Jesus and his disciples walk into a bar

Bartender: So what do you want?
Peter: Water, please
Bartender *slides him a glass of water* Oh, so you are driving?
Peter: No but watch Jesus
Jesus: *turns water into wine right in front of bartender*
Bartender: You're the Son of God? No way!
Jesus: YAHWEH!

Good grief. Maybe Nikki should have said "people who were brought here in chains against their will, who many believe it was OK to own as personal property."

Would that have helped?

Maybe she should have said "Why are you asking me that stupid question? Next."

[Strange Brew]

The first state to secede was South Carolina. In their declaration to do so, they "specifically mentioned"



I think she flubbed it, and gave her opponents ammunition. Was easy to say slavery and go onto other things. Sort of like Palin being asked what newspapers she read.

Yes, and four score and seven years ago. What is your point?

Good Grief!

So, your point was to make a cheap attack against a candidate who would wipe the floor vs the current President in an election.
Why are you progressive libs so scared???

Will Biden double down on stupid to drag the world into WWIII in order to hide his corruption?

Why is he funding Putin with higher oil prices? Why not drill American oil and drive down prices, that is, if you really wanted to WIN a war against Putin?



JEFFREY SACHS, American economist:

"Ukraine is now undergoing a massacre. Russia dominates the battlefield. In recent weeks, we have heard many details about how the United States prevented an agreement between Ukraine and Russia that would have freed Ukraine from this conflict. And the US prevented this because they told the Ukrainians to continue fighting. And the Ukrainians lost hundreds of thousands of people.

Two people - Zaluzhny and Zelensky - are essentially in the US’s pocket. The US funds them and tells them to fight. It turned out to be a bloodbath and a disaster. And this continues and will continue. This is the ultimate goal. And it's a shame for Biden, who instigated all this, because Biden stopped negotiations that would have ended the conflict in March or April 2022. Now this topic is widely covered.

We talked about this a few months ago because I heard about it directly from Turkish negotiators and other people. But now this news has reached the public. In other words, this conflict is causing disaster in Ukraine and massive costs for the United States, and serves no useful purpose.

Biden deliberately delayed it as part of a completely misjudged plan that he would weaken Russia, but he did the exact opposite. He strengthened Russia, contributed to a large-scale modernization of Russian military technology and an increase in the size of the Russian army. And all this was predictable, but we have a completely incompetent administration."

Nothing cheap about it all. I pointed out she made a mistake, and gave her critics ammunition which she didn't have to do. She should have been smart enough as a seasoned politician to keep that negative press at bay.
I think she's running for second place to be on the ticket as the VP.
And if Trump's nonsense catches up to him with all the indictments, she'll be left standing as the party's nominee.
No reason to shoot yourself in the foot on your way to that place.

Totally cheap on an innocuous answer that if a Democrat said it you’d never mention it.
Just like all the stupid innocuous stuff that your President keeps saying daily. But somehow nothing comes out of your keyboard about this 3 1/2 year stumble brain mumble.
When will Joe hold a full press conference?

Biden noted the Christ child came to give peace, love, and hope to the world.
Trump wished others to rot in hell in his Christmas message.

You decide which one is better. I wasn't talking about either one of them.

I made a comment about Nikki Haley
