  1. You must be very happy with your silent figuring! When trump loses you can make up for it with the same "sushi saki and a couple beers". Perhaps you can help outlive trump by doing your part.. You could be a part of the shrinking 31 percentiles. Post election the GOP old guard will toss the old trumpites but trump is sure to try to peddle his lies and b.s. So the 31% will be the one percenters absent the real republicans trying to rebuild the party. Stick in there because you'll fit.
  2. It takes little effort to understand many issues today if you start with trusted sources of information. Here is one about the FDA former Monsanto official quoted by billeisele.Its from Food Safety News. Another from Politico "Taylor’s departure comes at a particularly crucial time for implementing a massive food safety overhaul that he’s championed throughout his tenure in government....Health advocates are hopeful that Ostroff,(THE NEW HIRE replacing Taylor) who has a background in epidemiology, will stay the course on FSMA and other key issues, but just about everyone also acknowledges that Taylor leaves big shoes to fill. Industry leaders, consumer advocates and state officials all reacted to the news with effusive praise of Taylor’s track record." Stirring the pot by billeisele may be on target. Why would Obama a consumer advocate hire a Monsanto and GMO industry lobbyist to fight against everything he stands for? Its completely counterintuitive. Trump on the other hand has a well established track record of deregulation and incompetent methodology in hiring. Which takes me back to understanding issues. It starts with common sense and reliable sources. This is what gets trump into so much trouble. He can't resist lying and shooting his mouth off about issues of which he knows nothing about.
  3. Perhaps he needs his own Qanon One in four Britons believe in QAnon-linked theories Didn't he promise the world re brexit. i.e. have your cake and eat it too? So he lies like trump about trade. That it can all be a one way street.
  4. If you replied with facts or offered explanations based upon some sort of reasoning your trolling would be less evident.
  5. trump loves to wave the bible so you could have got these insightful quotes from him as well. Below all from the word of christ. "But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ... But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life, ... For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. . If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.” So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the Lord's vengeance on Midian. You shall send a thousand from each of the tribes of Israel to the war.” So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. ... " and on and on there are many many more.

    Q

    Yes trump will be very busy in a second term: Trump wants to end U.S. reliance on Chinese manufacturing ‘once and for all.’ U.S. firms aren’t complying But China has already taken the lead: and has financed about four percent of a total of US $26 trillion net external debt: In fact the US needs China more than China needs the US. This from "Industry Week" a manufacturing based information service primarily aimed at US exporting manufacturing companies. This goes beyond trump's rhetoric because most of trumps supporters don't understand these trade issues.
  7. Bibi uses trump like populism, fear and division except he has brains that work all the time. Nobody has demonstrated such a Teflon political capacity in Israel before. He illustrates the best of trump and McConnell in one person. Naturally some Israeli voters will despise such a person. His legal issues will eventually catch up with him as well.

