That's what topless bars are for.

Trump's the Hannibal Lecter of politics. Without the charm.

But will he pay them? WAIT! It's not his money. It's ours. So, of course, he'ill pay them (and himself).

I would have been satisfied with home owners being freed up from their indebtedness to those same banks--who foreclosed on that property and left those folks without a home.

They're owned by Wall Street.

It's our job to fracture that relationship with new blood.

I've always assumed Obama saw the inexperience and ill-preparedness in "W" and didn't want a repeat. So he hit up the last D president for recommendations. Bill Clinton. So of course Obama was fed Goldman Sachs bankers.

Remarkable what old men consider buff.

This is what we need. We need those with standing to speak up and to speak up loudly.

But we've known this since Obama bailed out the banks with OUR trillions but not the homeowners who lost everything.

My mom taught for 25 years. Union teacher. She took care of those first graders like they were her own children. In return, she received adequate pay, medical insurance, and a retirement.

You are. It's on me.

I don't think anyone should codify their faith into law. (That appears to contradict what I wrote earlier-even to me.)

Luckily for me, my personal and religious values mirror humanistic beliefs (and common sense).

I'm just not sure what else you call robbing women of their bodily autonomy because "God said so." Or forbidding gay people the right to marry. And on and on.

If it's not for you, it's not for you. So why stomach anything you're that uncomfortable with?

I think those things I want law are based in the common good. Food. Medicine. Fair wage. But my heart for those things came from my faith. (Now, they're just what I believe is kind and logical for a just society.)

Also. Just to confirm, I'm not a conservative/Evangelical Christian.

Actually, James didn't write it.

I should have written "some believers." But yeah, that states how I feel.

Codify:

Shoot down gay marriage, outlaw abortion, etc. Examples of how Evangelicals codify their faith.

A living wage (even on welfare), free healthcare, etc. Examples of how I want to codify my faith.

Your last point: fair enough.

I am stating my belief. I believe it firmly. But it is merely belief.

I'm saying that not everybody who claims to be his child actually is/hears him. I believe that because a shit ton of evil is done in Christ's name.

31.10.2025 21:17 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I start from belief, right? Christ said many will claim him who aren't his. He basically taught a single OT verse: "Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God." If one isn't that, then they probably aren't his.

Notice I'm not seeking to codify that into law. (Well... I sorta am.)
