Politics Swamp drainage

You have a whole thread dedicated to Trump to post your grievances about him.

His post seems valid, as Trump was elected on the promise of draining the swamp... one of the vilest critters of that swamp are these men. But last time I checked neither of us are moderators so, that would be up to them.

Swamp adjacent.

Because the useful idiots have got to be given the illusion of being actually useful.
The ironing.

Yeah, and you are missing the point again, mate.

The post you chose to quote isn't so much about Trump, but about companies being paid to perform political activism.

Trump isn't the subject of the post, the subject is there are "entities", for lack of a better word, able to offer US$20mil contracts to companies whose business model revolves around non-organic protests.


Whereas h2o's post is about Trump. Trump is the topic of the post.


Are you starting to understand, or should I break it into much simpler words?

Trump administration intervenes to help block law requiring priests to report child abuse revealed in confessions​

While as a teacher, I'm all for the most severe punishment for child abuse, as a catholic, I don't see why such a law would be needed, as it infringes heavily on religious freedom. So, for non-catholics here, a short word on what confession is really about. When you are conscious of your sins, i.e your failure to conform your life to God's plans for you and your betraying of His love for you, you are experiencing some stress, and you need to reconcile by avowing your failures to God in the representation of one of His priests, and be absolved, and henceforth cleaned of your sins. But absolution is subject to your doing the reparation demanded from you : it may range from praying to apologies to financial compensation or handing yourself over to justice... As long as this reparation is not effective, you are not absolved and your confession is pointless.

While nowadays there is generally no pressure by the Church on base faithfuls to go to confession, such is not the case for priests who have to confess regularly. In the past indeed, reparations demanded from child molesters may have been too lenient, but Pope Francis has given directives to change all this in the future. The Church, worldwide, is cleaning house at the moment. And nothing will alter the fact that a priest may well avoid to confess this kind of sins, but in that case he will know he will remain tainted and unworthy of his ministry. And at any rate, the liberation of speech in such cases, especially that of his victims, should bring him to trial way faster than in the past.

Consequently, I fully agree with Mr Trump on this. And apologies for the off topic.

Bouncing up on that and the fact you are a teacher; but in the US a significant amount of reported cases related to child abuse and pedophilia have been established as taking place within the education system.

Contrary to religion, religious practices and everything related to faith, education isn't protected like "church-activities". In fact, teachers have the duty to protect their pupils and report any instances of mistreatment be them inflicted at school or at home.


And yet... how many stories have we seen regarding teachers involved in pedophilia-rings, covering up for rapes and violence, pushing pornographic material on their underage students, etc...
 
The swamp talks, and there will people here to defend it.

As we knew...😤
TREASON!
As I stated in previous threads, and to coworkers in 2021-2023, when swaths of people were strolling across the border, akin to army ants. As though they were going Black Friday shopping at the mall. If Americans are struggling to pay rent or a mortgage (many were living out of their personal car or truck!) Due to inflation, and could not sustain life needs, such as groceries. Then how all these NON citizens going to take care of themselves!? Now we know...😡

A lot of Non Citizens in the US are not illegal you know, often with higher paying jobs. Now if your colleges focus on sciences, rather than the different types of genders, then maybe some of the Citizens can handle these "non citizen" jobs. However, we know that the H1b visa are not there to enrich the American brain pool, but for your oligarch to exploit cheaper source of labor.

This is actually an interesting affair for the US, my stance is if you want to halt the majority of illegal immigration or just plain immigration, then hit the major American institutions/industries that hire them.

All these words are equally interchangeable to them.

Democracy, republic, constitution, constitutional republic, constitutional democracy, etc...

And they don't understand any of them.

So... now the Dems are opposed to having the Epstein files released?

Aint it hilarious.

Trump swears the Epstein tapes don't exist, then says his name is not mentioned in the tapes that don't exist. Now he says Obama, Biden, Hillary, and probably the Tooth Fairy wrote the tapes that don't exist. Is it me...?
 
Much is protected by Epstein's trial deal and various grand jury. There will be no judge activism on this one despite all the under age girl abuse and potential for actual virtue signalling.

However that would mean they have a Visa or Green card to be here. Or are tourists, who sustain themselves. Not by US taxpayers.
