This was the last remaining case from an earlier atheist fad of suing every cross and nativity scene.
It's not that they never had a very technical case to be made. You just had to be a real dick to make a federal case out of it.
Whatever happened to Michael Newdow? Haven't heard this name in ages.

This is the deleterious effect of Twitter. Everyone's motivated to one-up the other's alarmism. There's more virtue the more distressed you present yourself.
This is also my complaint with how the left handles police killings.

A case like Eric Garner could unite the country to tackle police brutality. But when the left describes this as "white cops are out hunting black men" most people get off the train.
Using inflammatory and hyperbolic language only gets people to take you less seriously, and by extension pay less attention to the problem you're trying to raise awareness for.

I think most of us are in a holding pattern waiting to see how this story develops before chiming in.
Even my hardcore anti-Trump friends on facebook aren't sharing this story.

The Kavanaugh episode left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Maybe there's hesitancy to jump in the way many did with Swetnick.
Making the caveat that I don't know who's telling the truth. But timing this revelation to your book release is going to count against you.

Where's your sense of adventure?
You have a higher chance of dying from playing Russian Roulette than a DR vacation. You pussy.
See? It's easy.

"Real, pretend or imaginary—it doesn’t matter. The president needs to replace the theatrical tantrum with a political tactic that works." Good read. #FridayFeeling politico.com/magazine/story…
2-"A strong case can be made that the Trump presidency was born in a tantrum, as he raged in January 2017 that the size of his inauguration crowd had eclipsed all others. He yelled at his TV, The Associated Press reported in June 2017, to protest the coverage of the investigation
3-"of his administration. The next month, while trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Trump warned the world, “I will be very angry“ if Republican senators don’t vote his way. And how else to describe Trump’s famous showdown with CNN reporter Jim Acosta but a tantrum?

When I was 16 I had been an #atheist for 5 years.

I had read 3 versions of the bible.

I had read the Quran.

I believed the world was better off without religion.

I would try to 'deprogram' Christian's that I met.

I felt I was fighting a good fight.

I was wrong.

*Thread*
I have seen the downfall of western Europe in my own lifetime.

I now live in a largly orthodox Christian country and when I meet somebody who professes religious belief I smile and nod.

Good for them.

I like it this way.
My new mindset can be easily understood if you look at the gun control argument in my United States.

I put down my Bible and surrendered my religion.

I thought if everybody did it the world would be better.

But there are groups out there who will NEVER surrender theirs.

It's seem that #atheist and #exmuslim discussions have achieved sustained and none stop dialogue & discussion on #Maldives Twitter-sphere. We hav come a long way from where we were even an year ago. Now to scale it out further in terms of engagement. #recalibrate #expandoutward
How would we go about expanding the conversation into the mainstream? Here is my proposition. We need to work our way into pretty much every topical issue-based conversation that happens in the country. We can do this on social media given the high Internet and smartphone...
...adoption in the country. (ref: bit.ly/2GBAlub) and most if them are on social media. Anyone who has any level of interest in Maldives politics has a twitter account. What people say on Twitter are quoted in news media through post embeds, which then has led to those..

Last few words on @VladZamfir's poor piece of “work” (or is it propaganda?).

A 18-min rant to express what are some very simple ideas should be enough of a major red flag. But let me point out some tactics/fallacies. They are used elsewhere in this “space” too.
Tactics/fallacies used:
(a) “Call black white, white black”
(b) Deflection
(c) Framing
(d) Ad Hominem
(e) Intentional Vagueness
When someone suggests Zamfir’s idea invites centralized control/reinvents the status quo, note that he doesn’t respond to that point directly.

Last week had sold the Aug Bnf 25500/28000 Strangle for 261. If it continues up will have to consider an adjustment. Moving CE up 300 will cost 90. Question is whether to move 25500 to 26000 to save 38 or to leave it alone and put more Capital and sell 26kPE to generate 82
Oddly enough because the Premium received was so rich, the positive is still mildly positive.
Adjusted by buying 1 Bnf Future for my 10 lot position and selling 5 26000PE.
