I asked a 'friend' why he hates Trump. He said because he lies. I asked for an example other than 'sex' stuff and he didn't have one. He gets his news from MSNBC, and CNN. He was excited to get his 'vaccine' for him and his wife. He has med issues with autoimmune disease (polymyalgia rheumatica) so I suspect he will develop further problems with the fake vaccine which is really experimental gene therapy.
Your friend hates Trump because it's popular to hate Trump. The very vast majoirty of people that cannot adequately explain why they hate Trump are simply conforming due to our inherent nature to be tribal. They think they're rebels but they are in fact, retards that generally appeal to emotion over reason.
That's what seperates us from them... We know truth is paramount no matter how it makes us feel.
Biggest irony: they traded a man they hated for lying (who rarely lied), for a man they uphold as the pinnacle of truth and honesty who lies all the time. Top Clown World
Yeah when you really pin them down for an answer, no one really has. good answer as to why they hate Trump.
It is sad to see so many people rushing to take the experimental bio agent that is not FDA approved. One of my close friends took 2 shots recently. I sincerely hope that there are forces behind the scenes that are working to cleanup the vaccine of the real nasty stuff. He described the feeling as feeling like a zombie for a whole day after each shot.
Deuteronomy 30 KJV
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
I will admit to struggling with the first two myself.
the bible answers the first two
Of course! One is based on faith (sort of -- a lot of work to sort out all the info) & the second is, imho, like a pact with your higher power.
Struggling with first two is a healthy part of maturing as an adult.
Lots of folks struggle with the first two- I would say everyone at some point in their life.
for folks that do not know their bible, yes
I know the bible very well and believe it's a book of fairy tales. Jesus is pretty much a carbon copy of Sumerian gods before him.
I would agree and argue at the same time. Even knowing the Bible requires an element of faith and among Christians, there is disagreement abt how man came to be.
But certainly, the Bible is the best tool ever written for guiding one's life.
I've been trying for 4 years for ANY Democrat to provide an actual, legitimate, reason for their hatred of President Trump, and they ALWAYS flee the conversation!
The best one one my friends could come up with "He is bossy and I hate bossy people"
Hi, I am a registered Democrat, and personally I disagree with a lot of Trump's policies.
I think his foreign policy approach was dangerous and places the lives of Americans in danger. I think war with Iran would be disastrous, unwinnable, and lose too many lives, and so I oppose his aggressive actions there. I think he has weakened our alliances through unilateral action and a rejection of international agreements. I think this makes a withdrawel from these international groups makes conflict more likely, and prevents cooperation (although, I will give him credit, I did really like Trump's strike on Assad's airforce base in 2017). Having multiple childhood friends in the military, I worry about their safety if we were to enter a war with Iran, and I was particularly worried after the airstrike on Soleimani.
I dislike his opposition to changes needed to fight climate change. For me, this is perhaps my biggest issue. I would literally let a candidate slap me once a day if it meant we could achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 (and maybe once a week if it was 2040).
I oppose his tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, and his cutting of funding to programs to help the poorest Americans (such as foodstamps). I dislike his changes to allow LGBT people to be denied medical coverage, and a general undermining of LGBT rights. I dislike that he has tried to remove Obamacare, a program my niece depends upon to live, without a clear alternative suggested.
I dislike his immigration policy. I had a Syrian friend who had to go home for a family emergency, and not being sure if she would ever be allowed back in the country was really devestating. I have friends from Somalia, Iran, and Iraq who all were seriously affected by his "Muslim Ban". I personally am an immigrant, and I support a more accepting immigrantion policy (which also I believe will help grow the economy), so his restrictions on visas, and the reduction in refugee programs I strongly oppose.
I opposed his crackdown on BLM protests. Seeing the footage of excessive police brutality during the protests really made me angry, and hearing stories of friends being tear gassed while they were peaceful, and everyone around them was as well further angered me. Also, I do think his whole approach inflammed the situation (I have done some studying of riot control and crowd psychology, and the confrontational approach Trump took is far more likely to make protests become violent).
The one policy that Trump campaigned on that I was a big fan of was his $1 Trillion plan for infastructure, but it frustrates me that this never happened (I could go on for further Trump policies I dislike, but I think you get the gist of it. I am happy to elaborate more if you want, though).
Still though, I don't hate Trump supporters. I think generally there is a lot we have in common, and we often have the same issues (increasing power of corporations, low quality of life for the working class, disappearing of the middle class, opioid epidemic). There is a lot I really dislike about the Democrats too, but I personally think they are still better than Trump on these issues.
