  1. I'd disagree on that one. IMO more of: - pretty much zero immigration. WTF would want to move there? - high abortion levels -high levels of mortality -Low Birth Rates It appears as if Russia is following the The Poland Model—Promoting ‘Family Values’ With Cash Handouts
  2. Seems to me that George Bush made a spelling mistake at a school. IMO thats why debates are useless. Reagan had some good one liners in debates. But his ability to develop rapport made him a great president.

    Q

    Because they have never been to West Point and never read The Art of War. Because they received their military training from Howdy Doody.

    covid-19

    In Australia city wide curfews with police checking ID's and ticketing those who have no legitimate reason to be out of their homes. Cue America the beautiful with screenshots on covid intensive care wards.
  5. “It’s our responsibility to cover stories that are critical to our viewers,” the network said. It should say that are critical to the bottom line driven by ratings and ad buys. Like FOX, NBC and other news media corporations. CNBC takes a balance of hard journalism and editorial content. Rupert Murdoch built his media empire on a mix of right wing editorial content and a sliver of news. James Murdoch, the younger son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, has resigned from the board of News Corporation citing "disagreements over editorial content". CNN is the worst of the left in America for hammering the same story to the detriment of trump. But in the end market share, ratings, etc. drive profits. News, pure news and journalism with balance must be sought by the public. Interpreted by an inquiring mind.
  6. In America the president scoffing at child sex traffickers in national interviews doesn't bear mention in the news. The president defending them, normal and permissible. On Sunday the christian news networks will have their full support for trump and the GOP on display.
  7. Congrads steely nerves and self control are necessary for such an assault on intelligence. This interview would be the result of every interview from FOX if they had real journalists. Imagine Mattis, Tillerson, etc. being subjected to such garbage every day. Its where the common denominators clown, idiot, came from.
  8. Takes part for dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence.
  9. I have scientific proof of the genius.
  10. "Officials linked the explosion to some 2,700 tonnes of confiscated ammonium nitrate that were being stored in a warehouse at the port for six years." trump weighed in with a quick lie "We have a very good relationship with the people of Lebanon and we will be there to help. It looks like a terrible attack," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I've met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel that this was not some kind of manufacturing explosion type of an event ... They seem to think it was an attack. It was a bomb of some kind." 2,700 tonnes would take a big truck or airplane but trump is on it.
  11. The concept that a non-profit would have tax deductible expenses for items like: -food for the needy -assistance in providing council for lawful immigration representation -medical care for needy -shelter for needy -etc. That would all come off gross income, i.e. taxable income. That legitimate expenses as aforementioned would not allow Gulfstream jets, pilot salaries, yachts and yacht rentals, luxury homes, "In interviews over the past eight months, they depicted how Falwell and his wife, Becki, consolidated power at Liberty University and how Falwell presides over a culture of self-dealing, directing university resources into projects and real estate deals in which his friends and family have stood to make personal financial gains. Among the previously unreported revelations are Falwell’s decision to hire his son Trey’s company to manage a shopping center owned by the university, Falwell’s advocacy for loans given by the university to his friends, and Falwell’s awarding university contracts to businesses owned by his friends. “We’re not a school; we’re a real estate hedge fund,” said a senior university official with inside knowledge of Liberty’s finances. “We’re not educating; we’re buying real estate every year and taking students’ money to do it.” All escapes those who support evangelical fraud of US taxpayers.
  12. All apart of is "centrist" philosophy.
  13. Most don't have brains...duh! The others get the right brain, left brain short circuit thing then its all good.
  14. Lie, deny and say that "god has forgiven him". At least it doesn't involve covid, Liberty University students dying because he doesn't want to loose student revenue.
  15. The university is just a side scam to top up earnings from the televangelism rackets.Like the "fines" that would be imposed upon students for similar conduct.
  16. It's "black water" and not "diet Coke, Coke or Pepsi? The girl has her pants undone as well. Really not much just evangelical christians having fun on a yacht paid for by tax free donations beyond the reach of the IRS. Do as I do not as I preach, or teach.
  17. Oh Ron you're so wrong. Its the courageous liberals that are protesting in the face of rubber bullets and gas. They take to the streets not afraid of unmarked thugs and unmarked vans. They fight against injustice and petty kings in the WH. They look not to the government because the government is wrong. They look to core beliefs of justice and equality. Moms who leave their families to make a difference. Teenagers who don't hide behind guns. The ones who lack courage hide in the mountains with guns. They support and vote for the state that fails to adhere to its founding documents.
