So three posts later, you admit you are an ardent Trump support again. Glad we had that conversation.

So you still haven't answered the question: what possible thing could Trump do that you would no longer support him? Is there anything you can think of?

If the answer is no (and again, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to), then you aren't actually into "politics" or "policy" but rather you are faithful to a singular personality.

And if that's the case, you should spend more of your time thinking and writing about Trump himself since that's the center of your belief system.

Also, by the way, I've been meaning to ask this: why are only Trump and Putin only the second coming of Christ? Why not Xi, Robert Mugabe, or any of the rest of the world's dictators? Is it just Trump and Putin for you? If so, then why?



Since I have shown you how you are the one supporting Trump by badmouthing him, and since I have simply shown some of the good things that Trump has done...

I know it is difficult for you to be righteous in what you are saying. So, all that might be left for you is borderline insane talk. And that seems to be where you are taking yourself. Or have you really gone over the edge already?

America was founded on principles of freedom and doing good to other people. If Biden is really as mentally impaired as he seems to be most of the time, it isn't his fault that those who are really in control have wrecked the American society, and killed off hundreds of thousands by making and supporting wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

The pendulum will swing back. And I hope that if Biden is innocent by being senile, that he wakes up enough to remain innocent, by resigning a position he can't handle righteously. This way he won't be hurt so badly by the pendulum swinging back to freedom and prosperity.

However, anybody can make charts and graphs.

It must be frustrating not knowing how to read them.

I'll try just words and see if that helps.

When Trump was sworn in there were 145.6  million US Jobs.

When he left office (in shame), there were 142.7 million US jobs.

While Trump was in office, the total US job growth was negative 2.9 million.

When Biden was sworn in, there were 142.7 million US jobs (because it was the same day Trump left).

As of the last jobs report (Feb 2024) there are 157.8 million US jobs.

That means, so far under Biden 15.1 million jobs have been created.


[...]


Good job  Tongue There is something that people who care about information do not know, but several polls reveal that Trump voters are absolutely convinced that there were more and better jobs created during Trump than during Biden. And that is just the tip of the iceberg, there are quite a few very relevant figures and data that they are equally convinced or and wrong about. This is what happens when people limit their sources of information to only those that reinforce their beliefs.

Well, I guess you jokers simply can't figure out the mindset of the majority of the people. The people have good reason for their mindset - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5269905.msg55119252#msg55119252. The polls also show that the more opposition Trump gets, the stronger he gets.

You sound like you think that I support Trump. Why do you think this, if you do?


Everything I've ever read from your account indicates to me that you support Trump. You support everything Trump supports, and you repeat all kinds of negative things the Republican party comes up with about Biden and the Democrats.

In the posting above, you implied that Trump (along with Putin) are the actual second coming of Christ, which, to me at least, sounds like you are very positive on Trump.

If you want to put this rumor to bed, however, you can tell us the reasons why you won't be voting for Trump, and why you hope he loses the election in November.



Are these some of the reasons why you won't be voting for Trump? Or will you be voting for him? Trump accomplishments - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5269905.msg55119252#msg55119252.

You sound like you think that I support Trump. Why do you think this, if you do? After all, You talk about him just about as much as I do, although your talk seems to be negative about him. And in case you haven't noticed, it seems the more the negative talk about Trump, the more popular he gets.

You have never heard of the Russian Orthodox Church?


Have you ever heard of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? The one Vladimir Putin has vowed to reconstruct after what he called the greatest catastrophe in history in its dissolution?

I am still convinced you'd have no opinion about Russia if Trump didn't care about it one way or another, and you'd be against Russia if Trump was. The reason I believe this is that all of the hard-core Trump supporters I talk to reverse themselves when they learn Trump has reversed himself.

Trump has recently reversed himself on abortion (saying we should have moderate laws now) because he wants to win the election this November. But him reversing himself will be a one-way street for those wanting stricter laws on abortion because he's going to get millions to parrot his moderate views on abortion (which are pretty much pro-choice, at least rhetorically).

