Continue lapping it up.  Has it ever occurred to you that people, regardless of their faith, still have to live in this world and that despite Trump's failings, he just might politically represent the lesser of two evils?  Nah, it's just a rhetorical question.  Here's another example from today of what that hate you engage in, is leading to in the real world...

You lot should really learn to relax and pace yourselves.  If he manages to win AND live to take the office, it could cause you to lose it, mentally.

I think if the media reported that Jesus is evil, and Satan is good and reported that everyday like they do Trump.

The media would have a lot of people convinced. That's the power of the media. I've also noticed how the media

leaves out key info that's positive for Trump to keep their viewers uninformed. List of his accomplishments.

 Trump.Accomplishments.FINAL.pdf (lc.org)

You possibly didn't notice it, but the document is simply a list of "great goals" that the US and the economy had during his time in office.  BUT... there's no explanation of why these things happened.  There's nothing about "sponsored bill to (yadda yadda)" or "lobbied Congress to..."  It's just "Trump showed up and this happened."  However, except for his election interference efforts, I don't see any sign that he tried working bipartisan legislation or did much of anything at all except golf and puff up his own ego.

So we could have put Hillary in there and the same successes would have occurred.

I think you might be correct. After reviewing videos on X it does appear the unnamed individual attempted to climb up the area where the press was filming and after subdued Trump says, "it's okay, he's one of us. We tend to get a little itchy don't we?" Than he continues with his speech. 

Regardless who the individual was he is responsible for his own actions , was quickly subdued, arrested, charged, released and the police have said his name will be released at a later date when he appears in court.

The article you linked doesn't contradict what I linked.  The guys actions and motive are completely seperate from Trump's words as it was happening.

So, the guy and his motives were not the point of the entire article? They called him a Trump supporter with no evidence. As far as Trump calling the media enemies of the people, they are. They constantly misconstrue what is said and purposely cause divisiveness among the people.

This comment was not in the latter article or any other I've read...

"That's alright. That's OK. No, he's on our side," Trump said as the man attacking journalists was taken down, before offering a quip and a chuckle. "We get a little itchy, don't we? No, no, he's on our side."

They called it attacking journalists when he was yelling and cursing at Trump. If you can't see the difference in the way these articles are approached it says a lot about your critical thinking skills.

 Right.    We were traveling across the country during the nationwide Stay at Home advisory and nationwide non-essential travel ban.    (but, we had to get back home to continue med. care)   But yes..Everything was at rock bottom prices because ,if they could get it, they could still hardly give it away! .due to the shutdown. (Food Stores and gas stations were open (considered essential).  Trump bought an economy , including stimulus checks to us!  with our own money, in the form of National Debt!   ???

Infrastructure money is allocated separately than the stimulus money handed out to individuals. He handed it out for so long after the lockdowns were over no one could get anyone to work when they opened back up. A lot of businesses folded because they couldn't hire any help. People stayed on the stimulus money until the government stopped it.

HI Michelle

We had the stimulus payments here as well and it was a pay back loan basically. I didn't take a dime and lived off my savings and did get work from people that knew me.

That is incorrect. 

Canadians who received COVID-19 benefits, such as the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), had to repay the amounts if they were not eligible. This includes individuals who received payments in error or did not meet the eligibility criteria. However, those who were eligible to receive the benefits did not have to pay them back

Exactly the same in Canada.

An add too: In addition to the impact of extended unemployment benefits and stimulus payments on labor shortages, there were other factors that contributed to the complexities of the labor market post lockdown too. Many individuals remained hesitant to return to work due to ongoing health concerns related to COVID-19, especially in high contact industries.
 

Childcare challenges also played a significant role, as schools and daycare facilities faced closures or strict policies that made it difficult for parents to secure reliable care for their children.

And, many workers reassessed their preferences for job conditions, leading to a search for better wages, remote work opportunities, and improved workplace environments. Collectively, these factors also lent to a landscape where businesses struggled to fill positions.

HI Cid

Yes some did not have to pay back and others did, I chose not to take money solely because I had savings and expected to do work. None of this changes my original post.

Yes whatever, you don't like what I say so why bother quoting me I think our last exchange made it quite clear  you had my posts removed from that discussion. I won't cite you if you don't cite me, pretty simple concept.

HI Sherapy

I saw a lot of people taking the money that they weren't entitled to and knew the govt could never get it back. As far as I was concerned I didn't need to depend on it so didn't apply as should some others. 

There are things I get wrong and yes I will revise and there are things that I don't depend on to survive so no revision is needed on my end.

The simple, undeniable truth, in the excellent, and blistering speech in the OP, is that the Christian church, is, like all of Western Civilization, suffering from a pandemic of narcissism. The wealth created by the Industrial Revolution and separation of man from the land, and one another, are what have done this, I believe.

The prophet Daniel accurately forecasts this state of man, and this increase in knowledge, coupled with the speed of travel, a.k.a. Industrial Revolution, as the two signposts for when the state of Israel would reappear. 

In the New Testament, Timothy does the exact same thing, as he very accurately describes what is without a doubt, a pandemic of narcissism.

I would argue that the protestant reformation was a result of the narcissism of the leaders within the Catholic hierarchy, but now this narcissism has spread to every corner of the Christian church.

The big question, I now have, is, why did the reappearance of the state of Israel on earth need to coincide with the Industrial Revolution? 

The part about the speed of travel, which Daniel describes, would make perfect sense, but the increase in knowledge, I could only suspect, might be the appearance of nuclear weapons, which become a threat to the Earth, Israel, the Christian Church …. all of it. Only a Higher Power can put a stop to our suicidal madness. So we become reunited with the Creator, regardless of your belief system, at the most important time.

Put simply, it’s an opportunity to show our gratitude to our Maker, reveal Grace in the flesh again; even what the atheist Joseph Campbell described in his book, The Hero’s Journey, etc. So this perfect timing makes perfect sense, from every angle, if we simply remove our own narcissism from the equation, which is what most critical thinkers can’t do.

You try to make it sound like they were low priced before Biden , then gradually worked their way up, which is not the case. Egg prices fluctuate greatly on a regular basis from bird flu and other reasons. They were a dollar something  a dozen not too long ago , months ago just. Then they rapidly shoot up to 4 or 5 dollars/dozen , then back down. Just in the last couple weeks i seen them wildly go up and down. Today we got some for 2 something a dozen , a week or 2 ago they were near 5 a dozen. And i do believe some places gouge, even today the one store is 2 something a dozen and another store a few blocks away is closer to 4 something a dozen.
