My question: where does your hope come from?
Do people "have" hope? As if its not attached to anything? Don't people hope "for" things? So, do you mean to ask something like "What do atheists hope for?"

Politics and Hope
by lriddle80 inso there are a lot of atheists on here.
my question: where does your hope come from?
that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

Do You Believe In A “Deep State”?
by minimus inor do you think the idea of a deep state is malarkey?

The first time I heard “Trump agrees with Q”, I thought the news was accusing Trump of being in league with the omnipotent villain from Star Trek the Next Generation. I mean, given the news, it didn’t seem too strange they might be claiming something like that.
I still don’t know much more about it..

I am one of the more vocal Trump supporters on this site. But I have no idea what QAnon believes. They only enter my mind when someone on the left claims QAnon believes <insert some belief here>, which they then mock. Well, ok. Whatever.

If Biden wins
by mickbobcat inif biden wins i hope trump starts the trump news network and hires out from fox the good casters.
the people who made fox what it is are starting to get sick of how its turning to the left or dark side.
this would give trump a voice and keep alive real journalism.

I would get behind an Owens ticket. That would be awesome.
Lawsuits continue, but RealClearPolitics has 279 for the Biden campaign now - they attributed PA to Biden. I'm sure lawsuits will fly there.
But assuming Trump eventually has to concede - he should (as Styx put it) "break all of their toys". Pardon Snowden. Pardon Assange. Pardon Flynn. Then release every little piece of information the state department has on any politician - no matter what party. Give all the info to Assange. Declassify ... expose. Break their toys.
If Trump wins, by some lawsuit miracle - do the same thing. Break their toys.

Am I going way out on a limb? Why the USA is doing poorly with COVID
by frozen2018 ini saw this time article: https://time.com/2938158/youth-fail-to-qualify-military-service/.
if 71% of youth are in that bad of shape, would it follow that the entire population is in bad physical shape to begin with?
what happens if a virus such as covid-19 infects an unhealthy population?

@frozen:
Curious - if the US is “doing poorly”, what does “doing well” look like?

Yeah. I don’t really go for “Trump will win because <insert some divine cause here>” shenanigans. If Trump wins it will be from presenting a case to SCOTUS that causes either a new vote for contested states, or push to the House.

@pale:
You said you don't watch CNN. Ok, good. All good and fine. So if you are really serious, you would ask yourself this (edited to remove CNN):
"Why the fuck do I think Trump never denied white supremacy? After all, I'm looking at YEARS AND YEARS of examples of him doing just that? I've operated under the impression for 4 years that he just doesn't want to deny white supremacy, yet it seems like he's been doing it all along. Where did that idea come from?"

This sums it up quite well (again). Note: this is not the same video as my first post. This is an entirely different podcast, updated as of yesterday (2020-11-08):

@pale:
*sigh*
You aren't listening. You aren't being serious - which is fine. That seems to be the pattern here.
@millie had a good illustration either in this thread or a different (can't remember right now): If your child was sick and needed a surgery, a complicated surgery, right now, and you had to choose between doctors:
1) A very experience and capable doctor that has done the needed surgery many times, no casualties. But he's not so charming. Maybe he's had 5 wives. Generally a jerk. Maybe rough around the edges. Hell, let's just say (even though this doesn't map with Trump) he's got a grand dragon KKK hood in his office.
or
2) A doctor everyone loves. Charismatic, nice. But loses 1/2 his patients.
Which would you choose? Would you really care so much about doctor #1's faults? There are more pressing issues, and those faults can be set aside for the moment.
I've said it this way:
A man is wheeled into the ER with massive wounds everywhere, perhaps due to a car accident. The ER doctor starts to fix the small cut on the patient's hand while he bleeds out due to the massive chest wounds. How do you feel about this ER doctor?
Focusing on Trump's charisma and his personality is like focusing in on the small cut. There are bigger issues to deal with. There are bigger problems to address in order to prevent death. The left is undermining general western principles. It has been happening for quite some time, but it is accelerated now.
Let me try it this way:
If Biden were to come out tomorrow and say: "Ok guys, we've been a bit stupid. No more identity politics. This systemic racism stuff is garbage. We need to promote systems based on merit. It is not a sign of "whiteness" to get up in the morning and hold a job, to delay gratification and save money. Frankly, we've been pushing real racism for a while and need to back off that. Also, the assault on fossil fuels is a bit exaggerated and we're going to kill a lot of people if we do this. Markets are good, and we have too much regulation, and we have to get our debt under control. And ... let's be honest, the COVID thing was a scare tactic. And good lord, the news media is flat out garbage now, always stoking racial tensions. I mean, CNN is more like the Onion than a news network. And don't get me started with the Green New Deal - that is a document only mentally retarded people take seriously. And, in general, some very western civ values, like freedom of speech and the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' are actually good things."
There are many more things, but if he said stuff like this, hell, *** I *** would have voted for him.
So try again: It is NOT about Trump. It is about POLICY.

He wants to address "systemic racism". In other words, all races don't seem to be doing same. Let's fix this "equity" problem by implementing racial discrimination and policies that disadvantage some racial groups (white, asian). You know, knock anyone doing well down a peg or two because they are white. YAY Justice!
