OT: American Politics

Is there a way to make that Trump Epstein quote an auto reply to every troll post?

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

If we credit the first year of each term to their predecessor instead:

Clinton: +3.66
Reagan: +3.64
Bush1: +2.93
Carter +2.73
Obama: +2.30
Trump: +2.28
Biden: +2.17*
Bush2: +1.76

though crediting biden's first year to Trump is a massive stretch of course.

Hi...thanks for suddenly worrying about Democratic votes. But, as you all like to point out this is a Constitutional Republic. So, what you and I vote for in a primary or caucus is actually delegates. Those delegates are pledged to a candidate. If that candidate drops out or something happens they can change their vote to another candidate. That's literally the rules for both parties. Anyone can run right now. They just need 300 signatures with no more than 50 from any one state. They will get on the ballot and the delegates will vote for them on our behalf. At this point VP Harris is winning and the fact that she has raised the most money of any political campaign in history, gotten the most volunteers of any campaign faster, and has all but won over all the delegates she needs tells me that the system is working. So, there you have it. Not only is it legal it’s actually the system.

Finally...party candidate selection is up to them. We don't even have to have primaries. Did it bother you last cycle when most states didn't hold a Republican Primary at all and just gave it to Trump? Seems un-Democratic to me....yet none of you said a word. Funny thing that. Thanks for stopping by.

Through the burning of witches, crusades, inquisitions etcetera? The dark ages are called so due to religion stifling outside thought and killing scientists. Where would we be had we not lost those 400 or so years eh? Probably well passed the ignorance we're still seeing today.

Religion was developed as a tool to control the masses and the message and they're trying to do it again.

Why is it humans without religion were decent to each other (at least to the extent you're purporting religion created) without religion all together?

This fallacy of yours is the salient issue of humankind, the need for a deity to sooth the worries of death and even radicalize some to welcome it, is what makes me a misanthrope.

You're talking to someone that verbally dressed down a Vatican priest for continuing to perpetuate the idiocies of doctrine that do nothing more than create subservience. I can keep going if you like but you'll likely just get upset.

In a nutshell, put me in front of "God" and I'll tell him what I really think to his face. You think I'm afraid of oblivion? I'm prepared for it.
