[Dolan]

How do ppl have the patience to listen to podcasters is beyond me.
I listen like a few seconds, then keep skipping ahead, then I get bored and close it.

if you're interested in the personalities and what they're talking about it's ok. i do 2x speed on almost anything tho

yeah i think that's my problem, i'm not interested in any 'personalities'

Perhaps you can listen to AI generated podcasts

Play a game during. I played poker listening to that particular one

Democrats are at a historically low, and there will need to come someone who can exited them, enough to vote in an overwhelmingly way to overturn all the shenanigans that GOP will come up with. Pete is not IT imo. AOC is much more the IT, or someone in the middle of those.

They're not strong psychics

If Jesus comes back we should nominate him imo

[Dolan]

If Jesus comes back we should put him in a jar, add some breathing holes and put some grass inside.
Then monitor his movements: is he gonna try to get out or be happy in the jar.
If he keeps trying to get out, we should consider letting him get into politics.
Experiment conclusion: a hamster life was not for him.

If Jesus actually came back Christianity would probably be true, meaning that Jesus is an all powerful God who can do whatever he wants, not constrained by the rules of nature. I don't think you could hold him in a jar lol.

Jesus already came back and your president is trying to deport him

Donald Trump is judged.

He wasn't all that powerful, it explains why he was really pissed when his dad left him to die on the cross. He got respawned later and returned to heaven, they set up his special room there, where he could be chilling until the moment he'd have to return. So I think he's been just playing a lot of CoD and LoL ranked to make the time pass.

But since times were changing, his dad made contingency plans for a special device he could access to still stage his second coming, even if there was no available staff in heaven to help with the logistics.
He's been training for that moment, going to the gym, lifting, running. Kept a new, unopened Adidas tracksuit to wear on that day.

Jesus just doesn't know what's waiting for him on earth, where he could be captured and used in a scientific experiment, meant to establish whether he could live a virtuous, temptation-free life in a jar, or he'd strive for going out there, in the wild and crazy world, to smash beer bottles over his head and one day decide to get in the ring of politics.

The "trolling" continues! How funny

[iNcog]

He's not trolling. He's stated several times that he isn't. Canada is a vassal state to the USA as it is, they don't really deserve sovereignty. It's only natural to annex Canada and Trump is just doing what makes sense to do.

[princeofcarthage]

if it was russia or china talking about invading other countries you know... but hey its usa so its all good. aaah you hypocrites.

[Dolan]

You've been saying that you support Trump and that planet earth needs Trump for years. And now you're pointing out moralistically that Trump is making annexation threats directed at other countries.
Don't you see the irony of you criticising the USA for now making such threats, because your favourite politician won the elections.
This is the guy you wanted to be at the helm, because he represented that spirit of "might makes right". And you're calling Americans hypocrites for electing the guy you wanted, that represents the power politics you like.

I'm pretty sure most of us here in the thread think it's bad that Trump is doing this and actively wish him to die

I am sure but trump in all seriousness talked about annexing canada and invading greenland and other than some strong statements from Denmark no one really said anything. Can you imagine the uproar if it was china or russia? do you think usa will face same sanctions as russia if it invaded greenland? do you think europe will sanction usa? oh wait it did invade innocent countries in the past and nothing happened!!

Yeah I wanted him to win the election and it might have been good if he did what he did in first term but he took too it far. Basically none of the things he is doing now or the way he executed most things were part of his campaign. He has fallen into the classic power trap.

The deeper the ties go, the more time it takes to sever them. You don't have to look far for real world current examples: Although it's shrinking, still some european countries have business with russia
if you choose not to see that, that's your prerogative

so you would defend your brother for murdering someone because you have deeper ties but would shun a colleague cuz you don't have deeper ties? thought international law was suppose to be same for everyone. that there my friend is the classic example of hypocrisy and why most of the world wants to move on from western hegemony. a good leader is someone who would punish their own child the same way as they would punish a random criminal and this is where western world failed and that is what will bring your doom.

i'm for severing those ties actually. it's just that your ideals are not compatible with global/international economics.

it's easy to make those decisions when they don't hurt you - every country has sactions on north korea. but which political leader wants to hurt their own voters by making a stance against their biggest trading partners?
by your logic trump is consistent, matching your ideals and doing what he said he would do. why did you change your mind on him?
