When you have to lie to deflect from your own abhorrent standards.

I didn't support Roy Moore. I pointed out his main accuser admitted to forging his signature and made some impossible accusations. Most of what was said was pilling on by media and others.

Lot's of scum politicians on both sides. The only one defending any of them is you,



This is funny stuff. If you think it can't happen to democrats, remember Project Veritas filming Planed Parenthood agreeing to give abortions to underage prostitutes with their pimp present.

A Trump supporter saying I'm defending scum politicians. It's like you're not even trying.

And those videos don't only have those from the right in them. Ted Koppel was on but cut it short, figured it out pretty quickly. Sanders was on but was looking at him like an idiot the whole time, so not much there. The stuff with Moore last night was pretty basic. Had some wand that would go off on Moore. Didn't go off on Sasha or his camera man, Moore walked off. Wasn't the best show.

The main segment, is even hard for me to believe. You have segments with real politicians we all know, Sanders, Palin, Cheney etc. so that's all real stuff. Cheney literally signing a water jug he thought was used for waterboarding or NRA members thinking it's ok to arm toddlers. Unbelievable stuff.

Then you have segments like last week. All those people in the room, hearing about the Mosque. They got paid to attend to hear it, but all their reactions are real. The one last night, I can't believe those people went thru all that stuff. It was really over the top. Will try to find a clip.

Cory Booker argues with Cory Booker.

Corey should go back to saving dogs and cats in NJ. It was pretty amazing how a female journalist was always there to document his feats of heroism.

Hillary / Bill Clinton supporter talking about morals of others.. it's like you're not even trying.

You're just making Trump look worse. Saying x is bad but Trump is like xxxxxxx. You're doing your old thing again. If someone commits murder and I post that, if you reply well so and so murdered somebody too, I need to keep reminding you, murder is bad. It's not a defense pointing out somebody did the same thing. And then again, Hillary was never President, Bill is a past President, Trump is the current one. And he is above and beyond anything they've done.

I was quoting you.

 

[JB Lions]

I was quoting you.

And I was pointing out to you how ridiculous your post was. You keep trying to defend something, that's not defensible.

 

[mr-x]

And I was pointing out to you how ridiculous your post was.

And I did the same to you.

 

[JB Lions]

And I did the same to you.

I don't talk about Hillary/Bill, you bring it up to dry to defend Trump, it's silly. You're not helping him out any. I don't think your heart is in it, you never really like him anyway, he was your 3rd choice. I can go to Trump's FB page and see better effort.

DCC Chairman doges questions on ICE.

He didn't talk about Ice did he? No, he didn't answer that question.

 

[JB Lions]

For the record, I'm not a fan of Booker myself. I'm not for abolishing ICE.

The Democrats are diverse enough that they can run a Socialist and win, see NY, or run a moderate and win, see was it Pennsylvania?

Nationally, I think moderate. The guy I mentioned earlier, Mitchell Landrieu, who is running, was on yesterday, saying the same thing. He's against abolishing ICE as well. They have time to clean this up, this won't fly on a National level. The Socialist stuff I think really freaks out middle America.

You just called Christians "Talibangelicals" in a respones to a post about VP Mike Pence.

Interesting to note that Liberals in this thread and everywhere, will put down, insult and demonize Christians every chance they get, but in all the years I've been on this thread NOT ONCE did they ever criticize the Religion of Peace...

GILSAN!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so happy to find out you've been reading my posts all this time - https://www.namepros.com/threads/transparency-when-it-comes-to-ignoring-people.1093254/

You lied about it a lot, but it was expected, so not a big deal. Doesn't it feel better? You don't have to fake it anymore, like a weight lifted off your shoulders? I will admit, I was pretty impressed, you held out pretty good most of the time, you did screw up twice, but other than that, held it together. It makes sense, you read my posts, then get triggered and post a bunch of memes. I know it's bad for Trump right now and will get worse. But you're not alone.

New York Times Upset over Threats Against Media but Ignores 500-Plus Attacks on Trump Supporters
New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger says he is worried about threats against journalists, even as his publication has all but ignored more than 500 attacks against President Trump and his supporters.

If I said something untrue, point it out, instead of babbling accusations.

No one is stopping your from doing or saying anything. You, enlytened and JB lions are the only people accusing others in this forum for expressing ideas you don't like.

No counter argument. Just insults and untrue accusations.

I didn't reference you in my post. Ask yourself why you would take it so personally.

..The Socialist stuff I think really freaks out middle America.

For good reason, socialism tends toward totalitarianism. The few countries it works in have abundant natural resources, huge taxes but still have capitalist economies. Others like the UK, rarely innovate.

Bernie bros hate capitalism.

Booker also saved a woman from a house fire, the smoke inhalation and 2nd degree burns he got doing that were real. He's a public figure - of course the press follows him around. I don't dislike him, but I don't think he's viable as a presidential candidate.

Corey should go back to saving dogs and cats in NJ. It was pretty amazing how a female journalist was always there to document his feats of heroism

Ooh yeah - let's open this hornet's nest:
http://thehill.com/regulation/administration/399482-sessions-announces-religious-liberty-task-force

- Does this apply equally to all religions?
- Where does one draw the line between self-indulgent nonsense and discrimination? For example: If some white supremacist group started a church and members subsequently refused to serve black people in their businesses, is that illegal discrimination or religious freedom?

It's very easy to start a church - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Church_of_Cannabis

My take on this - There are secular laws and religious beliefs. Fine - your religious beliefs don't have to stop "at the end of your driveway", but they shouldn't extend into other peoples' driveways and more importantly they shouldn't override secular law. This means if you have a public business you shouldn't be able to use your religion as an excuse to discriminate against customers. You shouldn't be able to use it to circumvent legal rights for your employees. And if you have a job, do your job. If you can't do your job because you find it so morally repugnant, find a job that you can do - you and everyone else will be much happier.

Yeah.. in the middle of the winter at 6:am to watch him save a dog.

You should have read or at least listened to his speech.

“We’ve seen nuns ordered to buy contraceptives. We’ve seen U.S. senators ask judicial and executive branch nominees about dogma—even though the Constitution explicitly forbids a religious test for public office."

"Sessions said the guidance he issued in October lays out 20 fundamental principles for the executive branch to follow, including the principles that free exercise means a right to act — or to abstain from action — and that government shouldn’t impugn people’s motives or beliefs."

After eight years of attacks by atheist and LGBTQ mafia, an affirmation of the #1A is needed.

- Does this apply equally to all religions?
- Where does one draw the line between self-indulgent nonsense and discrimination? For example: If some white supremacist group started a church and members subsequently refused to serve black people in their businesses, is that illegal discrimination or religious freedom?

This is a strawman question and has been dealt with by Congress and the Supreme court.

Here's one for you; when bigoted liberals call your religion "self-indulgent nonsense" for refusing to design a t-shirt that violates your beliefs, do we still have to take them seriously?