Anyway, happy to answer any further questions you have!
Yay! I finally got a Democrat to respond!
President Trump's foreign policy is a danger to the "military-industrial complex", but not to America. Letting Iran develop full nuclear weapon capability will be the greatest threat to the world since the fall of the Soviet Union. Climate change discussed below. Tax cuts are always good, if reductions in Federal spending, or increases in tax revenue resulting from those cuts (yes, tax cuts can increase tax "revenue", as strange as it may seem) occurs. I don't know the balance in regard to Trump's tax cuts, so I can argue one way or another on that. The "open door" immigration policies of Democrats is a guaranteed disaster for the U.S. You can always find some sob story to make it seem like any policy is heartless, but regulated, legal, immigration is the only way to ensure immigration is a benefit to our country. From what I saw, there wasn't a crackdown on BLM protests. There should have been a MASSIVE crackdown on the BLM riots! Businesses burnt to the ground, people killed, and the media and Democrats just stood by and applauded. A truly shameful period of U.S. history, largely backed by people who have no interest in the welfare of the U.S. I really seems obvious that you are a product of leftist media. Get out while you can!
Thanks! I will give that a look. I love watching these kinds of videos, just to see what the arguments are on the other side, if nothing else.
I think I learned about Climate Change in a really good way in High School. We watched an anti-Climate Change movie (The Great Global Warming Swindle), and wrote down every single claim it made. Then, we had to look up every claim and interviewee in the show, and checked if they were backed up by evidence. To me, this demonstrated how much the anti-Climate Change movement twisted the facts and straight up lied. Only after doing this did we actually learn properly about climate change, and I have been keeping up with most major reports on it since, and following a few climate scientists on youtube and such. I think because of this, I find these kinds of videos unpersuasive, as I know the counterarguments, and the studies that disprove them.
I think I am also really suspicious of any claims of there being a NWO, as some random person nearby my school made a video accusing it of being a NWO training camp where they secretly conducted illuminati rituals on the students. We all found it hilarious, but also, made me think these kind of theories were pretty bogus.
Anyway, if you have any other good channels to watch for Q related content or anything else, I would love to know them! I find them very entertaining!
Thanks again for being so friendly!
As a PhD scientist who has been studying "climate change" for the past 40 years, I can guarantee that it is 90% politics, and 10% science. Why do you think they changed from claiming "man-made global warming", to "man-made climate change", and now, just "climate change"? It's because the data on global temperature didn't fit the narrative. The foundation of "man-made climate change" is that man-made global warming is a cause of climate change. You have to have an increase in the rate of global warming above the rate that has been occurring for the past few thousand years, that can be attributed to man's activities, in order to claim that man's activities are causing climate change. Well, the Earth has not been significantly warming at a faster rate during the past 50 years or so than the historical rate of warming. The biggest indicator that there has not been an increase in the rate of warming is the fact that the rate of global sea level rise has not significantly increased in the past 50 years. I believe it's probably safe to say you are under 40 years of age, and have been bombarded by leftist propaganda your entire life. I invite you, as another poster has, to look beyond what CNN, NYT, and a whole host of leftist media outlets tell you, and what leftist "scientists" tell them. A good place to start, in regard to "climate change" is the notrickszone website.
So, unless I am mistaken, I thought that it was Republican political advisor Frank Luntz that really pushed for the shift to using the term "climate change" in public discourse, as he viewed it as a less scary term. In the scientific community, I think it has been a really common term throughout (to the point that the IPCC, founded in 1988, has "Climate Change in its title), as Global Warming and Climate Change refer to similar, but distinct phenomenon.
I also do not know which studies you are referring to when you say that the temperature is not increasing nor is sea level rising. NOAA data shows sea levels are currently increasing at a rate of 1/8th an inch a year (2.6 inches between 1993 and 2014). Similarly, compliations of data from thousands of weather stations by NOAA has shown an increase since 1981 of 0.18 degrees Celsius per decade. This has been accelerating from a much slower pace in the first half of the twentieth century, and is dramatically faster increase than past warming events (I had a long section here I cut out about why this must be anthropegenic due to Stratospheric Cooling, Milankovich Cycles, and the rate of Carbon-14 isotopes, but cut it out for ease of reading. I can elaborate on that, if you want, though).
Thanks for the website link, though, I had a peek at it, and it has a ton of really interesting studies I want to read more in depth, so sorry if I am not able to give a full response right now. Despite the number of studies though, it appears like there is a high degree of data manipulation. He focuses incredibly on median January temperatures in Europe, which we would expect to be decreasing, due to Artic Warming (which is especially strong during the winter) weakening the Jet Stream. Seems odd that he only focuses on January, though, and not the whole year, which is showing a clear warming trend, increasing 1.7 degrees Celsius over the last century.
