Trump or No Trump That's the Question

and, or p.s.....
While i probably wouldn't get Dave to proofread documents for me, i know he's a Brother i can count on for integrity and faithfulness, not only to the Lord but to the Brethren.
And i can guarantee you that men like Dave now this:



One other thing, if you have time to hear me out, is, i ask why you capitalized YOU when addressing Dave? Surely it would be better put as 'we'


Sometimes when we use capital letters or UPPERCASE, whichever the case may be, it is taken as shouting and/or intimidating. Often it is not so much what we say but how we say it, as you probably already know?

By the way, you left out the hyphen mark ( - )



Should it not read, re-elected? I could be wrong; i was once before. Can you see how petty it can be?


Bless you ....><>

I find it petty when anyone calls upper case "shouting." Nobody is even talking here, much less "shouting."
See how petty it can be?

You misspelled "i." It is a proper noun, viz., "I." You also wrote "mis-spelt" which is not a word.

Merriam Webster provides the correct spelling: Reelect | Definition of Reelect by Merriam-Webster

No, I did not leave out any hyphen. I intentionally placed a series of periods. Look up the meaning if you wish.
 
Don't presume to speak for me. Adults should speak as adults. God commends us to be wise, not ignorant.
You think you can correct me but I cannot correct someone who writes so very poorly? Then challenge MY manners which you violated by criticizing me?
I'm not speaking for you...I'm telling you to mind your manners...You seem to think you're better than others who have less spelling or grammar skills...That makes you pretty small. You may be smart but obviously that does not make you wise.
 
The content of what is written is what counts (no matter the form, syntax or grammatical accuracy) and we should look to the articulation and expression of that content as a person's voice needing to be heard (a right to express no matter the grammaticism).
I appreciate Peter for his collaboration with Mark in the formulation of the Gospel: he had no need to put on an elitist attitude regarding grammatology.
I appreciate much of the content I have read on the forum and in all its rich colourful use of prose (excuse the Northern European English spellings)...
Forgive me if I may make grammatical errors along the way.
In peace and grace,
LB
 
Jefferson said :

"""When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness… it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."""

So what does that mean?
It means that when your government is so corrupt , and so aligned with corruption, ..........the God fearing, honestly, and hard working people have to take back their government by force.
Its right there in the Declaration of Independence .


Recently in the USA, there was an incredible conspiracy that started with the Democratic Party and the CIA. They created lies..... and these created lies were peddled by the New's media, and dictated by all social media outlets.
This lasted Trump's entire 4 yrs and by the last election, half of the country believed it.

You had Trump being falsely accused 24/7 of being a Russian pawn, among other things...... and this stuff was not just coming from Hillary's Democratic Camp....It was being sold through the media by the CIA, itself.
Then....once this farce of an Election was about to happen, the Social medial outlets......Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, conspired together to not allow TRUTH to be "out there".
Trump supporters were banned, millions were cut off from voicing any opinion, or stating any facts related to rigged election conspiracy, or anything else that didnt agree with "lets turn the USA into the Capital of Mexican Illegal immigration.

50 "election fraud" cases were brought before courts by March 2021, and not one of them would take it up, because they were afraid of being harmed by "cancel culture" and also by those same who they had watched burning bulidings for months in 2020 as they shut down cities.
The honest people of the US, who were not on Biden's Voting list, are mostly cut off from their VOICE, and that includes Trump.
If you are a Trump voter, you basically have no voice in the USA.

There is coming a day when a severe comeuppance is going to hit the socialists party of Biden very hard and its going to leave a mark they are not going to be able to erase by banning people from social media outlets who do not agree with abortion on demand, Transgender rights..... Gay adoption..... no borders, leaving Americans in Afghanistan, Green energy nonsense, legalizing all illegals, and other such Marxist policies.

Its coming.

Wisdom exceedeth follly as far as light excelleth darkness.
You're on your high horse condemning me for pointing out the blatantly obvious.
Adults should not speak like unschooled children. It detracts from what they are trying to say.
Your condemnation of me is hypocritical, Mister Perfect.

You think condemning me makes you wise? It does not.

He, and you, might have said, "Good point. Lesson learned." But no, all you can do is try to point your holy, sanctimonious finger at me. Three others are pointing back at you. Now please go away. I don't want to read anything from you ever again.

