Trump's National Guard deployments aren't random. They were planned years ago I think this really needs to be put in a larger context of other events. There are so many...that I cannot possibly cover them all, but here are some. Trump ordering his party years later not to negotiate with...

https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/nigeria-welcomes-us-assistance-fight-terrorism-presidency-spokesperson-says-2025-11-02/ Perhaps he is trying to activate US Christians to get out the vote in our upcoming election. Or real threat?

I think that part of the accusation is fraud. They are claiming he lied on a govt form or concealed info on such form which would be fraud. I don't know the details of that nor do I trust what they have to say about it. However, with a friendly judge and questionable language they might get away...

Okay. I can understand your point. I concede that you could be correct in the context of what we're discussing. My quest to try to come up with a broad umbrella of logical understanding is probably a vestige of once being involved with religion.

We are discussing the Bible, which is Christian, but as far as pre-marital sex in the OT, there is Exodus 22:16-17: "And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money...

I am a bit confused by this thread. The subject is purported to be about prostitution and the bible, but there is a focus on adultery. Why such a focus? Let's take a step back for a moment. Wouldn't one also say that premarital sex was a thing looked down upon (to put it mildly)? So if there...

This has got to be the worst AI video ever.

You still do not get it, then. The article is quoting people. Since no one in the Trump administration is saying it's about oil, there's no one being quoted about oil. That doesn't mean that it isn't about oil since we do not expect the Trump administration to say it is about oil. I am by this...

FULL STOP. Dude, that isn't how news articles work. News articles don't make claims about motivations of people generally as they make objective claims. So they write things like so-and-so said. Stating so-and-so said something is not the same thing as the news article stating that something is...

The real question is what will happen when he looks at the back of the prize? It's basically like a giant gold coin and the image on the back of it is 3 naked guys hugging. Personally, I think he will just melt the whole thing down and then recast it with his face on the front and 3 naked women...

Wow, he's trying really hard to get that lady to hand over her Nobel peace prize to him.

Winner:

To answer this question, let’s start with something else, not a human tragedy, but the death of an elephant. Another elephant from the same herd comes across the corpse. It stops. It mourns. It touches the dead body with its trunk. Other elephants gather, doing the same, and for days they...
