It’s a good point. Anecdotal vs scientific evidence: anyone who’s been to “uni” should know the difference. An anecdotal clip between two people doesn’t represent a large cross section of voters, just as THIS clip of very clueless [democrats] doesn’t (I hope) necessarily represent the majority of them. If it does, then we’re all fucked.

i don't feel like i need to believe in "jebus" to appreciate the music.
i can't go into a gospel church because i might just get religion again - that or i'll be grabbing the mic on be on the stage waving my hands and praising the lord.. i particularly like dylan's gospel period.

One of my all time faves. Funny story behind this...an office manager the employees hated got fired at an old job of mine. We played this song the minute we found out. (Followed by ding song the witch is dead.)

I’m an exjw and hate the organization, but that video you shared of JWFairyTale pissed me off. I don’t blame the guy that wanting to fight him.
Violence isn’t the answer, but someone like that deserves a good ass kicking.

Since Democrats Are All About the “Children” why does ABORTION Not Bother Them?
by minimus inif everything is supposed to be about the lives of children, how can they hypocritically fight to take babies and kill them?
what about the children and their quality of life?.

I’m in favor of Plan B pills.
But anytime there’s a body that has to be taken out, it’s extremely disturbing to me.
I’m morally opposed to abortions after the point of where a Plan B pill won’t work.
But do I want the government legislating morals? Not really.

Separating children at the border....
by mikeflood ini mean, the law about separating children from their fathers crossing southern us border have been in the books since before obama's era.
the thing is that enforcing that law it has become a public relations disaster for the trump administration.
there's also to much animosity in latin america too, remember the classic agitator "u.s. is the evil empire that treat us badly just to see always their own interests".

Flipper: I support Trump when I agree with him. I don’t always agree with him, but I do on lots of issues.
Can you explain to me how he is being dominating, controlling and uncaring towards me personally? Because that’s what the governing body does to their “followers.” How is Trump doing that to me, someone you would probably classify as a “follower”?

No, Trump's an absolute failure as a president. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
Absolute failure?
Words have meanings, Flipper. Stop guzzling the absolutism kool-aid.
Here are four things he succeeded at that I'm happy with.
1: Tax-cut bill
- I know how much leftists like you love taking people's money away from them, but Taxation is Theft, and letting me keep more of my own hard-earned money has improved my family life for the better. You probably haven't experienced the benefits of this bill, though, because you live in tax-happy California.
2. Revoked the Individual Mandate of the ACA
- I pay for health insurance for my family because it's what I should do. However, I don't want the federal government by law requiring me to pay a private company money. It sets a bad precedent for control of individual finances.
3. The Economy
- Consumer confidence at 17-year high, more than 2 million jobs created, mortgage applications for new homes rise to a 7-year high, unemployment rate at 17-year low, signed the Promoting Women In Entrepreneurship Act, investment in America's economy from major businesses (FoxConn, Toyota, Ford and others)
4. First President in office to publicly say he would support legislation for the decriminalization of Marijuana.
- I'm 100% on his side for this, although I eventually want it legalized for recreational use.

Now, whether you like these things he's done or not, you can't say he's an "absolute failure" as these things were part of the platform he was elected on. He's been successful in making headway on his agenda.
Now, if your measure of success is "does everything I want and does nothing I disagree with", then there's no helping you.
There are things Trump has done that I disagree with. I don't like his Twitter personality (although it is entertaining to see people get so triggered by it). Though I think we need to be tough on trade, I don't like him negotiating tariffs in the public eye. That approach should only be a last resort. I want him to be tougher on Human Rights issues with our allies and enemies. The most I've seen him do is condemn Syria and Iran. He needs to also condemn Saudi Arabia and China.
----
I don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome...I don't have Social Media (deleted all my accounts) so I don't get worked up through a feedback loop of an echo chamber. I call Trump out when I feel he's wrong (Syria Strikes).
I would love to vote for a more classically liberal candidate in 2020, however the only front-runners the Democrats seem to be promoting are far-left idealogues that promote Marxist ideology.
If my choices are between Trump and a far-left Marxist like Kamala Harris, I'm voting for Trump again. At least he's in favor of the individual over the collective.

The left:
"Latin America isn't a sh!t hole!"
"Make America Mexico Again!"
"Viva Mexico!"
Also the left:
"OMG, don't send them back!"
"They're asylum seekers! Don't you know what's going on in their country?"

For Those Claiming That the GB are Simply Naive - Another Philly Story

I was just about to post this.
This article is damning. Maybe even more of a "red pill" than the Candace Conti story.
Unfortunately, if a Witness isn't mentally ready to wake up, this won't even phase them...they'll probably see the tattoo this brave young lady has and then not even read the article because "Tattoo=Satan."
