Please, post a source for this. I want to know where this is documented. There was a time when I would demonize anything I disagreed with. David Guzik wrote in a Study Guide To Hebrews,"An ungodly farmer died, and they discovered in his will that he had left his farm to the Devil. In the court, they didn't quite know what to do with it-how do you give a farm to the Devil? Finally, the judge decided: "The best way to carry out the wishes of the deceased is to allow the farm to grow weeds, the soil to erode, and the house and barn to rot. In our opinion, the best way to leave something to the Devil is to do nothing." We can leave our lives to the Devil the same way- doing nothing, drifting with whatever currents will drive us." So, if Trump truly worshiped Lucifer, why wouldn't he just let America go to weeds?
For Americans treating people as subhuman runs in your veins So don't come the high and mighty to me.
Why would I treat the image of God as sub-human? Why not come high and mighty? Am I the only one of us two that recognize we were made in God's image? Sure I don'try to laud it over others, as I am no more his image than they. Shouldn't we be our brothers keeper?
Alfau is a member of the Badweb community. He is one of us and we need to embrace him. I just wish he would reread what he writes several times before posting.
I have members of my family I do not embrace. If their attitude and behavior are corrosive and toxic, I remove them from my life. Call me cold blooded if you want.
I will not embrace Alfau. And I suspect he has no desire to embrace me. Telling me I need to embrace him, is like telling me I need to embrace cancer. I think not.
On topic it's stupid to celebrate before victory. The Trumpcare bill is badly flawed ( according to the folk who voted for it ) & the Senate is expected to change it.
Or they pray the Senate will change it.
I am amused at the "nobody read the bill" & total zero Dem vote. Deja........
The D's are so much better at monolithic Soviet bloc voting than the R's.
An interesting thought about the meeting between President Trump and Malcolm Turnbull. Not only did the president leave the prime minister cooling his heels for three hours while the president celebrated his victory in congress but he also shortened the meeting to twenty minutes from the original allocated time. .. America first! Always good to remind client states of their inferior status!
Our elected rep (and I'm being kind here) Jim Sensenbrenner, is nothing more than a shill for GOPe.
At a recent town hall meeting in Waukesha WI, he said "we'll have to wade through the current ACA to see what we want to change." You kidding me. GOPe have had over six years to "wade through" this unconstitutional law. Phoney baloney elected rep! Been in DC since Jimmy Carter was President!
Pull Newt back from retirement and make him Speaker again.
I met Newt when he toured my VR and Immersive labs back at SGI in the '90's. He especially liked the button I was wearing for him that day, which read:
"Oh my god, you're stark raving republican!"
We had a good laugh and a better conversation.
I also agree with term limits. It should be a service to your country, not a career.
Air: I used to sell SGI. Still have one of your umbrellas. Was it Cray that bought SGI or the other way around...old memories that are harder and harder to retrieve
Got out of IT sales back in 2001. When HP bought Compaq back in 1998 (IIRC), I knew that was the end of another great company (Compaq).
Haven't seen since those times, the leaps and bounds in IT, like you and I saw back in the day...
ah the memories
EDIT: Airbozo said..."I also agree with term limits. It should be a service to your country, not a career." Damn straight, if it's good enough for the military...
I also agree on term limits. However, the day they are enacted, Income Tax will also be abolished and a guy wearing red tights with a tail and a pitchfork will walk up to me and tell me. "It froze over."
California has term limits and it's as F'd as ever. Guys just hop from the assembly to the senate to attorney general, etc, as they are termed out of each office. You also end up with a lot of novice lawmakers with an entreched professional staff that never changes and who probably run the show. Perhaps a better idea would be to put limits on how long someone could be speaker of the house, chairman of committees, senate majority leader, stuff like that. I think that way people would be less reluctant to vote someone out of office and congressmen less likely to make it a lifetime career. Also wouldn't require amending the constitution.
Don't limit the office...limit the term of SERVICE.
You want to be a government official and make change? You've got four years. Use them wisely, make the impact you want to make, and do it efficiently because four years is ALL YOU GET. Then, back to the private sector. No pension. No free ride for life.
Threat of "back to private sector" ALONE would be enough to keep things honest...and actually focused on the lives of "normal Americans". Because they'd know that in a very short time...THEY will be "normal Americans" again.
They're worried about the "immigrant children who come to the US for a better life"...and "hope the immigrant community isn't impacted by all this"...but there's NO mention of the distinction of LEGAL versus ILLEGAL (sorry..."undocumented", which is total BS in itself) immigration.
You want to come to the US for a better life?
DO IT RIGHT. Do the work, take the tests, do the paperwork, and become a citizen.
It's possible, I don't know how many were eager to be umbrella stands for Barry the Weasel, but the selection process for Marine Guard at the White house is severe. You have to be able to be stoic in the face of heavy harassment. Like the Guards at Buckingham Palace. And it's only a literal handful that make the grade.
I'd rate this meme as propaganda with little truth.
Didn't mean I didn't enjoy it.
Oh, BTW, the Popeyes Cocaine rumor is total BS. No one can afford to dope their fast food that way, and it would not have an addictive effect after going through the stomach acid.
In other news, Obama is well loved by members of the military.
It would seem that our current government is under attack from within from all possible angles. The longer this goes, the more I think coup is the correct word to describe it.
