Good riddance

Bet you it doesn't happen.

It won't but I do think they've morphed into a different animal than they were born as. Even my deceased uncle in Fort Worth who collected guns and was an avid hunter felt they had lost their way and would not support them. Specifically calling the head an idiot.

Buddahaid · 08-07-20, 12:09 AM

Um, hurt God? Can't be much of a god to be hurt by a mortal.

Another reason I think Trump is too stupid to remain president. I'm really trying to look beyond his dumbed down speech but then his concepts get in the way.

"He's against God. He's against guns." (Trump about Biden)
Someone did not read or understand the bible. But who cares.

Yeah, guns are the biggest problem in the country , I mean it needs much more.

Education of kids, Treatment of animals, Climate change is not so important for him - but yes, also for his fanbase...otherwise he would choose other topics to get reelected, wouldn't he ?

Depends on which part of it you refer too. Old and new gospels being the most profound difference, but even within the new gospel there are differences between what Jesus preached, and what was preached in his name by others coming after him.
Its a crazy, inconsistent book.

Straight from the heart!

Quote:

Joe Biden: 'Why the hell would I take a cognitive test?'
Presidential hopeful Joe Biden says he has not taken a cognitive test for dementia, adding that he trusts the public to decide if he is fit for office.

President Trump has previously spoken highly about his own results and has suggested that Mr Biden is not in the best mental state.

Joe Biden disagreed with this suggestion and said he looked forward to the presidential debates.

New York City saw more than 200 shootings in June

Quote:

President Donald Trump has said US cities are seeing a spike in crime, as he sends in federal law enforcement agents to tackle the situation.

He has denounced a string of Democrat-run cities which are "plagued by violent crime".

Quote:

We've looked at violent crime, and found it's down overall in many cities, but murders have risen sharply in some.

Quote:

Violent crime continues to fall
In many major US cities, including Chicago and New York, violent crime overall is down compared with the same time last year.

Quote:

Various cities define violent crime in slightly different ways, but it usually includes murder, robbery, assault and rape.

Data up to 26 July

The situation is clearly strained .... perhaps depending on the current situation.

Trump will lose, the man says. some weeks another man like this one predicted by his own model that he wil win, and his model also is famous for having been right since long time.

I currently think Trump will lose. Thats my current conclusion on the situation, as things are now.

mapuc · 08-07-20, 05:41 PM

I couldn't care more or less on who will be the next president in USA after Nov. 3 + days when they are counting these vote by mail.

On the other hand
I wish he will win. This have something to do, with what I have witness throughout the years.

It's 150 % sure-If a Trump supporter write something on a news papers FB-wall Some of the Anti-trumpers are very ugly in their response to these people.

And that's why I wish he may win.

It's the only reason.

That's because as a foreigner you don't get the reference. It is from a very old saying: "God, guns and guts built America". I would add that Biden hiding in his basement has no guts either.

Isnt that a bit simplistic, mapuc?

Dowly · 08-08-20, 05:05 AM

Not only is it simplistic, but it also ignores the conduct of both Trump and his supporters.
