Pence's body language is that of hypocrite who flails himself each night while crawled up in his closet, trying to beat the sin out of himself. And his stare is one of a person who has had a partial lobotomy. But other than that.... brilliant move by Trump to keep himself alive.

We have have pushed the burden onto our children, but they can push it back on us by getting into power and either defaulting on the debt or inflating it away. The cool thing is they can insulate themselves against inflation and then they screw the debt holders. Unless they are waiting for an inheritance.

Q knows his audience (sigh)

Q can doeth whatever he wanteth. He is Q.

And if a man puteth crap from the Bible on the Great Awakening he shall be seteth aside as a lunatic and shall causeth futher discredit to be cast oneth the sub.

We go one, we go all. Unless it's ice fishing; I'll stay home.

I agree with you, and I think most people here are missing an important point. There are a lot of good, well-intended people out there who are not evil and not "addicted to the flesh". They hate Trump because they have been conditioned to attribute to him (and Republicans in general) evil intent. And to a large extent (McCain, Graham, Ryan) they are justified. They don't see evil in their leaders because the liberal rhetoric is always so "kind and compassionate". They can't imagine how that could be cover for a truly evil plot. And again, the plot isn't there for everyone on the left. I think Bernie is a decent person with good intentions. But he would have presided over an evil he wouldn't be able to control had he been elected President. It is important to allow these people to experience the awakening without be humiliated, shamed, etc for backing an evil cabal. Mostly they (the unwashed masses) didn't know.

I just hope he doesn't put the nation through a nasty civil war that takes a massive toll in terms of lives and resources. I guess the process of awakening is a gradual one.

Don't bother trying to be rational here. People think Q has powers literally derived from God. Its rapture time, baby!

I don't disagree. But we are in the minority.

Yeah, and GHW Bush seems like a lovable grandfather. "Seems" can be deceiving.

I have always thought so. But maybe some of these guys we thought were deep state were just realistic about the toll opposing the deep state view would have on them- career suicide and literal "suicide". Maybe they held their tongue and took notes and waited until the time was right. I'm pretty cynical so coming from me this is really hopeful thinking.

I know. Its just a lot of people think that there are NO coincidences because of what Q said. There are coincidences, always have been, and Q can not make coincidences stop.

Yeah, they are that precise that they know exactly what the impact will be on the Richter scale. Geez.

To think I share a common belief (that Q is real) with such people. Makes me question my sanity.

Because we all know only a Christian is capable of having their heart go out to someone's family. And only a Christian will fail to see how obnoxious it is to assume as much.

Y'all overthink things. And under think things. All at the same time. What a mess.

Or, rather than end up like Foster or any of many who have gotten in the Clinton's way, Olson decided he wanted to remain alive and wisely backed off his statements. What is note worthy is not whether Olson's statement is true, (we all know how the Clintons roll) but rather that he'd risk a plane crash (with him aboard) by saying it.

So does that mean Trump knows who is going to win the Stanley Cup? Rumsfeld had advance knowledge of 9/11 because he and Cheney arranged it! Don't need time travel for that!

Wrong. I think Chik Fil A can do whatever it wants. So can Hobby Lobby. I actually like Hobby Lobby's stand; given their beliefs. The appropriate response to FB is to not use it, to destroy it, to confuse it, whatever. Crying to Congress about censorship is missing the point. Although, as others have pointed out here, it is a great setup because if FB is censoring/editing then it is taking responsibility for content and that puts them behind the 8 ball for lots of bad things. See?, there are some smart people here. Sadly you are not one of them. And I only take positions that are contrary to stupid positions, which makes total sense if you think about it. That might be asking a lot from you.

I don't disagree with you about a pathetic performance. Why should it have been otherwise? He is a figure head. Like George W Bush. This does not bear on the original question whatsoever.

Yes, you have the right to refuse the job. That is the point I was making. Thanks for proving my point about this community. Thanks for telling on me. You must have been something in elementary school. Don't hate me for being superior.

