If nothing can be done directly now just put in to Congress that under certain conditions his "approval" can be bypassed. Trump acts like a toddler. Treat him like a toddler.

I wanted to tell him to thank a farmer and produce group, then take some biology classes.

Deconstructing SIN.

DenoPenno comments on Dec 5, 2018:

Paul defined "sin" as "missing the mark" when he compared it to archery practice when you are shooting an arrow at the bullseye of the target. I assume the bullseye is "the mark" that you are shooting for. I won't get into this any more than that because I'm not teaching Sunday School.

DenoPenno replies on Dec 5, 2018:

@rcandlish I think you missed the whole thing. "The mark" is wording that came out of Greek language for what we would call a bullseye. Paul used the example of target practice and how the goal is to hit that bullseye. Sometimes, try as we may, that does not happen. "Sin" is missing the mark. It has nothing to do with abortion, drinking, smoking, or any individual thing a person might do. To sin is to not follow god's law even though we might be trying to. Like the bullseye we are trying to hit, we just keep trying.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 16, 2018:

Really? I thought ACA was a Republican program and that was why they have so much trouble getting rid of it. I ended up with Coventry which is not under Aetna and the new Medicare people go nuts wanting me to switch. Sorry. Had this plan since 2011. I'm a benefactor and not a victim yet.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 17, 2018:

@William_Mary I know ACA came along in the Obama years but Obama had very little to do with the program. It was all that was allowed at the time without a big fight. I know what Coventry is and they are now under Aetna. It's the best I can do for the area that I live in. What is happening here is that the GOP wants you to take their form of Medicare and they push it as being better. It is not. I get e-mail and calls all the time. The USA is still about Big Pharma

Who would have imagined that there was enough hatred to get Trump elected and yet the results speak ...

KKGator comments on Nov 17, 2018:

The whole "lemmings committing mass-suidice" is a myth. What actually happened was that a Disney film crew threw them off the cliff for a "documentary" they were filming, in Canada. Pretty fucking appalling that a staged murder of animals has turned into some sort of urban myth that's become ...

@Santanaman9 I can agree with this exactly. So many wanting America to be "made white again." I don't interact well with all the hate.

This explains a whole lot....

DenoPenno replies on Nov 16, 2018:

Most that I talk to assume that healthcare and social security will all be gone when they get old enough for it anyway so they simply do not care. This is the original defeatist attitude.

Has anybody seen it and would they care to see it?

Haven't seen it, know they are antisocial, and don't want to toss my dinner; I'll pass.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 16, 2018:

@Looking4-Others If any of us wonder why America has appeared to go to hell today without anyone taking issue with what is going on, the Koch brothers money and influence is why. The goal is to totally destroy government as we know it. Profit is all that matters.

So, what they gunna do about it?

azzow2 comments on Nov 16, 2018:

What morals? They all have had some drug conviction snowballed with paper work they all have a call girl/boy on the side they ripoff the American tax payer off on a daily basis with some petty law suit. If that is morals would hate to see what clean living looks like.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 15, 2018:

@AngryAF OK. Try this one "I Don't Want To Go To Heaven If I Can't Get In" by O.A.R.

Baptism is the washing away of original sin. Original sin is knowledge. Baptism is brainwashing.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 15, 2018:

You can call original sin knowledge if you want to but this is not exactly true. According to the fable in Genesis, Eve was talked into eating a fruit that gave her knowledge and she also made Adam eat. God was not pleased and had told them not to eat of that tree. It makes you wonder why the tree ...

DenoPenno replies on Nov 15, 2018:

@pashaonenine Thanks for the correction. You are right. Eve wanted to share her knowledge with Adam and he agreed to it.

DenoPenno comments on Nov 14, 2018:

The Antichrist was alive when Revelation was written. Why do Americans flatter themselves and put this into a future event that simply has to involve America and its presidents? Sorry. The writings are over 2000 years old. I don't see an America there. OK, it could have been Nero then. Let's go a ...

DenoPenno replies on Nov 15, 2018:

@johnprytz I agree totally. It shows how illogical modern day Christianity really is. Apparently it was not so logical in early days either.

Could you forgive someone who murdered your love one??

DenoPenno comments on Nov 13, 2018:

NO. Only in case of it being an accident. Otherwise I could never forgive and would like to get my hands around the killer's neck. As for all those church people who say they forgive and that you must forgive -- they are lying!

Trump, stung by midterms and nervous about Mueller, retreats from traditional presidential duties ...

Condor5 comments on Nov 13, 2018:

Retreats from traditional duties? The guy hasn't even engaged in traditional duties. All he does is cause problems, watch TV, undo whatever he can that the last administration accomplished, and lie about all of it. Yeah, pretty non-traditional, I'd say.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 13, 2018:

With all of the crap Trump says and the lies he tells, I honestly think all of his "undoing" of everything is so he can later claim that he put it all back together for us the way it should have been in the first place. His base will believe that and there's not a bit of truth in it. The man has no frigging idea what he is doing.

I think he is trying to save someone.

@jorj I'm simply reporting your claims on things I replied to because I saw the situation differently. BTW what is the real substance of this argument? Why was it an argument in the first place? With words like hyperbolic and tribalistic are we to assume that either of us won something here? What I see is a bunch of name calling that does not even fit. I'm in a "left wing bubble" but you actually favor Bernie. Backing up to read all this again it just appears idiotic and started over a simple difference of opinion.

@jorj OMG! You think you were so "viciously attacked" when I only posted a different opinion. I still have this difference of opinion and wonder if I should keep on posting. To say something makes another go all viral. The sanest world to me is where I don't have to hear about the idiotic things we have been posting here. A world where I can watch the morning news without hearing about or seeing the overnight tweets of an orange madman. BTW, what is a "left wing bubble?"

DenoPenno replies on Nov 11, 2018:

@jorj I'm not looking for the answer and I have little to do with partisan politics. GOP and Dems are not all that is out there and I belong to neither of them. I cannot force you to stop including Soros so I suppose the best we all can do is simply give up. I guess we are doomed. I don't buy into InfoWars, Breitbart, or Jones, so maybe the answer is the National Enquirer. With the inner workings of everybody and everything exposed it just seems to me that many think every event (like the caravan) is a conspiracy. Things happen. It's just that I prefer to remain in the sanest world possible.

I'm refusing to embrace the definition of insanity and trying something new. :-)

@jorj Isn't in the book that I think is all truth. What book do I think is all truth? I have nothing of relevance to offer because I pointed out that coal mining is not going to make a comeback. Then this idea makes me "so smart." You sound as though you are really butthurt about something and you're on the borderline of name calling.

DenoPenno replies on Nov 10, 2018:

I agree. Americans went along with this because of a wide belief in the bible as god's word and we openly chose sides trying to look through an interpretation of that book. What we helped create is something that may never get resolved. The situation there is very inhumane for so many people.

Still gross to hear it, for me anyway. Lol

DenoPenno replies on Nov 10, 2018:

Variants to the "stand your ground" thing will be popping up now forever. I would say the cop was super afraid of becoming gay. This is sick. On the other hand when you kill an intruder and call the cops to have one of them claim you have beat this person's brains out with a golf club, always tell them "I was in fear for my life."

Why is this?
