@skumWgmi Sounds like your dad was good with money but bad at parenting.
English
My boomer dad retired at 62.
Full pension.
Paid off house.
Medicare at 65.
Social security at 67.
Told me at Thanksgiving, I just need to be more disciplined with my money,
I make $71,000.
Rent is $1,900.
I have $4,000 in savings.
I didn't say anything.
I passed the rolls.
But here's what i wanted to say:
Your pension was defunded by lobbyists your generation elected.
Your social security is solvent because mine is still paying in.
Your houseis worth $800,000 because mine costs $600,000.
You didn't build differently.
You just got there first.
English
@MdtShell @ZrimecSteve @Ameen_HGA I agree with that.
But I'm not going to move left just because the right move to bizzaro-world.
English
@DutchBadlands @ZrimecSteve @Ameen_HGA You must be new here. The right/left distinction you lean on would be a lot more persuasive if Conservative principles weren't repeatedly abandoned in favor of power over the last ten years
English
Yall sure don’t say this if you hear of a Christian casting a vote for a Democrat lol.
Esp if it’s black Christians voting for Democrats.
Megan Basham@megbasham
Casting a vote is not a signal of someone’s eternal devotion. It’s just choosing the best available set of policies and personnel. That’s it.
English
@DutchBadlands @Ameen_HGA So just repeating your complete misunderstanding, good work professor
English
@ZrimecSteve @Ameen_HGA I addressed that already. Allow me to quote myself, "The problem you have on the left is that we on the right know what underpins your performative morality. You try to trap the right with catchy keywords and fake moral outrage."
English
@DutchBadlands @Ameen_HGA It’s called proximate wisdom or natural revelation and both non/christians have equal access to it, what aren’t you understanding about this basic Protestant doctrine? I’m here to help
English
You're assuming that Christians can look at leftist ideals and find them best. The problem you have on the left is that we on the right know what underpins your performative morality. You try to trap the right with catchy keywords and fake moral outrage. But we're not falling for it.
English
@DutchBadlands @Ameen_HGA But when Christians find non GOP ideals best, Bash’emittes like you impugn faith.
You’re still not getting it
English
@ZrimecSteve @Ameen_HGA Bash'emittes is not only the least creative category ever, your execution of it is painfully pathetic.
English
@ZrimecSteve @Ameen_HGA Right, so conversatives think that conservative ideals are the best. And they reckon you're more likely to find those ideals in the GOP!
So, thanks, Steve. Not sure everyone will notice that you pretended to disagree with me while making my whole point for me.
English
@DutchBadlands @Ameen_HGA No, conservative evangelicals think to vote anything other than GOP is impious but to vote GOP is just doing good proximate work.
It’s a double standard, try to keep up if you can
English
An American showed what his local Krispy Kreme does with unsold donuts at night.
Straight into the trash.
After private equity took over, the price of a dozen climbed to $22.
And instead of selling them cheaper…
They’d rather WASTE the food than lower the profit margin.
English
@RandomHvacGuy Almost failed is a crazy way to say "succeeded"
English
But it didn’t, you fucking hacks.
You guys are so hell-bent on making Donald Trump look like shit that you’re literally fabricating what ifs.
Delete your account.

It's mildly amusing to me that absolutely no one at the #FinalFour cares about the musical act.
English
@xevekiah I love when idiots think they invented marriage. Like all pro -lifers arent also pro marriage
English
if abortion is ILLEGAL, men abandoning their pregnant partners should be ILLEGAL too. if women can't opt out of PREGNANCY, then men shouldn't be able to opt out of FATHERHOOD either!
Kia 🧸ྀི@xevekiah
what unpopular opinion about ABORTION can put you in this position???

@BlakeSNeff I'm torn on this. I support the work of federal immigration authorities, but I also support resisting the federal government.
English
Colorado is requiring all lawyers in the state to swear under penalty of perjury not to collaborate with the federal government in enforcing immigration law.
This is an actual revolt against federal authority and should be treated accordingly.
Ian Speir@IanSpeir
Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law. Please understand: - I do not practice immigration law. - I do not practice criminal law. - Nothing about my civil practice has anything to do with this. And yet because I cannot log into the State's official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc. If I click "Decline," it kicks me out of the system. I must click "Accept" to access the system and continue representing my civil clients -- again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy. I've read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous draconian overreach. I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently. My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don't click "Accept" in order to access the State's e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice. I'm clicking "Accept" under protest.
English
@RandomHvacGuy The hate you can get just for asking this question is, itself, a sort of proof.
English
@BenjaminPDixon Jesus is King - regardless of whether or not her behavior meets your standards .
I would argue that your support of Antifa is equally questionable.
Thank God for grace

I welcome the hate for this, but the whole "Ketanji Brown Jackson is stupid" discourse is itself stupid and also racist. There's literally no evidence from her opinions or questions that she's stupid. It's just people who themselves are ignorant about the law. Being in a one person dissent happens sometimes (see Alito in the WBC case). Or if you want some famous heroic examples, Justice Harlan in Plessy.
Same was true for Thomas, who has faced this "DEI hire" stuff for 35 year. He has a judicial philsophy that I deeply disagree with, but he's brilliantly smart.

STOP PUSHING AUTISM ACCEPTANCE DOWN MY THROAT!
George Richards@GeorgeRichards
All fans coming to the Florida Panthers game tonight against the Boston Bruins get this Autism Acceptance Night towel.

Our moon. The average US citizen in a nutshell.
Frank J. Fleming@IMAO_
Why are we letting a Canadian go to our moon?
English
@TylerLeeConway We didn't stop abortion. True. And tragic. But it was a step. The commies took over American culture incrementally, we may have to take it back similarly. I'll take it as a start.
And I agree. Using a holy week message about Christ being betrayed to fluff Trump is disgusting
English
@DutchBadlands Except abortion rates have virtually been unchanged. I even saw one data point showing a slight increase. That’s why I mention lip service.
All that aside, my original point is even if you say “the alternative is worse” don’t deny the gross stuff now.
English
Evangelicals who voted for this have confused Christian faith and done more damage than they realize.
Say the alternative wasn’t better all you want, but don’t deny the problems here.
Acyn@Acyn
White: You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. You will be victorious in all you put your hand to because God is using you.
English
@TylerLeeConway Yes, but...
there's a difference between choosing the lesser of two evils vs an affirmative statement of alignment.
And, as a result of Trump's presidency, we did see Roe overturned. So... that would be a positive development.
English
@DutchBadlands “Most evangelicals I talk to assumed that there was a better chance under Trump to avoid some of the more heinous developments and perhaps roll back some of the rot.”
I think it tends to follow for them that their faith therefore requires them to choose this option.
