He should, but he is not required to. No absolution is coming from me. I ask nor receive any quarter. He has already stated that he gets all the love he needs from his people and his belief. Like with all the other mistakes he has ever made and whatever mistreatment he may have given to others, in his mind it is all swept away by his Lord. You don't have to believe it yourself, but you have to accept that nothing you say will change it.

That's awesome!

God's choices can be confusing I suppose.

It was well aged the moment it was written! At the time it was pretty weird and funny. Now it is pretty funny and weird.

Your group failed to get more votes than the other group. What that means is that your group must reach out to the other side and win some of them over. Power must be shared, you don't own it, you have to earn it each and every election. Why is it that when Trump won it was because God wanted it, yet somehow Biden is not God's choice? How can this be Ron?

Exactly. The neo-cons will be felt for a long time. And part of the blame for Trump belongs to the American people rejecting their war mongering.
-
Can you elaborate on what this means? Edit, never mind, Google was able to explain it.

I've said so all along. It is hard to score Presidential errors. All I'm really trying to say is that as damaging and maddening as four years of Trump has been I don't think he has managed to do as much harm to the US as others have. Other than covid the US got kind of lucky. No really big challenges came up during his term. In a way, covid itself may have been a lucky thing for them as it is easy to imagine a second Trump term without it. I do believe he is one of the worst if not the very worst ever. But he was also rather incompetent which prevented him from doing more disruption. In the end the "deep state" and the establishment in general dragged their heels and hung on long enough to get through the shit storm. Four more years would have been far worse than the first four.

Not if you look at it by itself. I am speaking in the context of comparing the folly of Trump with the folly of the Iraq and middle east war, and the folly of Vietnam. Those particular mistakes can all be laid at the feet of leaders. However, no specific number can ever be known. What is known is that people are dying everywhere from the pandemic. In the US Republican leaders in general have responded poorly and Trump was the leader of their party. Yet NY and CA with D leadership have not done better.
-
What is less certain is how it would have played out if HRC or someone else was POTUS. It is not realistic to blame Trump for all those deaths.

I see now that has been using a good part (28%) of my battery as well. I'm not sure what to do. It's a little like masks, it protects others as well as me. I get out a little more than you do. If you remember you could just turn it on when you go out I suppose.
-
What is your battery health maximum capacity reading in settings? Anything down near 80% means get a new one installed.

I'm not sure I agree. Both the Vietnam war and Bush's war on terror Iraq invasion were more costly. I guess it depends on how you define "self inflicted" though. Maybe you are right, there was every reason to know Trump would be bad, but he was elected anyway.

CA throws 300,000 Covid vaccinations in the trash.
gowlerk replied to Westerly's topic in Speakers Corner
I wonder what he's like in person? He is very inconsistent here. Anyway, since you are likely to read this Westerly, maybe tone down the anger a bit? -
Skirting the edges is a big part of being effective.

Too. too, too, too, too.....

Well, you are American so I guess that explains some of your cynicism. It is not exactly the same here, in some aspects it's similar.
-
Yes, but why are you so pessimistic? The current rate is just the beginning of a huge undertaking. Personally I see the progress that has been made so far as a near miracle and the outlook is for an unprecedented victory for humanity. Not only that but the mRNA technology is going to unleash further vaccines and other therapeutics.

Ya just gotta lay it between the lines Joe. I know you are smart enough to do it!

Try being a truck driver these days when shippers and receivers both tell you "where not to go".

Why do people engage with someone who uses terms like "chin diaper" and "twisted panties"?

I had a fellow Canadian PM me and tell me that I must immediately remove my flag ID because I was embarrassing him. I blocked him and have no idea if he is still around.

Less than 24 hours now. When will the pardon list be released I wonder?
