    Wall?

    Was it a wall of hate when Obama and bill clinton promised to build it?

    And yet, my religious views are and remain the exact opposite of republicans.

    The price was paid to not have Clinton. Getting the wall started was a bonus.

    You’re on the extreme on purpose here. So I’ll choose my words more carefully Freedom of religion must include freedom from religion. And you know exactly where I stand. Start with taxing: Religious groups take in billions every year. They “give” out a few million, if that. You complain about Musk and Bezos and the like, wealthy people. And ignore the single largest money sink in the country! They get building code waivers. They get tax waivers. They get existence waivers. There’s a separation between public and private that has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with private rights. Your own novel is quite fine as long as you keep it to yourself. But your idea of ‘religious studies’ is the very slope you will die on. When you call it religion, vs belief or myth, and approach it as a a science rather than philosophy; that’s where we wind up with intelligent design. you be-line to education. If killing public studies is the side effect of removing the 10 commandments from courthouses and cloud people from currency so be it. Obama was a christian. You going to attack me for that? You voted for Biden, a Catholic. So a ‘you voted’ is a bit empty here.

    Oh, the work!

    Wow, a law that makes you work harder. The horror of having to monitor reports. A simple change to community flagging would make the moderation job easier. Allowing the community to be the moderator. Where have I seen that work well… oh, I remember. TechDirt.

    A border fence or wall is a method of security used across the world. The vast majority of this country is immigrants. We should shore up and accelerate legal immigration. However if your fast act of entering the country is a crime, you should be deported, and without the ability to return. I have never called them invaders. I’ve used correct and accurate terms such as trespassers, criminals, illegal aliens, but I’ve never called them invaders.

    I bet you have some kind of Confederate flag in your possession.
    No, but I refuse to single-issue the war either. Like how you simply blow off the illegal raid of a state munitions depot.
    And if they’re not, well, fuck pregnant and trans people, huh?
    Well, 50-some years and the Dems didn’t think to do a damn thing? You think they care beyond talking points? Don’t be naive! Very few of our rights are not in words on paper.
    who gave massive tax breaks to corporations.
    Not a wise decision on his part to sign breaks.
    What, and the Republican method of “fuck everyone but corporations and the obscenely wealthy” is better?
    Not better, a different type of bad. The difference, though, is the Republicans just keep finding ways to help the wealthy get wealthier. The dems are looking at taking real taxes from non-tradable insecure value. Taxing fluctuating value in stocks is going to hit any American with a bank account to some degree. But much of this country has investments. They will hit a family at $50,000 per year by going after their stocks. That doesn’t help. It creates more people in need. Both parties are shite on finances. But only one actively try’s to hurt the middle and lower class. Again, the sooner the old rich fucks in the party get dumped the sooner the party can actually fix things.
    Even his own fucking wife
    I see you read the times review of the new book. Looks to be an interesting read despite the clear bias of the authors. Without a vaccine, I’m not sure what more he could of done legally. He tried to shut down inbound travel from China but was opposed. Maybe more strength on social distancing. But the reality is the majority of deaths took place under democrat policy. Trump may have been able to have been better but he’s not alone in fault.
    “Lawful” doesn’t mean “morally righteous”
    No, it means lawful. As for the civil war, … do you know what percentage of the population owned slaves? It’s a fallacy to say it was a war about slavery! Keep in mind Lee was offered, and considered, General of the Army by Lincoln. An offer he turned down because of the act, that may well have been treason, of violating state sovereignty by military force and occupation. No, the civil war was purely a constitutional war. Self governance. Slavery was one (albeit large) part of that.
    by trying to outright ban its usage in any educational institution?
    Education should be factual?
    You underestimate hatred and the anger of right-wing grievance
    Refer to official vote counts. Trump didn’t win on republican votes. There weren’t enough. He won by the independent vote combined. Clinton was that bad a choice for many, such as (true) socialists, libertarians, greens, etc. the same groups that would have stood behind Sanders, myself included. Her globalist, pro-intervention, corporate placating, media censoring, … policies were far too much for the left leaning independent vote

    getting the U.S. out of foreign countries
    That would be a great thing. We have zero business being involved in other country’s affairs. As for immigration, the best solution is more courts to deal with the requests. There’d also be many less trying to get in if we stopped propping up dictatorships. 80 years of dictators to fight atheism, er, communism.

