Re: "God Bless the USA" Bibles - from our Huckster in Chief

Bibles similar to this have been for sale for years. The Patriot's Bible, for example - I noticed that our local Ollie's is flooded with highly discounted copies. True - the content doesn’t surprise me - “patriot Bibles” been around for years. What surprises me is how blatant and mainstream this ty...

"God Bless the USA" Bibles - from our Huckster in Chief

Seems like the former President is now selling patriotic Bibles for just $60 - complete with USA founding documents for cross-reference.

Seems to confirm a lot about the worldview of DJ Trump and his Christian devotees.

Re: State of the Union Addresses

I agree with others - this was more about campaigning than legislating. You don't come out that combative if you are working on legislative compromises. I think Biden succeeded in being more vigorous and clear-speaking than at other times of late - I'm sure that was deliberate. I wonder if he chugge...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

Trump is not the leader of the free world. Neither is he viewed by world leaders as weak. I haven't seen stats on how world leaders view Biden's weakness Grace, especially vs Trump's - perhaps you could share them. I did see a recent Pew Report that says that 53% of the international community have...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

Both Biden and Trump will be lame ducks if they win this November. Neither one will be running again in 2028 because whoever wins will be in their 2nd term. I'm sure this is true for Biden - but, based on what I've seen, I'm not convinced that Trump will ever willingly leave office. There have been...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

Some are able to remain spry and sharp to their end. Some i’ve had the honor of knowing. Some start losing their faculties young. i had the pain of experiencing. Science is working on it. No quick+final answers to it, not yet. No matter how wanted. I think this is a good point. On the face of it, b...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

It should be noted. Chaos might be a concern. But the main rationale for the ruling is not the consequences but derived powers. Federal offices are not subject to the whim of state officials. Only Congress can determine qualifications. In some ways, the most important thing is that the supreme Cour...

Re: Gaza's Irrational Hatred

Back to my OP - the irrationality here (beyond garden-variety hatred - if there is such a thing) has to do with what appears to be a supercharged enmity between Palestinians and Israelis right now - a hatred that is doubtless the result of 75+ years of offense heaped upon offense between these two g...
