The Olympics Alienated Billions
Rebound replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Let me get this straight: You expect non-Christians to be woke to your feelings? You want them to be so woke that they won’t parody a painting of the Greek Dionysus, because it may be misconstrued as a parody of a different painting? So now you guys believe in Woke? -
Joe Biden Threatened To Kill Speaker Johnson
Rebound replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
If he wanted to kill Trump, why not order Seal Team Six to do it? Or order the Secret Service to do it? Why not order the Secret Service to stand down and remove all protection from Trump? Or order his arrest and execution? He can do any of these things, can’t he? -
Joe Biden Threatened To Kill Speaker Johnson

Why should he threaten to kill him? Isn’t Biden allowed to kill anyone, as long as it’s an “official act”? -

Chamberlain tried to sit down and work things out with Hitler, too. I’ve been on this board a while. Either you agree with the fascists or they insult you, curse at you, and attack you. I’ve given them all sorts of logical arguments, and they don’t give a hoot. They just want to watch Hitler come to power. -
the last nuclear power plants built in America had cost overruns so high (10’s of billions) that both Westinghouse and Toshiba went bankrupt. And, while we find local objections to wind farms, it’s nothing compared to the opposition which nuclear power plants face. They are extremely unpopular to build because local groups strongly oppose them. Nevada couldn’t even open a disposal facility in an ultra-ultra-ultra remote location.

Geez, you’re dense. Until now, the Court has policed itself. Justice Abe Fortas resigned after accepting a $20,000 retainer, even though he’d later returned it. But now we have a justice who accepts $4 million, clearly in violation of the US Supreme Court’s Code of Conduct, which says in part that a Justice shall avoid ALL appearance of conflict of interest. Let me tell you: Taking $4 million from people who operate large businesses which are impacted by rulings of the Supreme Court, DEFINITELY creates the APPEARANCE of a conflict of interest. Also, Supreme Court justices must only accept gifts (and must report all gifts) in accordance with this policy: https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/vol02c-ch06.pdf And that policy sets a general limit of $50 on gifts, or travel in connection with a job interview. Free private jet flights to vacation destinations are not “travel in connection with a job interview.” Why was it bad for Hunter to accept money from Burisma? Because it created the APPEARANCE of a conflict of interest. The Supreme Court has a rule which says Justices cannot do this, and Thomas clearly has. So the Court has proven they are unable to regulate their own conduct.

No. You have no magical authority to tell me that you know how to “correctly” interpret the Bible and that your magical ability gives you the right to control he lives of other people. I hope you burn in Hell for doing that. Here is the correct interpretation of The Bible: “Follow these commandments which I set before you.” That means YOU follow them. It does not say: “Interpret this book correctly and kill everyone who disagrees with your interpretation.” It doesn’t say: “I anoint thee with magical Biblical interpretation power and you shall go forth and force others to do what you think I want them to do.” Honor the sabbath day and keep it holy. Do you do that? How do you know you’re keeping sabbath holy the way the Lord commands? You don’t. You do you, and I’ll do me. The Lord does not say: “Force others to keep the Sabbath holy.” Oh, and Numbers 5:11-30.

I don’t care if the President is confined to a wheelchair or whatever. That is irrelevant, and so is your ridiculous conspiracies. The Biden policies that matter are the phenomenal economic recovery after the economy completely crashed under Trump, and our policies to transition to renewables. We should wage war on oil. All out war, because the $8 Trillion petroleum industry had been waging war on us for 75 years. Example: Russia declares war in Ukraine, and the free world boycotts Russian petroleum. What happened? Saudi saw this as an opportunity to raise prices, and OPEC went along with them. And US oil producers proved that “energy independence” is bullshlt, because they loaded up their oil, shipped it overseas, and jacked up oil prices in the U.S. But they can’t export wind and the sun! So if we quadruple our renewable electric infrastructure and transition more consumption away from petroleum, then our economy won’t suffer from inflation next time our so-called Saudi “ally” craps all over us. We will always produce and consume petroleum, at least for another fifty years, but we can be far more resilient to its price effects as we depend more and more on renewable sources. And that will make our industries far more competitive long into the future. Trump opposes that, because he’s in bed with Big Oil, who have no interest in the American people.

It’s a minuscule part of what you do as a Christian. Not nearly as big as the “judging others and being hateful of them” part. -
Wokeness Nazis Enforcing Bullshit Policy
Rebound replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
She did not provide video to “back up her story.” She provided video of her telling her story. I have no idea if it is true, but if it is true that the entire thing happened simply because she called a woman “sir,” and then apologized once corrected… it’s ridiculous to ban her, and I can’t understand why the captain would. -
I read that list. And the only item which makes any sort of commandent or law is this one: “When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” I could continue: In Jewish law, if the mother’s life is at stake, abortion is not simply permitted… abortion is required. Further, if a pregnant woman is sentenced to death, the death sentence is carried out unless she has gone into labor. Further, in the book of Numbers, a woman is commanded to drink a potion which kills her fetus. This is in the same religious text that you say you believe in! That is in fact the law in the United States, although we don’t quite go with the “eye for an eye” approach. So what is your complaint?

Meme/Cartoon of the Day
Rebound replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
What’s your point? A black person can’t be a reverend? A black person can’t be patriotic? A person who was never charged with a single crime is not innocent? One of the highest-rated comedians in television isn’t a comedian? Honestly, you make no sense at all. The FDA and CDC have current guidance which states that Ivermectin is not an approved or effective treatment or preventative for Covid-19, and you’re just acting like a fool pretending this snake oil nonsense is true. -

“According to her claim.” The claim of an “Instagram wannabe star”. Is United Airlines going to ban someone for life because they thought a woman was a man, and then apologized about the mistake? Of course not. Is that what actually happened? We do not know. A woman claims it happened. She also claims she had so much carry on baggage that she needed a flight attendant’s help just to get it all onto the plane, so… maybe she had too much? Plausible, yes? -

“I am the Lord your G-d” is the top commandment. It is Commandment One. You should know your religion better than that.
