    You just disgraced dogs. Dogs are loyal and smart, unlike Trump. I would say more like blind loyalty to a pig, but pigs are smart too.

    I'd say Trump's more like an ostrich.
    The ostrich is one of the largest birds in the world with small wings. (Large Trump, small hands). It's also one of the dumbest animals on earth!

    It's capable of running away and even hiding, but when push comes to shove, when they are confronted with a threat and cannot run away or kick at their predators they flop onto the ground with their heads outstretched in front of them. Trump flops and kicks during his tantrums. The ostrich thinks it is invisible to the threat blending in with the sand. Trump might not think he is invisible, but he thinks he's invincible. So, I dub Trump an ostrich, even if he can't run fast like one.

    Their brainwashed voters don't care. And the rest of the population usually doesn't care enough to vote either.

    I didn't really mean dog as in an animal. I'm a dog lover so I wouldn't want to offend dogs in a comparison with Trump. Perhaps I should have used dawg? I meant dog as in "a scumbag of a human being who preys on people". I'm not sure that is an official definition but it is in my dictionary.

    You still have the moderate swing voters that got Biden over the line and the 2 senators from GA elected.

    Roe V Wade is an energizer its all breaking the Dems way now if they just don't actually go out and vote then we deserve what we get.

    Introduced in 2021, the PACT Act sought to expand health care coverage for veterans who were exposed to the smoke emitted from burn pits during their service. Burn pits have been used for decades by the U.S. military as a means of disposing a wide variety of waste. The Post and Courier reports an estimated 3.5 million veterans have been deployed over the last three decades to areas where burn pits were nearby.

    In June, the Senate voted 84-14 in favor of passing the PACT Act, and was sent back to the House to undergo some minor provisions. Before returning to the Senate, the House passed it again, 342-88.

    On Wednesday, 25 Republican Senators, led by Pat Toomey from PA, flipped their votes blocking this bill to provide healthcare to veterans.

    How can that be?

    He has said he was Valedictorian of his high school class.... He also said he graduated from the University of Georgia and was also in the top 1% of his class.

    Video Shows Republicans Fist Bumping After Blocking Veteran Healthcare Bill

    SMH :mad: I get the feeling there saying, oh hell yea, we own those mofo`s. They don't care about the optics...........disgusting, politics at its finest while the the brave vets have to sit back and take it. I love the passion Jon Stewart was while making the rounds to every news service possible, he even went on news max......but of course fox variety show would not let him on......I wonder why :rolleyes:

    Very liberal outlet to be sure but yeah...the GOP is destroying Christianity. At this rate it'll be irrelevant in 100 years in the USA, can't force faith on people, that's just going to make them rebel against it.

    The more draconian fundamentalist crap they pass or have the SCOTUS push through the more the next generation is going to hate it.

    If your religion is so in the right and your god so powerful you shouldn't have to force people to have faith in it.

    Christians are some of the most hypocritical people on this planet

    I used to go to church somewhat regularly up until like 10 years ago…now I hardly ever go

    if I do go to a church, the music better be good, and we better be there for an hour tops



    if I go to a church and they got a choir putting in work like the 4 minute mark and on…pass me the collection plate

    or if they got a good band…also pass me the collection plate

    Religion is the worst thing that has happened to Humanity.

    Most of the cruelist things done to man have been under the guise of religion.

    Evangelical Christianity needs a facelift. Mostly held by corrupt and greasy "insiders" "at the highest levels".

    Consider the Falwell Dynasty and ask yourself if that's an outlier or something all the small-mid size congregations aspire to.

    Shoot, we're still exporting it around the world with Wahabbist fervor.

    We need to move beyond the archaic thinking of made up mythology - Allah is not a prophet, Jesus is not the son of god, Abraham was not talking to god....these are all made up stories to tell children when we were absolutely blind in science and other avenues.

    How many religions have come and gone?

    Roman
    Greek
    Babylonian
    Egyptian
    Mesopotanium
    Taoism
    Confucianism
    Jainism
    Germanic
    Druids
    Gnostic

    So so many - all are now thought of as laughable, which is exactly what Christianity, Islam, Judism are to many now....they are all made up hocus pocus to control the ignorant masses and to raise money as a business.

    And more people have been killed in the name of GOD than any other subject...the sooner we realize that religion is bullshit the sooner we can evolve.
