Predisent Donald J. Skroob: Episode X: Purple Raining to Impeachment

Yabby's sig has aged well.

I had to go look at my profile. I hide sigs and profile pics for the last few years because of how I remote into jump boxes to look at this site. It will be funny to see if it swings the other way this time.

Rick Perry, insane person: "Trump is the chosen one."

https://www.yahoo.com/news/gods-used...131947138.html

Do be fair, he isn't saying Trump is the chosen one like a prophet. Just saying God's plan is in place, and he wouldn't allow someone to be president if it wasn't a part of his plan. Just before he said that he called Obama the same. It's still batshit crazy religious nonsense, used to justify their voting. They can call him that because God uses even bad people to do bad things for the "Greater Good".

jfc dailybeast took 4chan larper seriously, this is hilarious omfg im dying

LMFAO, can't believe they didn't wait for a real news outlet like Breitbart to pick it up first, then use them as the source like smart people. Fucking losers.

9/11 was an inside job lmao

If you two had questions about why it is difficult to engage some conservatives it's because of statements like that.

It's VERY hard to engage anyone saying something you perceive to be utterly ridiculous without the hard temptation to call their school of thought dumb.

If anything that is what complicates politics.

Trump's EPA is proposing to limit the powers states have to enforce the Clean Water Act.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal targets Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, which allows states to set their own conditions, conduct reviews and approve or deny projects that could potentially pollute waterways. The conditions become a part of the federal permit and its requirements.

The change would give federal authorities power to dismiss conditions set by states or tribes and allow the EPA to overrule a state’s denial of a project. It also would prevent states from studying indirect sources of water pollution or potential pollution in seasonal streams, wetlands or any waters that are not designated as “Waters of the United States.”

State regulators would have only a year to decide whether to approve, deny or impose conditions on a project.

The agency argued that the deadline is needed to keep states and other authorities from holding off on projects by seeking more information from developers without issuing a ruling.

“On the one hand, the EPA is telling us that the states need to be able to exercise their own authority to protect clean water,” said Jared Mott, conservation director of the Isaak Walton League. “That’s the argument for limiting federal protections on (Waters of the U.S.). But now they’re weakening the rule that gives states the ability to do exactly that. It’s frustrating.”

I feel like this right here is guartz reasoning and justification for how he interacts with many of us here. Hes utterly convinced those on the left are ruthless and that's why they are losing cultural power even if they still maintain most actual power in government

"Christian Conservatism" is my biggest gripe with the right TBH, I hate it. I feel its holding not just the right back, but society as a whole to grasp so deeply onto outdated religious ideals. If they could drop that religious foundation crap and just use a simple moral compass that any decent human being would use they'd have wider appeal overall especially with the newer generations. They don't have to stop being Christian, but they need too untie religion from politics, they never should have tied together to begin with.

If we had a "like" feature, this post would receive it.

Yesssss sir. I honestly can't put it into words without writing a novel, but religion has literally been the number one thing to prevent the betterment of humankind.

Not to mention the number one cause of wars and murder in history.

I'm just thankful that with each passing generation we're slowly but surely moving away from it.

"An evangelical polling firm asked 16- to 29-year-olds for their top 3 associations with present-day Christianity. “Antigay” was first, with 91%, followed by “judgmental,” 87%, and “hypocritical,” with 85%

This was nice to read at least

I would upvote if I could.

As Barry Goldwater stated "Mark my words if and when these preachers get control of the Republican Party, and they're surely trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem.Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise, but these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with em." Guy wasn't exactly a saint by ANY stretch of the imagination...but even he knew how dangerous the religious right would be if they got hold of the GOP. We now see the end-result of them taking control of the GOP.

He lived in a time when the religious right was a traditional version of crazy instead of a collection of sham Evangelical megachurches.

It is worse now.
