  Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

  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..

  Should Difference of Opinion Be Squelched On Sites Such As FB or Twitter?

  by minimus in

  i think that for the most part, dissenting views should be allowed to exist because of free speech principles.

  one person may strongly feel that something is true while someone else may present “facts” that support the opposing view.

  when that is the case, healthy discussion is mostly productive.

  Trump is not guilty of incitement under D.C. law. I don't know why the Dems keep saying that.

  As things stand right now though, our right of free speech is a restriction on the ability of government to suppress it.

  A social media outlet is under no more obligation to let you publish your opinion than a newspaper is. Which is none at all

  I was amused when Facebook banned the "Free States Militia" which is actually a faction in a survival themed video game and not a real militia at all.

  Until the courts rule one way or the other on the status of these companies I would say they have not just a right, but an obligation to remove certain content, but gee....

  They're way too trigger-happy right now.

  Hysteria & Final Thoughts

  by Sea Breeze in

  every republican president ever elected starting with reagan generated hysteria in the news media.

  they belittled, cajoled, ridiculed, mocked and resisted the highest elected leader in the land in an attempt to overturn the will of the people.

  reagan.

  And, now its over. We will never see another Republican President.

  Sure we will. Biden's anti-gun agenda is enough all by itself to swing moderates back to the conservative side.

  Republicans will repair the damage Trump has done and go back to being the party of reason, moderation and constitutional scholarship.

  Who knows? Maybe in time, Trump supporters will learn the difference between conservatism and populism and understand why even conservative groups like the Heritage and Second Amendment Foundations had problems with him

  On the subject of Middle America:

  I pointed out to Jim Penton years ago that the Dixie Chicks comments abroad would likely alienate their Middle America fan base and got basically the same response

  To be fair, there is a segment of liberals, mostly on the coasts, who view the inhabitants of Texas, Arizona, etc. to be a bunch of uneducated podunks.

  Believe it or not, JWN was very liberal 12 to 15 years ago and comments like that were made more than a few times

  Misheard song lyrics

  by jhine in

  i thought that as there seems to have been some very serious sh-stuff being discussed lately maybe a light hearted thread might be in order .

  i was thinking about misheard song lyrics ( climb every woman ) and it seemed a good topic for a thread .to start off for many years l thought that fat boy slim was singing about some very posh shoes with funk soul rubber on the bottom .

  has anyone else realised that they have been singing the wrong words ?

  My sister-in-law thought the Winter Wonderland Christmas song that went, "Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire" went "Later on we'll perspire..."

  We're definitely living in interesting times. The live feed of today's joint session was interrupted about 20 minutes ago because Trump supporters have apparently stormed the Capitol building

  i was told that if a jw now gets caught reading or with old jw literature they can get dfed.

  i doubt this is true but wanted to know for sure.

  No.

  The specter of apostasy does not enter the picture until one makes a habit of pointing out the ignorance in these publications to other JW's.

  These vaccines may contain small amounts of human albumin as an adjuvant. This is produced recombinantly from yeast, so I don't suppose JW's would have a problem with it even if they knew.
