Oh good god, Trump didn't have a single budget where he wasn't short a trillion or more, and nary a word was said about it. So why now are you conservatives such budget hawks other than a Democrat is in power?


More nonsense from an expert. Conservatives HATE deficit spending regardless of who does it.

Randy, my parents were Missionaries. I also double-minored in Catholic Church History,
along with Mythology in Religion. Using Scripture to manipulate me isn't going to work. All you do is annoy me. You are wasting your own time, because I am not wasting my time reading your religious drivel.

If you would like to engage me in conversation, then keep all religion out of it. Neither your god nor your false prophet can be cross examined. And you don't make a better witness by using Scripture. You just come off as a constipated bull.

Arya, please do not take this as a rebuttal of your post, I do not intend it that way, because I agree with you. I read this a while back, and thought it was a good way to explain Matthew 7:1. I am adding it as food for thought, for whoever wants to give it a little thought.

Our culture uses Matthew 7:1 “Judge not lest ye be judged” to promote a tolerance that often encourages acceptance of behaviors the Bible forbids. We know that wasn’t Jesus’ intention. So, what did Jesus mean when He told us not to judge?
To judge means: to separate, to pick out, select, choose. By implication, it means to condemn, punish—avenge, conclude. It also carries the idea of having discernment. The passage where Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged” goes on to show us how to have discernment. Love is the proper motivation for not judging and for using good judgment.
What Are We Not to Judge?
The Bible says we can’t judge what is in someone’s heart.
We may assign bad motives to someone who ignores us when, in reality, he is fighting hidden battles. Or we may project good motives on someone in order to avoid conflict.
To judge another person shows pride. Only God knows what is in a person’s heart and the effort it takes to function where they are.
“Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly” (John 7:24).

This is the underlying reason why I base any judgments I might make on a persons actions, not what other people assign as their goals or agenda. For the most part, I also do not give much credence to a politician's words, speeches, or statements....especially since most are written by someone else.

I deleted a few lines for brevity. The full text, and more, can be found at:

I am sorry, Arya. I truly was not trying to manipulate you in any way. Nor am I trying to convert you or convince you of my beliefs. My post to you was strictly because I found it interesting, and thought you (and perhaps others) might think so as well. My time is, of course, mine to waste as I see fit, but I had no intent to annoy you. In the future, I will try to remember to do as you request, and leave religion out of it when I am addressing something directly to you. Have a good evening.

The United States is not broke. Where do youz get this crap from.
Why would a broke country be handing out $1.9 Trillion .
Maybe they should keep it.
Stuff it under the mattress in Lincolns bedroom.
The ruling party hasn’t been there long enough to totally destroy everything.
There were regulations in place that would’ve stopped a lot of this nonsense.
But, republicans always think everything is a Hindrance to their making profit. Get rid of all regulations .
Then, they’ll be throwing you off the cliff to collect your insurance money !

Question number 1 Should $1400 stimulus check go to prisoners?

Question number 2 Should $1400 stimulus check go to illegal aliens?


No and No and it shouldn't go to any of us either. This is nothing more than a buy off to get the 1.9 trillion sham to prop up blue cities and states, pp, teachers unions etc. passed. If they were serious they'd cut our taxes but that wouldn't have the same EFFECT as us getting a "CHECK" or seeing an increase to our bank account. It's a gimmick using money that's not there. Only .09 pf the 1.9 trillion is going to help actual people and businesses who are hurting, the rest of the 99.1 is going to buying votes. $99.1,000,000,000,000 to buy dem votes, $9,000,000,000 to help relieve small business' and individuals. Absurd and illegal. Mike

Since it is based on last years tax filing little of this would happen. Sadly it means the desperately poor don’t get it either. It is difficult to understand why a couple making over a hundred large a year get $2800 while some poor homeless guy begging for change to buy a sandwich doesn’t.


Because he hasn't worked to earn anything. Nothing in life is really free. Mike

Trust and believe there are desperately poor people living in America. I know people living under a bridge and eating out of trashcans.


My wife worked for social services for 32 years and knows first hand. The agency would go out and round up the homeless living under bridges and elsewhere, feed them, put appropriate clothes on them and try to get them into a housed situation. Because most were addicts or alcoholics or had other mental problems, they would put themselves back on the streets very quickly. It's where they felt more comfortable. They had their own rules and could scratch their addictions their way. Mike

I think you are mistaken. I have defended President Trump when I agreed with his actions, and I have criticized him when I did not. But believe what you want. That seems to be your pattern. Believe something without accurate facts, then rationalize it followed by arguing the point using slander and insults.
No doubt the captain of your high school debate team.

Neither! In fact, we can’t continue this money giveaway. We’re broke. The country is ripe for bankruptcy.


Agreed!! Bankruptcy seems to be the actual goal. Look at the money the Democrats are throwing at other countries. This can not continue.