So now Trump's followers have gone from "it's murder and women who have abortions are murders" to, "we should have moderate abortion laws like Europe does", calling the Florida law, "horrible" for instance.

This leaves me wonder what y'all actually believe since the only constant is following Trump and whatever he happens to believe that day.

Put it another way, what would Trump have to actually do in order for you to withdraw your support for him? If the answer (which you don't have to write down here if you don't want) is, "nothing", then your beliefs are that of a person and not any consistent ideas. I don't think there's anything wrong with that per se--lots of people don't have time in their busy lives to formulate complex ideas about politics and policy--but it's worth at least, for purposes of self-awareness--knowing yourself well enough to understand what really motivates you.


Wow! You sound scared.

Trump was peace. All you need to do is look at history to see this. But you are scared of him.

Biden and his team have caused the deaths of at least 600,000. And in doing it, they have cause such great inflation in America that many Americans are finding it difficult just to live. And Biden and his team have brought hundreds of thousands of illegals into the US, without checking to see that there aren't any anti-American terrorists among them.

Why aren't you scared of Biden? He has done many of the things that you are scared of Trump doing... and way worse than that in some areas.



When Jesus returns, it will be in the form of a kingship. That's like a dictatorship. So, you should be afraid of a Christian USSR, because it would absolutely wipe out the unChristian activities of the USA and Nato, and especially the Western banking system.

But that is what the Biden team are pushing into being... a war with Russia. They are trying to take over the world, even if they don't call it a USSR. But they are not Christian, as you can see from all the murder they are causing in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Of course, we are getting the picture. You are showing yourself to be a warmonger who is against peace.


An Easter Message For All, and How to Respond to the White House Dissing God



https://danielbobinski.substack.com/p/an-easter-message-for-all-and-how
Christ, by the way, is not Jesus's last name. The word Christ comes from the Greek word Christos, which is a translation of the Hebrew word, Messiah. And the words Christ and Messiah both mean "The Anointed One," referring to the prophesied King and Savior.

Bible scholars tell us that God instituted a new dispensation about 2000 years ago, which came through the man Jesus, who, as the Bible points out, was also God in the flesh. Jesus himself fulfilled the Mosaic Law. He didn't abolish it; He fulfilled it by keeping the whole law. It was because He was God in the flesh that He was able to keep the law. We, as sinful man, could not. And cannot.

Additionally, being perfect, Jesus also represented the spotless lamb required for a sin offering. He also represented the spotless lamb required for the Passover. And yet those who were self-righteous – the Priests and teachers of the day – who, as humans were insecure, rather than be curious and look into what Jesus was saying, they stuck with their own interpretations of the Mosaic Law: they had Jesus crucified.

If you've read the Old Testament, you'll probably know a spotless lamb was required for the Passover. You'll also probably know a spotless lamb was required for a sin offering.  In the sin offering, the death of the lamb covered one's sins. And with the blood of the lamb at Passover, you'll recall the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had become slaves in Egypt, and God was bringing a plague of death across that  land.

Overpopulation is a threat to any country.  Because overpopulation is never good for a country.  When the population increases, the country's corruption, anti-politics, terrorism and various problems increase.  And most of the problems remain hidden from the government.  Moreover, when the population of a country increases, it becomes very difficult to provide food, shelter, education, medical care to the people of that country and no one gets equal services.  Moreover, more births result in more malnourished children and premature deaths of mothers.  Everything needs to be within limits, nothing is too good.
Overpopulation is a blessing to most Governments because this helps them to exploit the people more through the illegal taxes. What China and the like of Japan realized is that their populations grow rates have dwindled, mostly due to the earlier policies and high infertility rates. This also means the countries productivity power will drop in an attempt to compete with other superpowers for supremacy. This is the reason China had decided to make a complete U turn on it's earlier policies.

I don't think they care about food, shelter, education, medical care to the people  Cheesy

A dairy farmer cares about his cows. After all, he makes money from the milk they supply. But you are right. Government only cares about money and power. Benefits for the people are only an incidental side effect.

