Hamas wanted Kamala Harris to be president, a freed Israeli hostage has claimed. Omer Shem Tov, has said his captors had hoped the Democrat would win the election and credits Donald Trump for helping to secure his freedom. “As soon as Donald Trump was elected, they understood that he wants to bring the hostages back home,” Mr Shem Tov told CNN. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/05/28/hamas-wanted-kamala-harris-president-says-freed-hostage/

What happened to cutting govt. expenses? What did all those Americans lose their jobs for? What was the point of cutting research into kids’ cancer? research into health care for women? Etc? What did your friends and neighbors lose their retirement savings for? When we tell you republicans that you’re dumb, it’s not elitism. It’s based on observable facts. You are lied to that the Republican Party wants to save Americans money yet they all unanimously vote for a bill that increases spending in the trillions. Make it make sense pls. Try to reconcile what they say and what they do if you can. When have they ever in the past 50 years been good for the economy? The answer is NEVER. That’s if you let your common sense lead you instead of these emotions you feel so strongly against other people- that influences you to vote against your wellbeing every single time. Now Elon is trying to distance himself from it. As if he hasn’t succeeded in what he really set out to do. Which is crippling the agencies responsible for putting check and balances on his operations. By 2034 when the deficit has ballooned, another republican will emerge and convince the dimwits that he’s the solution to this problem. A problem that could’ve been avoided if you people had common sense to begin with.

benalvino3:I lose many people. My delight here is I feel your brain is being used, which forces me to use mine too. The slavery of Adam and Eve explains how some humans in God's image enslave and utilise the ignorant made from mud people. And Eve's action shows how to free oneself from that naked ignorant slavery. If the God enslaves people and is pissed off when they free themselves, then how much so some people in South Africa who lost their slaves, and the British when they lost their colony. Even if the freed people had "sufficient capital, technical expertise, and managerial experience" their previous owners who've lost them will do much to ensure they fail. |

The law is an ass. A compelling thread as to how the President has powers to impose tariffs on imports . https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1927890545893924871.html Judicial overreach at its finest. Literally every action ,a judge finds a way to block knowing that eventually the SCOTUS will reverse the block. , the President, whenever he finds as a fact that any existing duties or other import restrictions of the United States or any foreign country are unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States and that the purpose above declared will be promoted— (A) may enter into trade agreements with foreign governments or instrumentalities thereof; and (B) may proclaim such modification of existing duties and other import restrictions, or such additional import restrictions, or such continuance, and for such minimum periods, of existing customs or excise treatment of any article covered by foreign trade agreements, as are required or appropriate to carry out any foreign trade agreement that the President has entered into hereunder." |

I am often amused when humans complain about inflation especially home owners. Would they prefer their major asset to deflate I wonder, but I'm sure I'm just stretching it or the complainers are not. The gradual deflation in house prices began about with covid (my conspiracy mind wants to say before way back when the Fed Rate went zero), and has gone on since even while many were yelling inflation. https://wolfstreet.com/2025/05/26/the-10-big-cities-with-the-biggest-price-declines-of-single-family-homes-from-their-peaks-through-april-7-to-21/ |

budaatum:But God did say, You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die. God's prohibition was protective guidance, not arbitrary control. Like you will tell your child, Don't touch the stove, it will burn you. The moral framework existed, but Adam and Eve chose experiential knowledge over revealed knowledge. But lets see, If humans lack free will, they're not truly moral agents they're just sophisticated puppets If humans have free will, then genuine choice must include the possibility of "wrong" choices (Which God gave them) But if God creates beings capable of choice and then forbids certain choices, that's not really eliminating the choice, it's just adding consequences. You and I know there are consequences to every decision we make. This is not about enslaving Eve and Adam; it is a warning about the consequences of choosing a certain path. The warning isn't control, it is information. But the deeper control lies in creating us with the capacity for choice in the first place. God could have made humans incapable of disobedience like; lets say rocks, but chose not to. You see, sometimes the lack of experience concern comes from people genuinely worried about outcomes rather than trying to maintain control. But let's assume they don't care. A rapid transition without adequate preparation can hurt the very people it's meant to help. rural farmers need functioning supply chains, credit systems, and markets, regardless of who owns the land. As I sourced the other time, 90% of the appropriated farmland failed. they have all the funding and support they need, to the tune of 5 billion. What we're seeing in South Africa is anything but external sabotage. This is your way of excusing their failure and cycling back to the idea that it is the white man's fault. Will you ever allow the space for taking responsibility for the path they choose? If we revert to the eve metaphor once more, it suggests taking the fruit of knowledge regardless of the consequences. But in policy terms, the question now becomes: if you know external forces will try to make you fail, do you have an obligation to sequence reforms in ways that maximize your chances of success? |

