Well, clearly, we only let him in the club because he looks white. /s

It's not truth, it's CCP trying to undermind trump. CCP didn't invest in China, they bought a military and used it to try to tie other economies to them that weren't the US, such as South Asia and Africa. He says our 'oligarchs' bought yachts. Theirs bought a military.

They are communist. None of them are "out of poverty" except the well connected at the top. They might have better clothes than they used to, but that's because they just give away things they built that never made it to a destination.

Our dollars funded their bread lines. That's the only reason they "benefited" - not because the CCP is generous and invested in their future.

I'm not sold. If divine love flows, why is there the transaction of belief? The entire Bible follows the transactional model - believe and follow His instruction or be punished and perish. Solomon to David. Judas. Jonah.

It takes me back to an argument we've probably all had in our faith: if I live a good life and abide by the morals of the Book but don't know God or Jesus, am I to perish and have my soul tossed upon the waste of Gehenna? Where is the 'loving God' when He is demanding fealty?

I was taught that Jesus died for our sins, yes, but that He gave it freely to instill in the model He taught us to pattern our lives after: forgive others, turn the other cheek. Be Heaven's representative on earth even knowing that He is the sword and will divide you from your family and property.

That's before being assigned numbers.

My point was that I would much rather discuss how much the government was paying out than the total number of ssns assigned, which is what everyone seems to be using to ignore the real issue.

Social Security NUMBERS don't matter. You are supposed to get one and pay into it if you work here, even if you are semiquasisomewhatsomekindoflegal.

That they are getting FULL benefits, though, while people who worked and then became disabled and didn't have the opportunity to pay in their whole lives get told that they're fucked because they didn't pay in for 55 years and get prorated shavings off of a dollar bill every month.

This article is all over the place, back and forth and back again.

'They are uniting in their hate of Trump and Elon!' gets things backwards. That is, literally, the only thing the left has. It's why they come back to it and their messaging revolves around it. Because Trump is moving so fast, the left got it's teeth into 100 topics a week and everyone could go off about their thing. But now more people are walking away every day because, after two months of being told the sky is falling, the sky hasn't fallen and none of the terrible things they claimed were happening have actually happened.

Despite the firehose of good factoids, this reads like his side of a debate with an unhinged person who is anti-trump and typed out in post argument anger versus a well reasoned and planned article.

Still assumes we are going to run out of oil.

And we have a replacement. Nuclear.

It depends on the AI. If you get an unbiased model, it is very useful to dig information and provide context.

Not everyone has lived through 60 years of history to remember a lot of the things happening now have roots back when Pelosi or Biden took power in the 70s

They have to tell you so their karma is clean.

The power structure, being destabilized, is still trying to lurch it's way to the win. This is the declaration of war as they crush states to keep themselves afloat.

It's lunch time and you are hungry. You walk into the break room and there's a pile of sandwiches that say "free".

Your lunch time was scheduled. The sandwiches were scheduled. Neither was an accident, but it may have happened yesterday or tomorrow.

I just had a key on a keyring.....which I lost. I had to teach myself to pick locks to get in to my house. When we moved out and had to return the keys, I just shrugged about how I got in for like four years.

I'm just glad I didn't lose the key on a snowy day.....

Cop-out. Parents abandoned their children. Generations of latch-key kids who spend all of their time in a social broth, never once dried off and told or shown how the world works.

First it was exile of women from the work place (from women doing most clothing and textile work to men at factories doing it), then children got TV to keep them quiet when women were 'freed' and sent to the factories and offices alongside men, the video games, then cell phones.

Cell phones - and video games, television, and whatever else - aren't to blame. Overworked, overstressed, energy-sapped (and in some cases, just plain lazy) parents are.
