Do You Think People Should Be Scorned For Wearing A Red MAGA Hat?

do you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?

if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

Red is a fabulous color and perhaps many of you don't look good in it -- be my guess and not your vitriol/hatred for President Trump because Ole Hil lost even to Democratic states where it's been impossible to lose - like for decades! We've all lived through our women/acquaintances/friends wearing the frumpy/dumpy Hilary tee shirts and not for one term but for at least a decade now or since the first time she was a candidate -- at least a couple of times. Oh my, are they dumpy tee shirts. I was even 'gifted' with a couple - they made great oil painting rags cut up in pieces. Somehow we survived the Obama depression years -- volunteers have never witnessed so many young children in the school district hungry and dependent on charitable handouts to survive. Criminal acts encouraged by the left and the elite-supported Antifa is more evidence of why Trump was elected.

Keep America Great - so time to buy the new Trump RED caps - KAG! They're so darn cute -- can't wait!

Who would ever base their color palette on something off of Twitter/Amazon/Google - all leftists --- no one is that insecure!

Personal story of bethel, sexual abuse and child baptism

by GetMeOutofHere in

born into a strong jw family in the early 80s.

my father died when i was 4 and that left a huge emotional scar on my tender mind.

with my mother, i went to live with family members and was sexually abused between 4 and 10. he was an ms but when elders later found out, all that happened was he got his privileges removed.

GMOOH -- Welcome and thanks for sharing. I'm so sorry for all the horror the religion has caused you and the loss of your father -- very difficult. Stay tuned - there's many with experience here re/staying and enduring/leaving, etc. You're in a great place.

Trump Derangement Syndrome Is Alive and Well

friends

i was on facebook and a person i have known for a long time posted how trump is mentally ill and is truly a psychopath.

a couple of her friends chimed in when i suggested that perhaps the fb friend was really the psychopath.

a couple of her friends began to defend her but i was surprised by how many people defended the president!

How has President Trump accomplished so much compared to previous presidents and still remain in communication with his base with the lefts' federal corruption against him and the people of the US who voted for him --- WOW! Fact - you know those things you don't care about.

I couldn't care less what Maher spouts on and he couldn't care less about the working class having decent paying jobs (or any work) in this country. More people who tried to consider both sides are finished with that stooge.

Stillin - maybe because NPR is a tad left thus the right-wing distrust? It's a tough time right now with the federal corruption against not only the president but the people of the United States and their choice. Everyone better open their eyes -- Trump may have been favored by some on FOX but the other networks are controlled by the Dems/Clinton and now the extreme left. It's hard to believe the people of one nation are so divided for two different types of government - such a dichotomy -- there needs to be a level of respect for debate and facts.

Full scale socialism is scary but there needs to be better healthcare (and costs), etc., etc. Our gov't spends so much helping other countries (fine to help others) but so many here need care, housing, medical -- it's not perfect by any means.

WTC has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.

wtc has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.

for example, when puerto rico was devastated by a hurricane, wtc directed a large number of congregations to donate $1500 each in supplies that would be used for relief purposes.

it is not known how many congregations took part in this effort but the feedback suggests it was in the hundreds.

LongHairGal - I hear ya loud and clear. A couple of very, good, people, JWs used to laugh at me when I assumed the people were honest and trying desperately to be in god's favor/bla/bla -- I saw through the con artists' crazy but didn't want to see it - initially! It was always funny when these good-people JWs were dealing with the same thing and the line was always, 'JWs aren't perfect but at least they're trying, right'! Oh my - it's endless.

I could have written a book after 6 mos! It's very hard on one's physical/mental health trying to rationalize the evil and the stage productions at the hall. It's show business for many of them - they're not good actors! A family member of mine recalls my saying moons before I was ever serious about it the meetings were nothing but sales meetings - it's true.

I'm reading link on VOXX - anything from CNN/Amazon will have to be confirmed by reputable people as well as any other.

I agree -- I don't think he's happy with Fox -- I appreciate the info.

Fox has lots of Democrats on and that makes it great -- the Independents get an overview and the viewers question and wait for the facts to be unearthed. I have Democratic acquaintances/friends (and liberals) who love the debates on FOX between the parties and hear info they'd never know about on other stations.

Thank you, stillin. Believe it or not they will get called on it and retract and probably already have. Unless I misinterpreted -- I heard the reputable Joe Bastardi not defending Trump's statement - I missed the actual show but heard on taping which I was unable to finish. Is this what you're referring to?

I'll google - appreciate!

I hope Fox reports the facts. What are you referring to - do tell so we can follow to verify. Is this still about the Alabama. The truth will be revealed. Too bad the left cares less about the evil and unlawful acts their own politicians do - it's amazing. I'm sure half their viewers don't even hear about it.

For sure CNN and the other fake news have no journalists or reveal the facts -- aren't interested in reporting anything truthful.

Too bad people in these devastated areas can't be warned by their government -- maybe their news/broadcasting stations need to be notified. The converts will be wasting money giving it to the cult.

Yes - they think those who have something they WANT have to 'share' with them - many are there to fleece. I learned hard and fast. They're too lazy to get a real job plus they want to waste time with the mucky-mucks in field service knowing they have to lock step to fit into the clique. They make the worldly folk look wonderful - and many are but there are some good JWs who are ethical and have a fear of god (whatever) or good conscience/good people whether you fit into their comfort zone/world or not. They are rare. Most only act decent when they want something. I experienced this more than I care to recall -- heard this so much from a couple that were in the medical world (professionals) - JWs are full of stage work.

Like I was told by a PO - avoid situations hiring/dealing -- avoid all those situations so I learned to duck but was hounded by elders on their own initiative to help this loser or another -- it's quite a con game inside. Some of those good hearted elders pimp for their faves and I know their intentions were good -- until they learned otherwise! They don't care if they rob or snob you (the cons) because you have to forgive them - (oh - and it's a family) what a concept!