    Q

    Priceless, even God may have a chuckle on this one before he sends you off to Lucifer for your trump deal.
  9. trump did claim that those children were bought into the US by "coyotes," or human smugglers. A lie specifically intended to deflect justified criticism of his policy. Originally led by Jeff Sessions it was trump who built the "cages" that in another lie shortly thereafter he blamed on Biden. By "asking" him "who built those cages?" Shortly thereafter in a bit of braggadocio he stated "They are so well taken care of, they're in facilities that are so clean." Which of course is at odds to the feelings of his evangelical base who: "The Bible says to welcome immigrants. So why don’t white evangelicals? 68 percent of white evangelicals say America has no responsibility to house refugees."
  10. For Chris%%%%'s sake this whole covid brain numbing thing again! What about: The 1994 Rwanda genocide where christian ministers assisted the murder of the Tutsi ethnic group. Through the entire massacre of 7.7 million people "God" and that was christ was on the side of the Army.
  11. Silly me! I forgot about the christian chaplains in the Wehrmacht in WW1 and WW2?
  12. What about Buddhism and the Rohingya. Is Buddhism a religion as well or do the Rohingya deserve to be raped, slaughtered and ethnically cleansed?
  13. "Trump campaign’s communications director asserted on Friday that the reason some migrant families separated by the administration at the U.S. border have not been reunited is because the parents do not want their children back. ....“You have to locate the parents and when they are located in these other countries in many cases, John, the parents do not want the children sent back to them in their home countries.” Imagine a new phrase inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. Instead of "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore". trump wrote "If climate change, drug gangs feeding America's drug needs and poverty drives you from your homelands. You can thank me for DHS seizing your children, forcing them into internment camps. Because I was the least racist president America ever elected"
  14. Your google algorithm for your IP must be very special.
  15. Women with brains are a severe challenge to white men are not used to cognitive challenges to their world order. There seems to be an exception however. A place where populism, where Murdoch and his disinformation spinning media empire loses to facts. "Labour’s historic win delivered Ardern a second term while voters punished politicians who embraced populism ...“A huge reason that our politics is not so extremely polarised and so far out there is because we no longer have Murdoch-owned press in New Zealand, and it’s never taken a foothold,” said David Cormack, the co-founder of a public relations firm" But its nor fair to blame Murdoch for the _______ of trump's base. They choose to go back to websites that can't find advertisers because they peddle b.s. They choose to go back to their sources of information even though they get proven wrong and wrong again.
  16. Too much FOX and lazy thinking. Most major US news services have already published polls stating that the majority of Americans think there should be no confirmations of USSC justices this close to a election. He knows better but is indifferent to the facts.
  17. Some people have forgot the SOP of trumpists. Lie, deny, make counter accusations and paint defeats as victories. Some "centrists" have the same M.O.
  18. Plaintiff lawyers must love you and put you on their x-mas lists for the best scotch. By the time a action was done involving you their first born would get their first year at Harvard paid off.
  19. I perhaps should have prequalified that with elected republicans. The others have left, my apologies to Mitt Romney,...duh! Perhaps the only GOP member with a backbone and values.
  20. And the winner is. There is an absence of leadership within the GOP. Since McCain died there is only McConnell left and he is responsible for the current state of the GOP. Graham is a follower not a leader. I suggest this because McConnell is alone in standing up to trump, abet in a limited way. Within the last week he shot down a second stimulus bill even though throwing more cash around would help the GOP and trump in this election. Thats not to say that McConnell is not complicit in the trump program. But like trump he is a transactional thinking person. He looks at the end game of specific legislation getting passed and a greater goal of conservationism without values. That corporations pay, that gerrymandering pays, that everything that comes into contact with the tank treads of government pays. With an objective of GOP control of the smallest government possible. A government without values. Before there was trump and Stephen Miller there was Mr. McConnell. Leading the drive to kill Obama's SC appointment.Fighting everything Obama stood for. Here he is leading the GOP charge to appoint SC #3 under trump. Consequence be damned.
  21. James Murdoch,resigned from the board of News Corp this summer with an elliptical statement, saying he was leaving “due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the Company’s news outlets and certain other strategic decisions.... he tried to explain why he “pulled the rip cord,” as he put it, after deepening estrangement with his father and brother and growing discomfort over the toxicity of Fox News and other conservative News Corp properties.... “I reached the conclusion that you can venerate a contest of ideas, if you will, and we all do and that’s important,” he told me. “But it shouldn’t be in a way that hides agendas. A contest of ideas shouldn’t be used to legitimize disinformation. And I think it’s often taken advantage of. And I think at great news organizations, the mission really should be to introduce fact to disperse doubt — not to sow doubt, to obscure fact, if you will." But for those who love "facts" that fit their preconceived, wrong, ideas of trump, economics and politics. You can continue to watch and feed your need for "legitimized disinformation".
  22. What are trump's core values as you define them? Those would properly be describes as his behaviors or attributes. Values would be positive or best attributes of an individual which they would hold up to favorably define their character. They are all true of course but AFAIK trump has never defined nor exhibited any real values. We'll wait for turtlespeed but personally I'm not holding my breath.Naturally his other supporters can chime in.
