Almost like a basket of deplorables?

Hi John, And, she would get a very nice lifetime pension & money to run an office. Lot's bennies to being a ret'd Pres. Jerry Baumchen

Don't underestimate us!

We make a voluminous pockets for a speed skydiving, some heavy duty tandems and other, but we do not use grommets. Due to the high tensile force.

Public Service Announcement:

No, what's creepy is you always arguing in bad faith. Here you are pretending to support BLM, but we know that you don't. I've come to expect evangelicals to be dishonest liars, but it's still unbelievable how openly dishonest they can be - I mean, don't they realise what they post here is recorded?

MAGA’s outlook is ‘There are very fine people on both sides’ provided their words can be twisted to fit our agenda. I’ve been slow to really understand that MAGA is a genuine cult and not simply cult like. You can’t reason with cult members, it just drives them deeper in. The only thing to do is to ignore them and push forward with the future. Cult leaders die and the cult usually falls apart, we just have to let it run its course. You can feel pity for them and show them compassion, but there is no positive from engaging only negative.

Are you sitting down for this? A Trump-appointed judge in Texas is allowing a woman to sue the prosecutors and sheriffs for illegal prosecution over an abortion. Woman imprisoned for abortion, wrongfully charged with murder, will be allowed to sue prosecutors, sheriffs for $1M

Were we perfect; no. But it was a path. We got to where we are today because of it. There were many reasons the framers let slavery exist within the colonies in the beginning while opposed to it. I'm going to be offline for a few days - If you would like to know more about the depth of it - I would recommend Professor Rakove's book, https://www.amazon.com/Original-Meanings-Politics-Making-Constitution/dp/0679781218

It's been proven many times that being "elected" doesn't prove anything. Look at her record of things she actually did. As VP she is one of the least popular. One poll had her as the worst. Whatever that means. Her comments on coconut trees (huh, what??), clapped along to a song in Spanish that was attacking her, and has said this non-sensical sentence many times, "what can be unburdened by what has been." She was chosen as VP for one reason, to draw votes. Nothing unusual about that. Then she was set aside. Well, except for her appointment as Border Czar. How long did it take her to visit the border? Her record will be examined and brought forward. As VP pick that didn't happen. She'll have to defend the economy. the border, her statements about Israel, and her AG record. She'll have to defend why she resisted DNA testing that could have proven the innocence of jailed minorities, why she opposed the legalization of marijuana and jailed 1,500+ during her term as AG. why 600 drug convictions were thrown out due to mishandled evidence that wasn't disclosed. Mishandling is one thing, deciding to not disclose it is another, more serious, issue. The party has identified at least 4 other candidates that some think would be better. They will have to contend with those disagreements and do it quickly. The $91 million has to be addressed. The only group having fun is the talking heads. Wonder what they get paid to be on TV and have all that fun? Politics is a mess and it's about to get worse. The DNC convention is 4 weeks away, plenty will happen before that.

A fair opponent for Trump then

The implication is unearned privilege. While Vance appears to be moderately bright, Kamala is a moron and represents the downside of affirmative action. I've known enough people who got where they were to fill quotas that I empathize with those who had to demonstrate conclusively that they met any applicable standards. I'm all for providing equal opportunity to anyone with the ability and drive to take on a particular role, be it PIC, MD, CEO or whatever. I staunchly oppose quotas that supercede merit.

The church is always there to give the autocrat legitimacy and, actually, to make it happen in the first place. As long as we get more God they’re happy and the autocrat couldn’t care any less.
