President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Ah, the perils of translation.

 

It just occurred to me that Trump has managed to drive his popularity down this far while the economy is doing what more or less counts for well these days. Imagine where it goes if we hit a recession before 2020?

 

This is why the debt ceiling issue is such a time bomb for Republicans. The last big dip in consumer confidence came during the 2011 debt limit standoff. Consumer confidence, after all, is just how people feel their own economy is going.

Hate. Our CEO was the regional campaign chairman one year. (The year after Ken Lay of Enron.). Big push to get everyone to give.

I'm not a huge fan of the United Way, but you basically had to give.

In context Matt. 25:31–46 doesn't FORCE you to help but it says there is no place in heaven for those that don't. Essentially you are not a Christian if you don't.
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.

 

Nahhh, don't give. I worked at a place in the 90s, big push for 100% participation from all the admins, even a personal message from the big boss. Came down to the last day of the campaign and my boss told me I was the only one who hadn't signed a pledge. I told him 99% would just have to be good enough.

 

Trump is doing well despite the deep state.

 

Sure ... now tell me how Jesus would say it today ... I doubt it'd be along the lines of, "Truly, I tell you, when you implemented the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, reducing the marginal rate on the one-percenters by a quarter-percent, you did not do for me."
