As a conservative christian I really don't find any of this objectively wrong myself.
It's the other things he's said and the platform he supports that's the issue.
This is the most sane response I've ever seen from Trump.
“I don’t want to be just sitting there for two years vetoing everything.”
President Donald Trump picked up a call from @DashaBurns on POLITICO Elections Live and talked to us about the blue wave and how he’s willing to work with incoming congressional Democrats.

Regular Americans are worried about AI taking their jobs. Trump’s response was to insist on giving AI a fun new name. He had no plan to address the actual concern people have. And this is the Blue Wave in a nutshell. Relentlessly focused on the shit nobody cares about, at the expense of the things they do care about.
I keep seeing people say "why did the pilot take off again" "why did they keep flying"
Is everyone stupid? Have I lost my mind?
The answer is clearly
FOR MOTHER RUSSIA
Political non-violence is what's going to destroy society, as the glorious but decadent west rests in pacifism, rhetoric, and suicidal empathy while the actually violent opposition easily overthrows it.
I recently chudded out too much online.
The recent far-left violent attack on a One Nation volunteer has made me reflect on the risk of political violence destroying society.
I truly, truly do not want political violence. I am a fundamentally peaceful man who believes in peaceful democratic means to change society.
I am reflecting on my own chud out last week. I shouldn’t have called for violence against communist rioters in France and I shouldn’t have joked about past violence against communists in Indonesia, even though they are evil.
I was too emotional because I kept receiving death threats from the far-left and it was radicalising me. I’ve recently taken a few days to decompress. I am going to be very strict to never call for violence in the future.
We need to stay peaceful and keep our democracy from collapsing into radicalisation spirals
In case you were wondering, a filet mignon is the least flavorful cut of meat you can buy.
If you go to a fancy steakhouse and order a filet you are a fool.
The earth is already full of radioactive material and is bombarded by radiation constantly.
A nuclear bomb is largely a drop in the bucket.
We've already nuked the earth thousands of times.

Me in 2008: “Yeah, I’m probably pretty Libertarian in outlook. I think people can think for themselves and can be trusted to make their own rational judgements”
Me now:
I don't understand why this dude doesn't just buy a house and rent it out and donate his equity to the renters.
APOLOGIES TO ANYONE WHO THINKS OWNING A HOME IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN RENTING, BUT EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.
I’ve been renting the same apartment for four years.
I’ve paid $1,650 every month. That’s $79,200 over four years, and I have the bank statements to prove every cent.
I’ve never missed a payment. I’ve maintained the place. I’ve treated it like my own home and after all that?
I have no ownership stake in the property. Just four years of rent receipts.
Meanwhile, the property owner still owns the asset. My rent contributes to the income that helps cover the costs of owning it, while any equity they build belongs to them.
Now, I’m not saying landlords shouldn’t make money. Property taxes, maintenance, insurance, and mortgage payments are real expenses.
But here’s what I struggle to understand: Why is the only way for me to build an ownership stake in the place I live to somehow save enough money to buy property while I’m already spending a significant portion of my income on housing?
I’m not asking for a free house.
I’m asking why years of consistently paying for shelter don’t leave renters with any ownership in the asset they’re helping sustain.
Renting doesn’t make you irresponsible but why does the system make it so difficult to turn years of housing payments into wealth?

I really thought Vonnegut was onto something profound when he described humans as centipedes, turns out he was just describing Turkish culture.
I'm just loving all this Anakin energy lately.
I have a copy of the Book of Sith in a prominent place on my bookshelf, and always told my wife I'd be a Sith.
She never understood. The internet understands.
didn't realize so much of the prequels was just anakin arguing with libs teapaw.org/TPineconeM/status/2115…