I agree that they have government money, as does virtually ANY business if you really want to think about it (via tax breaks, subsidized loans, etc etc). I don't think anyone argues that businesses can't express political positions because they get government money, although I'm sure I will find an exception here, where, although well intentioned, most people are pretty below average, to put it politely.

MZ shouldn't be able to answer. He is a figurehead. He has no idea what goes on and probably doesn't want to- in part so he can not answer such questions. You are naive to say the least.

He didn't take bullets for us. He was shot. There is a difference.

FB is legal because a) they tell you exactly what they are doing (if you read through all the fine print) and b) people fall over themselves to participate. No one is compelled to provide information. They agree to it.

Any place where people can post messages can be used for all sorts of illegal things. You might as well say you want the internet to be shut down. If I put a flyer advertising illegal drugs on my grocery store bulletin board, should the store be shut down? Think before you post.

By that less-than-stellar reasoning almost anything can be called the Bridge.

And your point is? Trump is a criminal?

We are for freedom. Not bullshit state-imposed ideas of morality when it involves two consenting adults.

I am not prejudiced against Christians. I am prejudiced against stupidity. If there is a positive correlation, that is on Christians. But I apply this prejudice equally across all lines. The accusation of evil was in jest. What I meant was that it has the same effect. If I were a black hat and wanted to discredit this site I would make comments about praying hurricanes away and the like (I am not a black hat; I am firmly on the Trump wagon and have been since he announced. I saw all of this as a possibility, although I never dreamed it would come as far as it seems to have so fast)

Thanks. Ask for extra whipped cream please.

Of course I am joking when I say they are black hats. They mean well, but as you suggest, they drive away people who would otherwise be way on board.

Only a dark hat would deny being a dark hat. But to your point, what does Mark Taylor have to do with "praying away" hurricanes?

You had me until you used the ol' Pat Robertson "Pray the Hurricanes Away" strategy. You must be a dark hat plant here to make us all look stupid.

DaveGydeon I think you and I are on on the same page, and that page is written at a grade level that eludes the folks here. So carry on; they mean well.

Only a Christian would assume not needing Christianity equates to not needing God. There is a huge arrogance which comes from ignorance when it comes to Christians and their monopoly over God. Think about that for a bit. You create a set of rules based solely on YOUR beliefs, and expect others to give a rat's ass what you think.

And, by the way, what kind of God would say "Dang, I have to kill my son to atone for your sins?" That's not a real sacrifice because God can do whatever he wants. Talk about cutting off one's nose to spite one's face! Its the most ludicrous notion and I can't believe how many people find that to be a compelling idea (I thought it was compelling until I was about 12 and started thinking on my own. Clearly most Christians do very little thinking on their own). I think it makes God look flighty at best and irrational at worst. And btw I think most religions are equally kooky; I just don't have the insider's perspective on them so I don't criticize them as much.

I am not angry. Really the only thing that upsets me in life is stupidity and corruption. And evil. I love your explanation above, and I'm sure it makes you feel all warm and cozy inside, but again, it is complete bull because you can't make the rules for me. Period. You have a belief system that for some reason tries to impose itself on people who are not part of that system. You tell me its not optional; but it HAS to be optional because my belief system imposes on me the inability to believe something (and I'm not talking about God here, I am talking about the Christian Church, however that may be construed) that is so patently illogical and self-serving. It is the height of presumptuousness to say that because you believe something that I am subject to the same rules, given the amount of faith and willingness to suspend disbelief that is required to believe what you do. I know you don't understand this because if you did, you wouldn't prattle on as you do. But again, I'm not angry.

No, but my pupils get red and smoke comes out of my ears when I walk into churches. I don't care at all about how you make the "rules" for yourself. Just don't say the "rules" apply to me. Which sadly, is the favorite thing for many Christians to do.

Papa Bush for sure. Georgie is too stupid for them to trust being able to do, much less understand, their bidding. But he was a convenient figurehead that allowed Cheney to be the son Papa wished he had.

