I originally posted this thread regarding the gross lack of security that one of his staff members did when he identified the man with the "football" duty. That is a totally unacceptable thing for any of his staff to do and should have gotten him fired immediately. It appears that Trump won't do that.

Village Idiot,
So why did the middle not choose to vote for a third party? Trump made it clear early on what type of person he was. If both choices were unacceptable they should have not voted for either of them. I myself voted third party.
Simon,
Why should they? They didn't want Clinton and what she was promising so they voted for the next best thing.
Trump was not the next best thing. For all their defects the Libertarian and Green Party candidates were better than either Trump or Hillary.

Neverendingjourney, only some of Trump voters were White Nationalists and assorted racists. I think the issue is more complex.
It was Trump's bombastic personality that attracted more authoritarians than would otherwise vote, therefore inflating their numbers in the election.

All that talk about Hillary Clinton's unsecured e-mails? Read the following:
"DeAgazio posted additional photos from the weekend, including one of his dining companions kissing Trump on the cheek, a selfie with White House strategist Steve Bannon and another selfie identifying a man named Rick who he says is responsible for carrying the nuclear “football,” which allows the president to authorize a nuclear attack while away from the White House.
"“This is Rick,” wrote DeAgazio. “He carries the ‘football’ The nuclear football (also known as the atomic football, the President’s emergency satchel, the Presidential Emergency Satchel, the button, the black box, or just the football) is a briefcase, the contents of which are to be used by the President of the United States to authorize a nuclear attack while away from fixed command centers, such as the White House Situation Room. It functions as a mobile hub in the strategic defense system of the United States. It is held by an aide-de-camp. and Rick is the Man.”"
You should have known that this man is a moron.!

Old Watchtower Literature
by biblexaminer insomewhere, somewhen, a dubb died.... waiting for the end no doubt.
when they died, they left their precious watchtower literature to somebody else, another dubb.. and that dubb also waiting for the end, living some austere life as they hovered over their precious and aging watchtower library, eventually died.. and again.
and again.. eventually, the last dubb to die left their bound 'salvation' to the congregation, who put it on a shelf, never to be read again.. and that's where i came in.. watchtower bound volume originals from the 1800's and others.. very old.. the watchtower .

I'll have to find a place to put this collection of paleotheology (not a word BTW)
Well then it should be a word and a most excellent one! I never would have thought of it before! If you ever want to give them up let me know.

Simon,
It still looks a lot healthier than the Clinton Archipelago. One looks like a country, the other looks like slim pickings.
You're not taking into account the population density of those 'archipelagos'. The large pro-Trumpian locations are mostly the least dense in population density. One outweighs the other by three million votes.

Moral High Ground
by Spoletta init seems that the other threads about trump's policies are veering off into endless ideological theories about how much better we are than islam.
does anyone think there is a chance that islam can be changed in the same manner that christianity has over the centuries?
with the inflow of ideas from western countries into the middle east, will people gradually want to move away from sharia law to something less patriarchal and cruel?

In the year 1600 Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake for having different beliefs than the Catholic Church. The Jesuits had a most elaborate form of torture techniques that would make waterboarding seem uninspired from a psychopath's point of view. That is the kind of thing that ISIS has been doing.
Now we have a liberal pope. So why exactly is it that Islam won't be able to change? Yes, a liberal Islam would contradict what their holy scriptures have to say but the same thing applies to Liberal Christians who'd rather ignore the Old Testament.

I would like to rant about how I get really upset when I get some weak invitation back to the cult.
by schnell inmy mother wanted me to know that the co gave a talk that kinda-sorta reprimanded an elder in her hall.
he is not the reason i left at all, and this does not address anything to do with me or our family.. my mother-in-law sent me texts which i ignored and now she has sent a picture to my wife on facebook just for me, and it's a prodigal son meme that says, "you see the signs, come back it's not too late".. yeah, it's not too late to accept a global flood in 2370 bce, or that man was created in 4026 bce from a golem spell, or that an us-and-them cult mentality is at all healthy or loving, or that religion is going to be banned by the un, or that i should expect anyone else at the door to accept these stupid ideas in the information age.. what am i supposed to say?
i usually just ignore them, but before i do that, i see that shit and i storm into this weird internalized rage where i start writing a response and deleting it.

Schnell,
I usually just ignore them, but before I do that, I see that shit and I storm into this weird internalized rage where I start writing a response and deleting it. Anything I say is just going to fly over my mother's or MIL's head and then she'll get mad, so why bother?
I too go through writing fits when something irks me big time. Once, I wrote a flyer against the JWs and distributed to my entire apartment complex. There's over a hundred units and 90% of them are either JWs, inactives and disfellowshipped ones.
Let me ask you, are your letters long?
