Holy books in many religions get editted from time to time. Perhaps its time to consider some edits? Among some problematic parts I'd note the calls for genocide of certain people, religious commandments that "chosen" people should hold themselves as distinct from others and treat them differently, and statements that certain lands belong to them and them alone. Religious books arent a reasonable basis for land sharing or ownership.

At the end of the day these are just pages in books with ideas in them. Ideas some dusty old misanthropic guy penned thousands of years ago when civilization was different. The ideas arent working well for anyone these days, so how about we just change those so they are compatible with our current realities? Why are we all just -- stuck -- with ancient ideas that cause massive, massive problems?

Heck, while we have the pen out lets fix all the parts that oppress women? Anyone disagree with that? Would human rights and equality for all be taking it too far? If so, why?

yes, the centrist dems are political ninjas. You never see them coming to fight for Americans interests.

they will need their own party. Lets calls it the "dont call it genocide, No to BDS, and keep the defensive weapons flowing" party-- or the dcig.ntb.aktdwf, or "zionist-lite" party

I'll bet 100 bucks on 100 to 1 odds today that harris will not be the winner of the next election. So if you take the bet and I win, you owe me 1 dollar. If Harris wins I owe you 100 dollars. Who wants a piece of this action?

Just a few months ago she couldnt think of a single thing she would change from Bidens policies, even though those policies were polling in the 30s. Everything was so swell she couldnt think of any changes needed. Now everything is so broken so she wont stay in politics at all, but might run for president in 2028.

Thats dem leadership in a nutshell. No interest in the day to day. She learned nothing at all from her abysmal campaign.

Trump has openly said he plans on there being no more elections.

I'd never vote for any republican for any reason. But I'd also never vote for anyone who enables war crimes. So I left my vote for president blank when I filled out the rest of the ballot. And then my state went for Harris anyway. But I hear I am the worst person in the rworld and this whole thing is because of me.

Its all a big joke.

I had voted straight blue my whole life and thats over. For me and a lot of people I think. THAT is a lasting problem. The base just isnt solid anymore. Too much taking it for granted. Any "big tent" big enough to maximize vacuuming up every possible donor's check is going to end up being too constrained and untrusted to effect any change at all-- because we cant piss off any future segment of donors. And so we all end up aiding war crimes. The tent is so big and donor centric that it's unable to serve its constituents.

One does not just happen to accidentally shoot a CEO of a firm like Blackstone.

Well, lets talk about that, at work, on the taxpayers dime. I'll set us up an 8 hour meeting to go over that on monday. We can continue to meet on this until we get it all sorted.

He killed a cartoonishly evil blackstone CEO. Seems to have been the motive.

 

While it hasn't been used in 170 years, a forgotten trial by combat law still exists in Washington DC.

A group of 8 congressional dems challenged an 80 year old republican for floor time to debate a new bill to restore medicaid to its previous funding. Here is a video of the combat.

Israelis bringing their genocidal racism here, as if we didnt have enough racism problems already.

 

New Democrat coalition (pro-business centrists), and Problem Solvers cuacus (committee emphasizing bipartisan) darling up and comer Elissa Slotkin will detail the DNC democrats rebuttal to Trumps speech. Its unclear whether she will talk about Democrat's positions on key issues.

 

For those people wishing for "giant meteor" in the last US election, your desired meteor has finally arrived. The 40x90 meter fast moving meteor currently has a 2.2% likelihood of hitting earth. The effects of its impact would be severe but regional. For scale, the 30x98 meter meteor that hit the Podkamennaya Tunguska River Siberian forest in 1908 impacted 2150 sq meters (830 square miles).

Due to its lateness, smaller than needed size, lack of probable impact, and likeliness to actual deliver zero results, the meteor has been named "Centris" by observers.
