    If you’re that sure of your man, how about upping the ante then, let’s say to $50?
    Don’t worry, I have contributed plenty here and never jiffed anyone. I have you on my excel, so when Orange man is president again, you better pay up or I’ll released that post what we agreed on. I don’t usually bet, but this time, I’m never more sure of anything that Trump will be re-elected again. A little hint for you, it’s called divine intervention. When God is with him, no evil can harm him. Do you think any other ordinary presidents can withstand the coordinated attacks he has been getting for the past 4 years and still standing? His enemies have tried everything, and the latest is anarchy run amok on our streets, and he’s not going anywhere still.

    I haven't been to Texas in nearly 20 years but wouldn't like 75% of the population praise and vote for Trump? It would be kind of impossible to avoid the inevitable.

    Perhaps 75% in rural counties where 75% of homes have the ability to be transported.

    maybe in these small rural towns like Harlingen it’s 75%, but not in a place like Houston or Austin

    Again don't engage with the troll. He is not interested in an honest discussion.

    Are we sure he’s even capable of having one even if he wanted to? It would require having something of substance to say and principles to stand on, but he has none of that like the rest of his little clique as he plays the role of the fake Christian troll

    Don't know, I had assumed it was more recent. May be out of print.

    Wow you’ve really gone off the deep end. Especially thinking that God endorses political candidates..lol..and that if he existed he would choose Donald Trump of all people.

    you’re going to go broke when trump loses. It’s just a stupid bet. The political gambling site I frequent has trump as a 16 point dog; it’s objective. There’s no indication that trump can win this

    I never bet in general and particularly politics. I voted for Trump the first time, but to be honest, I took a chance on him and the fact that Hilary sucked so badly. I hate to bring God in here but the prayer groups that I belong to, we have been praying for Mr Trump since day one. So far, God hears us and his enemies are falling by the waysides. I’m so sure that he will win because our side prays to our God, I know your side does not rely on God. Here is an example of the unshakable belief in God.
    Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury vs Deontae “ChickenLegWindmill” Wilder. Unshakable belief in God starts at min 15:00


    BTW- Happy Birthday Donald J Trump Jr. May God always be with you.

    Democratic Senator Robert Byrd probably made the most out of his change in belief. The usual suspects on this board used to drag his past up regularly for their what-aboutism...

    Robert Byrd showed that people can change

    by David A. Love July 8, 2010

    When Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., was laid to rest in an Arlington cemetery on Tuesday, July 6, his bigoted past was interred with him. In the long span of his life, he demonstrated that people have the power to change and move beyond their hate.

    At age 24, Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan, and he rose to positions of leadership within the white supremacist organization. His rhetoric back then, in the 1940s, was appalling. “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side,” he vowed. “Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

    Like other bigoted Dixiecrat lawmakers, Byrd tried his hardest to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and did so for 14 hours on the Senate floor. And he opposed the 1965 Voting Rights Act (though he favored the 1968 Civil Rights Act).

    Furthermore, the senator from West Virginia opposed the nomination of Thurgood Marshall, the nation’s first black Supreme Court justice. Byrd even went to then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover — who participated in ruining the careers and lives of many black civil rights leaders — to see if Marshall had any ties to communists that could torpedo his nomination.

    And yet, Robert Byrd evolved; he changed for the good. He apologized for his intolerant past and declared that he had been wrong.

    Byrd displayed a mix of conservative and liberal points of view in his later years. Remarkably, though, he came out on the right side of issues that are of concern to black voters.

    Byrd enjoyed a perfect 100 percent rating from the NAACP. And he proposed $10 million to fund a Martin Luther King National Memorial in Washington, D.C.

    On a broad range of issues, he showed great leadership, most notably when he forcefully and eloquently voiced his opposition to President Bush’s war in Iraq.

    Byrd was the longest serving member of Congress in U.S. history. In 2006, he was re-elected for an unprecedented ninth term in office. And he was elected by his colleagues to more leadership positions than any senator ever. With 18,000 votes cast and a career attendance record of 98 percent, he had a proud record of achievement.

    In his early years, Byrd was sick with the disease of racism. But he cured himself.

    Let us bid him a proper farewell.

    I thought about this during the thread, I thought it was interesting at the time.

    An imperial grand wizard from the klan denounced racism and was influenced by a black pastor.