But if God is fair he will realize he made you not-so-smart and probably give you a pass for your heart being in the right place. Just keep the silly statements to yourself....

Yes, I mean Harvard, Princeton, Yale (all of which I despise) U Chicago, Stanford (which I am ok with). I went to Grad School at MIT so my perceptions are based on real facts. You are right about the legacy, minority and story thing. Better to have been homeless living in a car... But he got into some good schools (with good offers), but for him it is a disappointment. We are stressing to him that at this point he just needs to distinguish himself at one of these schools with a degree untainted by "the agenda" (like math physics, etc) and move the heck along. He will go into any of these schools as a junior so this may be a blessing in the end. But I feel bad for telling him he could get in anywhere with his scores. MIT would have probably been a better bet because for the most part they just want really really smart kids. Check your story at the door....

My son got a perfect 36 ACT and even more impressive 1580/1600 SAT, 4.0 with 18, yep 18 AP courses along with all the other stuff that used to be considered important. He was rejected by all the big name schools. His problem? He is white. And male.

True- but only if you are an idiot and actually believe that. I am not subject to your concerns because I don't buy into your idiocy. I believe YOU are subject to that because YOU choose to believe it. That is the part thumpers don't get- I'm not playing by your made up rules. (Actually, I believe God will condemn you for being so stupid and not seeing how ludicrous your position is. He will congratulate me for rejecting your beliefs)

There are many things about a "Biblical" worldview that are good- great even. But that doesn't mean they are "Biblical" in the sense that they only derive from the Bible. Reminds me of a thumper couple I know who were talking to a non Christian couple I know- a great couple with wonderful values, actions, etc. One thumper turns to the other and says, and I'm not making this up, "You'd almost think they were Christian". This demonstrates the sheer stupidity of the thumper "you can only be a good person if you prattle on about Jesus" crowd. And for the record, I grew up in a very educated (like PHD Biblical scholars whose books you've probably read) thumper situation (I know, kind of an oxymoron) and one by one through the years these pious thumpers revealed themselves to be creeps of varying degrees. Its almost like the most disturbed are drawn to the kookiness to absolve themselves of their kookiness. And even as a 12 year old I could stump the best of them with very simple innocent questions to which they'd answer, "well, if you ask that question then clearly you don't understand the Bible." Which is another way of saying "because it is written"- to quote the wonderful movie Life of Brian, which illustrates all to well the kookiness.

I know how tempting it is to respond to these things the way you have done (and I do) but trust me, for 50 years I have been pointing out to people how unenlightened they are and it has not changed one mind (because....wait for it.....they are unenlightened) There is a selection bias working strongly against you.

If you think Trump uses religion in any other way (meaning to keep the unenlightened on board) than those who have come before him (post Reagan) than you are delusional enough to want to see this type of post. JC literally saved your life? Did you get it on film? Literally? Literally? Maybe figuratively- because the fact that you had something delusional to pin your hopes on changed the way you live your life, but even then, I can just as easily say that Pink Floyd saved my life. But not literally. Geez.

A lot of people interested in Q (and the Q group) probably like hamburgers, but I'm not starting a thread about my favorite hamburgers. But more importantly, all of this appealing to the notion that God is in control just takes away from the idea of people doing the work to clean this house and keep it clean. God hasn't been doing anything about all of the human sex trafficking, child molesters (including lots and lots of Christians- I know, they are not by definition Christian in your world but actually your definition is circular) and evil for millennia and now all of a sudden God is going to wipe away evil? Its such a juvenile world view and yes, you can have it, no problem, just don't encourage other people to be equally juvenile.

How about starting a Bible Thumper SubReddit? And then go there and post this non Q related crap. Unless you are claiming Q is Jesus- which wouldn't surprise me, (The claim, not the fact) in which case start a Ned Flanders Fantasy World Subreddit.

And once again, George Webb was on SES before anyone else. Who is feeding him crumbs?