    Trump has no 24 chance

    Funny, I don’t see you doing that here “on a regular basis
    Not that I expect you to read every comment, but it’s a rather common practice for me. I’ll skip over the bin-equivalence of condone and condemn
    subtext
    I’ll stick to what’s actually said. Not some imagined “subtext”.
    I can’t imagine
    Based on all the footage msnbc refused to run, because those that were let in were non-violent, not overly combative, and completely unarmed?
    How can you not hate someone you legitimately believe is an agent of Chaos Herself?
    My hatred is reserved for one person.
    unwillingness to address the pandemic
    Given the early indications, it was not believed to be as problematic at the time. Obama did no better with swine flu. Notice I do complain much on that either despair permanently harming a family member. But trump supported the vax from day one. Among other drug possibilities prior to the vax being available. It was the democrats who spent months pounding against it. Apparently the fud from them was just that as the development and release was scientifically sound. Given us having one of the highest survival rates in the world. In fact despite the reduced testing period the vaccine has less than a fraction of a fraction of a percent point of side effects.
    There ain’t that many people doing that these days
    No, they shut up after Biden won. Most trump supporters shut up at this point too.
    But you aren’t. So I don’t.
    It’s not my fault nobody pays attention to all the times I do so. Just too hard to accept I may be closer to what I say than they believe?
    stubborn little bitch
    Yes. Partly genetic. Partly environmental. Stubborn. And occasionally bytchy.
    Rationalize it all you want
    Ok
    Not for fifty years
    The wrong decision, one in violation of the constitution, lasting for 50 years doesn’t change it being wrong. Maybe if the Dems had done their job and codified it into law, as so many current rights are…???!!!
    Donald Trump ran for president in 2016 literally because Barack Obama insulted him?
    I can’t forget what I didn’t know (if it’s true). I didn’t follow the process. Just the vote. Her, or him.
    when anyone presents you with links
    Link. So often to a list that I half agree with and half disagree with. The majority just showing he’s a jerk.
    I don’t think the Founding Fathers intended
    Dems have had 50 years to codify the right properly. Maybe ask why they didn’t even when they had both houses AND the executive?
    Trump has a history of endorsing violence
    Yet, where the quote where Trump called for violence? Time and again I say quote him. Yet you don’t.
    doesn’t mean I can’t call out violence
    As I have constantly done since that day? Have you once condemned the burning of an occupied court house? The looting. The assaults. The lawlessness that accompanied the fringe of BLM protests as you do the fringe of Jan 6?
    magical boundary that marks a line between legal and illegal acts
    If it’s not illegal, it’s not. If it is, it is.
    specifically
    Partly. I was completely clear on that. The other major concern being who would actually be directing the motions of a man suffering from dementia. Come 24 there’s a good chance the likes of the current elite is powerless enough the party ultimately runs a young, rational candidate. One very likely to appeal to me. I also don’t see trump being the main party candidate. He’s too divisive. Too uncontrollable. Too unhinged. The new and now we’ll documented Greenland saga makes that clear.

    LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 15 Sep, 2022 @ 05:16pm

    Still…why?

    Nobody cares about the employee loss except the employees and their families. They kept their customer promise of not changing rates. That promise remains as stated. The big question for me, as a T-Mobile user, is Wtf they did this for! I have yet to figure out how merging the best service in the country, T-Mobile, with the just-barely second-worst company was a benefit to anyone. What did they gain? Besides the name of a terrible bag of crap. The. And now it just appears pointless!

    Calling Afghanistan as Bush’s doing is a bit disingenuous. They attacked us first. Wtf Iraq had to do with it…???!!! The Obama story saddens me. I worked as a volunteer for both campaigns. And truly supported him. But he got hamstrung by not just republicans, but elitist Dems well. He pushed for reasonable tax policy against corporations. But the Dems elites had different plans. His push for reasonable green policy was fought by reps wanting less and dems wanting more. Eventually he found his second term falling into just another table Dem. And he’s stayed at that table since.

    You really do refuse to acknowledge
    Simply put, I just don’t see it. You immediately go to abortion, but I’m a constitutionalist. A strong supporter of states’ rights. A court can not make law, only judge the law as it stands. RvW was a bench law. And thus unconstitutional use of power. Abortion rights, trans rights, must be codified in federal law. Just like race and voting and women’s rights were.
    seat. It wasn’t Biden who handed out a sweet tax deal to corporations
    No, and I disagree with both parties, and you. Tax breaks for corporations hurts the population. But I also completely agree with income caps and taxing individuals more. Especially since the Dem method would decimate the financial standing of much of middle-class America with the bizarre attempt to tax money that is non-exchangeable. Eg stocks. I disagree with your belief in numbers without context re covid. We were one of the best response by population outcomes in the world. A large chunk of those deaths occurred in Democrat controlled cities. Showing it wasn’t purely Republican failure.
    very fine people on both sides
    There were lawful protesters on both sides. You may disagree with their stance, but that doesn’t make them any less of a person. We have a different view on how to handle historical reality. For one thing: having a good cause doesn’t absolve you from criminal activity. And while many who support civil war monuments are or represent racist ideology, it wasn’t the whole. As much as you want to focus on one of the primary issues alone, it was neither the only issue, nor the only major one.
    It wasn’t Biden who had protesters teargassed
    Nor was it trump. That was done outside his chain of command. The idea has been debunked by many left-leaning sources as well.
    The 1619 Project
    Is so factually flawed as to be a direct threat to historical education. The rest: Trump is a bull-headed self aggrandising mega-turd. A bully with or without power. I hate much of his personality. Trump made many bad choices and it’s clear today that he would have been far worse without his cabinet keeping things realistic and on track. But you should keep in mind, enough independent voters cast for him to win. There’s a deep independent hatred for Clinton for many reasons. Some legit, some less so. But, would trump have been elected if the Dems didn’t rig the system against sanders? We’ll never know. But I find it doubtful.

    Unfortunately for you most politicians have some crazed ideas too. And personal vendettas. You try to tarnish me, but people like me are the non-party voters. Those most likely to give you the actual socialist ideas so many dems want. Because I support free healthcare, free public education, social financial base, for every American citizen. A slow, methodical shift away from oil energy. Most people in politics who believe such things have some ideas that are a bit personal. Like not believing we should supply anything to people who break the law day one. Or the fact that I don’t support freedom of religion. I’m totally against public display in government. I’d ban all religious materials from public institutions. But you keep your partisan thoughts nice and close. It’s the reason nothing ever changes in this country. There’s no compromise unless it’s extreme.

    I understand majority beyond in charge. I also understand politics enough to know how filing complaints locally slows things down. Such as the EPA. It took years to build I355 well over a canal marsh because a few people complained to the EPA. Until 2016 the wall wasn’t partisan. I supported it when Bill clinton spoke of it. Bush II, who got sidetracked with 911 and his holy crusade. Obama as well. In fact, go back to an earlier discussion here you’ll find I don’t even like trump’s wall plan. How disruptive it would be to wildlife. Endangered wildlife such as the spotted sand crawler, the northern jaguar, and the southern dark puma subspecies. But any wall was better than no wall and it could be ‘fixed’ later.
