no, we're locked in. 

It's do or die time.

We had a moderate Dem who primaried Joe Biden and got crushed. No Labels took a strong look at running and decided a moderate candidate didn't have a path to the white House in this election. For the most part there isn't a prominent, proven moderate candidate out there who is actually popular. 

The idea that some magic, mythical Super Moderate political candidate that will pull the country together and have the nation singing kumbaya by a campfire holding hands is a cool idea, but I don't see that it's based in reality. 

 

I don't agree that Biden's problem is that hes "too far left" on issues. He's behind because the middle and lower classes are hurting because of inflation, and higher prices. It doesn't matter that inflation is a world wide problem, or that COVID caused it, or that Biden has stopped from getting worse, or that Biden can't force private corporations who are reaping historically high profits to decrease prices back to more normal. People are hurting now and want to punish the politician that's been in power when the problem started.  

 

 

There were plenty of better candidates. The Dem Leadership locked in on Biden. Just like they locked in on HRC.

Oh there’s no question lol. He’s simply guilty as s***. How he got away with it for so long is laughable. 

He just got thru beating the wrap on the last trial and getting re-elected again. I bet he gets re-elected again this time as well.

Sorry I was working at work and it took me forever. Good for you.

Schumer and the Democrats should have expelled him from the Senate a long time ago.  If he makes it on to the ballot in Nov he could ensure a Republican win.

 

No, he will be re-elected in a landslide. 

Drivel.

While Stiglitz is correct, he is only HALF-assed correct. He makes the incredibly insipid assumption that ALL GOVT IS GOOD GOVT. He dismisses that in 21st America, that both parties AND almost all of Washington DC are owned by Billionaires and Corporations. So I can profoundly reject that all govt is good govt. 

I could do 30 minutes on VA Hospital in Aurora CO. It went 200% over budget, did not have anywhere near the patient rooms it needed, the damn thing was even exempted from the ADA Act access for, you know, disabled veterans. The parking lot was a 1/4 mile away. It took 2-3 extra years to build and was completed with a lot of the needed equipment 2-3 years down the road. Everybody and his brother made out like bandits, overpaid overpaid, overpaid. No one was arrested. Oh yea, it also had $30M in artwork in it.

No one lost their job. Nothing happened to anyone. 

VA Scheduling Scandal rocked the Obama White House. Again, no one is held accountable. Nothing improved. No one lost their job. Veterans died. SSDD in Washington DC. 

For forty years we have been told that the DOEd was going to give us great schools and prepared students. We have gotten forty years of failure. Rural and Urban schools still under produce on a cosmic level and no one is held accountable EVER.

So while trickle-down has proved to be a fail, surely it is a true fail. It is no more a fail than dozens if not hundreds of other Fed Govt programs. Thinking that more failure by different people is a good thing is just another stupid idea. 

Guess I need to “accidentally” watch more of Maher. He is getting the important points right. You just can’t hate half the nation. If that is what your party is telling you then…you need to leave and never listen again.

That was the rest of Collin Rug’s tweet.  Not my language.

Is it wrong to call them by what they go by, though?  Queer for Palestine.

Just because someone is acting like an idiot doesn't mean that I have to participate.

Case in point in Florida:

 

"You are losing people to your cause because of this... Think a little bit. You are causing people to actually hate you." Within minutes of blocking the road for their protest, Florida Highway patrol came to the scene and started making arrests. Three of the queers were arrested while others fled the scene.

I really can’t state how uncomfortable your language is making me. 

"15.2M Students/2300 Arrests half are not students." "Palestine Ranks 15/16 in polling for 18-29 yos."

Do you teach they can continue sinning with Jesus’ approval or try to curtain that activity?  

Curtail. No one advocates continuing to sin.

I applaud your efforts.  I am curious about the statement *ate with the sinners and cured them too*.  Cured them of their sins? Or ailments they had or both?

Both. They accept Him, their sins are forgotten.

I'm curious.  Who - in your opinion - is more Christian, Biden or Trump?

I honestly want to hear him do the tap dance on this. trump may say a thing here or there but Biden has walked and talked the walk almost all his life. trump DOING anything that won’t offend a godly person is a real stretch. He has mocked his marriage vows, business ethics, lied openly and repeatedly on the campaign trail. I can’t find hardly anything he does that would endear him to a Christian person.

be careful they will accuse you of hating god and religion because you agree with the statement i posted

I can handle it. As long as we have each other, that’s all I really need…

As a Christian, what are you doing about it?

I teach/lead two classes locally that concentrate on taking the religion out of “Christianity.”  Jesus ate with the sinners and cured them too. He was about helping all, not just the righteous. I think we in America have totally lost that as an idea. We focus more on the politics and pop culture than on Christ.

How does any of that make sense when it is the Biden Justice Dept going after her now? Her issue really begins in 2023 and onward. That is under a Biden Justice Dept and what djt said 4-6 years ago has zero meaning. 

Vacating 800 Trials prosecuted by former Democrat Prosecutors??? Did she think that was going to go unpunished?

Of course they do, otherwise they will be killed by the terrorists.

The sooner the cancer hamas is rooted out of Gaza, the sooner the Palestinians can live live again. One benefit for the USA is the potential and imbedded terrorists on breeding ground colleges are now being identified during these “protests”.

You are missing the point. This is why Egypt, Jordan, and other ME Nations refuse to take even one refugee from Gaza. They are almost all radicalized. Egypt and Jordan on day one came out and said they would not take one refugee.

It still isn't genocide. 

There is a difference between Hamas and Palestinians.  However, if Hamas is such a small contingent in Gaza, the population should have no problem informing as to where the remaining hostages are and offering the planners of the October 7th massacre to the IDF. Islamic extremism has to be rejected by the population of Gaza, in the same way as it must be rejected by the Afghans, Iraqis, Iranians etc etc etc.

Everyone knows that Iran has been funding Hamas and supplying them with bombs, which Hamas has been launching into Israel well before this conflict began.  What Hamas did on Oct 7th was abhorrent.  They purposefully murdered family members one at a time in front of each other, while taking others hostage and riding them thru the streets of Gaza like trophies, while people celebrated from their open windows and along the streets.

Israel does need to wrap this up and do all they can to prevent any further loss of innocent lives.  However, I cannot blame them for demanding that all of Hamas leadership be either killed or taken into custody.

70-82% of Gazans support Hamas...

Stormy style?  Making him hop up in that chair and rolling up a magazine to spank him with........  Not sure if I want to laugh or take a bath..

You do know what she had to do to get involved with the hush money trial, right? 

Just an observation, but I firmly believe that between Biden and trump, we absolutely have two nominees that daily "sh!t their pants."

We get the govt we deserve, or so I am told. I guess we deserve "sh!t their pants" nominees...

No, I don't recall seeing the sort of footage as is being presently shown every single night. I simply made an honest comment with no nefarious intent. 

And how about your lie saying I "challenged the idea that there were 400K-almost 600K killed by Assad".  How in hell did you extract that from my post?  Another one of your inferences? 

You are one of the most erratic, insulting - and lying - people on this forum and I have no reason to interact with your posts in the future.

 

Whatever. Got any Whataboutisms to bore us to death with today?

The remnants of the Pro-Hamas Protest at UCLA.

I got my masters at an Ivy and know a few kids that go there. For what I’m told, behind the scenes it’s worse. Divisive tension and confrontations everywhere - from the classrooms to the frats. 

So, Jew Hate is open at Ivy League schools?

Even as a very forgiving Christian, I am not soiling my hands nor my shoulders by touching trump.

Just a solid no.
