So you figure making the US a dictatorship will be SO much better. People will be throwing flowers at the military troops arresting US citizens for daring to protest the dark side of the feds and repubs.

Look within and what’s going on, although I know you don’t have that ability like sue.

@sonhouse said
Yeah, it is clear you ABSOLUTELY HATE people telling the truth to power.

Something you rarely see in a talking head, Rachel asks people she interviews, did I get any of that wrong, if so tell me where I got it wrong.
THAT you don't see in FOX news or newsmax.

Think what you want, she’s a flake that lies and puts propaganda out and shows half truths. How about gutfeld being the number one show, where is she?

One moment please while I roll out the chalkboard so we can map your constellation. 😉

You mean like dems have been doing for a long time, look within before attacking.

And you think it is ok for TRUMP to be ordering STATES to gerrymander in the MIDDLE of the ten year time frame which is how gerrymandering goes.
I bet NONE of your ultrarightwingnuts repubs would EVER want to even DISCUSS ending gerrymandering because they KNOW the polls are showing Trump and republicans WAY down in the numbers, underground in almost every category.
Trump down as much as 20 point in handling the economy, even below ground handling IMMIGRATION.
So LITERALLY Repubs want to make Trump a LITERAL KING.

In other words, YES, you are FROTHING at the mouth for a dictatorship.

@Arkturos said
OK, now I'm going to talk about you again, despite your childish, potty-mouth language.

If you really are Christian (as you have claimed to be), then I challenge you to these three practices:

Benevolence towards all others.
Indulgence of the imperfections of others.
Forgiveness of transgressions.

Whose world do you think we live in?

When I see sue talking about trumps death can’t happen soon enough with wildgrass and the violence that’s happened recently, yes it sets me off, I’m human and fed up with this mindset. The thing I pray for most is for Christ to help me to have a heart of turning the other cheek. I have done this my whole life and nothing good has ever come from it, but I do try and pray for it, and have the desire unlike others here.

I have no need to talk left wing propaganda with you, it’s just stupid, especially coming from people like you.

What network does that person talk? Who is Gutfeld? and BTW you clearly HATE ANYONE who tells the truth about how vindictive and morally dead Trump really is.
I have no doubt you figure the so called speech Trump and hegseth made to the 4 stars were met by total enthusiastic responses by the stars.

I care about, have love and understanding in my heart for them. It’s the actions of many I don’t agree with along with words and understandings of I take issue with and feel strongly against. I also have societal issues and don’t fit in, in social situations along with certain sound issues, and other things. I’m not making fun of them or think their dumb or anything, I was just being honest, overall from what I’ve seen, and it’s usually just in certain areas .

I am not "one of them". I am one of us. How about you?

"Othering" is what people have called it in recent times.

"Demonizing" is what people have called it in prior times.

I don't mean to be condescending, but just because some of "them" do something doesn't mean ALL of "them" do that -- just like with any demographic. That used to be called prejudice or something like that.

And here is something else to consider: Everyone (except for evil people, of course) who is brave enough to live as themselves as much as they can (no matter how boldly or quietly) despite the homogenizing tendencies of human societies holds the door of freedom open for everyone else.

Right, says the dude who expects a nice cushy job when Trump DOES get anointed KING TRUMP.

The Jewish and Catholic traditions teach this:

Don't think evil thoughts.
If you can't manage that, at least don't say evil things. (I think that might include forum posts).
If you can't even manage that, at least don't do evil things.

Hoping that helps!

The Democrats are trying to use leverage to extend the 2021 ACA Premium increase and roll back the cuts in health care spending the Republicans voted for earlier this year to very partially fund their gigantic tax cut.

Is that so hard to grasp?

Why is there an ACA premium increase needed?

Is it true this will add 1 trillion more to the debt?

That would be the Didn’t Earn It group that’s not merit based.

Glad to see you waking up about Hegseth.

No, just pull it out of the vault being saved by cutting all social programs.

I know you were saving it for Trump's obscene tax cut for the rich, but normal citizens don't want that.
