There’s a reason Goodwin’s law is a thing because calling your opponents Nazi’s is simply the same sort of smear you condemn when used against you, hypocrite.
        If one wants to find correlation, they can be found. That is why we see a face in almost any pattern we look at.

        I guess you'll be ranting about this for a while now. I'll bet that one post will be enough to fuel your rage at least another month, even if all my posts are perfectly respectful in all ways across that entire period.

          wow -three in a row.

          I did like tossing a rock into a red ant's nest and watching them all come out to fight the 'intruder'. I guess I haven't completely rid myself of that particular vice.

              And I like watching you play the victim card, while being a total hypocrite. Must be great to be above the rules you expect everyone else to follow.

                Your psychology projection is so funny to watch. Good job Jim, you are what you hate. A bitter, sad man, that attacks others while pitching a fit when anyone returns the favor. I’m hardly raging about this because I could care less with your TDS makes you think, other than the interesting fact it has turned you into the Jorge of civics.

                      Well prior entering politics, Trump had gone bankrupt 4 times, and then one day he suddenly shows up with hundreds of millions of dollars, buying such things as real estate, and golf courses, with Russian Oligarch money - it's called money laundering. But there are useful idiots who believe he is a savior, enough of them so he can win an election. But the truth will come out, regardless of his scheme to use the Oval office to cover up his crimes.

                      • found an interesting take on CT's article by someone who was anti trump in 2016. Here I agree with Dr. Everret Piper. those Christian's who are attacking the rest of us because we don't believe like they do that the bad outweighs the good should reflect on this article

                          Business 101, companies go bankrupt all the time without their founders going personally bankrupt.
                          Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                            Four bankruptcies out of 500~ businesses - pretty nice batting average if you ask me...

                                I find the continual blasphemy of Trump supporting Christian's, like the majority of people on this website, absolutely giggle inducing, personally.

                                After I heard about the stance of CT and NR I thought they might have found themselves shocked out of their stupor, but unfortunately they seem to keep failing to recognize themselves.

                                Oh well, lol
