  1. It’s way different influencing 435 districts than it is 4 or 5 states. It’s not the electoral college.
  2. Indicator.
  3. I agree. DISCOURAGE idleness. Not DEMONIZE it.
  4. Yes. A specific group. Not a specific universal message to the Thessalonian church ch members. Jesus’ parable is a universal universal message. That part was in the AI quote you used.
  5. Chapter and verse, pal, with context, or you got no cred.
  6. Don’t throw 2 Thessalonians 3:10 at me. That was a message from Paul to the members of the church at Thessaloniki specifically. Jesus’ parable was for all with ears to hear.
  7. I don’t believe you want to start that one. Ever read the parable about the sheep and goats? Matthew 25:31-46. I have a reference. Where’s yours?
  8. Just put them all on corners and give them “will work for food” signs.
  9. Ain’t no stain in ‘dis head. [Hidden Content]
  10. What you tokin ’, Hippie? Russia invaded Ukraine under Trump’s daddy’s order.
  11. What did they do with them?
  12. Allowed it? Are you out of your mind d?
  13. It’s not about pay. It’s about power.
  14. Trump cares for no one but himself. It’s not in him. He’s playing Putin and Zelenskyy and NATO to make himself look good. You can tell everyone what they want to hear only for so long…
  15. Dan Rather called that one way back when 60 Minutes became a profit center for CBS.
  16. I value human dignity and believe our government should project that.
  17. Universal same day registration.
  18. Not when districts are gerrymandered and laws are passed making voting more difficult. When majorities oppose policies of Congress (guns, reproductive rights, immigration, import taxes, income taxes, etc., etc., etc.)and their votes don’t matter, it’s time for something to change.
  19. Just trying to reestablish majority rule.
  20. And importing white people (Afrikaner’s). Race got nothing to do with it?
  21. What does “cleaning out homeless encampments” mean? What are they doing with the encamped?
  22. Tell me about it. Sadly it’s a reflection of the state of political discourse in this country. It’s certainly not a pissing contest to me. It’s what happens when norms are broken and ideology is weaponized. I just try to stick to the facts as I see them. When it turns nasty ugly, I don’t like it but the rules here seem to hold pretty well. 50 years ago I worked for Herman Adams in the state Capitol building. The house was primarily Democrat back then but Herman had friends among the Republicans. As chair of the calendar committee he didn’t shut them out. All representatives were there to help their constituents and promote the general welfare of the State of Texas. Bipartisanship. Courtesy. Respect for rules and traditions. Common goals, different approaches. Today? Unrecognizable and certainly unsustainable.
