Joe Ferguson forever

what a google eyed moron https://www.mediaite.com/politics/you-have-no-timeline-senator-gobsmacked-by-fbi-director-kash-patel-showing-up-at-budget-hearing-without-a-budget/

not the point. moving the goal posts again. SC stated that everyone votes in their own interest. this was in response to my post that magas do. he's wrong. you agree that he is. end of story.

That's a relief!

Apparently a favorite of Francis. Appointed women on committee that appoints bishops. Appears to be a progressive at least in regards to social justice.

I've voted consistently for higher taxes on my income bracket and more social safety net spending. So have many liberals (again, look at the demographics). Any D in the top 30% or so, is voting against their own financial interest. So no, everyone doesn't do this... Silver lining, trump's social security income tax proposal and renewal of tax breaks pays for several nice vacations a year if they go through (I'll believe it when I see it). Would I EVER vote for him because of that? NO WAY.

Agreed. MAGAs aren't ideologues. ism's mean nothing as long as policies personally help them. Maybe a new ideology name: "selfishism". Racism as a corollary.

Well, not really. He's a rather bright guy. The rest of the story from 5 years ago (You guys really dig for this marginal stories. He's not a threat. He had to be persuaded to run again). “The first African Americans sent into the English colonies came to Point Comfort in 1619. They were slaves, they had been captured against their will, but they landed in colonies that didn’t have slavery — there were no laws about slavery in the colonies at that time,” Kaine explained. “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it. It got created by the Virginia General Assembly and the legislatures of other states. It got created by the court systems in colonial America that enforced fugitive slave laws.” In a statement to National Review, Kaine attempted to clarify his remarks — which were much longer than the prepared speech released by his office. “There was no law mandating slavery on our shores when African slaves came ashore in 1619. Did slavery already exist in the world? Of course. But not in the laws of colonial America at the time,” Kaine explained. “We could have been a nation completely without the institution. But colonial legislatures and courts, and eventually the U.S. legal system, created the institution on our shores and maintained slavery until the 13th Amendment. As I said, we didn’t inherit it. We chose to create it.”

Maybe you should focus on acquiring a valuable skill so you don’t need to compete against Asians making peanuts. There is no 80/20 issue when the president says he doesn’t know if he must follow the constitution. The 50.2% of voters who didn’t vote for trump aren’t likely to support him after that. Just so you know, 50.2 % is a majority and is more than 20%

I saw this yesterday. Your cited piece fits right in with the idea of a broligarchy. This journalist was raked over the coals for suggesting it.

Almost an hour on all the conflicts of interest so far. Yup, it involves his sons and son in law too. you might want to wait for the transcript. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/07/1249592912/president-trumps-conflicts-of-interest a related article https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/revealed-trump-family-on-a-marathon-of-lucrative-foreign-deal-making-while-no-one-notices/ar-AA1EbtVu

trump the socialist https://www.mediaite.com/news/trump-is-a-socialist-conservative-writer-goes-there-in-scathing-column-that-asks-any-guess-who-the-serfs-are-going-to-be/

yes, but I'm not the president.

stop denigrating maga voters. Carney flattered trump. that's how you negotiate with a malignant narcissist

and what if they say no? you believe you could get it through leverage. Do you take it?

This is funny a vulgar president mocking the dead pope, not so much

Except none of that is true and accurate. Abortion: Asked and answered. slave labor: Chinese peasants are rioting over less work. Better some pay than none. Migrants: Have at least rudimentary hearings. Stop the carnival shows.

there's no emoji for "I'm not so sure."

I always felt the anti Christ was fully symbolic and allegorical. Now, I'm not so sure. https://biblicalpathway.com/what-does-the-bible-say-the-antichrist-will-look-like/

whatever floats your boat, especially as a couple. My wife was raised Anglican. I like the liberalism within that church. Could've gone Episcopalian here but she could see I'm fully indoctrinated. I have Jewish friends who feel the same way: It's part of their identity. She's quite pragmatic. She doesn't feel the team you choose much matters. It's that you choose one and follow it., The important stuff is all the same. Love one another. I enjoy the intellectual aspects and just disagree with you once again.

In George Orwell's 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the world is divided into three superstates: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, who are all fighting each other in a perpetual war in a disputed area mostly located around the equator. All that Oceania's citizens know about the world is whatever the Party wants them to know, so how the world evolved into the three states is unknown; and it is also unknown to the reader whether they actually exist in the novel's reality, or whether they are a storyline invented by the Party to advance social control.

well, they could do an episode at the rock and roll hall of fame, cleveland clinic and walleye fishing on lake erie. someone could be knocked overboard or have a guitar broken over their head. A character may need a rare condition diagnosed. It could be great!

aww, dude, did the nuns whack your knuckles too hard? A 2000 year old institution has some blemishes. I particularly disagree with clergy celibacy and no female priests. My current priest is awful in that he's clearly MAGA. You take the good with the bad. I think the good, including Francis, far outweighs the bad. You do you. Enjoy your particular flavor. My comment mentioned the Nicene creed being ecumenical, meaning that several later Christian iterations recite it. Which means they all spring from the same root: Catholicism- dating back to at least 325 AD. So really, you've just chosen a different branch of the Catholic church. Most importantly to me and what I'm most interested in is what you believe Jesus would think of trump, his tactics, his treatment of migrants and the poor, his saber rattling, his divisiveness, his lying, his adultery, his stealing etc.

The White Lotus in Cleveland. just another episode of trump's newest reality show. lots of circuses, not much bread...

is this from a Montana news station that interviewed a white supremacist source about immigration flights that you posted? cool. but seriously, there are stupid D voters who can be influenced by banal, juvenile propaganda as well. it's worked on maga morons so why not for us?
