so muslim atrocities make christianity a sham. that is just dripping with sense.
how many children get abused in public school? how
many women get abused by their doctor? let’s do away with public schools medicine!
every single large group had bad apples. certain people will blame the entire group, usually for political reasons.
and for the third time, if it’s a sham, what does that say about the guy you’re going to vote for president, that he has devoted himself to a sham? doesn’t that make him some kind of dupe?
can’t have it both ways.

Boy what did I strike a nerve and no Jim I don’t and never have voted based on what religion the candidate belongs to, because I really don’t care. I’d vote for anyone with a pulse running against the biggest sham and con every placed in the White House.

now you’re
moving the goalposts.
you said all religion is a sham. that necessarily means that you believe that joe biden got duped by a sham. but you trust h
to be president?
this isn’t about picking one religion or the other. you said all are shams.

Just because I have no use for religion, doesn’t mean others don’t have that need, my point which you have twisted into I don’t know what, is that millions have died in the name of religion.
I’d trust anyone the Democrats want to run to do a better job than this con man and religion has nothing to do with my choice. And if any of you younger workers are thinking your social security is an integral part of your retirement plan, Trump will be going after that if elected.

moving the goalposts again. big time.
saying “i personally have no use for religion, but i respect others right to make a different choice”, is very different from
saying “religion is a sham
that does more harm
than good.”.
that was funny. twisting like a contortionist.

SS was screwed by the demographic/mathematical effect of the baby boomers, and by the refusal of the nation to adjust for that. that’s waaayy bigger than trump.

Yes, any Democrat would do a better job of Progressively centralizing the American system of government. And to transfer more power from the States to the federal government. And folks who think that the President should have the power to do a better job of regulating our lives has no notion of how our constitutional system is supposed to work. And if you think Trump has the constitutional power all on his own to destroy social security, you have not only no idea of how our constitutional system is supposed to work, you're imbued with the notion that the President is supposed to be some Progressive form of autocrat.
