The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread

[notime]

that`s all well and good but we are talking about an immoral man
accused of sexual harrassment 15-20 times
porn stars paid off 130k
playmate
all while married
a 13 yr old accused him of violent rape:disappeared a week before the election: paid off?
first 2 marriages ended in adultary
5 draft deferments
5 bankruptcies


first wife in sworn testimony claimed he raped and beat her over a bad scalp reduction surgery

situatiional evangelicals harbor him
this `man` does not deserve the benefit of the doubt
hyperbolic I know, if I believed in this sort of thing this man may actually BE the anti-christ
when he ackowledges his ways in public I`ll get on board
he does no wrong according to him

Amazing (sickening) that with all this being so obvious, that people who purport to stand for a set of morals, will still follow this guy. Just to be part of a `group`. Sadly, if Trump had remained a Democrat, these same people would be skewering him (Like they should be regardless of which party he stinks up.).

It`s so important to get your news from a variety of sources - all along the spectrum.

It`s not the people but rather the political party these people are connected to or represent. The People suffer because of the war between the parties. It will implode at some point but until then remember that none of them really care about you.

I stand for a set of morals, and take offense at what you said..

You don`t know - none of us really know if all this - ^^^^ is true - none of us can look at this man`s heart and know what it is like..

None of us can really cast the first stone at him, because we have all sinned...

How does one know if he - if anyone of us - is repenting, trying to repent, trying to change, apologizing, making restitution when possible, trying to get better., etc.. ??

The Holy Scriptures teach us to hate the sin but love the sinner.. Why do you think they say that ??

Because Deity is not giving up on any of us, is hoping that one day, we will change and come back; come back home... Luke 15:11-32.. "for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found."

Yeah, but when people follow these parties blindly (or something near that), they`re contributing.

The People suffer because of the war between the parties.

Yes and maybe suffer more from a lack of choice. Two parties that really don`t represent many of the people in this country. Some may disagree, but I think the lack of a choice is one of the big reasons so many people don`t vote.

It will implode at some point but until then remember that none of them really care about you.

You`re right, too many of them don`t care. The parties represent the people who have the power and sadly, that`s usually a case of follow the money.

I need to step back from this. There is so much I could say, but i feel it would be taken wrong. I will say this," I believe that whenever a person is invoking religious beliefs it`s very important that their primary focus is to seek the truth. If they`re not doing that , they don`t get it."

Let’s use some liberal logic.

My AR-15 identifies as a nerf gun.

Anyone who disagrees is a racist.

President Trump`s fortune is down $400 million on Forbes World’s Billionaires list tumbling 200 spots. His voters appreciate the economic sacrifice which flies in the face that Trump is using the White House to become richer.

[Ronkh]

The same people responsible for our $800 billion dollar trade deficit are now telling Trump he is fixing it the wrong way?

[DBAILEY]

Fell 200 spots because he lies about his net worth. He must barely be getting by making such a sacrifice.

[DBAILEY]

True no one knows what is in someone`s heart, but damn, how many things does he have to say and do to the contrary before you stop giving him a undeserved break

That was on their own #`s not his.

Wow

[artm3]

here`s something I can`t wrap my head around
how can a country like Canada (~17% of our seel imports) sell cheaper than a US corp.?

they have higher taxes, both individual and corp, so higher costs
wage structurei/labor costs are similar
higher transportation costs
must already pay a duty and tariff to import to the US

how can they be 25% cheaper?

DBailey --
Thanks for your thoughts.. I know, it`s not easy..

Imagine how our Father and His Son, must feel when they look out at all of us, imperfect people, doing good things, doing not so good things, trying to get better, failing at getting better, and on and on...

And They are Never giving up on any, any, of us..
I am so grateful that they have not given up on me..

We are all and will be a work in progress..

The more we can be patient with each other and help each other, the better and easier it will be for all..

Wow

their numbers are usually optimistic and often do not account for debt, especially if convoluted transactions
I`d be surprised if trump is actually worth 3 bil after obligations/liabilities

wilber ross claimed >2 bil
he`s off the list now, his sworn government disclosure: 0.7 bil


not that it matters
but why lie when the truth will serve you just as well?