It's really nice to be young. But don't worry about it. You'll grow out of it.


See that's the thing. I remember Russia from the 1990s and before. A "Christian nation" did not describe it in the least.

But now it's important that it's seen as "Christian" so as to be compatible with the Republican voting base, so supporting Russia is compatible with the Republican voting base, so Trump's wishes are compatible with said voting base, so they will help him win the election.

So we have Republicans calling Russia "Christian" now. What a truly bizarre turn of events...


You have never heard of the Russian Orthodox Church? It's almost the same as the Roman Catholic Church, but with different leaders than the RCC Papacy. It has been there for ages. Look it up. Even if it is a State church, it attempts to follow the Bible and Christianity. If it IS a State church, that means that Russia is officially a Christian nation.

Additionally, which nation is more Christian? The US or Russia? WOKE is anti-Christian, at least anti-Bible-Christian. The US is full of WOKE. But Russia hasn't gotten past the Vodka stage, yet. So, it's debatable which country is more Christian.

Putin went to mass regarding the so-called ISIS terrorist thing. Why? Perhaps he is a Christian. But if he went for show and really isn't a Christian, there must be enough Christians in Russia that he had to do it to gain their respect.

Further, in Zechariah 6:8 in the Bible, God speaking to Zechariah:
Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”
While this might not be talking about Russia, Russia is certainly a land of the North.

More: the US has destroyed Ukraine way more than Russia. If Ukraine had surrender by the second month of the war, there would have been some several hundred fewer deaths there. Does this mean that the US is more Christian by pushing the war... which they actually pushed on Russia starting at least 2014?

Have you ever heard of Ivan Kupala Day? Throughout the Slavic countries - including Russia - this name is representative of John the Baptist. Certainly the holiday has been merged with paganism in some ways. But it shows that Christianity is there in the whole region.

The point is, Russia has always been Christian, and under Putin they are returning to whatever Christianity they had lost under Stalin.

All that Trump would do is bring the jobs back to the people of America.
Biden already brought them back.


Trump brought them back. Notice how they are going down with Biden? That's simply because Trump did such a good job that it took Biden this long to wreck it.

The one Trump slump was seen because of a Trump transition from one sort of business operation to another. If Trump had remained in office, the first year of his second term would have been way higher than Biden's first year, and would still be going up.

I am not surprised when the world government almost uses the covid 19 to destroy the world population which was not that effective.
There are many ways we can control over population through the control of birth rate and it is one of the things China is trying to meet up with so that over population would not make the country to run into over population which could be a big problem to the entire country. The movement of people from one region to the other can also increase the population of people in a particular region.

The leaders of the world want to concentrate the people in the cities, so they can milk them like a farmer milks cattle.

My point is, the oceans of the world cover about 70% of the surface of the Earth.

And governments agree with the people because they don't want to lose their services. People are slaves.

The word "Russia" is simply a term or name of a group of people who live on a piece of land. The fact that there are leaders who promote evil at times does not make all the people to be this way.

The only nation of the whole world that could possibly NOT be a nation of lies and evil, is one that has a vast majority of people who are Bible believing Christians, who DO as much as possible the good expressed in the New Testament of the Bible.

Russia isn't any worse or better than any average nation. In fact, since they have the Russian Orthodox Church, they have Jesus salvation because they promote it through the Bible that they believe in.

It is people who do not believe in the Bible and God and Jesus-salvation who are the evil liars. It is people who constantly defame other people or groups of people for no reason who are the evil liars. It seems that the leadership of Ukraine is trying to eradicate the Bible and religion from Ukraine.

I believe that one of the most essential things is to provide people's access to knowledge and education. When individuals have access to knowledge and the ability to create their own ideas, they are far less likely to be manipulated by those in authority. Furthermore, giving a place for free speech and dissent is critical; when people believe they have a voice and can speak out against injustice, they are far more empowered to combat oppression. Finally, ensuring that there is an independent justice system that can hold those in power responsible is also crucial; when people perceive that the rule of law is respected, they are more inclined to trust the system and less likely to be deceived.