"Go from the presence of a foolish man."

This site has an ignore feature for small folks. :) Many years ago teacher was downgrading my future son-in-law for his lack of language skills i ask her " Can you weld? " Different people have different skills .

Ah yes, I'm "small." And you are a giant. I searched in vain for any ignore function.
Sad to say this is a very poorly organized website. I'm sorry that I bothered anyone here.
To excuse blatant ignorance while showing religious sanctimoniousness is too much for me to take.
It's like a Saducee beating his chest while being thankful for not "being one of them."

Tell the owner to cancel my membership.

I want to encourage you to stay.
Yes I am new here.
I say this as at one time in my life I put academic pursuits above many things. I became so esoteric among my colleagues that others had struggled to gain access to our privileged discourse.
I realised that 'shrank' who could speak in such a narrow circle (not meaning to limit who could speak and share in a debate, but did by engaging in esoteric conversations ).
I am glad that Scripture speaks to all, and into all linguistic circumstances.
I am a self declared nerd and so I write in a certain way. But that is me.
You are not small: but think in a certain way. That is okay. 'Lessons' and correction make all of us humble. We all think and say things in certain ways and are so diverse in experience... and so lovely to see it- and to read it.
There was a reason you started posting here, follow that reason.
Your humble servant
LB,
PS: stay awhile okay, give it a go, a chance.
 
And just where might that be?
You don't really expect her to rhememba... i mean rebemba... i mean ummm what were we talking about ?

Thank you , i am aware of that.

You also wrote "mis-spelt" which is not a word.

i know.... i thought you might like that

he will be reelected or not.
Merriam Webster provides the correct spelling: Reelect | Definition of Reelect by Merriam-Webster

No, I did not leave out any hyphen. I intentionally placed a series of periods.

Thank you for pointing that out to me. I stand corrected. I was using the Oxford Dictionary.... shows how trivial and petty we can be.

Regarding the "series of periods", i must have missed them and yet i still can't see them? Perhaps i am getting dottery?

Regarding using UPPER case, it is reasonably common knowledge that it can be seen/read /taken /interpreted as shouting and my words were a gentle reminder. I honestly thought you would have known that. Forgive me please if I did not write what i meant with sufficient clarity for you.
Some things that some people write here do leave me a bit kerfudled.


Nobody is even talking here,

you, might have said, "Good point. Lesson learned." But no, all you can do is try to point your holy, sanctimonious finger at.... others
Yes, you could have said [written] ,"Good point! Lesson learned, sorry Dave, I didn't mean to insult you."

Friend, you see that some folk here are very protective, a bit like a dad i recently read about on a blog. It is not a bad thing.
Let us all look beyond our little self and be happy for the trials we face.

Reminds of of Samuel Beckett: Waiting For Godot... surreal narrative of Estragon.
 
In one's profile under preferences . I could not see it on the tablet but i do on the PC.
That seems to show me who I am ignoring, but not how to place someone on ignore.

Hmm....

I remain ignorant,

That's either a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system, or a bad skin condition.
The characters in the play are waiting for Godot. While they wait they enter into nihilistic rantings and comical attempts to pass the time... 'Waiting for Godot' is a play that is often seen as nihilistic. But if you scratch beneath the surface there is optimistic gold!

One quote I like is "They give birth astride of a grave, and then it is night once more." Verily to the point and wry certain whit

I like to rearticulate the theme of the play as 'waiting for God'. Imagine redefining literature from a Christological interpretation!

I need to stop spending too much time in analysis activities: it is beginning to show!

Waiting for someone is the theme of 'Godot'.... Like waiting for a leader who can bring us all together... oh we have one: Jesus is indeed Lord of Lords.... :)

Now, that other system, Epsilon sounds nice this time of year... I hear the hard radiation is a little light in summer! Now: where is my Volvo..... safest way to drive around there!

Hi Br. Bear,
I just copped on to ><> and <>< stream fishing. ><> is a tough one!
So too is <><, but I think I have swam between the flags (Ozzie saying about safety in water) and I am glad of the net!
If I ever get >< let me know: though I think self and shared accountability is a virtue.
I appreciate the energy.
Blessings,
L.B. (Liam)
