What are you talking about?

Serious answer from a non fundamentalist Christian: Because the old testament laws were intended for a specific society, to pave the way for Jesus. They were also a mix of religious rules and secular laws. They weren't (all) intended to be universal moral laws that apply to all of humanity.

It's definitely part of the federal government. It has more independence than a department of the executive branch, but it's not quite it's own branch of government either (it has no checks against the actual branches) The idea is that it needs to be run by economists and be somewhat insulated from politics.

Overall, they do a pretty good job, and are one of the more competent parts of the government

Nobody reads the article

I've been seeing a lot of this lately and I agree, it definitely feels like an astroturf campaign.

Most single issue voters are focused on domestic issues such as abortion or the economy. And you would think that someone who cares so much about Israel would also be worried about other aspects of foreign policy such as Ukraine.

The whole premise is ridiculous. And I think it speaks to Biden's success as a president that this is the best campaign they can come up with.

But I thought we were "a Republic, not a democracy."

Mechanically, I agree with you. But the I think the Pacifica is the most luxurious

If they are somebody else's tomatoes you need a thieving license.

Anti theism is a fringe, extreme viewpoint. Most atheists I know are reasonable people who respect other people's beliefs, as I do theirs.

Fuck all you and your dumbass beliefs. I have no problem with atheism. But when you say that religion should be stamped out, or that I cannot think critically because I believe in God, you're a narrow minded fucking idiot.

This is the take I cannot stand. I don't care what anyone's beliefs are, but to say that religion is inherently bad, or that it is incompatible with critical thinking is offensive, and quite frankly, extremely narrow minded and stupid.

IS YOUR CAT TOOO LOUD?!!

Didn't people make a big deal over jfk running for president because he was Catholic?

Lol. You are welcome to agree with what Trump did. But even if you think ignoring the election and trying to instill himself as dictator is "doing everything right", it's still wildly illegal.
