  1. Every time I hear Republicans talk about “family values” I think what a bunch of BS. They can’t define it. The ones who talk about it the most are proclaiming to have high morals to cover their affairs so the religious right keeps supporting them. Mostly it’s them proclaiming, I’m better than those dems who don’t support family values, … whatever that is.

    They all want to identify as Christian to be part of the tribe. Unfortunately they are not so interested in modeling their behavior like Christ. That clown needs to go back to school to learn that the nation was founded by people seeking to escape religious persecution.

  3. Whenever a natural disaster like this or hurricanes hit, I wonder to what extent the federal government should be providing money to the impacted people and businesses. I understand the need to provide limited term emergency aide for food and housing. However it also seems that many people expect the government to fund their rebuild when it is their responsibility to have insurance to cover that. The national flood insurance program is underfunded from artificially low premiums. Government and private insurance companies need to adjust their premium rates to reflect the true risk of living in fire, flood or hurricane prone areas as these events are occurring with increasing frequency. If people can’t afford the insurance to live in those locations, then they stay at their own risk or can move to less risky areas. 
     

    For the power company, if they weren’t replacing their poles and weak poles blew down blocking roads and causing fires, then they are liable. Other than that, the problem seemed to be dry grass fuel with strong wind that caused the fire (thought to be extinguished but not so) to race to the community built from wood. Hard to pin that on the power company. Residents warned the government of this danger as a similar fire at a smaller scale occurred several years earlier. It all seems to be a failure in preparedness.

    capitalism a system ‘progressives’ oppose, has spawned the most progress for civilization and there is no close second. 

     Most people would agree with the second part of your statement. However many people want capitalism to work better for people at the bottom of the economic ladder. Hence the popularity of the Rich Men North of Richmond. The Trump tariffs are anti free market capitalism. That doesn’t mean the people wanting change are anti capitalists.

  5. Hopefully the impacted people had good insurance. As large scale disasters multiply as a result of climate change, the insurance industry needs to adjust rates to reflect the true risk and costs of living in risky locations.

  6. This week we also had Mike Huckabee saying that if Trump doesn’t win, bullets will be used in the future instead of ballots. With each suggestion of violence by these right wing idiots, it normalizes the idea inside the heads of lunatics. 
     

    So the “tactics and methods of a dictator” is our legal system filled with Trump appointed judges who end up making decisions against Trump and former Trump associates who testify against him?

    Their Christianity is a ruse.  Tough but true.  They're more tribal than just about anyone.

    Well a recent survey showed that Trumpers believe the orange king more than their family or religious leaders so yea, loyalty to the tribe overrides their religious values. In other words… cult.

    I agree. He’s too old and truly hope he bows out or is forced out. And I think that’s somewhat likely. But if he stays in and trump is his opponent, I don’t see rational people voting for a 4x indicted crook. Especially after his Georgia trial and the evidence against him is televised. I think there are still more rational people than idiots in the country. If not, we’re doomed

    Trump could still win vs Biden, even with his legal issues. Always remember what George Carlin said: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”  I’m also concerned that Biden may have a Mitch McConnell moment or two, maybe in a debate, that could impact voting. Lastly, voter apathy by independents and dems could also result in a Trump win. 
     

    It seems unbelievable that both parties would nominate these two senior citizens again for a rematch given both their issues. Still a long time to go though, so there is still a chance (maybe?) that things could change.

    The king of morality said that if Trump isn’t our next President, bullets will replace ballots.

     

    Does every Trump supporter prefer jail to not sucking off Trump?

     

    And then there's his lovely daughter.

     

    What a great era for America. 

     

    Why is it always these Trumpers, often self proclaimed Christian conservatives, who threaten violence or civil war if they don’t get their orange king back on the throne? Huckabee is a Southern Baptist pastor. He should be ashamed of himself for suggesting bullets will be used to decide elections. Im pretty sure that’s not what Jesus would say.