I have also noticed he cuts a few lines from the studies to support his view, even if the study ultimately argues that for anthropegenic climate change (like, he does this on a study about Scandinavian tree rings, and another on North Atlantic dipole). Considering these were the first two studies I clicked, I am not optimistic about the accuracy of his summaries on the rest.
But yeah, I am 21, so fully indoctrinated lol. Most alternative media I find, especially on the right, pulls the aforementioned tricks of data manipulation, so I find it really hard to trust them.
Anyway, I am sure you are super busy, so do you want to continue this discussion in a few days after I read through the website more thoroughly? No worries if not, as I am sure you have more interesting things to do than argue with leftists online (I am just using this as an excuse to procrastinate on my dissertation lol).
You must not have clearly read what I wrote. I referred to an increase in the rate of global warming, above what has been occurring. The same for global sea level rise. The period of Earth's history we are in, the Holocene epoch, has been associated with a general warming of the Earth, and associated sea level rise, since the time of the last glaciation (~20,000 years ago until now). There are fluctuations up and down along the way. The levels of change occurring now are within the ranges of those fluctuations. Data collected during the past 100+ years from a global network of tide gages does not support the theory of man-made global warming.
When you say "he" has manipulated data, I don't know who the "he" is. The notrickszone website is mostly a collection of links to studies by people from all over the globe, so there is no "he" that I know of.
As far as Frank Luntz goes, the MSM likes to call him a "Republican pollster", but he is a "never Trumper", and is certainly not a conservative Republican. Conservative Republicans are the only decent Republicans, because the RINOs and globalists within the party only care about personal wealth and power, and not about our country.
Glad you are open to discussion. Most Democrats just run :)
Thanks! I'll give that a watch later (have gotten lots of video recommendations from this post).
I just saw the first bit, and I have to say, I am not a fan of Davos either. They talk a lot about climate change and equality, but this is often more rhetoric than action. Their dogmatic adherence to Neoliberal Capitalism to solve their actions severely limits their effectiveness. Usually they just come up with a few arbitrary and vague goals, without any true plan to achieve them.
Seriously, how are you going to solve worldwide economic inequality without tax increases on the ultrawealthy? Yet, Davos refuses to discuss this...
I wish Davos was anywhere near as radical of a group that it is depicted as.
P.S.: This is a really common view among leftists. The truth is, we hate organizations such as Davos, the IMF, and especially George Soros. I find it funny when it is suggested that Antifa is working with them, as the ideologies are mutually incompatible. If you look at leftist media (not liberal media), you find lots of hate towards them.
Why is income inequality a bad thing? If someone works harder than someone else, shouldn't they be paid more? Most income envy is due to the media. Without the media telling people they need to buy this and that, or they don't measure up without having this or that, people would be satisfied with all that is ever necessary, food, water, and shelter. The only time income inequality is truly a significant thing is when tyrants are in control. The modern Democratic party of the U.S. is trying to push our country into tyrannical rule. How can anyone support that?
Nice! I gave it a watch! It is obvious you put a lot of work in finding these clips. To me, this sounds pretty great. I am fully in support of more international cooperation (which they seem to be describing).
My issue with a lot of these politicians is that they say this sort of rhetoric, and then don't follow through. I would love to see the US have more of an internationally minded outlook. The number of basic international agreements that the US is not part of (like landmines, cluster munitions, Convention on the Rights of the Child, International Criminal Court, etc.) is truly shameful.
Anyway, if this is the NWO that you are referring to, I am excited to join!
You forgot the most important
WHAT KIND OF PEE PEE DO I HAVE AND HOW DO I MAKE OTHER PEOPLE CALL ME WHAT I'M NOT
That is really the outcome of the first 2. When you dont have a sense of identity as you grow up, you tend to try and find something special or unique to make it your identity that makes you feel special. Some people might take up hobbies. Some people will aim for high achievements. Some go in the service of others. Some put tattoos and pretend to be bad ass. Some use their gender / sexual identity to make themselves feel special. Marxists have perfected the methods to exploit the last group.
Answers:
Literally (for the smart alecks), my parents, Minniapolis.
Literals: to be an example to others.
May I be bold enough to make a prediction that you may not be a leftist ?
Wise man. Maybe this is more of what I wish they would say? ?
First and second, they have to find their own way to it. They can when they stop hating themselves.
Third only requires an open mind.
Truth. ✌
