White supremacist group training for violence in case Donald Trump loses election, says report

@WilliamCharles To vote for a third party in 2020 is like throwing your vote away. We know a third party is not going to win and cannot win. As for "Creepy Joe" always remember that Trump called him that. If you call him that also I see what side you support. It is not that I like Joe or that I think the Dems gave us their best by supporting him. It's that I want to preserve and protect our Democracy, our Social Security, and the way of life we have had for the last 85 years. Trump wants to destroy all of that, either because he can or because his ego thinks he can give us something better and it never happens. Trumpy has spent 4 years battling Hillary and Obama and preaching hate. Take back our country and vote blue. Most of Trump's enemies are not even in office.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 28, 2020:

Perfect answer for a shill like Barrett. By her own definition of "originalist" she would have no position at all. Too many fail to see this and they cannot see what is going on here. Trump and his GOP want to use her to chop up needed programs.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 28, 2020:

@UrsiMajor If Biden wins by a landslide she probably won't help Trump much. Also, if Trump wins and we have the Senate and Congress andTrump might end up as a lame duck president. He won't like that but it serves him right.

Whether a person gives a damn or not the idea is to help the one who experienced the loss to go forward with their own life. Expressions of where you think the departed might be are useless. A thought of sympathy in their direction works wonders.

In my above post the point I am trying to bring out is that when the girls changed the subject when I said I wanted to meet this local relative who has things flying around in her house, it only meant one thing. Nothing is flying around and no supernatural or paranormal things are happening there.

I’ve never bought into alien abductions. I’ve seen nothing to convince me yet. I doubt that’ll change in my lifetime.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 24, 2020:

I have often wondered if mental time warps on an individual basis might distort into some type of birth remembrance where the "abductee" seems to see a man in a mask and others around but the vision seen is very distorted. Then something is done to the naval and so forth. Hypnosis can amplify this experience and even help convince another person that they were also there. This comes about because the therapist believes in abductions and people thought they had missing time. The entire missing time phenomena is simple really. Missing time of what? There would be no time to remember.

I remember when the Christians all had their dicks in a twist because of "Bewitched" a stupid situational comedy from the 1960's. These morons are ALWAYS being victimized by everything they don't control. Belief in God is just how people play God. F them all.

DenoPenno replies on Oct 12, 2020:

@Eazyduzzit Thanks for the new insight and I think you are correct. I always took it before that his mother was praying for his livelihood to fail because he was considered not right with god. if I made that mistake as a former Christian just imagine how many believer did also.

@Desertcactus It appears to be an extension of the physical body at first inspection but the reality of it is and extension of your mind.

Even worse when they treat the current Administration from hell in ways of respect because they believe "you have to respect the person's title" Why? Why would you show respect for those who appear to have none at all and none for you. Sometimes they even refuse to answer questions. Media should dog these people with the right questions until they answer or just give up and walk away. We should not allow them to create more lies and diversions. Any question about right now today needs a direct answer.

I have talked with friends who claim their loved ones were seeing dead people before they died. Is it real, or more likely some inner knowledge that they will also be dead in a short time?

This is why a man with a gun was captured close to a pizza parlor supposedly harboring sex slave kids. He believed it. This is why we see pics of Obama and Hillary infused with Trump's watchful eye even today with words like "wait for it" on the meme. Yes, he's going to lock them both up. Oh, come on now. This is all that has went on in 4 years and Trump followers think he is some sort of god come to punish all the bad and the idiots hope he punishes the same people they think needs punishing. I keep hearing many people that say Trump does not mess around. "He gets things done?" What is it he has done in 4 years? What part of any of it makes the world better for you? It is past time for Trump to leave.

An atheist or any non-believer should always speak plainly. Otherwise you are caught in a circle of total nonsense from the beginning. This is why I feel a lot of debates are useless. All hot air.