Good points. You can bring the Bible and the rule of law to people, but if they do not read it and understand it, what good is it?

Russian people have always understood and revered God. Even if Putin was faking it when he went to church regarding the dead in the recent terrorist thing, he did it because he knows that the people believe in God. Personally, I think Putin has become a believer over the years.

But the point is the people. During the times of the USSR, the Russian people were constantly calling to Americans for help, and warning Americans to watch out for a similar kind of takeover in America. They understood the rule of law, and the foundation of humanity that it is based on. They understood that the leaders were often the criminals.

So, somebody calling even the majority of the Russian people bad, is a mistaken thing. Check out who such people are who call Russians bad, and why they are writing/speaking like that. You will probably find that they are promoters of terrorism, themselves.

Ukraine is done for right now. Ukraine, itself is a long lost nothing. As the US and Nato fail, where are you going to go or be? You would be safer saying nothing, and quietly moving to Russia.

318  Other / Off-topic / Re: Looking for a cofounder for a cryptocurrency project on: March 30, 2024, 07:03:07 PM
I kinda would like a crypto that works like this. And I am just saying this off the top of my head. So, if I thought it out in detail, I might change some things.

A coin that is stable, 1 to 1, with the USD or other strong currency.

A wallet that can only be obtained from someone who already has one. There would be no wallet source, except that the code would be up on a bunch of websites so that people could compare their wallet to it to see if they had a real wallet for this coin... or copy it (maybe) to make one for themselves.

There would be no mining or minting.

The only way people could get coins would be to borrow them from somebody who already had a wallet. But the borrowing would, also, be a creation of new coins rather than real lending. So, the lender wouldn't actually be lending anything.

Repayment of the so-called borrowed coins would be done to the so-called lender, and could be done using some of the coins, themselves(?), or with another coin/token, or fiat currency. There would be no interest over the term of 'repayment'.

At the end of the term, the borrower would receive back his whole repayment amount, but only if he had repaid in a timely manner, according to the repayment schedule. But the repayment of funds would not come from the lender. Rather, it would be another creation of new coin.

The blockchain would exist only to limit the number of loans made, so that the coin would not inflate too fast. New coin creation would be based on a formula:
1. Similar to the Bitcoin mining difficulty;
2. Taking into account the number of borrowers with relation to the number of coins in existence;

The whole operation, wallets and coins, would be under PMA (Private Membership Association) rules, with the language built right into the wallets, and with each transaction being its own new PMA, the difference between them being the hash. This would make it totally private, outside of government control in the US, and according to privacy laws of each country wherein the coin was used. Note that what people do behind closed doors can remain private for a long time.

Participants might need to be registered in a database, simply for the purpose of keeping participants from maintaining multiple wallets, and inflating the coin too rapidly, thereby. However, there might be other methods for limiting inflation.

Because of a possible high rate of inflation, the coin would be built to be spent rather than to be stored for future value. This should be written as a strong warning, right in the wallet. However, there would really be no loss through inflation, since the coin is created anew each time it is loaned. BUT, store value in gold, silver, land, etc., rather than this coin - and maybe any other crypto coin/token.

So, how's that for a start... for bringing usable money into the free market, and out from under control of the wealthy. Remember, this is just an idea so far. It needs work in the idea department. And the coding would take as much work as Bitcoin before its launch, and in the early days.

Where is the point when assisted suicide can be called murder on the one who did the assisting? If somebody says, "Use your gun to kill me," is such a death really suicide?

When somebody makes a machine that a person can use to kill himself, to what extent is it murder by the machine maker? For example. A gun maker isn't making guns for people to use to kill themselves. But the gun maker knows that some people will use the guns that way. Btw, Switzerland has more guns per capita than almost any other nation.

On the other hand, when somebody makes a machine for the purpose of using it to kill himself, not everybody will use it that way. Some people will opt for a gun, instead. So, is it intent on the part of the machine maker that makes him a murderer? Or is it only the machine user who is the murderer... if he successfully does the job, that is?
