Re: The missionary mind

You know, it's really quite something when someone can't help but respond to a discussion with "Trump is bad", a long list of bad things Trump did, and then just making up that so-and-so is a white supremacist as a way to shut down any further discussion. It's tiresome. Who said Trump was...

Re: Not for Trump / Not for conviction

i believe you’ve been consistently speaking to this all along, warning about it. Sometimes it feels like it's falling on deaf ears. Instead it seems the country is heading towards the idea a civil war against the other half of the country they don't like would be the best outcome. I really wish eve...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

Yeah, right. I doubt in that setting the gal has no idea. I,have lived in arranged marriage cultures. It was one where unmarried people did not even talk. Gals seem to pick up things like body language, even slightly more than casual looks, what their siblings notice. While it may be a blind propos...

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 vaccination?

Although they really did “make stuff up” it was mostly based on protocols that were in place for other respiratory diseases. So that is his strong point to defend. lockdowns, use of cloth masks and overselling the vaccines are likely his most weak point. The evidence for those was far more weak. Th...

Re: Trump Convicted

He falsely claimed that his hush money payments to a porn star were for "legal services" by an attorney on retainer to the Trump Organization. Claimed to whom? I keep business records, but the only "claim" they make is to myself. The business records you showed below are not eve...

Re: Trump Convicted

Ok, but that’s a political issue that doesn’t really have anything to do with whether he’s guilty or not. We also knew that the MAGA crowd and other Trump supporters were going to respond angrily to a guilty verdict. OK, let's discuss what he's "guilty" of. Could you describe to us exactl...

Re: Not for Trump / Not for conviction

Very interesting and good finds, t1. I would be among those who will be "not for Trump" since I am not going to be voting for him nor did I vote for him in the last two elections, but I am also not for this conviction. Many other nonpartisan observers feel the same way. Not everyone agree...
