And on it goes

Joe said Trump is not well and is a liar

Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses. Too bad!


Send them to the principal's office or make them write on the blackboard "I will not call other people names" 100 times.

responsibilities... which these behavoirs are distracting from

At the risk of sounding North Korean, in defense of our national, sometimes-deified icons, I have no problem with censorship, in and of itself.

I think, response fatigue, the jamming of useful channels and useful venues, the damage of morale, with no constructive or socially-redeeming purpose, is properly an example of terrorism.

I have found, in common household accidents, we were unable to read safety information for a consumer product, in spite of millions of online search results. This kind of speech discourages people from supporting the economy, and doing constructive chores, in the light of day. That's a 5th column -- sabotage, against the country.

I am not a rote conformist, in most respects, but see the infrastructure, including channels of communication, as being valid and having a right to exist, unmolested and unvandalized. Imaginary scandals taking the place of needful citizenship is an example of vandalism.

Turning the other cheek would be more than just the Christian thing for Trump to do. It would make good public relations sense, as well.

When Trump had been asked his favorite Bible verse, he answered: "An eye for an eye."
That alone demonstrates how his cheek isn't ever going to turn.

The Bible used earthy metaphors, because common, everyday people were supposed to have objectivity.

Even nihilists :wink: , absolute atheists :wink: , and infiltrators in the church :wink: , need some degree of social utilitarianism, in order to function.

Tell that to the 62% of Americans who believe in the literal meaning of the bible. Fundies under the bed...almost as common as jihadists
