Hey Brian, I'm saying "left off", WTF s up a pres. who is appears a compulsive liar, womeniser,(me too, yea, not the liaing bit), cheater,con artist, and general blow hard, receiveing approval from christians is so anti Christian ethics, And quite the typical, hypocritical, behavior of same!!!
I have a video on this very topic coming up later this month.
You're not hysterical Bri-Bri, you're realistic like so many of us others living in reality!
It's... not just you, Brian. A lot of us are getting ground down to the point where words are difficult and we're reduced to mutely gesturing at the piles of smoldering garbage around us while giving our idiot president's supporters the best "seriously?" face we have. Honestly, you could just do that for a 3-4 minute video, if you wanted. The value isn't in saying something new, it's in letting the rest of us know that we're not alone in feeling the way we do.
No, Bri-Bri, you are not being hysterical. You are being spot on. If you are looking for another period that is comparable to now, consider the decades prior to the Civil War. religions was in high dudgeon and was clamoring to be included in government. The religious polarization actually trigger the way (IMHO of course) and that if the religious had been more conciliatory, the Civil War may not have happened.
That’s interesting. I don’t think the Tribal War god of Abraham religions can be conciliatory, can they?
Too hysterical. We all recognize the malignancy that is the Trump administration. We now need to turn strategic. We need to nominate the candidate who can beat him. That means we need to nominate a candidate who can reach Trump voters! We are all on board against him. We are all at a loss for words about each new horrifying thing he does. We need to put our differences aside and focus on bringing out huge numbers of voters. We need to give up the idea of choosing a Democratic candidate the WE prefer and find the one that THEY can bring themselves to vote for; a candidate who can entice voters away from Trump. I think they are out there -- people who voted for Trump but are now turned off by his actions. They may be tempted away from supporting him if we offer them a palatable alternative. But that won't happen with talk of extreme giveaways like eliminating student debt and doing away with private health insurance.
Brian, how about you deal with the fact that Trump has committed each and every one of the 7 Deadly Sins and continues to commit at least one every day (rage seems to be his favorite) and still he is loved by the fundies and in Matthew 25-41-43, it says he is going straight to hell (I wish I believed in a hell for him to go to) for his treatment of asylum seekers--if they believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, it's pretty hard to do a workaround of that
Not hysterical enough. We cannot let fascist dictator behavior turn into the "new normal." And "evangenitals?" Did I hear that correctly? If so, then good one. If not then I'll take it. With their 75% voting for and approval of Mango Mussolini most of them have revealed themselves for the lying bigoted authoritarian liars they always were. No one even needs the special sunglasses from "The Live" to see them clearly now.
Mango Mussolini is my new favorite nickname. Made me LOL!!!
Since Trump trampled on the political stage, I am following US politics more intensively than our own here in GER. At first, because it was more ridiculous and entertaining. Meanwhile, because it is threatening on a global scale. In all of this planetary disaster, just two things give me a little hope: the global resistance that was awakened (I never even dreamed of protest marching on Fridays with my kids, now at the age of 55...) and how severe Trump has massacred the GOP and their religious supporters (what also is the key issue of your vid, Brian). Will they ever recover from thrashing merely all of their (ultra-)conservative values? We must not let the voter forget all so easy, how far these pathetic henchmen willingly went under #45.
Well said. And in a second language?!!! We’re so ridiculously privileged.
Gotta admit: I'm now hoping that more civilized nations will start granting us asylum.
Afraid we cannot help you in the UK- the lunatics are in charge here too, Determined to close the borders.
Well, you can ask the native Americans about this country being founded on the principle of basic human decency, but I get your point. It used to be that we could pretty much be confident that the two parties were trying, each in their own way, to make things better. The differences they had were over how to do that. That's no longer the case. Now we have a Villain Party. A party that wakes up in the morning and wrings its hands, cackling over who it can make to suffer today. They are a Snidely Whiplash cartoon, something I used to think was over-the-top and unrealistic. Shows how much I know.
I too am at a loss of words. . . or understanding it.
I have started asking people on the right why they hate this country so much. They are usually so surprised that I can mention what this great country used to stand for and ask them why they don't stand for those things. These people have positions that are in no way patriotic and need to have that pointed out. It is better to start with a question not an assertion.
