@0596Simon @redsteeze Maybe it was discussed. But I've seen no evidence beyond speculation that Lucas had ever considered Jar Jar as a pivotal agent in Palpatine's plans. Making him Amadala's proxy casting Naboo's vote for him was more likely just a middle finger to the fans for rejecting Jar Jar.

@RexCorvinus @redsteeze He thought of it. First movie (and 2nd, to a degree) laid the groundwork. Then he backed out. I’m sure of that

Because everything in this movie prior to it and everything in Star Wars movies that came after it suckled. And everyone stood in line for it for 3 hours only to be entertained for 12 minutes, like a roller coaster. I'm still on your side. Star Wars fans are stupid and this is when they should've walked away and said we're done.

@lump_t @RivenMusicPro @JamesBaluarte @TRHLofficial There would be no "new Constitution". It's not a new Constitutional convention (like in 1787). It's merely a way go around the Senate in order to propose amendments to the Constitution for ratification. Hyperventilating about the CoS is ignorant, fear-mongering nonsense.

While you're probably right that 35 states wouldn't openly vote for slavery, one does wonder if some sneaky wording could find its way into that 'new' constitution. For example, something about criminals being sentenced to 'x' years of slavery, which would establish the practice.

Changes I would make during an Article V Convention of States: 1. Cap the Supreme Court at 9. 2. Only Citizens can vote. States can refine further. 3. Term limits 4. Repeal the 16th 5. Repeal the 17th 6. Repeal the 19th (mutes post) 7. Ban congressional stock trading 8. Ban lobbying/pacs 9. Ban foreign money 10. Write the second amendment so that a 2 year old may understand it 11. Ban dual citizens from holding office. 12. No reelection for Congressmen without a balanced budget 13. Abolish the Patriot Act 14. Fire all Bureaucrats 15. President Washington’s cabinet was 5 people: Treasury, State, War, VP, and AG. Cap it there. Abolish everything else 16. No foreign aid while we are in debt 17. Return to the gold standard and subsidize it with other precious metals. 18. National Ron Paul Day of Celebration 19. Single issue bills only. 20. all congressmen who vote in favor of war must send their first born son 21. Abolish the tax code. 21. No pay for Congress during a shutdown. 22. Cut spending by 7% a year 23. Make the Declaration of Independence the Law of the Land. 24. Abolish birthright citizenship 25. Reinstate the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act’s domestic dissemination ban on propaganda. 26. Fix the food— the soil, the GMOs, the dyes, the chemicals. Make food food again 27. Ban communism. 28. Ban transing kids 29. Death penalty for pedophiles 30. Reinstate duels This is just a start. I reserve the right to add to this list.

@lump_t @JamesBaluarte @TRHLofficial That's simply false.

@JamesBaluarte @TRHLofficial "There is no limit to what will be discussed..." Bingo. They could put slavery back on the table, for example.

@JamesBaluarte @TRHLofficial In theory, maybe, but currently this fear is simply wrong. The only CoS that has any chance of happening (now has 20 of 34 states authorizing it) is explicitly restricted to Amendments on: Congressional term limits, limiting Federal reach, & restricting Federal spending.

That's why an "Article V Convention of States" is a bad idea - there is no limit to what will be discussed and approved during such a convention (most of your proposed "changes" are done at the state level according to the Constitution). Ultimately, it is our ongoing disobedience to the Constitution - not the Constitution itself - that needs to change.

Look, the Chinese mail order test tube baby manufactured on a territorial island is just as American as you or me. Heck, just as American as George Washington!

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 Glad we've got you here to set everyone straight.

my response remains the same. UCC has nothing to do with the reformation in time, doctrine, or identity. Ergo, while it may officially be classified as protestant, im not gonna consider it such and will continue to push for a split between historical protestant churches and evangelical churches.

Let’s check in on the Protestants…

@RookToPawn @orsonscottcard No one had to go looking for Iran. It's increasingly been a problem since Carter. If Iran wasn't a known threat for decades, why did W put them in the Axis of Evil? Or Obama try to buy them off, straight cash? They were a threat that had to be dealt with but no one wanted to.

@orsonscottcard Heavily disagree with you on this one Orson. Washington said don't go abroud looking for monsters to destroy. We did just that, and created the monsters ourselves. Much as I love your work, I don't want to see it proven prophetic.