  18. Most religions don't focus on the political lobby. In most countries its not permitted by law and in the US Israel has a very strong lobby. I personally have no issue with that. Equal to the Israel/ Jewish lobby or more powerful is the Christian lobby. Even though the constitution addresses the separation of religion and the state. You've made it clear that putting the boots to non-believers is acceptable. As long as the political power of the christian church is preserved. No taxes for churches, their ability to receive buckets of cash from the government. The ability to conceal the sources of revenue but to lobby on behalf of their business using that money. One US church has stood up against the perversions of the trump endorsement by evangelicals. The Mormon church. The " a hateful mindset that progressive liberals supposedly" well perhaps the political activism of yourself and your leaders is the cause of that. Islam, Buddhism and the other dozen or so religions in the US have chosen to ignore politics. Yet you don't seem to see any connection. Yes there are Christians who follow a righteous path of god, unfortunately too few of them. "Outside a US congressman’s office, Christians holding homemade protest signs and clergy dressed in their robes and collars attend a march to challenge the separation of families seeking asylum at the US–Mexico border. They join in impassioned chants of “Keep the kids, deport the racists!” and “Lock them up!” referring to those who work for the US Border Patrol. In protesting the dehumanizing ugliness of children being separated from their parents they dehumanize others in return, calling for their rights to be taken away and their freedoms restricted. Inside the offices of a Christian nonprofit organization that provides legal assistance to immigrants, volunteers from a local church assist young immigrants with their DACA applications. These young men and women came to the US with their families when they were children and now find themselves undocumented, unable to live, work, or attend college in the US without the threat of deportation. The volunteers chat with the eager immigrants over donuts and coffee as they navigate the complex paperwork that will allow them to legally remain in their communities." When churches re-establish values above politics. Read that as their support for trump and his ideologies without values. You may find a different response from "liberals".
  19. Good one. Somehow I think she would have daily briefings of Putin's bowel movements as a part of her studies.
  20. Both right of course but you're missing the point. Its like a hockey game where a good clean hit is delivered but the coach with the player who gets hit calls it a cheap shot. He cries and moans and complains to the ref about how the opposing player should have got a game misconduct. Thats a red card for Brits. It all about laying the groundwork for the next period. Evangelicals have owned the WH, stacked the courts, the Senate, etc. Now they want to ensure that their single vote still counts as three above the Blacks, Browns and naturally the heathens.
  21. Everyone knows that churches,i.e. religion is big business. They lobby government, run PAC's, corrupt the election process for their benefit. Kill their enemies, protect corrupt governments. Some participate in killing their opponents and members of other religions. How Putin Uses Russian Orthodoxy to Grow His Empire Trump Wants to Make Churches the New Super PACs Fraud Thriving In U.S. Churches, "More than 10,600 religious organizations have taken at least $3bn in coronavirus financial aid from the US government, according to an analysis by the Guardian, raising concerns about the separation of church and state. The list of recipients of federal Paycheck Protection Program payments includes churches, synagogues, temples and private religious schools. Among them are the ministries of wealthy televangelists accused of fraud" "There is no restriction against churches – which do not pay taxes, don’t have to disclose their funding sources, and aren’t subject to all anti-discrimination laws – from receiving publicly funded forgivable PPP coronavirus relief loans. “The American government at the federal level has never before subsidized houses of worship to pay for the salaries of their clergy,” Laser said. “At Americans United we believe that the first amendment clearly forbids this. The Small Business Administration of the Trump administration may have allowed it, but the constitution forbids it.... Several religious groups whose leaders are reportedly Trump evangelical advisers took between $2m and $5m each.” Why shouldn't the US taxpayer pay for the fuel, pay the pilots, that a G-5 needs to fly evangelical televangelists around the US?
  22. Well his boss has previously stated that protestors are terrorists and journalists guilty of treason. Must have been an upward promotion.
  23. Currently neither political party seems worried about deficits or national debt. When the economy is growing the government shouldn't be running deficits. As it did during the last two years of Obama and all of the trump administration. Let alone trillion dollar deficits(trump years). Spending like drunken sailors comes to mind. Once again "trickle down economics" was proven not to work. As far as any suggestions that anyone could have avoided the economic results from covid. Or done a better job than trump. All you have to do is look at the EU, Australia, NZ, China, Canada, etc. They are already exiting the pandemic while the US is still mired in the first wave. Infections will prevent recovery and holding your breath for "Warp Speed vaccine" salvation is like betting it all on "No Show" in the eighth at Woodbine.
