It’s not over issues. Many Republican ideas remain popular with the public. It’s over Trump and the conspiracy stuff. The majority of Republican voters seem to really be into that, and the majority of Americans just aren’t.
The Republican party isn't going to split up. People just need to process the loss and blow off some steam. By 2022 we'll all be focused on the usual stuff (taxes/guns/abortion/economy) and it'll be one big tent again.
You don’t think He’d be disappointed by your pretty obvious membership in the Devil’s Army?
*laughs*
Attempted derailment aside, Trump has done absolutely nothing to make anyone think he is in any way Godlike, to the point that I don’t think he has ever opened a Bible of his own volition. Attempting to equate such a person with the Almighty is such an alien concept that I am forced to believe that any such attempt is a poor attempt at satire.
I posted that letter in another thread. I'm beginning to see how crazy this administration has made people, both for and against (bof sidez). I always noticed the against, never really noticed how crazy it had made adamantly pro-Trump folks until I couldn't sleep the night of 1/5, really. Then I began to realize how badly this has gone for overall civility and domestic tranquility. I knew they were gonna do something, I just didn't know what. When I got the news that the QAnoners and other right-wing groups had stormed the Capitol, I wasn't surprised. Merely sickened.
It is satire. tonydead is having his way with you guys, and you're getting wrapped up in what seems to me to be obvious irony. tonydead, IIRC (and correct me if I'm wrong, tony) has serious problems with the Catholic Church given the pedophilia scandal that ravaged the Church.
Shhh...not in front of God.
My money, and this in no way supports or endorses him, is on Trump for the win and in less than a round. Unless, as pointed out before, there's a ramp there and he falls on his ###.
The time is so little, the time belongs to us. Why is everybody in such a ####### rush?
A lot of people dont equate godlike to the bible.
True, but I'm just channeling Occam here. His only dark art is in the judiciary. However he pulled off that deal with the devil, I'll never know. But the devil always gets your soul, friend.
I limited it to that because that's all I know of your posts about the Church. Not going to put words in your mouth about an issue that sensitive.
Don’t know if you heard Biden tonight but he appears to firmly be in the center. He came out (again) against defunding police, and also against relieving student debt. Much of the progressive agenda is not his.
Never seen Mitch and the dude from Return of the Jedi who Darth Vader tosses to save Luke in the same room is all I’m saying.
I feel like now's the time to say "same here." I was raised Catholic but have never really gotten too deeply into the Christian faith because I'm generally not a Christian, just a Christian sympathizer.
I’ve never been there, but it sounds interesting at least from an artistic perspective. I grew up Baptist, but I joke that I’m in recovery from that. My church is technically affiliated with the Southern Baptists, but it’s very tenuous. We pretty much stick to the Gospel, reaching the community, and helping each other out when we can.
Biden is president and the senate is 50/50 with a West Va dem. I expect us to be governed like the bolded the next 2 years. I also expect the left and the right to try and break them. We'll see if either is successful.
As long as Biden is still there, Trump will get beaten handily. Especially with Biden being the incumbent. He just takes too much of the centrist vote for Trump to have a chance. Trump knew this when he tried to muddy him up with the Ukraine/Hunter Biden thing.The General said:
“will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."Biff84 said:
Our priest in a homily just days before the November election said without naming any individual or party,” that a candidate doesn’t have to have good character for you to vote for them and certainly one of the candidates doesn’t“. I found this absurd. All just to justify voting for the pro-life candidate. But as the church is apologizing and paying millions for its sexual abuse scandals I have expectations that a priest not have character issues. Father Trump....I definitely think not.tonydead said:You have to be kidding. You don’t just get the nickname Father Trump for nothing.
Problem for the GOP is it won’t be a “big tent“ but rather a “small tent”Roy L Fewks said:
When the outgoing president is blamed publicly for inciting a riot at the Capitol by the Senate leader from his own party, then the ex-president in turn calls the Senate leader a weak, loser who cowers to China the media usually takes notice.
Yeah, the reality is, after a few months of Biden's idiotic energy policies and potentional tax increases, these forces will be united. Not that Trump won't throw an occassional bomb, but nothing unites like a common enemy.
We shall see. Right now it appears Mitch and any moderate Republican is Trump's enemy.
I'm pretty sure that is EXACTLY what he is saying.tonydead said:
He would need to win 3 elections to get to Thurmond’s age when he was still in Senate?
Yeah. This one really has gone down a bad rabbit hole.The Dude said:
Mitch has been winning there for like 30 years. Trump couldn't even string a back to back together.
So he had Trump's blessings...before Trump was ever actually doing anything for him?
No idea what you’re referring to.When I started this thread I didn’t post some opinion piece predicting civil war inside the GOP; I posted news: a statement by Trump filled with insults about McConnell, which was in reaction to a speech by McConnell that essentially called Trump a criminal. You do what you want with that news; I thought it was worth discussing.
It’s the Republican Party that apparently can’t move on from Trump. Those of us who are not Republicans are simply spectators at this point.Don’t need to, the amount of real estate Trump still has in your heads says it all. What’s staring everyone in the face is how you all can’t move on, so can you agree and finally do it?
