Stacey Abrams name came up. Would you agree that's THE bottom? Oh wait! She wouldn't apply to your statement. You said CAPABLE VP.

@DesirousOfChange ...

I don't know how to be politically correct on this. I really don't. Maybe this comment will get deleted.

But Abrams (who nearly became Governor of Georgia) is just too big. A big black woman. A very skilled person, a lawyer, but just too big for voters who just take an initial view of a person. Voters know that they may be voting for President the person in the VP position due to Biden's age. In this current environment, they are getting rid of Aunt Jemima. It's not me, it's just what's going on.

Keisha Lance Bottoms, Mayor of Atlanta, a black woman, another lawyer, a couple of years older, but is, IMO, a very attractive woman. Is she smarter, more intelligent or whatever, I don't know.

I guess I am just giving a male perspective in some cases but males vote too. Personally I don't care, but I just know that a more attractive person scores points, whether male or female.

I think Michelle is busy making a shitload of money off her hubby's 8 years there ...The word is that Powell's wife is against him getting back into politics.

@DesirousOfChange ...

Yes, I totally agree with you. In Michelle's multi-millionaire status, she can do whatever she pleases, write books, and do whatever instead of having conservative news outlets watching her every move.

Colin Powell, yes, his wife originally was 100% against him running for President since he would have been the first black President. It was quoted numerous times that she was afraid he would be assassinated.

So I guess Biden has to reach further down towards the bottom of the barrel for a capable VP.

The Dems need another younger Kennedy/Clinton/Obama to get the blood flowing. Unfortunately for them, there is not a lot of inventory.

It appears Biden could win, at least at this time. He has to pick a good VP candidate since I can't see him completing two terms (8 years) as President.

IMO, if Biden would pick Michelle or Colin Powell as VP, the election is over and Trump can play golf all day. But neither of them want the job; at least that's what they have said.

So stay tuned.

How Did You Discover This Site?

Min ...

Many here may not believe in destiny but now I do.

It was a difficult time in my life, having gotten divorced from my JW wife who wanted out of the Borg. I was driving down I-95 through Baltimore and needed to stop for gas. I can still point to the exact rest stop on the highway. I had eaten some food at some greasy spoon restaurant earlier in the day and just needed to get to a bathroom.

I pulled into the rest stop and saw the sign for "Rest Rooms". I walked in, bent over to look for one of the stalls that appeared no one was using and found an empty stall. Naturally, I put some toilet paper on the seat before I sat down to be safe, not knowing who had sat there earlier. I had heard that cooties can jump from a dirty toilet seat.

When I was inside doing my business, I noticed that some people had used magic markers on the inside of the stalls to advertise their businesses. I could see that some were questionable since there was a lot of "do you want to have a good time" and stuff about BJ's and other activities.

Just to confirm that they were legitimate, I took a pen from my pocket and began to write down some of the phone numbers. I still remember that some guy named "Big Rod" even had a toll-free 800 number.

But then I noticed the diamond in the rough. This website. I quickly wrote it down. I said to myself, "Self, this is what I am looking for."

19 years later, I look back and making that stop on the highway may have been one of the most fortunate events of my life. I am truly grateful.

JW feeling persecuted yet (California)

by Anony Mous in

california, after failing to ban all religious gatherings (failed in court) has now banned all singing and chanting in religious places, including if you are on a live stream and the only person around.. i haven't heard a peep yet from the jw.borg about how to handle this new 'persecution' on religion, the only thing that came up with a search was this: .

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-november-2017/singing-essential-part-of-true-worship/.

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-july-2019/worship-jehovah-when-under-ban/.

Singing is not really a big issue within the Borg. If I recall correctly, they did not sing at meetings in Mexico for a number of years due to some sort of governmental registration thing that the JW's were like a club and not a religious group or something. Don't ask me to look it up but it has been posted here several times over the years.

As DesirousOfChange mentioned, the Borg is laying low. IMO, that is a smart move in a political sense. If you had half of a congregation affected with the virus, it would be considered "bringing reproach on God's name" or some other thing when it was broadcast on the news and throw a negative light on the Borg.

I think Prince Andy and a lot of other high-profile guys and politicians have their butt-cheeks squeezed at this moment knowing that Ghislaine Maxwell will start to sing to the authorities to minimize her prison time.
