  by minimus in

  2. friends

  the conservative icon rush limbaugh passed away today.

  he had lung cancer and finally succumbed to the disease.

  what is sad and disgusting is how some people are happy and thrilled that he is gone.

  I did not say that Rush created the parody. I said "When Barack Obama was still a Senator, Rush enjoyed playing a song parody ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ on his show, so maybe we could play that at his funeral to remind people what Rush was all about."
  
  We can turn Rush's life story into a parody joke which it is.

  Evolution is a theory like gravity is a theory.
  We know gravity exists but the way it works can only be called a theory.
  Still, it is beyond hypothesis- A hypothesis proposes a tentative explanation or prediction. A theory is a substantiated explanation for an occurrence.
  
  A theory is a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method, and which brings together many facts and hypotheses.
  
  So gravity is a fact that must be called a theory. Evolution is a fact, but the way things evolved is in theories and a few hypotheses.

  They did away with me years ago. Whatever it is that gets you "assignments," get out of it. "I just cannot do it."

  The Ministry School and the talks are not mandatory. Regardless of what your wife might say, you could approach the School Overseer (or whatever they call him nowadays) and simply say, "The assignments are too much for me. Remove me from the school." Then don't back down.
  
  It won't generate an investigation. Plenty of people weren't on the school when I was the overseer.

  Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

  by minimus in

  it looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

  While there never were going to be enough votes to convict, it was stupid to say that a former president cannot be impeached because he is gone.
  
  If a police officer retires, we cannot try him for using too much violence on the job during his career.
  If a surgeon retires, we cannot convict him for operating under the influence of alcohol during his career.
  Anyone can retire if we discover they did something criminal during their career.....especially right there near the end.

  Do You Think Trump Is Done?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.

  some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!

  is trump’s goose cooked?

  Regardless of his inability to win, Trump will surely announce he will run for president again and help destroy the Republican party. He won't do it for that reason. He will run because he loves rallies where people hang on every utterance of his and he needs the money.

  I won't say anything bad about Rush. I will just quote him:
  
  "Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."
  
  "When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it's an invitation."
  
  "If any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it's Caucasians. The white race has probably had fewer slaves and for a briefer period of time than any other in the history of the world."
  
  He once mock translated Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2011. He said: "'Ching cha. Ching chang cho chow. Cha Chow. Ching Cho. Chi ba ba ba. Kwo kwa kwa kee. Cha ga ga. Ching chee chay. Ching zha bo ba. Chang cha. Chang cho chi che. Cha dee. Ooooh chee bada ba. Jee jee cho ba.' Nobody was translating, but that's the closest I can get."
  

  When Barack Obama was still a Senator, Rush enjoyed playing a song parody ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ on his show, so maybe we could play that at his funeral to remind people what Rush was all about.

  How Do You Think Election Votes Should Be Counted?

  by minimus in

  do you think voters should be required to prove that they are legitimate?.

  As liberal as I am, I have no problem with ID requirements for voters. Just make it a priority to get everyone an ID.
  
  But all human beings are legitimate human beings.
  
  But there should be an absolute standard for voting instead of 50 states different standards.
  And that's just the tip of the iceberg. So many problems exist with gerrymandering and voter suppression and trying to remove "legitimate" votes. And that whole electoral college invented to compromise with slave states- that really needs to end and have a straight up popular vote for president.

  I always thought about songs that help me as an ex-witness. Not really thought about ones that take me right back.
  Your Ozzie choice is excellent, but I was not a JW until my 20's and I got high at 17 years old at an Ozzie concert when the Bizzard of Oz album came out, so I like that memory.
  
  I am thinking more like this:

  Friend Is Worried About My “Mental Health”...lol

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  one of my tennis friends who happens also to be a nurse, told me today that he is concerned about my mental health because i support donald trump.

  i believe he got shafted but i also recognize that very little will probably change regarding his being re-elected.

  this man voted for the “green” candidate and said he personally agrees with most of trump’s views but he thinks he’s morally corrupt.

  I get where your friend is coming from.
  Trump is to "corrupt politicians" what Shaquille O'Neal is to "tall."
  
  Your friend's concern about you being in a cult is valid. I mean- it's one thing to vote for Trump for personal reasons, but it's completely different to continue supporting his claims of a massive fraudulent election that was stolen from him when it is crystal clear that Trump lost without such a fraud and that the same claims are being used to rake in even more money from supporters before he goes out of the White House.
