When problems go on long enough, fixing it is no easy task.

#92 | Posted by BillJohnson

You don't care about how long we allow climate change to go on for. Or how big we let the deficit get so that we can hand giant tax cuts to billionaires.

Your party is the one that keeps problems from being addressed.

Unless that "problem" is too many people being able to easily vote.

Trump is the last thing on their minds.

You got something you want to say to me?

#22 | Posted by BillJohnson

Jesus is the last thing on their minds. They ignore his teachings and parrot trump's satanic lies.

Hey everybody Bill's here! Say hi before he declares he's too evolved to respond to your arguments and runs away.

How DARE taxpayers pray during a gathering!

How dare "christians" throw their support behind a man who is the exact opposite of everything their religion teaches!

We're not surprised you didn't get it.

More like he couldnt read it.

Sometimes if I don't answer or continue a thread I'm accused of bailing out.

If I opt out, sometimes I say just that.

#134 | Posted by BillJohnson

Right. You just always happen to do it when you've run out of falacies and have been humiliated with facts.

great essay.

way too many words to reach the people who need to hear it.

It would be a lot quicker to say "I was brainwashed like the rest of my party"

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.

The king of finding excuses to squirm out of a debate that makes you look foolish.

...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.

#112 | Posted by oneironaut

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?

What is a woman?

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.

#4 | Posted by john_savage2

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.
