Federal workers traumatized and demoralized?

Mission Accomplished.

-Russ Vought

Director of the Office of Budget and Management (OMB).

The National Weather Service was one of the best organizations in the U.S. government. A very capable organization of dedicated scientists using the latest technology with one mission. The protection of life and property.

Until the gaze from the Eye of Mordor fell upon it.

Imagine how demoralized they must feel today.

You are not a sane man.

You support insane tyrannical policies of an insane man ... a Mad King. A wannabe dictator.

We do not live in a sane world. Going mad. Gettin mad. Gettin down with the Sickness may be an answer to surviving in a sick world. Who are you to say? Just another madman.

Many will be driven to madness. Many to violence. Many to drugs. Many to war. Many to so many other addictions and distractions.

Look at yourself for instance. Addicted to sticking your head way up Trumpy's arse. As far as it can go.

Weird.

Tin soldiers and Trumpy comin ...
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
More dead in [your state here]

I believe in separation of Church and State. However, if you are a professing Christian the rules change for you. You should be doing what I believe a Christian should do, although I'm not a Christian and have no personal experience to speak from. I just read about it and feel qualified to tell you what you should do as a Christian.

Like I said. Sometimes for people with thick skulls I do have to repeat myself.

I believe in the separation of church and state because my country was founded on that belief and no man or woman should be forced to believe any one myth and the church can and has become a corrupting and unelected power. I believe in freedom FROM religion as well as freedom of religion.

I believe that you claim to be a Christian you should act like one. Not tell us to follow Jesus then treat your fellow humans as animals.

I was born into the world of Christian faith. I have experienced the Christian faith when I was younger. I was saved. I believed. Until I didn't. I was even on the church debate team. We debated The Acts.

"When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways"

Now that I am older I have some experience with ALL religions.

I believe I am qualified to tell you if you are following your faith or just picking and choosing the stuff you want to follow.

Again. I believe one does NOT have to be a Christian to understand Christians.

I believe that the problem with the followers of Christianity (and Islam) is that they are narrow minded and think THEIR faith is the only true faith and everyone should believe what they believe.

Yes this angers me.

Islam and Christianity have both used force to make others adhere to their beliefs. Christianity and Islam are right now using politics and physical force to MAKE others to adhere to their beliefs.

I believe that right now they are using political power and violence to force others to adhere to their beliefs.

Yes this angers me.

But because of my philosophical beliefs my mind is just fine thank you. No storms here. When storms arise my faith gives me the tools I need to deal with it beside "thoughts and prayers".

Pro tip: meditation works way better than "thoughts and prayers".

Btw- You are the one who hears a voice in your head and thinks it is a god. Sorry to break it to you child.

It is just you. Talking to yourself. You are your own "higher power".

Mars is throwing rocks at us?

Call out the national guard.

Send in the Marines!

We'll see how the tampering attempts go, and you know those will be happening. But there will be no cancellation.

Russia still holds elections.

Surprise. Putin won in a landslide. With apparently no competition. For some reason they all decided to go to jail instead of run for office. And Putin just changed the constitution so he could stay in power.

In Russia they have 90% voter participation. Highest in Russian history! Amazing. No?

In Putin's Russia you vill vote. You vill vote for Putin. And you vill like it.

You're just repeating yourself and I'm not going to. I put time into writing them.

If you reply to my posts with just more insults or tunnel vision, don't expect any sort of response from me.

I won't see you.

I am not repeating myself. But I am consistent.

Tho as a teacher myself I have learned that repeating is sometimes necessary for some with thick skulls or who cannot hear past the voices in their heads.

I understand that the truth can hurt. I try to say it in words you can understand.

I try not to insult others religion. But you have no trouble insulting my intelligence. So much so that it has become so much harder these days with the hate and cruelty that has resulted from Christians pushing their dogma onto the rest of us.

If you can't take the heat then yes I suggest you definitely get out of the fire. You sit there and quote your scripture and preach to others as though you have some higher moral authority. You do not. You are just a human subject to the human condition. Just like the rest of us. No matter what it is you think you "believe".

And I will respond accordingly with what I believe.

The man in the video was obviously more of a true follower of your christs teachings than you are. Too bad if you take that as an insult.

Dude, you're over in the Texas flood thread cheering the drowning of children FFS.

#43 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

Your god won't be pleased with your lies.

No cheering here.

I said that "only the weak will drown".

Which is just basically rephrasing what your Dear Leader has already said and what he obviously believes.

