Low-quality-information zendi who also doubles as our resident January 6th gas lighter will start calling this guy a Rino, whatever the nonsense that is.

zendi says the Criminal trump's insurrectionists were just taking a stroll through the capitol, admiring the building walls and greeting congressmen and Senators.

While Criminal trump says criminals need to be pardoned and basilico loco is so down with it.

Shameless ghouls.

Digging their dumb grave.

The man in Aso Rock would get no less than 20 if you asked me, but still, evidence, please.

Isn't he meant to be being impeached? What happened there?

Which influence was he selling? Influence of a US VP office?

Should Tinubus son be negotiating with foreign govt and business on the promise to get his dad presidential approval

Though I haven't seen you provide evidence of "promise to get his dad presidential approval", as if he could see into the future at the time, are Tinubu's sons and daughters and distant family and lots in Iragbiji not selling influence of a Nigerian President's office?

I even think influence peddling is a loaded term. I'm not sure that's what he was doing.

The overloading was intentional, even if Hunter was peddling influence. He would after all have known some were paying for his name and it's perceptible door opening powers, and why not. It's not like he peddled it for a $2b hedge fund of which I hardly have complained.

Fact is, if maga don't like they should not vote for Hunter.

In Big Law, Finance, Consulting, Lobbying etc. people are paid big money because of the networks they are in and thus the people they can bring in. If I have a great idea and need financing and have a friend who knows a bunch of billionaires, it only helps me. If a partner of my law firm knows a bunch of billionaires who need lawyers, it benefits my law firm. That's one of the benefits of going to top law/business schools. The people you meet. Because they hire these people doesn't mean that they are doing bad things, it just means they have more access to sell their products. And it could be good products.

I'm not saying what Hunter Biden was selling was legit, I don't know. But I am saying, arguing because he was being paid because he was a Biden, misunderstands how networking works.

Also, if the argument that Biden wasn't selling anything tangible so his work was illegal is the new standard. That means a lot of the stuff big consulting firms like Bain, BCG, McKenzie etc. do would be illegal. What do they sell besides ideas? Same with lobbying firms.

'Influence peddling', we call it in Blighty, and some, 'privilege', because of the exclusivity of the institutions one had to belong to, considering some institutions didn't let you in unless your great-great-grandfather was in, but I can understand it in today's supposedly more 'egalitarian' world where brains connected to matter

I'm sure I'd be paid too if I have connections to sell, and I can't see why I shouldn't even paint pictures if find a maga.

Basiloco, show me Joe peddled influence so I can berate him a little.

I have never reported anything of the sort to you, and I strongly object to you bearing false witness against me!

As I told you then, I had 'jw muslim pagan christian rasta pasta atheists druggies buddhists drunks irish dogs cats all sorts' as my neighbours, and they were all the nicest people I have ever known, as are my current neighbours too.

Those with common sense understand that complexity cannot come by chance
Non life cannot produce life

That is not therefore a reason, assuming you are right that "complexity cannot come by chance", which I doubt depending on what is meant by complex and come by and what, all of which require a lot more than just sense that is common to understand; to then claim a God you read about in a book created life, if literally speaking.

That's why many are out there investigating life and it's nature, to better understand rather than just accept godidit. They don't know how life came about so they knock and ask and seek with all their hearts and souls and minds and being so they may learn more.

That said, not everyone learns, I guess, or at least not at the same rate or to the same depth. Some broke their teeth on my book of bible stories, while some broke theirs on the King James Version, so you might understand the difference.

Practically, it tells you that your life, existence is a result blind chance and lacking meaning. Only a insane parent will want his child to think that way

Those who are trained to read would understand that no book "tells" them "life, existence is a result blind chance and lacking meaning".

It fact, learning to read helps children develop their own minds so they can discover their own purpose and give meaning to their own existence on earth, and they'd certainly write and reason better than those who grew up on "my book of bible stories", and they'd be better behaved too.

I should have, well shorted it, that is. Didn't know the financial statement was coming out today, so didn't expect it to lose so much today already. Well happy at least the Trumpers are losing their shirts. Could have been a nice steak on the MAGA's dime though. Hopefully the MAGA's learn a good lesson in crony capitalism.

Price will up and down within a dwindling range until November when we'd have discovery, if it hasn't imploded by then.

Basically, it's a proxy for dump's election chances. Good polls will meme it up and bad polls will meme it down.

It's the ultimate maga scam.

Is it possible that some can short sell the stock to drive down prices

That's not how it works. You can short sell stock and it's price may rise and you lose money, since it's not you who dictates the market price.

Dump Bible is falling simply because more are selling than buying at current price, likely because they think it would be worth less in future.

And we are watching charts to see who is right.

Go and give your children Darwin book so they'll understand that their existence on earth is actually by accident and meaningless, without hope

I will, thank you. And there's no way they'd read Darwin and "understand the existence on earth is actually by accident and meaningless, without hope", because Darwin did not write that "the existence on earth is actually by accident and meaningless, without hope", which is what those who haven't read Darwin would think especially if they had learnt to read with "my book of bible stories".

I seriously want to take a big step backwards engaging with them. They can't even do any damage to US democracy from this Kobo Kobo forum. Maga cultists like basilico loco and his deranged gang can't even vote in the US. If this makes watching their misery in November the sweetest, I'll hold back a bit.
I'll only come here to taunt them when Criminal trump is on trial and gets convicted.

The good thing is they are like dump in that the more they show themselves the less appealing they become to the reasonable rationally minded.

Maybe you didn't get my point. If it took the Supreime Court to stop the fascists from disqualifying him for the election, it is stupid of the repubs to trust that they will be fair to Trump in the conduct of the the election.

Well, that's what the Supreme Court is there for, and I'm glad they did their job. It's why we fight for democracy you see, so fascists don't get to rule.

This shows how dirty.

What about you? How do you view this book?

I do recall, about 10 years old, someone presenting it as evidence of what they claim was written in the Bible, and I guess that would set me against it. For why read a reduced copy of a book when you can read the full unabridged version.

I've also since found that the basis of the arguments of some are as shallow as this book compared to that of a Bible reader or that of one who has bothered to learn the history of the Bible or of writing itself, and books.

I wonder what we'd have said if Nigeria had been indoctrinated with a condensed version of the Holy Bible, but I guess I dislike the short lazy version of anything since they just program the mind to be lazy.

This is the "Bible" one gives one's kids to program them to be not as smart as the one's given a Holy Bible I think.
