Corky,

"There's no indication that Hil would have forced churches to teach homosexuality."

Incomplete sentence but I got what you meant.

Hillary is not who might challenge churches teaching "homosexuality is a sin" and claim it is discrimination at the Supreme Court.

Hillary's part would be putting in 3 crazy left judges.

I'm not deflecting with immigration. I'm using it as something Hillary would have done had she won.

Trump has basically shut down the border.

Hillary would most certainly have opened the border further until all the Governors themselves started picketing the White House.

But let's go back to Gay Marriage.

Corky,

Funny it's not.

Sad you think it is.

The implications for the future of America if Hillary had won were chaos.

Imagine laxing the borders even more. She would have.

Would we be seeing a tidal wave of people from South America swamping the United States?

I didn't mean to post yet....fat fingers.

I meant this.....

If Hillary had won, maybe church doctrine teaching homosexuality is a sin would be considered "discrimination" and force churches to modify their doctrine or at least stop teaching it? Freedom of Religion might be at risk if liberals could handily win in the Supreme Court. Freedom of Speech could be at risk.

Lamp,

"The only reason that Gay Marriage may be at risk would be to Pres Trump's stuffing of the Supreme Court."

The alternative was Hillary winning and letting her select the nominees.

If that had occurred I fear the worst case could be possible. We might see the Supreme Court codify women accepting males into their restrooms.

I mean, I never expected to see Gay Marriage pass and it did. I didn't expect it. What else is possible?

If Maybe church doctrine teaching homosexuality is a sin is discrimination and force churches to modify their doctrine or at least stop teaching it? Freedom of Religion might be at risk if liberals could handily win in the Supreme Court. Freedom of Speech could be at risk.

I'm all for gay couples getting legal protection. Don't get me wrong.

However, I feared 3 more liberal judges on the court would probably give them everything they ever wanted.

Hopefully, in October the court will make the right decision.

Legal,

VBA has been around for decades. Microsoft has had no choice but to continue supporting it. It integrates with Office products easily.

It's not hard to learn and as you acquire more programming skills, the more you can utilize it.

Millions of companies continue to rely on legacy VBA macros for finance, logistics, reporting, and engineering.

Microsoft has tried to ease people off of it, but VBA is too entrenched to kill off.

Legal,

"Scripts ain't AI"

I never said BASIC or VBA is AI. And VBA isn't scripts. It is closer to full a fledge programming language.

One particular program I created condensed what took 2 days into 30 minutes at the most...usually about 10 once you knew how to use it.

Over the years I wrote multiple Visual Basic or VBA programs that greatly simplified mine or something else's job.

That is the point.

Now people will have AI at their disposal.

Instead of whining about it, learn to use it.

The 'into you" part was sardonic.

You have to have a sense of humor.

Sorry.

AI isn't going anywhere. It's already baked into your software, your phone, your toaster...and soon, into you.

You can scream about "AI slop" all you want, but the tide's not stopping.

The smart move is to start using it now to free up your time, working more efficiently, and get more done.

Because like it or not, you'll be competing against people who already are.

Personally, as a now retired accountant, and extremely experienced with, starting from BASICA, QUICKBASIC PDS, Visual Studio, and VBA for Excel, I learned years ago to automate time consuming, some tedious, repetitive tasks and even highly complex numbers and decisions making what might take a whole day, be done in minutes.

I know how AI is going to change the world. I can see it already.

Get with the program (no pun intended)

Johnny,

"receives bj's on demand"

Santos?

I suspect it would actually be,

"Giving good head on demand"

Jpw,

'Is this real?'

You be the judge.

Jesse Waters also threw out the option of gasing the building.

Something about they tried to harm the first lady because the escalator was broken.

To me, an important detail in every mass shooting is what drugs were in the shooter's system when they snapped.

And yet there are no credible, consistent sources reporting that information.

Contrary to what pro-drug advocates might claim, this matters. It could help establish a profile or pattern we're missing.

Msgt,

I wrote this earlier. In case anyone missed it.

