as the diplomatic and national security value of this aid makes the U.S. the single biggest winner ever in this conflict.

But if you Trumpers can't win anymore than you will make sure nobody can, huh?

"I agree that sin is sin."

Sin is just a man made concept created by the religulous to exert control over the weak minded. Many things that were considered sins by the religulous are no longer considered sins. How can that be?

That's because the so-called "sins" of the religulous are relative to time and space.

Like everything else is.

Bismillah!

"The Bible puts conditions on things and has expectations of our behavior."

Gee I hope it doesn't expect anything from me. Because I came here with nothin and I am leaving with nothing.

But I hear if you expect nothing you will never be disappointed!

See? I told you that Nothing Matters!

A lot!

Don't expect something for nothing.

Except for the entire universe. Which apparently came from "nothing".

Nothing matters. A lot!

"He's too polarizing to easily find 12 people with mild enough views to be objective to the evidence."

Which was exactly his plan. Taint the jury pool so badly you can't possibly get an unbiased objective jury.

When Jordan Klepper asked a trumper if trump could get a fair trial in Georgia or Florida and whether he would accept the verdict if convicted there. Of course he said no. So apparently there is no where on earth where he can get a fair trial now. According to Trumpers.

Turns out that not enforcing the opposition party's polices is not a crime.

Just more fraud waste and abuse of power by republicans.

BTW. How's that revenge and retribution of President Joe Biden coming along?

The NT is strong in idol worship, obedience, humility and other intrinsic personal traits.

It's about not judging others, but instead being concerned with your own path.

The New Testament is also full of violence and suffering, violence (and a lot of weird ----) which was/is condoned by Jesus himself apparently.

Also did you know there are probably thousands of self help books out there now?

Also written by humans just like the Bible was. Who now have the knowledge of the ages to drawn upon.

With a lot less violence and suffering in them than the "bible" has.

You just made that up.

Just like the "Bible" was.

Stop being a -----, which is what bombing is.

The method of cowards.

POSTED BY EFFETEPOSER

LOL. If you don't want to get bombed by people (who are much more powerful than you) then I suggest you don't try to murder them and rape them and kidnap them. Just a thought.

Also why would anyone ever take advice about how to prosecute a war from someone who has obviously never even been in or near a war?

The only nations listening to the Biden administration need US money/weapons. Biden has no hand.

Death Valley California has gotten 259% of its yearly total rainfall already this year.

I think it's fitting and proper that a major oil producing country like the UAE get to feel the effects of its product on the climate for a change.

They're going to get someone killed.

They already have.

They are gonna get even MORE people killed.

Especially if they don't tell them to wear tactical gear and bullet proof vests too!

I'm more worried about plastics than climate.

Right now I am more worried about our democratic institutions than plastic OR climate change. This election will either make both situations better or much worse.

What is the connection between attacking Palestinian civilians and defending Israel from Hamas?

POSTED BY SNOOFY

The connection seems to be the cowardice of Hamas Terrorists who after "bravely" sneak attacking Israel then ran home and hid in tunnels under hospitals and behind civilian human shields (which includes women children and Israeli hostages).

Interesting (but cowardly) tactic and quite a dilemma. If you let it be so.

Israel decided not to let that stop them from counter attacking and trying to prevent it from ever happening again.

"The U.S. post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, and Pakistan have taken a tremendous human toll on those countries. As of September 2021, an estimated 432,093 civilians in these countries have died violent deaths as a result of the wars. As of May 2023, an estimated 3.6-3.8 million people have died indirectly in post-9/11 war zones. The total death toll in these war zones could be at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting, though the precise mortality figure remains unknown. Civilian deaths have also resulted from U.S. post-9/11 military operations in Somalia and other countries."

Like I said, you can disagree with Israel methods but Israelis are slackers compared to America.

"Otherwise, they're selling worthless pieces of paper."

Welcome to capitalism! Never heard of "derivatives"? Buying stock is a form of gambling. They are all just magical pieces of paper. They are only worth what people are willing to pay for them.

What is a dollar bill worth? Exactly what we say it's worth. Because it's actually just a worthless piece of paper. Unless we say differently. Did you know that making a penny costs 3 cents? How does that even work?

How about bitcoin? It's only what people say it's worth. But it's actually worthless. You can't eat it and you can't even make jewelry out of it.

If the value of DJT is collapsing it's because people are losing faith in it and not enough are willing to buy it and they are selling more than they are buying. So it was all imaginary to start with.

That doesn't sound right!
