I saw a video where they panned to the right, and it looked like a hydraulic line on a nearby lift was hit.

That’s the biggest thing this country is missing right now. It’s OK to disagree with other people, but for some reason, people seem to think they are enemies because they disagree. We are all individuals, with our own views on everything. There isn’t a single person in the world that I agree with 100% on everything. To assume that anyone I disagree with is somehow evil, or my enemy, is insane.

Love that book

I would argue that there’s no longer a reason for religion to exist, but at the same time, as long as it’s not being pushed on those around them, or harming others, I generally just ignore it. It’s absolutely possible to be a good and kind person, who isn’t religious at all. It does bother me though, that people claim that their religious text is unadulterated from the original, and quote it to others as a way to tell them they are bad, and should change their ways, while ignoring anything that’s inconvenient to what they want to pretend their religion is. All 3 of the Abrahamic religions pretend they are about peace and love, but if you read their respective religious texts, there are multiple calls to violence, killing, slavery, misogyny, racism, etc, all of which most of them pretend they are against. Their religions are based on violence and hate, while they pretend they are following a loving god. I grew up in a very religious household, my dad being a pastor, but if you actually pay attention, they’re shit religions, who are based on some pretty awful things. I wish more of the people who embrace the Abrahamic religions would actually pay attention to how awful they are told to be, and realize how bad it is. So many wars and conflicts could be avoided if people realized they were just following violence based on a belief of a non existent deity.

If you’re going to follow the Bible, make sure you’re not picking and choosing the parts you want to follow. If the commands from your god are that important, you can’t ignore half of them.

2 Kings 6:28-29 But then the king asked, “What is the matter?” She replied, “This woman said to me: ‘Come on, let’s eat your son today, then we will eat my son tomorrow.’ So we cooked my son and ate him. Then the next day I said to her, ‘Kill your son so we can eat him,’ but she has hidden her son.

Psalm 137:9 Blessed the one who seizes your children and smashes them against the rock: the children represent the future generations, and so must be destroyed if the enemy is truly to be eradicated

Leviticus 25:44-46 “Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.”

1 Timothy 2:11-12
“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.”

I’ve also been saying this for a while. If the people who hate him quit talking about him, they will quit advertising for him. Let him be forgotten. I honestly hear significantly more people and news media who are against him, talking about him, than I do people in favor of him. Don’t let him live in your head rent free. Talk about the person who you DO want as president. Talk about the things that are important to you, that your candidate is for. Don’t talk about the other guy. Let his name fade into history.

I agree with you, the entire thing was a farce. There’s no way he LEGITIMATELY got 88% of the vote. Just another dictator, doing dictator things.

According to the article, this was his biggest win yet

I’m not championing tax cuts for the elite, they should be taxed, I just think we need to fix the government first, or the taxes will be pointless.

Great, and when that money disappears into contracts for their friends and donors, which do nothing for everyday people, then what? The rich got punished (yay!), and it did nothing for anyone else. Sounds pointless.

So they don’t give out billions to friends and donors, who then give them money to influence them?

You’re right, it doesn’t go directly to them, but strangely enough, most federal level politicians get richer while in office.

Actually, you know what? Stay ignorant, and keep voting in the people who are looking to make themselves richer. It’s worked so far, so why do anything different, right? I’m sure they’ll get around to taxing the rich… someday. /S

So all the millionaires in Congress aren’t rich? Damn.

So we can tax the rich for the money right? And where does that money go? Oh ya, to the government, who does whatever they want with it, making themselves, their friends, and donors, richer. That’ll definitely help us /s

Taxing the rich does nothing until you can fix the government. Fix the government first, and you can fix the rest. The government is the rich, they aren’t going to do anything that would impact themselves. Some of them talk a good game, but if push comes to shove, they aren’t going to raise taxes on themselves.

That’s been my guess for quite awhile now. His platform didn’t make a ton of sense, and he frequently said similar things as Trump, while not wanting to put down Trump for the most part. Love him or hate him, Christie was one of the loudest voices on the right that talked negatively about Trump. Don’t get me wrong he’s still garbage, but at least he spoke out against him, which is tough for a Republican candidate to do. Vivek on more than one occasion refused to do that. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him as the VP pick.

Or to the friends, family, or donors of the politicians. I have no idea why you’re getting down voted. The only thing I can think of is that people seem to be under the impression that taxing the rich will put more money into their own pockets, which definitely won’t happen. The government is too corrupt to allow that to happen. Taxing the rich is a good thing, but it won’t help the rest of us, not with the way the government has been run for multiple decades.

I have no problem with the rich being taxed at a significantly higher rate than all of us, but how will this help everyone else? The government isn’t going to lower taxes for everyone else. The government isn’t going to spend the money more wisely. The government isn’t going to give the rest of us money. The government isn’t going to improve the existing programs that are in place, or create new programs to help people. What they will do, is find even more ways to line their own pockets, and the pockets of their friends and donors. Just a thought, but maybe we should address that first? Fix the government, and we can fix everything else.

And before someone starts in about how it’s a particular party that’s a problem, remember that almost every federal level politician is corrupt, and scamming the people. Just take a look at how many significantly increase their wealth while in office. It’s staggering, and it’s both parties. We need an overhaul of the system. That’s where the fix needs to be.
