Trump Indicted . . .

Interesting Holy Week comparison....

Jesus entered the city on a donkey, only to be crucified for being claimed a King of the Jews.

Then 3 days later, WHAM! He comes back and starts a movement that engulfs the World.

Then there is the Trump story to compare....hmmmmm.

I think there is going to be a movie.

 

I believe the distinction you are looking for here is the value of wisdom versus the value of science. Being a scientist I understand that logic tells you that unmeasured results are no results at all. I tend to lean towards the old carpenter that eyeballs all his cuts and seldom needs to measure them. He arrived at that place through experience and wisdom.

It's telling just how hard the right comes out against assessment and measurement. The facts are never in your favor after all. If they were, you'd be jumping up and down to measure your policy successes at every junction." You just had to make this political so now I'll add that when the "as mesured facts" are not in the left's favor, THEY LIE ABOUT IT AND THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT MEDIA COVERS UP THEIR LIE!

@GeneWright,

The profound ignorance of your youth and the bias of any higher education you may claim has blinded you and your worthless, ignorant, girlie-men ilk that post on PL who will not engage to answer direct questions that would expose their ignorance.

Ignorant folks with science degrees (apparently you) are different from folks with science degrees who have made the study of politics for hours a day for the last thirty years a hobby (me). Intelligent, informed, political junkies OF ALL, SOCIAL, RELIGIOUS, and RACIAL MAKEUP (including scientists) have come to realize this simple truth: THERE ARE THINGS ON EARTH and in the Universe THAT CANNOT BE MEASURED.

That's all the time I have for you right now son, so let THAT sink in. A smart scientist should under staand what I wrote. Now, why don't we go back to my direct question to you in hopes you can answer for that other politicaly ignorant member as a test of your political knowledge...

I challenge you to post what Trump has done while POTUS to hurt this country aside from the democrat lie that he incited athe 1/6 riot.

Then if you really wish to show everyone that you are not a biased, democrat, apologist AND SPREADER OF LIES...

I challenge you to post several things Biden has done as POTUS that have hurt YOUR COUNTRY!

Have a great day, I'll be waiting.

 

You're a kid who hasn't really garnered much wisdom via experience. I don't mean that as a disparagement; it's simply a fact. Kids aren't expected to have wisdom until they've experienced life and its multitude of offerings. True, even older folks sometimes don't have wisdom, but that's usually because of shortsightedness or prejudice. You've been taught and led by someone who leans far-left and that, in itself, shelters you from the full spectrum. I would say the same of someone who was taught by someone who leans far-right, too. You have, hopefully, many years ahead of you to absorb wisdom. Hint: It isn't something that's taught in books.

 

Alvin Bragg:
I was against the indictment before I was for it.

 

I just think it's funny that "wisdom" here always seems to be code for "what I believe to be true either without or despite the evidence"

 

Did Bragg and others ever decide to not bring charges? Tell us the wisdom and then back it with evidence. While you’re at it, did the pornstar ever state she never had sexual relations with Trump? Why is it a nuisance settlement when it’s a democrat but it’s hush money when it’s a republican? Why did stormy take 130 when Paula got 850? Why did Comey spend 40 minutes telling the nation about all the laws Hillary broke yet say no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges?

@GeneWright , YOU CANNOT CHART WISDOM; MEASURE IT; AND VERY OFTEN, EVEN COMPREHEND IT! However, even most ignorant dummies can answer a direct question - even if
it is "I DON'T KNOW!"

PS This response from you ("I just think it's funny that "wisdom" here always seems to be code for "what I believe to be true either without or despite the evidence") is EXACTLY what we are posting about.

BTW, you have claimed to everyone on this forum that you have had some of your opinions changed; YET WHEN ASKED TWICE BY ME TO PROVIDE THE EVIDENCE WITH EXAMPLES YOU IGNORED THE QUESTION. Usless members don't engage. Liars are often shown to be liars by their silence. Are you a non-engaging, useless, member? Are you a liar?

Is Joe Biden a liar? Tell all of us what you think Biden has done to better your life or make America great?

 

Well, Gene…. That’s because every generation until now has been taught that wisdom is an invaluable resource. Heck, there are books in the Bible dedicated to teaching the value of wisdom. Read the very first passage in the book of Proverbs and you will see what I mean. Seeking the wisdom of those that trod the path before you is life lesson that pays rich dividends. Having Google at our fingertips does not replace the wisdom gained from life experience.

 

I understand that, and even may value it more than you think, but not in every realm equally. In policy, we need to measure outcomes and test how well things work to inform future decisions. We can't run on pure intuition and hope.

 

I missed the learning and experience part in life, that concluded wisdom is intuition and hope.

Strawman...using the folly of conclusion of the non-life experience young.

 

LOL, Words, words, and more words BUT NOT ONE ANSWER TO DIRECT QUESTIONS. It's the democrat way. Your ilk lies to spend time talking about, trying to measure, trying to decide, worrying about stuff, AND DOING NOTHING. On the rare n occasion when you guys do something, it screws things up.

Ask me a direct question to give you the EXACT examples and I'll show you and the dancing, useless members that crap all over the discussions how a discussion forum works when knowledgeable, members are involved. There are too many, ignorant, biased, non-engaging girlie-men around here as it is!

 

“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”

― George Orwell

 

Yes, this applies to leftists like yourself. MD is not claiming that he is superior to the previous generations. Orwell was prophetic and he was describing exactly what people on the left are doing.

 

Why, your just a walking talking genius for a plumber. So what's your excuse old man? Don't you ever have an original idea ?

Back on point.... I never had to deal with the criminal legal system before. What occurs now? As I understand he is in New York to face these charges. Does he appear before a judge to make a plea today?

 

Conservative talk radio has gone thru the entire process several times. Today is just the charges. Predictions are for this to take almost two years to wind thru all the courts. This cannot be about Stormy as that is a nothing burger. They must have a lot of things to tack on.

Trump is the best thing to bail out the fake news networks.

 

Bragging? Quite a bit? Seems to me that mention of my profession has emerged little more than twice or three times in 8 years, and only in the context of discussions of the moment.

Anonymity? . . . Am I supposed to take that to mean I would lay claim to accomplishments not my own because others cannot check the veracity of my claims? . . . Or am I supposed to take that as I'll say things on Partisan Lines that I wouldn't say to one's face?

If the former, fine . . . look me up with the New Hampshire Registry . . . you already know my name. Just don't broadcast information about me publicly . . . you've been admonished for that once already.

If the latter, I tell everyone who will listen that college is not affordable, not because kids can't afford the loans, but because colleges charge too much.

The only time I've mentioned my education is when you or others of the same mind accuse me of denigrating education because I don't value it. Nothing, and I mean nothing could be further from the truth. I cash-flowed my two daughters through 10 1/2 collective years of university education, and paid my own way through an additional 5, so don't go spouting off about something you know nothing of.

I love education, but it's not born in, and not essential that it be conveyed only in the classroom environment.

Trouble for you is, if you don't confine education to the classroom, you can't control how much is charged for it, and therefore cannot maximize how much you pry from the wallets of guilt-ridden parents.

 

IMO, if the non-engaging BIG TROLL paid money for any "place claiming to educate (plumber school excepted)" he needs to ask for a refund.
