Why does the hebrew perspective matter to an omnipresent deity? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Right, but my mistakes at work don't end up with a diligent public servant handcuffed on the way to lockup. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The problem is he's still bemoaning the lack of bipartisan cooperation to pass party political measures. No-one except conflict obsessed conservatives 'knows' that defence spending is woefully inadequate. Easiest way for congress to pay for everything else is to drop their freakish preoccupation with war. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Something will happen in either Israel or the rest of the world? And to think, the cynics claim that prophecies are too vague! Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yeah, surely Coulter's a full on Randist anyway. Like, she'd cut corporate taxes simply because the rich deserve to be richer, regardless of whether it helped the economy. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Nice try Bill, but this RINO is clearly a Soros plant. His journal was funded with Clinton cash and set up to fail. What kind of elitist name is Julius anyway? And everyone knows only communists go to Harvard to study capitalist business. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

With more careful reading, it seems that the 5 year wait is only if the criminal is going to apply for a pardon. The president can go ahead on his own. That's just the rules for a formal petition through the DoJ. Alternatively they could just write to Donald on Twitter whenever they wanted. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The message is that, once again, Trump doesn't understand what he can and cannot do, and/or doesn't understand the words he uses. Arpaio would have to apply for the pardon at least 5 years after being released after serving his time. Why is that? As far as I was aware the power of the President to pardon offenders at any time after the offence took place (even before they are indicted, let alone tried, convicted and time served) was absolute.

What your link says, Phil, is that one drunken Captain was symptomatic of a systematic disregard for safety in the maritime environment. BP, Halliburton, Exxon... same shit different day. (And all examples of how the 'industry will regulate itself' argument is total bullshit) Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I'm a flat earther denier. I can't believe any of them are for real. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

White people aren't mostly up in arms about BLM. White people are mostly up in arms about Nazis and the KKK. Just like black people. I don't know, why do you bother making up strawmen that have nothing to do with anyone's stated position? No one here thinks the KKK represents the majority of white people, therefore no one is 'so wrong'. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

From my point of view the Progressive Liberals want to enslave the population to benefit the elites. We had a civil war over that issue. We may have another one. So it's ok for you to hate liberals because of a hypothetical civil war that might be coming - but if liberals point out that it's not nice to have statues to the people who were on the evil side of the civil war that did actually happen, that's unjustifiable anger and hatred? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Who helped lead the US into a horrendous conflict in defense of an evil institution, which he gave his full support to despite apparently knowing that it was inherently evil. That's not the kind of person who should be commemorated. You think the opinions here are from people angry enough to go out and riot? Since you admitted to a hatred of liberals just a few weeks ago, you tell us. Why is there so much anger and hatred in your community? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yeah, and if modern human traffickers treated their sex slaves well, and bought them nice things, and kept them in luxury hotels and made sure the johns never did anything they weren't comfortable with then maybe we wouldn't have a problem with forced prostitution. But reality isn't like that, and never will be. And if a pimp came up and tried to tell you that sex slavery is ok across the board because he treats his girls well.... you'd probably still think he was a criminal scumbag who deserves to be castrated with a rusty spoon before being sent to prison for the rest of his life. It's all about timing. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Whichever way it falls, number of groups is a red herring anyway. The number of groups could balloon without ever attracting any more members just through internal schisms. You start off with the People's Front of Judea, then you've got the Judean People's Front, the Judean People's Popular Front and even the Popular Front of Judea. But by then he's only one guy sitting over there. Splitter! The question really is how mnay people are in the groups, and how many people agree with them. Neither Clinton nor Obama nor Kerry nor Gore nor Clinton the first one pandered to black hate groups and proposed policies that pushed all their buttons the way Trump did with the right wing deplorables. The democrats do not consider the hard left their base the way the republicans consider the evangelical right theirs (if they did they'd have nominated Sanders by a landslide). Trump just took it one or two steps further. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Ron, you are extra "full of shit" today. That is well documented at Liberty Hall. My own opinion of slavery, as often expressed, was that if the institution was not the best, or could not be made the best, for both races, looking to the advancement and progress of both, physically and morally, it ought to be abolished. It was far from being what it might and ought to have been. Education was denied. This was wrong. I ever condemned the wrong. Marriage was not recognized. This was a wrong that I condemned. Many things connected with it did not meet my approval but excited my disgust, abhorrence, and detestation. So, the way that slave owning was conducted disgusted him. He knew it was wrong to treat humans the way they were being treated by other owners. And yet, even though the institution of slavery provides no mechanism whatsoever to protect the rights of slaves (it demands that they have no rights) he helped lead his country into bloody war to defend the rights of white Southerners to do abhorrent and detestable things to other humans. Frankly I think that makes him a prime example of what we should try not to be, and the type of political stubborness we should try not to be sucked into. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Meaningless tripe. No-one's talking about removing the headstones of normal soldiers anyway - just the statues of prominent confederate leaders. What difference does it make if they are technically US veterans (even though they were in reality fighting for what they believed was a different country in opposition to the US)? If a US veteran is a rapist, the important thing is that he's a rapist. If a US veteran is a murderer, the important thing is that he's a murderer. If a US veteran was a leader of a failed state that was attempting to perpetuate the total subjugation of an entire portion of society based entirely on skin colour, the important thing is that they were racist bastards with a purely evil vision of society and there is no good argument for giving them a monument.

Yeah, I'm sure everyone there felt so much safer that they were being protected from potential government oppression. Especially if they'd seen something they didn't like and actually tried to use those rifles against the police in and around the big crowds of people. That would have been a great success. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

No-one is contending that anyone from any group who rapes your sister should be given a free pass. Obviously not. Why did you even say it? So as long as some of the most exceptional people from a group can succeed despite discrimination against them then there is no effective discrimination? Didn't used to though, did it? And that only changed because of the concerted effort by protestors to change the way people saw the racists. Who's to say that if we never again confront racism that racism won't become as socially acceptable as it used to be? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

What is it that makes you think Ivanka and Jared are a good influence on Trump anyway? All Ivanka seems to do is ride his coattails into glbal meetings where she can bask in the warm glow of nepotism, and does anyone have a clue what Jared's personal politics are anyway? And is he a good influence? He clearly isn't self aware enough or strong enough to even say "Donald you've given me way too many jobs I know nothing about for me to have a hope of being effective at any of them" so why assume he's going to be able make his views heard on anything else? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

It's funny how often you bring up BLM or other black civil rights activists either apropos nothing or as a counterpoint to overt white racism (even stretching so far as to pretend that the full title of the movement should be Only BLM instead of BLM Too)... yet I've never seen you condemn the racism and xenophobia of the Zionist movement. I'd have thought that would be higher in your thoughts. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Huh! And all this time I thought the moon controlled to the tides. Live and learn. Anyone else I'd assume was trolling. You might actually be that clueless. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

That's because you lack self awareness, and are unable to evaluate yourself in line with the standards you expect from others. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40943425 It's funny how when Obama was Pres the Right pretended to be so concerned about the USs image in the world. Now people are saying this about Trump and suddenly they don't care what anyone else thinks If Donald Trump's initial handling of the fallout from Charlottesville started a political fire, on Tuesday the president poured on a bucket of kerosene and danced around the flames.

Trump is the price you have to pay for sin? And here I thought you liked the guy. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