“Will Trump prevail in Iran or will this war be his downfall?” It could easily be both. Iran has been at war with the United States and all its neighbors since 1979. It has spawned murders and atrocities and its fanatical leadership has sought — and found — means of overwhelming the defenses of other nations. Not just nukes, but icbms and drones, which it aims at military and nonmilitary targets indiscriminately. The only way to find out a threat was imminent is to suffer the consequences of not acting preemptively. Somebody had to neutralize the Iranian threat, and the only nation with the power to do it is the US, and the only leader with the wisdom and the spine to do it is Trump. If Trump succeeds, his fanatical enemies in the US, who support causes every bit as insane as Iran's, will claim that the destruction of Iran's evil government was not “necessary,” because, see? They didn't have nukes. So just as the leaders of France and the UK would have been ousted if they had crushed Hitler back when it could have been done almost bloodlessly, and completely legally under the terms of the Versailles treaty, Trump will never be able to prove what “would have happened,” and his enemies, who have proven their contempt for law and their desire to create a permanent one-party state, will probably succeed in their aims. They will control the history-writing — they already control most of the press and universities — and so the fact that Trump preemptively saved the world from an evil warmongering state will be flipped on its head, and HE will be declared the evil warmonger. But if the attempt to suppress Iran fails, which will probably be the case if Trump does not deploy troops to break the back of the Iranian regime on the ground, the consequences will be so dire that again, Trump will be blamed for having “provoked” Iran with a “needless” war. So unless the American electorate behaves with unexpected wisdom, this attack is probably the most necessary and self-destructive act of Trump's administration. Necessary, because the fools who governed us from 2009-2017 and 2021-2025 did nothing but appease Iran's tyrants and enable them to oppress their own population while causing or abetting the worst state and nonstate actors in the world. Trump's successors, even if they have the will, will not have the power to destroy America's worst antagonists. The moment of possibility is now, Trump has taken it, and no matter how it turns out, it will be the weapon his fanatical, anti-democratic enemies use to destroy him.

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 Fair enough on that one point. But still no response to you being way off base blaming "Evangelicals" for blasphemies spewed from behind the pulpit of a Mainline Protestant church? Particularly when I bet I can easily find matching examples throughout W. Europe & Canada.

@RexCorvinus @SecretFire79 was meant to be a very playful whip over ur mistake of saying LCMS is my tribe, not a robotic ask.

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 I agree

@RexCorvinus @SecretFire79 whatever the anglicans are up to, they got one big uphill battle to fight

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 LMAO at putting the RC, Lutherans, Dutch Reform, and EOC all in the same basket for the Eucharist. Real presence, sure, as long as we use as broad and generic a definition for it. Lutherans/Dutch Reformed do NOT agree with the RCC that Transubstantiation is happening 😄

Presbyterian holds to real presence, Anglicanism (typically) holds to real presence, Dutch reformed holds to real presence, yes also Lutherans hold to real presence, oriental, eastern orthodoxy, RC. One could argue the reformed view isnt real presence at all but they view it as such

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 Did I say "you had to give me credit"? No. You can do whatever you please, mate. If you want to marinate in wrongness, I sure can't stop you.

@RexCorvinus @SecretFire79 i gotta give u the credit right, mr raven king?

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 Oh. OOOOHHHHH. You're in Canada. Elbows up, champ. 🙄

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 Lutheran, tho? Because it was the German church that seeded all the heretical & pagan crap that infects half of the Lutheran church here in the USA during WWII. Or is there some other denomination that holds to Real Presence?

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 I said that the Congregationalist churches movement (the UCC is part of it) has its start in the 16th century. It does. I said that Evangelicalism wasn't a coherent (thus recognizable) movement for at least 100 years after that. That's true also. You good, bro? Can you read ok?

"The modern evangelical movement is generally dated to around 1738" "The General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches, Evangelical and Reformed Church, and the Afro-Christian Convention,[6] united on June 25, 1957, to form the UCC" Yea nearly almost got it kinda right... not rlly but ill commend the effort

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 By that logic, LCMS isn't part of the Reformation, either. Pretty sure the mid-19th century isn't the 16th century.

@RexCorvinus @SecretFire79 yea the famous 1957 protestant reformation

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 Which is YOUR TRIBE within the Lutheran branch of Christianity. Consider the possibility that I understand more than you give me credit for, Mr Real Presence. 🙄

@RexCorvinus @SecretFire79 But it wouldnt have been an LCMS church ^-^

@Real_Presence_ @SecretFire79 UCC is the child of the Congregationalist branch of churches, which started back in the 16th century. It predates the rise of Evangelicalism as a coherent movement by at least a century.
