Re: And the Impotence Came Crashing In

The threat hasn't completely disappeared. He who controls the launch codes, controls the election. If he really wants to stay in power, he can stay in power as long as he likes; or at least until we are forced to undermine the constitution for the greater good.

Re: Is Something "Amiss" at "Mormon Interpreter"?

"Whereas we’ve occasionally published two or even three articles per week and have never failed, since August 2012...our productivity has plummeted ..."

Re: Trying to Understand

Among my group include some high intelligence levels and job competency, but I would say otherwise, education is minimal. In particular, none have backgrounds in any of these: Poli-sci, history, philosophy, economics, humanities. I think a strong command of any of these subjects would make avid Trum...

Re: Is Something "Amiss" at "Mormon Interpreter"?

Great points, Doctors Moore and Scratch. It's been a bore-fest for sure. The main controversy is now over Covid, which might be good for the main stay at SeN since it's the one topic that they're sometimes right about. It must be refreshing and empowering for them to respond to their anti-mask criti...

Re: Trying to Understand

Schmo, Question for you. How many right-wing friends have you had during the last four years, and how do they stack up against the picture you've painted of Trump supporters in this thread? I have 2 over-the-top Trump supporter friends who are nearly like family, so long as I never say anything abou...

Re: Trying to Understand

Yep, Philo. A few years ago I moved from a deep blue state to a battleground state. I think of myself as more of an outsider to the system than a participant. I don't consider myself a liberal. This was the first time I've ever voted, and it was a nice feeling to think that this one all came down to...

Re: CNN calls for Biden

Was there some foot-shooting going on with all the "watch the polls" nonsense? The president and all of his supporters know they are lying, and are in agreement on the lie, that there is election fraud (aside from their own). Overseeing "fraud" became an obsession with the Right. But how does that h...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism

Ajax doesn't know what socialism is. A couple weeks ago he equated his high energy bill with socialism. He sees his sole energy provider as ripping him off, and calls for market competition to lower his prices. He doesn't know (and don't tell him, I smiled condescendingly behind my monitor and let h...

Re: Is Something "Amiss" at "Mormon Interpreter"?

On the one hand, what, the book he tried to sell the copyright to he didn't quote from much? On the other: Had Joseph taught frequently from the Book of Mormon, rest assured that tidbit would be trumpeted by Mopologists as evidence he found the record precious, divine, correct, and most of all, that...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism

We couldn't have done it without the support of our Latin American brethren. It turns out many of these people don't particularly like socialism and for good reason. It's a lesson that seems particularly fresh on the minds of Cubanos and Venezolanos. Most believe in God, self reliance, private prop...
