From an article I wrote nearly twenty years ago:

“Science has taught us that everything has a cause; a reason. We are not simply the victims of circumstances which are beyond our control. We are beings endowed with free will and effective power to choose what shape our future will take. The things which are affecting human being in nature with strong negative force today are the result of decisions made yesterday. The things which will come tomorrow will largely be the result of decisions made today. Would it not be wise to look closely at the principles which govern human being and submit our desire to them?”

Science has also shown that humans are not led by reason, but rather by emotion, bias, perceived experience and even subconsciously change their memory of “ facts” to excuse or explain things. That’s why existing knowledge is not changing the world, or the knowledge of climate change would have 20+ years ago.

Agreed. And these are also the kinds of real problems that conspiracy theories distract us from.

Too True ...

This is a great video perfectly summing up the Russiagate nonsense ... what a distraction that was ... fortunately it has been debunked?

No it wasn't. Trump obstructed the process. Mueller did not say Trump was exonerated. He did say there was Russian interference in the election but could not prove Trump himself was knowingly involved (even though several of his associates went to jail). Trump self-declared that he was exonerated. That wasn't what Meuller said. Be reminded that the verdict was handed down by William Barr.

The Russian trolls are probably swaying your algorithms again.

If they were honest, most Republicans would prefer a presidential candidate with most of Trump's policies, but without the arrogance, inflammatory rhetoric, and Tweets (John Kasic?). What most angers me about the Republican senate is their refusal to honor Trump's request that they negotiate a bill to lower prescription drug costs.

Its all about the Moni conspiracy. If understood through metaphorical description; conspiracy is a plan, scheme or other instituted form of organization ... some of these of white and washed out appearance and others black and hidden so as to be poorly understood for OB vious rationale!

Everybody thus has this poorly understood drive ... some extreme some not! Extreme is the politix realm ... of the body ... while SOL wonders ... allegorical light ... sometimes more felt than seen in the man in the meddle ... Kahn's by excess desires ... that's Midnight Son ET's the thing that'll cause chaos ... like Judy (Judea & under the illumination) as punched out by the scene.

It is best to remain kohl Eire 'd ... responsibly retained ...

My suspicions as well. They support him because they want his policies, not because they like him. I suspect that there is a bit of fear involved, too, of what havoc Trump could wreak on the GOP if they did turn on him.
 
TRUMP'S SUCCESSES WOULD HAVE ENSURED A LANDSLIDE REELECTION IF:
(1) He had never communicated his vitriol through Twitter
(2) If he had refrained from personal attacks against his critics and instead left that dirty job to surrogates
(3) If he himself had then taken the high road with his critics with rational responses to their obections
(4) If he had more aggressively criticized his own party in Congress and the Senate for creating roadblocks to his legislative agenda.
That way his campaign pledge to "drain the swamp" would gain credibility and respect across partisan lines.
(5) If he had expanded his political vocabulary (e. g. too many lame uses of words like "great" and "beautiful") and corrected his spontaneous speech habit of repeating the same point at least twice, thus adding fuel to the widespread perception that he is not very bright or articulate

"Sleepy Joe" and "Pocahontas," "Nancy the Ripper," and "Crooked Hillary" should have retaliated by labelling Trump "Donnie Two Times," the nickname of a mobster with the same annoying habit of saying everything twice! Many pundits think that Trump's State of the Union address was one of the best of its kind of all time. The problem is that everyone knows it was the work of speech writers. That's true for all presidents, but is particularly obvious in the case of Trump because of his speech deficiencies just illustrated.
 
Seeing as he did make those mistakes, how can he be trusted? Why does the GOP cling to him for his policies instead of nominating someone with many of the same policies, but different character?


...It's a cult.
 
But why him and not some other Republican with the same views on abortion (Trump doesn't care - he'll be antiabortion if it helps him though)? Why not Mitt Romney?

It's because it's an authoritarian cult now, and he rules it with fear.
 
Americans love The Donald BECAUSE of his flaws, not IN SPITE OF them! The Dem leaders all seem so packaged, unctuous. and patronizing. Trump's awkward, crude spontaneity seems somehow adorable by contrast. Even his problem of misstating facts just seems to make all the more adorable his fierce determination to be honest about his campaign promises!

And Bette, this just in--abortion is rightly condemned by the first-century church! But then you progressive UCCans don't care what the NT church believes, do you?

Evidence? Funny thing is that the SBC was very supportive of Roe vs Wade in the 70s. The church has been all over the map on this one, and for most of that "all over the map" time, men have been in charge of most religious institutions. Doesn't give the anti-choice position much credibility in my view.

The anti-choice opinion has no scriptural back up, either, in either the Hebrew or Christian scriptures. And Judaism hasn't got a problem with abortion. So, pretty thin ice.
 
If we consider that a lot of BS is based on early opinions ... and opinions are defined as steered considerably by emotions rather than facts ... and given what we know about early opinions is considerably foggy ... does this encourage mysticism and a lot of staring into the darker places ... as if these were alien?

However as a child I was told that knowledge was evil and I should only do as told without question ... thus a stunned state of status quo ... encouraging anti establishmentarian activities by those that would like to look under rocks and into hollow spots ...

On top of that such hidden searches are great for rising dissonance ... once know as the Eris as it passes over as alien power ... oligarchy fishes like to put all into the topography so as to boost impressions above the darkness hidden in the literary device ... a type of squeeze and Jew Sing ... and angry whine as might put red in your Ayres ... aye more to look into about Ares myth as misty! Few have such myths clearly in their head men ...

M'N was even an ancient icon of isolation and individualization ... as declared in you are individually and wonderfully made ... so keep it separated! Gathering is bad for the oligarchists! Gives them that non sense of something is becoming insecure ... and insecurity bothers those that expected to be very secure ... thus denying Uncertainty Theory as a device of a quantum god that could intervene without warning ... so listen up to what you don't know ... be additionally prepared as the integration loss may hint at!

Plus being a smart R's would be so boring if it weren't for what was lost in the "forgetting that" syndrome ... emotions can knock that out of Jah ...

Well I'm not sure if Mystic would use that which was rejected by the church fathers for the New Testament but there were early Christians that did follow these teachings and both speak out against abortion:

The Didache 2.2 (also called the Teaching of the Twelve)
CHURCH FATHERS: The Didache

The Letter of Barnabas 19.5;
www.britannica.com

Letter of Barnabas | Description, Authorship, & Facts | Britannica

Letter of Barnabas, an early Christian work written in Greek by one of the Apostolic Fathers (Greek Christian writers of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries). Tradition holds that it was written by Saint Barnabas, and the writing dates possibly from as late as 130 CE.

and 1 Enoch states that it was an evil angel that taught humans how to smash the embryo in the womb.

“During his presidency, Bill Clinton presided over the most devastating regime of economic sanctions in history, that the U.N. estimated took the lives of as many as a million Iraqis, the vast majority of them children. In May of 1996, 60 Minutes aired an interview with Madeleine Albright, who at the time was Clinton’s U.N. ambassador. Correspondent Leslie Stahl said to Albright, “We have heard that a half-million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And — and, you know, is the price worth it?”

Madeleine Albright replied, “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price — we think the price is worth it.””
 
And in contrast the Romans and Greek included abortion in their "Twelve Tables of Roman Law".
Possibly the Christians view on abortion was created to counter act the Greek and Roman attitude towards abortion?