People prefer people who more align with their ideological objectives even if they don't agree with their means. Sometimes I wonder if any intellect exists for you. |

benalvino3:Benalvino/Bemeruca- "ChatGPt write me a post on Adam and Eve and give it some gravitas" Everyone's going to struggle with AI and spotting when it's being used. But unfortunately for you the formulaic sentence/paragraph structure of this post is a dead give away. Your not even very good at converting AI into your own words. What's the point of writing forum posts using someone else's words? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 4:25pm On May 29, 2025 |
benalvino3:The so called warning was a warning against a lie, since Adam and Eve never had to bear the consequence of "surely dying on the day they eat thereof". In fact, they so did not have to bear that consequence that the God just threw them out of his garden so they had to bear the consequence of life itself, "eating from the sweat of their own brow". Adam was after all not 130 years old before he became free and bore Seth, after which he lived another 800 years as a free self employed responsible bearing individual. Bem, if you tell a child, "I will beat you if you....", you are not informing that child nor are you educating it. What you are doing is creating a person you want to control, and is similar to earth is fallingnism. benalvino3:I think you place far too much support on funding. I personally do not think all the funding in the entire world would make a difference if those you give it to do not have the knowledge the long term farmers had about climate and storage and what to plant or rear when and where to ship to and sell, etc. Or do you think those you take the land from will hand over that information too? benalvino3:I suggest you go read Genesis 3 again where the consequences of eating the fruit of knowledge is clearly stated. First, the fruit was "good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom", all consequences. And "they realized they were naked", another consequence. "So they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves", thereby going even much further by mitigating some of the consequences of eating the fruit. But I'm certain you meant the supposed punishment the God is written to have imposed on them, so lets look at those. I'll ignore the snake for its comedy. The first, I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children, is just a fact of life. The animals that God never said this to also have childbearing pains. Besides, its not so painful to make most women avoid childbirth considering how many have more than two kids. And the process of making those kids is usually enjoyed, to boot. The second sentence, [i]Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”[/i]apart from it really having been written by male chauvinistic pigs to control women just as God tried to with his "on the day that you eat" lie, men actually do desire women more, and now that womens' eyes are opening more, men are even being ruled by women. As for the man's supposed punishment of "you must work before you eat". I can't see why that shouldn't be desired as government policy, unless you want people to eat without working. I am not blaming external forces for South African blacks being unable to farm land or we Nigerians failing to manage the industries we took over. The facts however are that we did not have the knowledge had by the people we took over from, and therefore were bound to fail. |

cococandy:There isn't any real policy cohesion in the GOP because their goal isn't policy but to win elections using soundbites and political gimmicks. So they go from day to day saying things that are then contradicted by the bills they pass. And their supporters get whiplash trying to defend the the opposite of what they defended yesterday. |

benalvino3:I doubt you would see the flaw in the above, but I'll try. Revealed knowledge is like CNN, Breitbart, MSNBC, Fox News, Wiki, dump, pastor, Imam, Wapo, etc,. Today, they reveal the so called knowledge, but you are suggesting I just believe them and don't use my own senses to experience and gain knowledge. Its like saying, just accept what you are told and don't seek with all your own heart and all your own soul and all your own mind and time and strength for knowledge and the understanding that comes with it, and sounds like braindeadness to me. If you put buda in the garden and say "don't eat fruits of knowledge", just the mere fact you labelled it so positively I'd eat nothing else. Otherwise, "if you want to hide something from a black person" would have to apply to my ignorant self, for which I'd consequent myself by bashing my own unused head against a rock. I can assure that such an ignorant person is more likely to fail if you gave them all the money in the world and the information to farm land, since personal verified experience is required for successful farming. |

budaatum:That's the part you don't understand. Adam and Eve had eternal life, but they chose to abandon it by eating the fruit that led to their death. They died because they ate the fruit, so God did not lie. Just as you can be saved from the poison of a snake by seeking treatment, there is a path to redemption for eating the fruit. When God told them they would die, that is what happened. Satan, on the other hand, told them they wouldn't die and she will become like God. "but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’ ” 4“You will not surely die,” the serpent told her. 5“For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." budaatum:Or could you say you are teaching the child that his actions have consequences, specifically the consequence of receiving a beating? budaatum:Why are you blaming an external entity for the sabotage? If you don't have the necessary information, why take control in the first place? Instead of taking over the farmlands and ruining them, why not collaborate with the people who do know? Their farmlands benefit the country, and working together would yield better results than trying to manage something you're not equipped to handle due to a lack of expertise. We live in the information age; all information and studies are available. The government can fast-track people's acquisition of knowledge. Why are you acting like the people from whom land was expropriated are required to assist with that? budaatum:I will pose the question to you: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul budaatum:The consequences affect all living things. Additionally, consider why male animals dominate over female animals as well. Maybe Chauvinistic male animals helped in writing that part, too. budaatum:They once had everything they desired, but now they must ask for permission before they can eat. |

budaatum:God revealed the truth to them; He did not prevent them from discovering and facing the consequences of their actions. As I mentioned earlier, they were given the ability to verify God's information to face the consequences. God is like CNN, The Washington Post, and other labels. They are similar to us, using Google and other sources to determine what is true. The thing is, sometimes other sources have their own agenda and may provide half-truths that can mislead you. It’s like saying not to have sex without protection, but FAFO. Now that you have HIV, for the enjoyment of having unprotected sex and the full pleasure of sex, you are dying faster than people who are dying as each day passes by. |

raumdeuter:I believe that everyone in this world is deserving of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe in a 2 state solution where Palestinian children can grow up in their ancestral lands. You should figure out why you don't. Putin has tons of American hostages, has killed Americans around the globe through intermediaries and they actively rooted for Trump. Was Trump the wrong choice for America? Israel targeted and killed Americans doing volunteer work in Gaza. Israelis actively rooted for Trump. Was Trump the wrong choice for America? Everything you write is something a child would write. I don't think you have ever had a coherent thought not teeming with propaganda in your head. |
