Discussing politics and religion

What is Irony :
- When a Liberal wants to conserve and a Conservative wants to take.

- Lincoln was a Republican against Slavery and the Democratic Party was for keeping it.

- There are Democratic Liberals who are against abortion and Republican Conservatives who are for it.

- There are Republican LGBTQ , BLM, and climate change activists and you guessed it, Liberals who are not.

Conclusion: Speculation and Interpretation of information probably falls within the realm of a different type of intelligence, so why not apply flexibility into the equation, while we try to negotiate complex challenges like propaganda.

Well you are wrong about Lincoln. It has been posted many times that in his writings, he said he had no intention to do anything about slavery if elected. And in the Emancipation proclamation, he only targeted the states that had seceded, not the other slave states.

It doesn’t matter, the point is that individual thoughts, today, yesterday, or tomorrow, can never fully predict outcomes. They are to vast, complex, and change on a dime like the weather, depending on circumstances. That’s why I shared the Ironical list of hard to believe stuff, and When we Try to control unpredictability by using judgmental stereotypes, it’s my opinion it’s self serving and not in service of others. If I had to come up with a mission statement for living life, it would sound like this. Seek To perpetually Understand yourself and others, with no expectation it can be done.

We have Red and blue so we can find the bonding white in the middle. Lets Be brave and start the mission.

We’re all gonna end up purple.

We don't want to meet in the middle. We want to follow the Constitution.

How old is that document ? And why do we have amendments ? …. Because there is an inherent need to closely understand it, and Interpret it into our current events, In other words Evolution !

Do you remember the movie ‘ No Time for Old Men ‘ The scene in the gas station where Anton Chigurh ( Sugar / the hit man) flips a coin to decide someone’s fate. How about we just keep the judgmental coin in our pockets and work it out civilly.

If that chart was updated to current dates, that graph would be going completely vertical. Thank you FJB

Look at the dates of the 27 amendments.

There are reasons not to fiddle with something that works. There's no way both sides would agree to create a new amendment anyway.
The only amendment needed is one that would remove a president that refuses to recognize and protect our borders.
The voting to remove a president could only be done by people living in border states.
...except California

Where do I sign?

I said not California, but I meant except for you.

I bet Trump's team is digging for more cases like this. You know there are a lot of them.

New high school grads I have encountered can't even tell time. No way they can read a rule so they can work.

You’re absolutely right! Most of the kids at our boxing club can’t read a damn clock. We have a big one on the wall but they come to me to tell them the time. I’m forcing them to learn it. I won’t tell them the time anymore. I’ll show them and make them learn it. Ridiculous!!!

Is that Margery ? If so I completely understand.

Political art is a form of half messaging and half comedy. It’s An exaggeration, so be careful not to get caught up and trapped into the unintended seriousness of the message.



The scales of Justice are in tact, even though it feels like they are under attack. Trust the process and be kinder to the opposition because you may actually or in this case currently be the opposition. In other words Mentor to others the behavior you would like back. So ! If you feel your freedom of speech is being compromised, you make sure that the other person understands that you are not interested in making them feel the same way.

The scales of justice are not intact.
The Fani Willis case is a perfect example.
She lied about hiring her then boyfriend and paying him twice what she paid others. Lied are proved by cel pings, commonly used in criminal cases. The judge did nothing to her, just took the boyfriend off the payroll. Wade's attorney lied...
...I guess there are no penalties for lying.
If I was Merik Garland, I would have ordered a seat team and the FBI to her house at 4AM and had them search the house for large piles of cash...... Yup, that's what I would have done.
Sleepy Joe wasn't allowed to have all those documents and the dude from the justice department even said so. He also said they wouldn't recommend charges .....because of his mental abilities. He acknowledged that charges were warranted, that Joe had these "illegally"
He said he didn't know they were there, jet he's writing a book and showed some stuff to his ghost writer..... so Joe obviously lied.
A judge on Trump's appeal even brought up the fact that Joe had classified documents and wasn't charged, yet Trump was charged.
That gives me a small ray of hope....
Put em both in jail or neither of them in jail.
The January 6th committee hid evidence and video that has recently become available after a year long fight by a subcommittee.
Illegal aliens are being hidden from ICE.
They are ushered into the country like cattle by border agents, not the immigration system.
Justice, ....we don't need no stinkin' justice. ............said every Democrat house and Senate member.

I understand but I was talking about the bigger picture, The Supreme Court, not the corruptible minions. We have no hope there and never expect to fully get it. Even the big guys and girls can’t please everyone all of the time, but that’s because we are inherently that way. That’s why from childhood till death we as a society need to mentor the good, and be understanding of the bad, so that the percentages of good increases and the opportunity for the bad, through understanding, get a second, third and infinite amount of chances to improve, even if that means behind bars, we must give them the opportunity to choose goodness over badness.
