Thread - Let yourself imagine...

Imagine you wake up tomorrow & find that @realDonaldTrump has signed an executive order suspending Federal funds to Blue States, saying it's being wasted.

Citing our huge deficits (he created w/ tax cuts for the rich), what if he declares a...
National Emergency & orders a big reduction in Social Security, & stops reimbursements from Medicare & Medicaid?

In need of a distraction, let's say he orders the US Military into Chicago to fight crime, and he suspends habeas corpus, detaining suspects indefinitely.

What if...
He decides he's had enough of the "Fake News" & has reporters jailed for false charges.

What if he announced a joint military exercise with Russia on US soil?

He "jokes" that if people don't vote for him in '20, he'll start a nuclear war saying "we'll all go down together!"
As it becomes apparent he is likely to lose the 2020 election despite his threats, he decides to cancel the election entirely, saying his supporters want him to stay.

What if he does lose the election & is facing Federal & State Indictments - Can you imagine what he wouldn't do?
From Nov 3rd until Jan 20th, he's stewing - faced with handing over power to a Democrat & being taken into custody right after the inauguration.

I can't imagine what he wouldn't do to avoid that situation, can you?

Oh, and what happens if he wins?
Look - We couldn't have imagined what he's done thus far, & nothing I've listed (& many things I haven't) are too far fetched to consider him doing going forward!

So, when you hear, "Let's not #ImpeachTrumpNow, let's let the voters take care of it in 2020!"

You should...
Consider the worst-case scenarios, because those are far more likely than any traditions or norms.

Christian:

So, Atheist, what are you going to say when you find yourself standing in front of God?

Me:

I'd have a lot of questions.

Why did you stay hidden?

Why did you stay silent?

Why did you demand faith instead of providing real evidence?
Why did you reveal yourself in a book full of historical inaccuracies and theological contradictions?

If you knew that the vast majority of the human beings you created would wind up in hell, why did you create them?

Why did you create hell? Why did you create evil?
How is an infinite punishment justified for a finite crime?

What's the point of torturing someone in hell, for eternity, if they can't ever learn from it or earn their way out of it?

Isn't that just torture for the sake of torture? Would you accept that behavior from us?

Trump's speech last night ratcheted up the rhetoric again.

There's nothing he won't do for power, including colluding with foreign adversaries, threatening violence and Civil War!

There's nothing he (or anyone else) can do to undermine his support amongst the Radical Right!
The only thing that can derail this ongoing Coup, this Cold Civil War, is the rule of law.

If the Justice System fails, our Nation's future is uncertain at best.

Even if successful, the hate that drives division will remain and Trump will be their martyr.
The changes needed to right this ship are:
• Remove private $ from politics
• Pass the Voting Rights Bill
• Outlaw gerrymandering
• Change the electoral college to mirror the popular vote
• Term Limits for Congress
• Make political deceit a felony!

Thread

I see a small group of "Christians for Trump 2024" outside a local store where I live.

I wasn't going shopping, but I couldn't resist, so I turned around.

I listened to their discussions, then asked politely:

Is it challenging to be a Christian Trump supporter?
Trumper: Not at all.

Me: Great, How do you feel about his border policy & family separation policy for immigrants?

Trumper: I support it, We have to keep America safe!

Me: have you experienced crime committed by immigrant?

Trumper: No, but

Me: Do you know someone who has?
Trumper: No, but it's a problem!

Me: Did you know, statistically, immigrants are much less likely to commit crimes that US citizens?

Trumper: I don't believe that's true.

(I show her statistics on my phone).

Trumper: How do I know that's not fake news?

Thread:

As a Veteran/Democrat - Things I believe (in no certain order):

1. Private funding of elections, and the control that gives to Corps/Wealthy, is the root cause of every problem we face today.

2. Democracy is in peril, and we must defend it regardless of the cost.
3. I support a woman's right to choose. But, in the absence of rape, incest, or the medical need to terminate the pregnancy . . . Responsible choices should be made before fetus viability. It's just the right thing to do.

4. Education is a right, and our system is broken.
5. I support true equality and freedom for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or any other individual characteristic.

6. I support a person's right to love and marry anyone they want.

7. Healthcare is a right.

1/

I can clearly remember when, at around age 9, I started questioning organized religion.

It was during my first experience with holy communion (bread/wine) with my Grandma.

It went something like this:

Q: What's that big cracker for?
A: It's not a cracker dear, it's bread.
2/

Q: It looks like a cracker. Does it taste like one?
A: Yes, but it's unleavened bread.

Me: I think it's a cracker.

Q: What's that?
A: Grape juice.

Q: The Preacher said it was wine that's like blood. Why is it juice?
A: Christians don't drink.

Me: Ok, but wait...

👇
3/

Q: Doesn't the Bible say Jesus drank wine?
A: Yes

Q: Then how come Christians don't drink?
A: They just don't honey, now hush.

Q: Since it's just crackers and juice, can I have some?
A: No just Christians get it.

Q: So, I'm not a Christian?
A: Not yet honey, shhh.

Real Bible verses. (Bondman = Slave)

He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime.

But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.—Exodus 21:20–21
Non-Virgin before marriage:

They shall cast her out of the doors of her father’s house, and the men of the city shall stone her to death, and she shall die: because she hath done a wicked thing in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s houself.
—Deuteronomy 22:20–21
In cases of Rape:

Thou shalt bring them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned: the damsel, because she cried not out, being in the city: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife.
—Deuteronomy 22:23–24