Kimmel needs to bring back the slo-mo juggies on trampolines.

It worked for him on The Man Show.

What? Is he too classy for the juggies now?

I don't watch Kimmel and could care less what he thinks.

But pulling him off the air wasn't right. He has the same right to speak as anyone else. If you don't like him, don't watch him.

And let's not forget. This is the same playbook we saw during COVID, when doctors were silenced for "misinformation," only for some of them to be later proven right.

That's a double standard. When the left cancels someone, it's "accountability." When one of their own gets muted, suddenly it's an attack on democracy.

Free speech matters even when it's someone we dislike.

That's would make ratings rise.

You think he'll bring back juggies on trampolines?

Laura,

"At least she's not a traitor to the to the United States of America"

Laura,

"At least she's not a traitor to the United States of America."

Oh, really? The Biden family took millions from China, Ukraine, and who knows where else while Joe was VP. They were selling influence like it was a yard sale.

If that's not betraying the country for personal gain, what is?

Laura,

Yea...Kamala in office...

ROFLMMFAO HEHEHEHEHE

Yav,

Would love to see SNL do a good balanced skit on Kimmel like they used to.

But Noooooooooooooo...they won't.

(who'se old enough here to who I should credit)

Gal,

"Trump wants to be a king so badly, maybe we should call him the King of Greed."

But he can't be a king, can he? Don't go all Tom Hanks with the "oh me, oh my" face.

Years ago I saw Trump use bankruptcy as a business plan and yes, back then even I did the "oh me oh my" face.

Now? So what. Is he functioning within the law? Ummm ... who knows. Like he said in a debate, he's rich and takes advantage of every loophole he can. If you don't like it, change the laws.

What do we need in the White House? Mr. Clean or someone who plays to win?

Get real. He's not running for Pope.

It's a hard, nasty world. For now, he's the man for the job and not another wimpy Democrat.

We've got wars, a shaky economy, enemies within our own border and somehow he's still standing.

He's like the Energizer Bunny. "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'". (Yes, I'm showing my age " who remembers that ad campaign?)

I've estimated about a quarter of the US still won't see it.

Lamp,

The 80's was a decade of massive change. We were told "greed is good" by Gordon Gekko. Not only was it good, it was fashionable and even morally acceptable.

"Money, Money, Money" became the anthem. Even religion and the counterculture sold out. Televangelists built empires, MTV turned rebellion into a TV ad, and yesterday's flower children traded beads for BMWs.

At any cost, the ends justified the means.

This mindset rolled right into the 90s, where deregulation and cozy oversight let things like Enron's accounting games flourish until the whole house of cards collapsed in 2001, reminding everyone that when greed becomes a virtue, collapse is right around the corner.

Hel,

"Made me a hippy liberal real quick."

From my observation, a lot of the hippy liberals sold out in the 80's and became capitalists once they realized "free love" wasn't actually free.

Hel,

"I had fundamentalist relatives in a doomsday cult. Had to spend summers and holidays with them. Made me a hippy liberal real quick.
Living wage, colorblind society, peace, medicare for all, and tariffs on the slave nations. Been that way since I was like 12 or something."

When the world didn't end, what did they tell you?

Eb,

"You flipped your political ideology over a ------ Amway pitch?"

Did you catch that I said "last straw".

You and Dan just can't see suttle clues.

You and tons of other people pick up a word or single thought and build an entire conclusion what it means.

Ok..more true story.

Once I had a job that sent me to Falwell's elementary school for the day. One of the teachers showed me a memo all teachers were now required to donate 10% of their paycheck to his church. That mixed with my observations about Moral Majority and Reagan mocking my faith and seeing so many going along with it just upset me.

Then soon after I attended a Sunday school get together and they fooled us into watching a presentation. He had a captive audience.

Thus "last straw". I take my faith serious and felt like I was lied to and tricked. And yelling at his wife "make lots of money". It was an Amway presentation and not a social function.

Dan,

"Gay marriage".

Lame
