And who elected Biden? - why, sane and wise Democrats, of course.
Didn't you know, Democrats always know what's best for people.
Yes, that's it - Democrats know best and Republicans are dumb racists.
It must be true because the media tell me so ...
certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.
some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!
is trump’s goose cooked?

Even so, it had nothing to do with Trump, hence why the lawsuits will fail, there is no evidence Trump told them to go in or coordinated with anyone to organize it - exactly.
Love him or loathe him, Trump isn't finished.
Compare how the political system, justice system and media treat Trump vs how they treat Joe Biden. Gross double standards at play.
Trump has been impeached and indicted over and over again.
Meanwhile, the media has up till now studiously ignored any and all the problems with Joe Biden and his degenerate son, Hunter.
Joe's been given practically a free pass on inappropriate touching and sniffing of girls and women.
Hunter has left laptops lying around with sensitive info and the MSM has called it 'Russian disinformation'.
Joe has insisted he has no business links with his son, Hunter, and soon that will be put to the test.
A judge recently refused a sweetheart deal for Hunter that would have allowed him to plead guilty but walk free. Finally, some common sense prevails.

LAsM - just reading your last post, Evans calls people 'criminal defendants' before the papers are served and the case actually starts.
Does Kim or anyone else here know if Lloyd should be doing that?
When should someone be called a 'criminal defendant'?
original reddit post (removed).
The thread is about Lloyd Evans - yes, it is.
How many of the posts would he consider harassment or abuse? - all of them, bar yours.
Please stop - er, no.
You're clearly in the wrong place. If you don't like this thread, I suggest you don't read it.
this guy: how embarrassing.it's also sad that when it was being filmed, no one thought to tell him "you don't have to over do it..they'll get the point.."now he lives forever in internet infamy.
.
He looks like Ed Miliband.
And you never see the two in the same room together ...

He's spent most of the last 10-15 years putting himself out there on the web and social media as a self-proclaimed 'leading' exJW 'activist' but now he just seems to prefer trundling along in his own slow lane. Side-lined and irrelevant - any person who makes it their life's purpose to criticise the WT will eventually become irrelevant sooner or later.
We all have to move on eventually and make the best of things. Sweaty neckbeard Roy Devans is no different.
yeah, so i know nigel farage is a bit of an abrasive twat.. he no doubt holds views that other people disagree with.. but that doesn't mean his bank can just tell him to sod off and freeze his accounts.. such a thing might go on in commie china or authoritarian russia.
no doubt hitler closed lots of jewish people's accounts in nazi germany, too.. but the fact that it is happening here, in the yew-kay, is pretty chilling when you consider this country is supposed to champion freedoms, including the one to hold and express varying political views.. this seems to be part of a trend to delegitimise and cancel people who hold certain views.. i remember looking at a yt video of richard dawkins questioning muslim journalist mehdi hassan about his belief in flying horses and muhammad.
all fair analysis and criticism by dawkins until he suggested that hassan shouldn't be a journalist because of his beliefs.
Coutts are a very exclusive bank for the very rich and it is not for the likes of you and me. They select their customers - well, putting to one side the fact that other, less exclusive banks have done similar, isn't accepting/rejecting customers on the basis of their political opinions a rather arbitrary way to proceed?
And if banks wish to go down this route, shouldn't they make their 'values' publicly known so customers can pick the right banks for them?
Myself, I'm having a hard time taking seriously the fact that banks have values. To me, banks are greedy amoral scum, but what would I know ...

I remember looking at a YT video of Richard Dawkins questioning Muslim journalist Mehdi Hassan about his belief in flying horses and Muhammad. All fair analysis and criticism by Dawkins until he suggested that Hassan shouldn't be a journalist because of his beliefs. I don't like Mehdi Hassan but re journalism, he must be judged on his abilities as a journalist, and not on his religious/personal beliefs.
Like I said, Farage probably isn't a lot of people's cup of tea. But he should be allowed to maintain an account with the bank of his choice, regardless of his political views. Just imagine if a bank had frozen Nicola Sturgeon's account because she was pro-independence ... that would be outrageous, and plenty of Scotch Nuts would be out in force, protesting against oppression and the rest of it.
The only good thing that came out of this affair was the Head Banker (Dame Alison Rose), who briefed a BBC journalist about Farage and lied about why the bank got rid of him, had to resign herself.
Do you think other banks will learn this lesson?
Watch this space ...
the twickenham post made me think of this.
i have a few jw family members on facebook and being summertime, their pics of the convention have shown up in my fb feed.
along with their comments about "i wished it would never end" or "what a glorious weekend".
Did I enjoy assemblies/conventions?
No I didn't - even when I was 'in'.
The moderate ones were typically as dull as dishwater.
And TBH, I didn't really get all the excitement over new releases. We already had The Truth (TM) so what was so great about another book?
One or two of the other assemblies were frankly disturbing ('we're sooo close to the end, and all not associated with True Worship will be destroyed by Jehovah very soon').
at what point does a jehovah’s witness cease to be a jehovah’s witness?
what if a witness doesn't believe some of the official teachings of the governing body but remains silent on these subjects to avoid being disfellowshipped?
is he or she an apostate to the faith?
The point at which one becomes an Apostate is when the Elders decide it is so. From the org's point of view.
^^^ This. Just this.
