Im “both sidesing” this because on the issue of these camps the Biden administration continued to use them. Biden deported more people than Trump and partly that was done using these camps. If you don’t want people pointing out the democrats are just as guilty then the democrats have to choose to not be just as guilty

Lemmy mods are at ridk for legal consequences so I would cut them more slack.

Neither side is good on this issue. Trump opened camps and Biden continued to use them.

Did we stop the Biden administration from using them once Trump built them? No, no we did not.

We have had one there for 25 years now.

If you accept an apocalyptic faith like Christianity are the details of the end times battle that crazy?

Exactly, if you already engage in magical thinking more magical thinking isn’t that crazy.

It’s the end game for that faith? Im not Christian but if you already accept the apocalyptic faith that Christianity is this isn’t crazy within that context

The JW’s are a specific branch o protestant Christianity that arose in the USA.

They are evangelical, note the small e, in that they believe it is their express duty to spread their take on Christ’s message. They are NOT Evangelical in the sense of non-denominational Christianity.

They are non-trinitarian (there is just God not parts of God), they believe Armageddon is imminent.

Witnesses still fall into most of the red flags for cultishness but they are a little too big to be viewed as a cult.

Most of what you list isn’t crazy if you know the texts. For example The 144000 men chosen to fight the Beast’s armies in Armageddon are the basis of the chosen/elect/elite which appears in other denominational theologies.

edit: Christianity is an apocalyptic faith if you already accept that your God died to forgive original sin is a end times battle that crazy?

They are Christian in that they accept the Bible and they believe in the redemptive act of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

They are different than Mormons in that they do not have a new text or a fundamentally different take on the nature of your relationship with God like the LDS do.

They are very odd and cultish but they are Christians.

I was about to ask how often you wake up to per but oof.

Insomnia also Balatro

Ideally the impetus to cut taxes would be as a response to a recession to get the economy moving. Im not advocating cuts for cuts sake.

Many people do not understand how to politely disagree. Sometimes they will accuse people of things because they cannot properly communicate their views

If you are going to reduce the revenue you are taking in you need to cut spending to avoid creating a deficit or debt, and yes you would do this to cool off an economy or to pay off debt should you cut spending without cutting taxes.

He did a show called Van Damme Van Johnson whose premise was he was a secret agent and all the action films were cover for his work. It was great but like everything on Prime in the early days nobody watched it.

Van Damme is a much better actor and was extremely fuckable in his heyday which cannot be said for Segal

Costner did lead several westerns and a few were good. Segal has always been a joke.
