A non-voting friend of mine told me the raids/tariffs are to "protect jobs and bring them back to America". I asked him two simple questions. 1. Are you going to go pick fruit or make shoes?
2. What would you do if you walked into the store tomorrow and everything on the shelf cost 3x the price?

He hid inside his bullet proof box too while praising the Army for their bravery. 🐔

It literally rained on his parade. How poetic.

Close to the Honeycrisp I'd say, maybe a little lower because it's got a nice tart acidity that makes the sweetness really pop. It's my favorite apple hands down. Superior crunch as well.

G-Shocks are the best value for money watch on the market. $100 and you literally can do just about anything with it. As a teacher, my students are always excited to see a new brightly colored one on my wrist. I get more compliments on this one than I do on my Swiss watches. 😆

70's sued by the fed. gov. for denying housing to minorities, 80's paid for a full page ad calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5, 90's racist remarks about Native American casino owners, Obama birther scandal, "very fine people", "poisoning the blood", "eating the dogs", etc.

I've been looking for some new t-shirts. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate your thoughtfulness and I think we agree as well. I appreciate that you and others are taking action in the spirit of optimism in your faith. While I try to avoid falling into a state of total Nihilism, it's hard for me to be optimistic when I see the realities around me.

The fact that you as an individual or millions of willing individuals together don't or can't change this is proof that the system itself is broken.

Tell me something you do offline to hold your faith accountable. If I don't pay taxes it's a crime. Christian churches in America receive 3x the amount of tax free $ needed to end poverty. Joel Osteen lives in a $10 million house while 10 million children live in poverty in the same country.

You put words in my mouth. I support the second amendment, common sense laws around narcotics and regularly go to baseball games. 😆 We shouldn't ban religion, but I question the ability of the faithful to meaningfully account for the abuses committed in the name of god. Faith can't undue facts.

Founding fathers also owned slaves. I'm sorry but you can't separate the misuse from the thing itself. Heroin doesn't inherently kill people unless abused. Should we legalize it? Guns in the hands of children don't always kill their siblings. Should we leave them unlocked and within reach?

Christ was Jewish. Christianity is a power structure, that even in its infancy, has been used to persecute, subjugate, and other ideologies, people and faiths. I know good people who are "Christians", but they would be good people regardless of it. It causes more harm than good.

Has this ever not been true? Jesus would be ashamed of the next 2000 years. "Crusades? And you did it more than once?" Imagine telling Jesus that 2000 years after he died on the cross for all mans' sins, that thousands of men wearing the same cross would be sexually abusing countless children.

Do you honestly believe power is the biggest deterrent? Not the genocides committed in Christ's name, totalling 178 million people or 1.5% of every human to EVER live? What about the rampant pedophilia in recent decades and attempts to conceal it? Or the large scale rejection of LGBTQ rights?

Fair, and I'll continue to not visit X or buy a Tesla. 👍😊👍

$100k Trump "Swiss" watch (all watch experts have said they clearly are assembled in Switzerland from Chinese made parts) and is made from 14k "gold" which we will only know is real gold if someone buys one and melts it down. 1341 days left... if we survive it.

I wonder if Mar-a-lago is having staffing issues too...

Jesus was never Christian. He was Jewish and he'd be disgusted by what humanity has justified in his name.
178,000,000 people have been killed in the name of Christianity. That's 1.5% of EVERY human who has ever lived. That's 89,000 EVERY year for the last 2000 years.

I saw Kneecap two days later and the crowd chanted "Maggie's in a box" before they hit the stage. As prime minster she was directly responsible 2,500 excess deaths per year because of lost jobs and health services, so with all due respect Osbourne can as the Brits say, "get stuffed".

The former automotive brand of the Nazi party did an outstanding job changing their reputation by appealing to the hippies with Hitler's Beetle. Hopefully, Tesla can follow suit!

I don't know what's worse, that someone with a net worth of $20+ million is asking her supporters to find her son's beer fund or the fact that he will undoubtedly cash in on the suckers willing to do it.

Well, they don't need someone's email address to get a head count.

Don't add your name to any lists, they don't need your email for you to show up. I've heard that some of these websites may be creating lists of dissenters that could be targeted by the GOP down the road.

It's infuriating. I wonder what Mr. Wonderful has to say about it now, probably nothing because he's about to get the biggest tax dodge of his life.
