I love this. And my Christian faith is center to everything am and everything I do.
Posting the 10 Commandments in elementary school classrooms is likely to cause more spiritual harm than any good they may hope to accomplish. It is just so shortsighted.
Because the reality is that they arenāt doing it to bring spiritual guidance. They are doing it to rub it in the noses of those who would be against it so they can cry religious persecution. Itās all a fucking game.
I think itās more sinister than that; itās to create a challenge to the establishment clause in the courts and let this SCOTUS blow it up.
Today, Coloradoās 4th district has the chance to do the funniest thingā¦
In debate news, the press has been reporting regularly on the difference in debate prep strategy between Biden and Trump, where Biden has been prepping and Trump has been golfing.
They do this without making the leap of logic that Trump isnāt prepping to debate because he isnāt going to debate. He will make a big splash about being told by his lawyers (who will have called him āsirā) that he cannot debate because of the gag order.
Heāll debate, but his idea of a ādebateā and everyone elseās are not in the same universe. Heāll use the TV time to babble and rattle off his unhinged list of grievances and proposed retribution, and then claim loudly that he won the ādebateā, likely the greatest debate performance in the history of the world, Presidential or otherwise. There is little preparation required for that. The MAGAts will swoon. Nothing changes.
The problem heās going to have is that there is someone in the control room - not the moderators - who has a timer and will cut off mics once the time limit is hit.
Biden is going to have a bunch of 90-second hit pieces prepped and Trump will be talking about batteries when his mic is cut before he even gets to the shark.
Iām sure Biden will be all coked up for the debate. Iām looking forward to seeing him crap his pants and be led on and off the stage. Of course the debate is led by CNN so Biden will get some help.
Do you really think thatās going to matter to the MAGAts?
Nothing is going to stop them voting for Trump. Theyāre not Bidenās target for this debate.
You still think there are people who are goingā¦āhmmmā¦this Trump fellow sounds intriguing. Iām not quite sure what heās about thoughā?
I do. Never over-estimate the US electorate.
What will people think about Biden zoning out, having a blank stare and crapping his pants on live tv? Itās laughable that some Democrats think that people will actually be intrigued about a senile old man in his 80ās with dementia shouting gibberish. Other countries are laughing at us.
Absolutely. There are millions of people in this group, people that are, despite everything and quite incredibly, still undecided.
And donāt forget all the propganda blaming Biden for the high cost of living.
A year ago, womenās rights and abortion were the #1 issues in my mind but that has effectively been buried in favor of cost of living in my world.
People WANT to do the right thing and stand up for womenās and reptoductive rights.
People WANT to keep tyrants out of office.
People MUST live and be able to eat and pay bills.
Ignorance and laziness make it very likely that much of the public blames Biden and the Democratic party that they are drowning financially.
Edit: I left out simply being gullible.
I see it on social media from people I know and respect and from perfect strangers.
I I suspect that the undecided voters are less about a lack of knowledge of who the two candidates are and more about a deep sense of dissatisfaction in having to choose between Biden and Trump.
There is poll after poll where people are asked if they are doing well financially, and the response is overwhelmingly āyesā. Same people asked if they think the country is doing well financially and the numbers are a virtual flip. Itās lived reality vs. vibes.
This is the biggest struggle the Biden campaign has: to get the successes of the administration into the forefront of votersā thinking. The media doesnāt help because they will report on the vibes while rarely contrasting that with the reality. It doesnāt help that Trump sucks up all the media oxygen.
Thatās why the debate is a pivotal moment. Itās a chance to confront the bollocks directly in a way that the media will not.
And hence the need to lay out ā clearly and straightforwardly ā the case that inflation is a worldwide problem that would have happened regardless of who was in charge, and likely would have been much worse with an irresponsible lunkhead in charge. Iām sure the campaign is working hard on that message.
I donāt know about the rest of the country, but I pay more in bills and expenses than I ever have.
I make very slightly more money than in past years and it has not been even close to keeping up with my bills.
Due to crazy medical costs and my wife being out of work for months at a time, due to said medical issues, I have cashed out my pension, taken loans vs my 401K, and pillaged my savings just to eat and keep a roof over my head.
Other people may be doing fine and think the country is fine financially.
Families like mine with heavy medical bills and limited income sources due to chronic health conditions and no money to save or invest donāt think that way.
To us, the stock market and interest rates on toys we canāt buy or financial services and products we never use mean nothing.
The price of groceries is what matters.
I am so sorry that youāre in that situation.
You have to make your own choices but, politically, do you think that Trump is more likely to help with your circumstances of Biden?
