Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Sigh. So much intensity going on around the place.
Sometimes, I really wonder how many on this forum are paying attention. I see no problem with having an opinion, but so much hand-wringing! So many frogs thinking that they know better than DJT, understand better than DJT, and can evaluate and assess things better than DJT.
I get it people don't understand Trumps pick, but instead of the first response being doubts and misgivings and dooming and moaning, and thinking about potential problems with the pick, maybe the first response should be to ask "why?", and then "What it is that DJT sees that I don't understand?"
Jeepers. Between you and me (we know most of the board doesn't read daily, chat, right?), I'm just amazed at how much angst DJT's pick of Vance appears to have generated here.
Personally, when I first saw Trumps Pick, I thought, OK. I trust DJT implicitly. My second thought was, I don't know anything about Vance, but I'm keen to find out how and why DJT chose this guy.
I don't know. Maybe some people just have never had the experience of real unity and solidarity, so they do not understand the power of such a response.
Question, by all means, but question your OWN understanding, or lack thereof, before you question and doubt the man who has carried 1000 times more burden that you ever will in your entire life.
A little humility goes a long way.
agree, if we 'trust the plan' we should be able to observe and not be bothered.
God wins & we're supposed to 'enjoy the show'🐸
Wut? Vance is a Yale college lawyer, married to another Yale college lawyer. That alone warrants suspicion from anyone out here "really paying attention." Of course there is going to be angst- regardless of some of the dumbshit things Vance has said in the past. Don't act surprised that people are giving Vance maximum scrutiny, and expressing their displeasure.
You make a good point. I am, or was, however, amazed. It took me by surprise. That is all.
There SO MUCH at stake, and people have been treading water SO HARD for so long, that emotion has overtaken rationality in many cases. I'm observing so much since 7/13... including the Muppet at Mardi gras phenomenon...got their whole git up on just screamin - so loud they can't hear themselves think. Over the top.
One thing after another, after another has people warn down and tattered. Then the 7/13 thing ...Took people already on the edge of losing it and held them by the neck hairs over the precipice. People are SERIOUSLY polarized with certain ideas, beLIEfs and literally haggard. Everyone needs to take a step back from the edge and find center again.
What, you think 7/13 was the worst thing? That shit is in the rear view dude...the hits are going to keep on coming. I don't mean physical attacks - I mean, these fuckers, the [DS] the entire D party - which has been sacrificed already (not JFK's party) - is done. They're going to do everything they can on the way out to go scorched earth. We still have the impending financial situation looming like a tidal wave in the background while we're distracted by whatever the latest attack on us is...
So get your mind off 7/13 because there's plenty more phuckery headed our way.
While waiting for coffee this morning, it dawned on me - for God knows what reason - Soros. Do you think it's just him like an evil villain, just flitting around shorting this, donating here, influencing politics there BY HIMSELF??? It takes what, 10 employees to run a burger shop? Get real... this ain't James Bond. We're told/fed/lead to believe fairy tales. There's SO MUCH we don't see or understand in an adult capacity. Think about that.
I've said it many times before, strengthen your connection to God. There really is nothing else. You're playing a game here... put things into perspective. We are at war with the factions of evil. Check in with the Supreme Commander more frequently... and chill out. Eternity is a long time and your time here is a gnat fart in comparison...No matter what, it's all gonna work out. You know that right? Remember it.
Remember all the anguish after Trump was fined gazillion dollars and then after he was convicted ? No one even remember how anguished they were then, and how stupid it was then. But they repeat the whole cycle again.
After Q brought us all the way here and imparted us so much wisdom, there is very little we can do with people who keep getting agonised with every chess move. Really, cant do anything. They just have to follow along until things get clear and then say "Oh, that was what it was".
I always been saying that the real VP pick is a precipice inducing event. It will be the first time in centuries that both president and VP would be completely untouchable. Its all about timing, including this pick.
That doesn't mean he is not an excellent choice. I think he is in almost all respects, but he is not the next Trump and so he is not the ultimate choice.
Well put, Bubble. I mean, sometimes.... You can take the anon out of the normie, but you cannot take the normie out of the anon. Sometimes.
We shall see. Time will tell. I think that what might help people most right now is to ask for a bit of heavenly wisdom. Because if Trump picked Vance, then he did it for reasons.
With apologies, I only really noticed this the other day, when you wrote as much.
Right now, at this moment, I feel like, given the timing: the assassination attempt (life vs death), the Repub Convention, the announcement of the pick, that well, it may be a precipice inducing event, but also (I think it makes sense) it may well be a watershed event too.
There's not going back. Trump made his pick. The final pre-election phase is going into super-drive. Things are likely to get extremely bumpy. And, that spiritual pressure is going to be (consciously or unconsciously) felt by many, anons and normie alike.
The devil took his shot. Now I think the hammer falls. That spiritual pressure I think probably finds its expression in the anguish and the freaking out that some of us (and others) are going through.
So you may well be right. Precipice inducing event.... Hmmmm....
I guess all a frog can do is a) tighten the belt b) put on the armor, c) say a prayer, d) check the orders of popcorn, and e) stay loose, cool and ready.
lol
