I expect that it would be at least as hard to cure you as to cure a flat earther.


harder I would hope

I'm just happy to have been cured of my faith crisis and false beliefs that led to it. I honestly couldn't be more at peace and hopeful of what is to come in the spirit world and beyond. So in a sense Schmo is right. I am happy with my reality right now. The choice to believe and have faith is better than anything modern medicine could ever provide.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Hey Ajax. What do you make of this?

Trump’s family, too, has proven to be a serious expense for the agency. As the Post notes: “Since their father was elected, Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr. have made business trips to overseas locales including Ireland, Scotland, Dubai, Uruguay, and India. In 2017, Eric Trump’s visit to a Trump building under construction in Uruguay cost taxpayers $97,000.” Last September, the Secret Service also put in a bid to buy Jet Skis, so that federal agents could protect the Trump family off the shore of Mar-a-Lago.

I can't stand the thought of using tax dollars to protect those assholes. A couple bullets would be much cheaper and better for the country.

My point is that having faith in the honesty and competence of Donald J. Trump is at least as irrational as insisting despite all evidence that the earth is flat. The record of his numerous lies and shady business dealings all through his life is easily accessible, very well known and not all that controversial.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

You guys confuse dishonesty and incompetence for disagreement of opinion all the time.

You're a socialist. Trump doesn't advance your agenda. That doesn't mean he hasn't been loyal to his base. The fact that you hate him so much means he's doing something right.

This, once again, confirms my suspicion that Ajax and the other turbo-brainlets really don't read much if a post goes beyond a few sentences. There has been ample posts detailing the reasons why Trump, and by extension the GOP, is a problem for a host of reasons. The fact that Ajax simply reduces the discussion to 'you hate him therefore he's right' is so facile, so wrong, and so ignorant that I'm left with no other conclusion that the vast majority of people who hold a core belief or two are literally incapable of reasoned discussion. Their brains literally can't employ logos when mulling over issues, and are so random in their reasoning they're aptly described as 'goldfishing' when flitting from one discussion point to another making it impossible to find an agreeable common ground. In fact, I'm deliberately writing this paragraph so as to preemptively defeat their desire to read and address the point I made a few sentences above. I figure if I keep typing that their hindbrain will immediately concede defeat any desire to actually read for comprehension because once a paragraph goes beyond a few sentences they're likely to immediately, in a best case scenario, skim over it hoping their smooth brains can actually pick out a point, which would then induce an automatic response of just saying something because that's all they really do anyway. Just say stuff. Anyway, I figure if I just repeat myself over and over again my suspicions will be confirmed, but at the same time I'm hoping the discerning reader made it to the point before where I wrote that I'm writing the paragraph to act as a sort of mental fog-inducing phenomenon that typically only the ones I'm talking about experience. If you made it this far I'm sorry for putting you through this, but a man can only take so many repeat performances by people who are more interested in drive-by farting than any sort of discernable discussion.

Do you guys have a flow chart with like 4 things on it or do you use a pinwheel. Inquiring minds must know.

Agrees with socialism—> good congrajulate
Does not agree with socialism —> bad call name

Maybe its just a lack of sample size but that seems to be limits of your thinking. 4 was a bit generous in retrospect.

Why not try off with the name calling and gaslighting and dog piling for a bit. It gets tiresome.

IWTT,

Do you have any insights to share with regard to the topic, or are you just content to do your drive-by thing? Feel free to expand on the topic or not, but until then you're a projectionist and we're just watchin' your crappy film.

Trump is a pathological liar on a scale that is impressive in its endurance and totality. You could, with almost no effort, see a cataloging of lies in his daily comments basically every single day. Thinking this is just confusing "a difference of opinion" reveals how intellectually incurious you are. You don't wanna know.
