Re: POTUS: Definitely Needs Anger Management

So, your 67% number is BS then.

I added a paragraph.

Please fight with Rover instead. The two of you deserve each other.

Nothing can move the needle because it's already pegged. Everybody with the slightest sense of morality and brainpower above a house pet is fully opposed to the baboon and his party of howler monkeys.

We continue to do what is right for the citizens of this country, not the vicious morons whose junta has temporarily captured its government.

Why the 67% does not translate to 67% of the vote is a topic that has been discussed ad infinitum on a hundred other threads. If you think you can do something about that then stop sniveling and get to work.

I've already gotten to work. Go talk to someone else about that.

The recent editorial in the NY Times cites William Barr's motivations as being religious. I grew up in a Christian home. Consider myself one for the most part. And I must have missed Sunday School the day they taught these things.

I guess my overall point is where are these people learning these things? Are they all brainwashed? No one could interpret the Constitution or Christianity this way and have an honest bone in their body. No one.

Are they all just bullies who got away with it?

Some are bullies, some are zealots, some are morons. Those are the three flavors Republicans come in.

But to be fair, Christianity has proven remarkably flexible to different interpretations. Not Jesus' words, which strike me as extremely direct and clear.

"All ye are brethren." (Matthew: 23; 8)

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." (Matthew: 22; 39)

"All things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." (Matthew: 7; 12)

"Let everyone who possesses two shirts share with him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise." (Luke: 3; 11)

"Give to every man that asketh of thee." (Luke: 6; 30)

"Give and it shall be given unto you...for with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." (Luke: 6; 38)

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor...to preach deliverance to the captives." (Luke: 4; 18)

"Woe unto you that are rich, for ye have received your consolation." (Luke: 6; 24).

"No man can serve two masters. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." (Matthew: 6; 24)

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." (Matthew: 19; 23)

"Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you." (Mathew: 7; 7).

Kropotkin couldn't have said it better, though he gave it a good try.

Volunteering? Campaigning? Getting out the vote?

Do you bring your usual fatalistic pessimism while you're doing these things?

No wonder you can't move the needle. "I'm here work I g for Elizabeth Warren, and it urging you to get out and vote this election. But really, its not gonna do any good, cause Trump has packed the courts, and Republicans are subverting the Constitution. But we really need your vote"

Have you been to a white, evangelical Christian service lately? A lot of them are learning it in their church services.

Pretty much every righty noise pollution site is full of this crap, now. Their political, religious, and even "news" sources are 24/7 Creeping F-cktardism. Spend fifteen minutes talking to a few randomly chosen righties and you realize they are all mouthing the same mindless sh-t. It's the factory default now.

“ Acting Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli appears to have deleted a tweet about the suspect charged with the recent stabbing attack at a Hanukkah celebration in New York, in which he said "apparently American values did not take hold" in the man's family although he is a U.S. citizen.

“The attacker is the US Citizen son of an illegal alien ... Apparently, American values did not take hold among this entire family, at least this one violent, and apparently bigoted, son."

Yeah, but, he wasn't a "real" US Citizen. He found one of those liberal loopholes.

This isn't even average Cuccinelli. That guy is so racist even racists say "take it down a notch, brother."