44 They also will answer, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

45 "He will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Yup. That's exactly what The Lord (who is also apparently god) said.

( .. Not buying verse 46. Which is why I cannot be a Christian. There is no proof that there will be any accountability. But if you believe that then Bill should be terrified. You can "believe" what you want but as far as any human in existence actually knows, dying is an escape from the human condition to nonexistence. Which should be quite relaxing and peaceful if my own NDE meant anything.)

Using the Bible the way this video is saying is making people look to the government for guidance and survival instead of a personal relationship with God and becoming self reliant.

The Christian in the video was saying our government was not founded on Christianity and is not in any way acting as a Christian nation.

It has nothing to do with reducing "self reliance ".

Also the government IS the people. It's you and me. We elect them to represent OUR values. If you claim to be a Christian with Christian values then you should act that way and treat others accordingly.

If your values are to be cruel and uncaring to the situation of others you should just admit it. Like DingDong and lfthandturd does.

Poor Noem. Humans are so annoying!

Can't she just take them to the gravel pits?

"Every time Vlad talks to Don Worm on the phone, he right afterward sets another record bombing run on Ukraine... it happens every time."

The more Trumpy talks to Vlad the Impaler the more Ukrainians die?

Trumpy should probably stop talking. But he won't. He knows he can kill or cause the deaths of) as many Ukrainians as he wants to.

And no one will stop him. And there will be no accountability after.

" Now do the "democrats wanted to raise them (taxes)" part."

Democrats are currently not in charge.

If they were in charge you would be screaming bloody murder over the deficit right now and Congress would be forced to raise taxes. As they probably should anyway to help reduce the deficit.

Instead the current Congress has chosen to increase the deficit even more by trillions of dollars instead. For a segment of American that do not even need help at the expense of those who do.

Thanks for the clarifications Danforth. It is tough is sorting through the lies and the cons.

I am so tired of being lied to by my own government.

Maga maroons love being conned.

Apparently.

The sign over the entrance should read.

"Deportation will set you free."

Yes. I thought about drugs. And if I had doggie drugs I definitely would have used them for the one dog. I definitely will ask my vet about that for next time.

age has diminished his hearing to the point he doesn't react.

Thanks for the kudos. Of course I used to love fireworks too but It was a rough night for the little ones. I am changing my attitude towards fireworks. Especially since 99% of consumer fireworks and 90% of professional display fireworks used in the US are made in China.

I will try cotton balls next time. The cats found their way home.

And yes ... Getting old does have its advantages!

But it was founded on Christian principles.

"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion...".

-Thomas Jefferson

"Just curious. Are you saved?"

Am I a Christian? No.

Am I saved? Yes. But not by what your limited narrow minded Christian thinking would allow for, of course. I am saved (immune) from the stupidity of rigid Christian dogma. Or any religious dogma for that matter.

While I accept the truths of many religions including Christianity I am not beholden to any of them or any man.

You don't have to be a "believer" to understand Christianity. You do have to be a Christian "believer" to be able to deny the truths found in all religions.

Re 136

I did try to put on a loud war movie. (Turning Points: Vietnam) And covering their ears. One dog was ok with it but the other nearly died of terror. Panting and drooling and desperately trying to escape but there was no where to escape to. I am surprised he didn't have a stoke. He may have. He was very quiet this morning. Last night he literally ran into a desk and almost knocked himself out then tried to hide under the bed. The booms from what were obviously illegal fireworks were just too loud. Which lasted for hours. All I could do was try to hold him and comfort him until around midnight when he finally fell asleep.

It was very sad.

Tin soldiers and Trumpy's coming.

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'

Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down

What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Boomers really knew how to protest and dissent. We had the best protest songs ever.

Yes that would be a break, despite your gymnastics.

No it's not. A tax break is not paying the tax. You will still pay all your SS taxes. Until you file.

What you can get ... IF you qualify is a credit at the end of the year. And will not know how much that credit is until you file your taxes.

And again this only a temporary credit. Unlike the actual tax breaks the wealthy will get. Which will be made permanent.

Enjoy your two pencils and 2 dolls. While grumpy and his minions will get two personal jets and a yacht.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Personally I would consider paying $400 for two really nice melons.

If I get to play with them for a whole night.

"Mommas got a squeeze box and daddy never sleeps at night!"

"It's sort of ironic the way Christian preachers shame their congregation, in the same breath as teaching forgiveness."

It's ironic that you feel no shame for denying your Christs teachings.
