My grandfather used to have a slice of cheese with his.

Between Heller, McDonalds vs Chicago and now this one, gun rights are being strongly protected in this century. It’s beautiful to see.

Yes, exactly, and that’s totally understandable on the cops side. All they see is a corpse and you with a gun. Maybe you blew the guy away for no reason. They can’t just take your word for it.

You’d be surprised how many wives settle for that. If you are filthy rich there’s a percentage of women who either stick their heads in the sand, don’t care, or passively accept their husband having a mistress.

If you don’t like them why are you doing them a favor? 😜

You can’t trust adopted people. Sheer evil.

Don’t be so hard on yourself bro. You are going to do just fine. Congrats.

They would. Obviously not all Catholics like the guy, some view him the way LDS conservatives viewed Harry Reid.

Obama is the kind of liberal that most of my liberal friends are. Liberal, sure, but they can talk and disagree with you without screaming in rage. In fact, most handle dissent better then my Trumper friends.

You’d be amazed how many Catholics are pro choice. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/12/1244156165/abortion-catholics-pope-francis-church-pew-research

I do think Trumpers took it to another level though. I’ve never seen such worship of a politician outside of North Korea.

It’s a politics/true believer thing. We all saw delusional devotion to Obama in 2008.

I for one, believe him fully. You can trust him. He‘s not like the others. Nope. Not at all. Sorry @Phoenix_person, but he’s going to pardon Hunter.

For full transparency I listen to the BOM on audio on workouts. I never read it.

Not active, still believe and read/listen to my BOM daily. sorry much to the dismay of many, still part o’ the tribe.

Lurkers-you can be a happy and optimistic LDS. We exist.

Okay, since everyone on this thread is going down the crabby and grumpy road like a bunch of senior citizens who missed nap time, I thought I’d throw down some optimism from our prophets and leaders.

Yes, but it’s complicated. World War II absolutely helped our economy, but one could easily argue that the human cost did far more long term damage then the economic plus it created.

Not to put you on the spot, but we’re all friends and long time posters here. We all know each others politics, more or less. You’ll probably vote for Biden right? Or will you write in Dean Phillips?

The education of @LDSGator began at a young age. In school we had a mock election between Clinton/Bush in 92. One mom wrote a four page totally unhinged rant about how she could never vote for Bush because he wasn’t “pro life enough.” By her not doing that, she gave a vote to Clinton. I grasped this complexity of American politics in 1992, when @Just_A_Guy was 44 and I was only 12.

How is throwing your vote away advancing any cause you care about? Then you don’t understand politics. Which is largely/mostly about winning. When someone says “it has nothing to so with “X”” that’s an excellent indicator that it‘s all about X.

I’m glad you asked. 1) Because it accomplishes nothing. No matter how bad I want the Libertarian Party to win, they have zero chance. Same with the Constitution Party. 2)By voting for third parties you take away a vote from an electable candidate, thus hurting your own cause because someone you agree with far less might then win. This won’t hurt a candidate in thick red/blue states, but it will hurt a candidate in swing states. 3) by voting third party, you get to pat yourself on the back and talk about how you don’t get your hands dirty like the peons who vote straight red/blue. So you get the added thrill of feeling morally superior to those fools.

Okay. I’m doing what right wingers did in 2008, 2004, and 2012. Staying home or voting third party. After all, if they did it for those elections it’s okay for me to do it too. I at least admit it’s a selfish and self congratulatory action, lol.
