There's no issue with allowing children to fly 360 passengers either, does that mean we should allow it? Name one pilot under 10yo that has crashed a plane... I dare ...

Sometimes stupid is stupid and I don't need to be told otherwise.

Trump's coup attempt was a far bigger threat to democracy than mail in ballots.
I'm sure that really upset you huh?

I'm reading these comments and I will not step into the middle of this.

I had to leave to pick up dinner and looked at the thread.

No thank you.

...strikes again.

But Christians have this idea of "original sin", and that Adam's transgression is imputed on all humans. So even a small child born into the world, hasn't harmed another human in any form needs to be forgiven. Hence one receives the sacrament of baptism, to cleanse the soul and restore grace.

If you came down to earth with no knowledge of christianity, and read that paragraph, you would laugh at it.

Speak,

Good question but I don't have an answer I'm ready to post and I have things to do.

Maybe another time.

Christianity has evolved enormously over time.

Interesting. How does jesus send his updated instructions?

Those kinds of rules simply are not enforced in most modern churches today except perhaps in the most fundamentalist denominations.

People quote the verses about women being silent in church, yet many churches function week after week with women teaching children, leading studies, organizing ministries, and often being the backbone of the church itself.

When exactly was the meeting where yall decided which parts of the bible were important and which parts to ignore?

Resume telling yourself what MAGA men think.

#90 | Posted by BillJohnson

Not necessary. They tell us themselves. And never shut up.

For example:
"the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.

or

"The fascinating thing about women is that most don't really have any thoughts of their own.

Hint - it's the same one that's worse for the environment.

The US debt will get them before the "environment" issue.

And which party is worse for US debt?

A question fascists use to distract morons while they dismantle the country.

Maga incels gave up on winning the favor of women.
Their new tactic is supporting a religious theocracy that will force women to submit to them.

I dare you say that to a black, they would attack you.

On this site it hasn't been blacks who've threatened me with what they would do to me if I said something to their face.

Cosplaying at tough men and trying to upset better people is really all maga has left.

It's all the Dems on Committees that matter.
#279 | Posted by Danforth

And who decides which dems get on which committees?

I've never been so embarrassed for others for their childish lack of pragmatism.

It is absolutely mindboggling how little accounting for real world conditions there are and how little appreciation of nuance or degrees of change there is.

It's all or nothing. Black or white.

Race. To. The. Bottom.

#252 | Posted by jpw

It was the pragmatism of obama and biden that lead to trump.
Both times.

So it's pragmatism that is causing the race to the bottom.

As JPW said, Obama worked with the cards he was dealt. So did the other leading democrats.....on all of those issues.

#246 | Posted by eberly

Weak dems work with the cards they are dealt.

Trump showed your cards don't matter. You use the bully pulpit and strongarm your party into doing what you want.

Major caveat to this is that the people who voted for Trump because of his populist statements (his embracing of populism was entirely cynical) were never going to vote for Obama anyway. Trump's cynical embracing of populism was well timed because the decades of GOP economic policy had finally caught up to the Repub middle class voters who supported it so long as those people bore the brunt of it.

#243 | Posted by jpw

Wrong. Tons of people who voted for obama later voted for trump because they felt so betrayed by obama.

Trump's embrace of populism worked because dems openly rejected it.

*and blew our chances at making dems the party of peace by not ending the wars after bin laden was killed.

The best you can hope for is one who can effectively work within it to still get things accomplished. Obama was that POTUS.

#228 | Posted by jpw

Obama was the one who blew our chance to fix the healthcare system. And blew our chances for justice against the bankers who had just crashed the economy.

Instead of embracing occupy wall street obama helped crush it. He abandoned populism so trump embraced it and won.

AOC hasn't accomplished anything of note since coming into congress.

#179 | Posted by BellRinger

She voted to release the epstein files. How come much of your party voted against that?

As i said above, how is a progressive supposed to accomplish anything when the DNC and RNC both oppose them?

Ahhhh yes. The Man is holding her down...

#169 | Posted by jpw

Math is holding her down. She needs a movement like a liberal version of the tea party to give her any power.

Hopefully in the next cycle, it won't be so lopsided. The dems will run someone who the largest donors get behind.....hopefully.

#68 | Posted by eberly

Oh the donors who were happy to support a man who had just attempted the nation's first coup? ---- them.
You think the voters want those donors sending bribe money to their candidate?

It's not about big donors if you want to get people motivated.

Although it's funny that we're still arguing about elections as if they will be legitimate anymore.

An undeniable truth:

A trump cult member calling AOC a "lunatic" is hilarious.

How many nuclear armed nations does she threaten with mass destruction on twitter?

Other than a lot of verbiage, can you cite what she has actually accomplished during her tenure in the House?

OS: You are more than welcome to look up the definition of the word tenure ; )

#159 | Posted by MSgt

As i said above, how is a progressive supposed to accomplish anything when the DNC and RNC both oppose them?
She has the right agenda but lacks the allies to get it done.
The voters need to send her some allies.

She introduced the Green New Deal - a corporate donation of Trillions of dollars to corporations.

#154 | Posted by oneironaut

So you want THE GOVERNMENT to build the energy products of the future, instead of corporations?

What are you some kind of commie?
