While I appreciate Bernie and AOC stumping already for 2028, there may not be a country left that long from now. There may be a kingdom or duchy, but not a democratically functioning country. Can somebody do something NOW so there is an actual country in 2028? Thanks.

I think it's abusive to tell children they were born defective (with a sinful nature) and that they will remain damaged goods until they die. youtu.be/uPOm77hBAcE

How can you tell the difference between a prophet (good) and a witch (bad)? Watch and see. youtu.be/vuDcL4-PFK8

If the schoolyard bully doesn’t have to follow the rules (Constitution), I would gander to say that we the people also are no longer bound by the Constitution, either.

Can someone please stop the schoolyard bully? He does what ever he wants and faces no consequences. If he doesn’t like what the judge says, he ignores it all. Basically, he’s flipping Congress the bird. It’s too much work to do things legally, so, he just writes an executive order, 'cuz F Congres.

Martial Law. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them. It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for. 🧵…

Christianty seems to be different now than it wsa 50 years ago. The definitions and behaviors have changed, almost beyond recognition. I wonder if God would be willing to try a second time, a girl in Arkansas, or Ohio, and may be get her consent this time. Think He'd do it?

I've never heard of a first-world country selling it's passports/citizenships at any price. I've heard of third-world countries like Belize or maybe Nauru (don't quote me on that) selling citizenships. Trump is hell-bent on making the US third-world.

Elon Nazsk could give each American citizen one million dollars and still be a billionaire. It's not a illegal immigrants, or welfare queens, or anyone else. It's millionaire's and billionaires who refuse ot pay their honest and fair share of taxes.

USAid was created to keep Russia from buying the loyalty of smaller countries, poorer countries. If it's gone, Russia has nothing to block it way to influencing much of the world, and it see no wrong it that.

Darren J. Beatie posted on TW that it was no biggie to let China romp over and take Taiwan. "It's not worth defending." Excuse me. I don't want the communist party coming here. I live here. I don't have a home to go home to in the US. Come pry my home from my cold dead fingers.

It is my sincerest wish that all 208 nations on Earth will refuse landing priveleges to the deprtation flights. I'm certain they contravene international human rights.

Yep!

right on!

How do you weigh a millennial? In Instagrams.

People gave insurance agencies money in good faith that if disaster happened, God forbid, there would be insurance money to cover costs. It's completely unethical to pull out like Sate Farm did. 2/2

I'm ignorant of all the circumstances. But if things in CA are a problem, I'd like to see a class actino lawsuit against State Farm and other insurance agencies that pulled out four months or however long ago. If you're in the business of insurance, then give up some of the money people gave you.1/2

No, James W., I'm not buying your sob story. People with piece-of-crap trailer houses have fire insurance. What home owner cares so little about their property that they can't be bothered to buy the basic insurance plan - fire, accident, etc.!? Change your diaper, you prevaricating sack of poop.

RIP Jimmy Carter. You were a much underappreciated president.

Last wk was rough, haven't been down that rabbit hole (dark) for 25 years, but now I have friends to talk to, I have friendships that may fix the problem at work, and life is good even if tomorrow is cloudy. Love and hugs to all.

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

It's Christmas day in the US. 26th here in Taiwan. I've never had a problem being away from my blood kin at Christmas, but some do. My daughter was here and went back so she could be closer to her mother. Hugs to those who are missing being with family.

According to the news, Prz. Musk is "concerned" that McKinzie Scott is donating huge sums to charity. I find it quite concerning that Elon hates the working class and poor so much.

Marry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hannukkah, Happy Kwaanza ... Bah Humbug. Happy whatever holiday you celebrate, and if you don't, have a most wonderful day anyway.

Just read Honda and Nissan are maybe going to merge. Crap! If everything we need has to be purchased from monopolies, we're done for.

If someone would take it upon themselves to distribute seeds, and everyone in suburbia ripped up their lawns to plant gardens, those in urban centers could maybe use city parks ... we could have a peasants revolt. Having food is the big issue, and if we could solve that one, I'd like to see it be.

day late and a dollar short, has shooting up public school and daycares become blase, or is the church beginning to imitate the world?

I'm an American living abroad. I pay 6% local tax. I get universal healthcare at a low cost, good roads, decent infrastructure, public educatino with free lunch for all- a bunch more all for 6%. Why can't the US do that?

I had a first grade classmate's older brother on a stretcher as he caught polio before the vaccine came out. And I remember someone coming to school, lining us up and giving us a vaccine. (That's the round scar on my shoulder). And all these anti-vaxers have never seen the effects of not gtng vaxed.
