Not what Rogan said:

"For the record, this isn't an endorsement. This is me saying that I like RFKjr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence.

"I think we could use more of that in this world.

"I also think Trump raising his fist and saying "fight!" after getting shot is one of the most American ****ing things of all time.

"I'm not the guy to get political information from. If you want that from a comic, go to
@ComicDaveSmith . He actually knows what he's talking about."

The best Crazy Town scenario for Electoral College:

Harris take Rust Belt
Trump takes Sun Belt plus Nebraska CD2
269 Electoral votes each.

Vote shifts from Electoral College to US HOR which picks the next President.
Each state delegation sharing one vote. Wyoming's vote counts as much as California's vote.
26 votes needed to win.

Fact check me but the above method is my recollection.

Nothing wrong with a pastor speaking up on the issues of the day. In fact, if you don't know where they stand on the positions of the day then they're failing as pastors. Saying that things like tampons for kids or abortion are against the word of god is biblically accurate. It's absolutely disgusting the policies those two yahoos support.

Now can you do it without mentioning their names specifically. Sure and I wish Graham had done that. My pastor is undoubtedly disgusted by the things Harris and Walz support but he can condemn those things without mentioning them. That's the way I prefer it. But at the end of the day, if your pastor isn't standing up for the word of god on the moral issues of the day, he shouldn't be in this line of work.

The fascist propaganda machine (aka MSM) has been doing that for at least 30 years, probably longer. I remember in the 1990s they would all use pretty much the exact same phrase to describe specific events with the spin desired by the Party. It was entertaining to see so many "esteemed journalists" act like brainless robots. Rush Limbaugh used to play montages of the media doing this regularly. He made it entertaining by joking about their obvious propaganda technique.

Seems like we've been seeing more Vance than Trump lately for some reason.
Makes sense, actually.

1. Walz was the new shiny object for Democrats, but he was so poorly-vetted that next to him, Vance looks immensely capable and a much better choice; He's got the woman locked up. (sarcasm)

2. Walz knew he never served in combat, yet he played the 'combat veteran' card thinking he could attack Vance that way ... and hoo boy did Vance destroy Walz's cred in quick fashion Walz never said he was a combat veteran. This is straight up a lie.

3. Vance also got a two-for-one shot in on Harris, by walking over to her plane and speaking to the press, all the while reminding them how Harris dodged answering questions I saw his interview on the tarmac. He simply said lies and went unchallenged by the press.

4. Trump's recent stupids fade from the chatter while Vance reminds voters he earned his way up and actually served in combat as a Marine This fact is right.




we don't live in the same reality You are exactly right. Trump demands you believe the election was stolen and J6 was not an insurrection. Every damn republican has bowed to that nonsense. Once you buy a olie of that magnitude you have left the real world.

I have posted negative things about Trump within the past week. Read more. Post less.

You are a die hard NPC who votes for whoever has a D at the end of their name and all is well when they are in charge (quack quack)
What about his "stolen election lie"? quack, quack
Right now I am a yellow dog democrat while the gop goes this weird, crazy stage that is so prevalent since Gingrich. Before Gingrich I could talk to Republicans but now dialogue is impossible.

You quack out dem talking points. You dont criticize the party or the media when they ALL use the exact same verbiage when discussing a dem talking point. The DNC or whomever is in charge sends out talking point cards to the press and like clockwork, they all seem to spend the story, the exact same way using similar or exact verbiage.

Plenty of videos, proving this from back during Trump's first administration all the way to current, including the announcement of Tim walz as VP

You spent part of this thread defending a guy who's been lying about his military service record

I could go on, but you should get the point

I should have posted this as a quote:

When you have people who hate God and want to destroy His people and His Word.... then it IS the Lord's work to get involved in politics.

It used to make sense for a preacher to not get involved, when everyone who was running for office was a Christian who just had disagreements on the best ways to do the Lord's work in office.

Now you have demonic people who want to kill babies, castrate and mutilate children, promote trans insanity, destroy Christianity, promote Islam.... so no.. it is truly EVIL for a Christian to STFU in these days.

The devil would love nothing more than for good Christian people to shut up and do nothing.

As actually practiced? Definitely.

Soviets killing 30+ million people = evil.
Khmer Rouge genocide = evil.
Venezuela under Chavez and Maduro stealing assets, blackmailing everyone, and currently kidnapping political opponents = evil.
Cuba imprisoning their entire nation = evil.
China being the world leader in corporate espionage = evil.

And before you start the European Socialism with sprinkles argument…..

Denmark creating a perpetual property owning elite caste = evil.
Sweden driving 1/4 then existing businesses into oblivion by massive taxes = evil.

So yes, socialism and communism as actually practiced are contrary to the word of God.

Agreed.

Of course I will note your usual lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy who has never criticized a blek "preacher" for being political ... isn't one of the senators from Georgia ostensibly a "reverend?" I am sure you criticized him for being involved in politics. As usual, LWNJ's lack principles.

That's a complex question. When First Baptist in Houston spends more time praising creeps like Patrick than Jesus you have to wonder about the mission.

I guess to be fair it is a double edged sword. Every minister has every right to preach but perhaps it is the style of spoken word. For example on abortion. The church has every right to tell the flock this is evil according to belief. But where they cross the line is pushing political candidates like Patrick to send a message that conflicts with church/state by stating Harris is evil.

Patrick should deliver the message from the legislature, not the church
