I’m just pointing out something obvious (and most people agree with me looking at the updoots) - sorry, didn’t mean to trigger you.

A good rule: anytime anyone has to explicitly and intentionally convince you “how good you have it,” that means things may not actually be that good.

Do you really think the billionaires aren’t on the side of evil?

The problem is that this gives essentially the rest of the world a reason to cooperate against us - i.e. China can find other suppliers for things that they need due to the vacuum we have created by our tariffs. Similarly, they will find new and expanded markets for their exports due to those markets moving away from American goods.

If you sell pharmaceuticals in the U.S., it doesn’t matter where you facilities are, you will still be subject to the same FDA inspections and audits as if you were in the U.S.

It’s way too simplistic to call all of Islam a “nation” - there are many sects and denominations of Islam (some opposed to one another), and there are many actual sovereign nations with Muslim majority citizenry.

Iran is a Muslim fundamentalist sovereign nation; Saudi Arabia is a Muslim fundamentalist sovereign nation. They both hate each other as mortal enemies and would love to see the other wiped off the face of the earth. They are very different cultures and don’t even speak the same language.

Indonesia, a Muslim nation, is even more dissimilar to either.

You don’t think describing precise details about a military strike (location, weapons, timing, etc.) in advance is classified? There is nothing more classified.

They facilitated the massive importation of drugs like heroine into the country poisoning people. Don’t believe the movies.

Some of the files may contain grand jury information for which it is illegal to release - you would have to review and redact in that case.

Pam Bondi was a state-level prosecutor in Tampa, not Miami. The Epstein case was a federal case in Miami; Bondi had nothing to do with it and wasn’t involved.

China could already hit us with ICBMS and annihilate every major American city and we’d basically don’t have any defense (other than our ability to do the same to them).

It’s the opposite question that’s more important - how do you know what someone said? In the case of quotes, you look to verifiable writings or statements of that person. There’s no evidence he ever said that.

“It could have been worse” isn’t a great standard. Everything can always be worse. A category 3 hurricane is devastating.

It’s because the original poster was claiming that his prayers had someone caused God to “collapse the eye” - which doesn’t make sense. Why didn’t God just dissipate the entire hurricane so no one died? This is major devastation and destruction.

I’m mocking the idea that God was just waiting around for someone to ask him to spare Florida, after which He was going to change His mind. That’s not how prayer or He works.

If a massive hurricane hitting Florida and causing death and massive destruction is prayer “working” I’d hate to see what it looks like when prayer doesn’t work . . .
