my only prowess in making predictions stems from my 77-years of life in the united statesgrowing up under president truman, eisenhower, kennedy, nixon, .....etc.
etc.i was a widdle kid sitting in front of a tiny black and white tv set when the very first broadcastsof political conventions, deal-making, debates (nixon vs kennedy), assassinations (jfk, rfk, martin luther king, etc.
) i grew up with duck and cover under my elementary schooldesk, the cold war, the iron curtain, the korean war, the vietnam war and i went to federal prisonas a jw conscientious objector while hippies, flower children, political activists protested and universitystudents were fired up on by troops.i grew up reading newspapers (2 of them).
Well said Balaamsass2.
History seems cyclical and humans doomed to keep making the same mistakes over and over.
Personally, I believe Trumpolini will lose, because he is a big loser and needs to be fired from the political scene.
If Trumpolini wins it may only be that he gets the electoral points not the popular vote, like he did last time.
a comedian in a comedy sketch at a trunp rally joked that the island of puerto rico is a floating island of garbage.. what to do???
potus pappy joe to the rescue!!
he sounds the alarm, comes out swinging and calls trump supporters, actual people, garbage.. .
Trumpolini supporters Don't Deserve To Be Called Garbage!!!
That said Trumpolini is still running scared and that's why he's using so many expletives against his opponent.
I believe Trumpy is going to loose big time. His Trumpy followers won't like it one bit and they'll cry foul again. Maybe the GOP will go back to its senses after that.

That guy in the cartoon with a 2x4 in His eyesocket looks like a younger Tony Morriss III.
about a month ago, some unknown poster who looked like one of those guys with a tin foil hat posted on a youtube video that north korea soldiers were landing on russia, during the night, armed to the teeth.
he was making these crazy comments that north korea had committed to help russia fight against nato and that they were getting ready to use nukes against nato countries if nato started using them first.
in less the an hour the video was taken down.
Don't Trump supporters care about democracy and the rule of law? Don't they care about the Cconstitution? I guess not so much when they support dictators and proven enemies of the United States. Trump only cares about himself. He doesn't seem to care if he steps all over the Cconstitution to get his way. But, what can one expect from someone whose longest lasting chief of staff called him a fascist.
Trumpolini ain't gonna drain no swamp, he's the swamp monster himself and loves the putrid muck in Washington and the fetid stench of Nazi fashion politicking!
remember 1975?
maybe when you were a kid - like i was?
i will celebrate 01.10.2025 the 50th anniversary of the "end of 6000 years of human history and the immediate end of the world".
We have Freddie Franz to thank for all the 6000 year hoopla nonsense that never amounted to anything real.
Happy mid-centennial anniversary!

what you are about to watch is another leaked instalment from the recent annual meeting delivered by kenneth cook with the theme "help to tear down and build up" and highlights tge new take o disfellowshipping that will from now concentrate on major wrongdoing whereas minor wrongdoing will be dealt with kind and love.so the watchtower's at it again, rewriting the narrative like an old tv show that conveniently forgets a character's past.
for decades, the organization has been the ultimate gatekeeper, quick to kick out members for even minor missteps—let's not forget how jehovah's witnesses have had to grovel and practically beg to be reinstated.
What are they up to?
Well, they are up to their necks in law suits and governmental scrutiny, which leaks what they are most fond of... filthy lucre!
They are having to tweak and adjust their policies so they don't continue to pay out money out their corporate wazoo.
They hate losing money and that is what drives their decisions.
he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.
a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.
generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..
Sooo, if she finds any type of sexual intimacy with her husband to be sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience, then tough luck dude welcome to a life of celibacy, at least with your wife, and well isn't that how CT Russell and Joe Rutherford's marriages were?
w52 2/1 p. 78 par.
7 jehovah’s theocratic organization today "when christ came for judgment in 1918 (1) he found some associated with this group that thought the lord had delayed his coming and they were oppressing their fellow slaves in christ.
these were cast off as the “evil slave” class.
Even in 1952 they couldn't accept the fact that some Bible Students saw Rutherford's power grab and left the WT, and branded these dissidents the Evil Slave when in fact the Evil one was Joe Rutherford and his conspiratorial cronies.
Now they try to hide the fact saying the Evil Slave is just a literary construct and not part of a prophecy. It was never a prophecy, it was a parable, an illustration.
The WT can't have it both ways, either the Evil Slave is a real thing or It's not. Frankly, the WT hierarchy acts like the Evil Slave in the parable, plain and simple.

What I also found surprising is that by attending a kingdom school for a couple of months one could become a missionary or a circuit overseer at 21 y.o.a.
