@gentoobro @Snidely_Whiplash @IAMAL_PHARIUS @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Marshall1Banana > It would require the elimination of a lot of handouts, something that is politically extremely difficult.

Politicians don't care about the loss of handouts. They care about the loss of control caused by shrinking the federal government.

That's what makes it politically untenable, not the loss of the handouts.

The gib-me-dat's aren't going to vote for anyone besides the democrats. They can just say "we were outvoted" and they'll keep getting their votes. It's the republicans that won't give up the power.

Only worked towards balancing the budget, never paying off the debt.

We need to run a 20% surplus to put towards the debt.

I know. And once the current government falls or is overthrown future generations will quite rightly simply repudiate the debt.

@Snidely_Whiplash @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @IAMAL_PHARIUS @Marshall1Banana Paying off the federal debt would be easy and wouldn't take any longer than accumulating it did.

In 2023 the federal government took in $4.5T and spent $6.2T. Simply cut federal spending by 33% and put any excess funds towards paying off the deficit. The next years budget is based on 80% of last years revenues (or projected revenues if they're lower).

It merely takes the will to do so. Something no US politician has had since at least the 1950's.

@EssentialUtinsil @Escoffier @sickburnbro > the temple veil tearing in two at the moment of Jesus' death is also pretty clear

The traditional meaning of that event is that with Christ's death the payment for our sins was made and that God could once again dwell with man.

The veil was what separated the inner temple where God dwelt from the portion accessible to everyone. Only the priests who had been ritually purified of their sins could enter past the veil.

Once Christ paid the price of our sins for us, we all became acceptable in the eyes of God and the veil was unnecessary.

@Escoffier @sickburnbro > and ole' John has declared that Jews do not require Jesus to be saved.

Without Christ's sacrifice no one could be saved. If John believes otherwise he's not even remotely a Christian.

That said, an argument could be made that a jew who actually upheld the original covenant would still be saved by Christ's sacrifice, even if he didn't accept Christ as the Messiah. There's only one problem: There is no longer a Temple at which to make the required sacrifices. Whoops.

Why does Hagee think God allowed the Temple to be destroyed? He probably has no idea. The answer is that he did so to make it clear that the original covenant was no longer available as an option.

But Grxg is a hotdog consumer. 🤔

He just draws the line at finely cooked and seasoned tomato paste.

He also puts pineapple on pizza, the heathen. 🤬

In many cases even the judges don't know the relevant law.

Like that old favorite:

"Oh what fun it is to sing a slaying song tonight."

What do you mean that's not what it says?

Correct. Or your blood relative. I would assume both are covered.

Have you noticed that when ministers preach on this topic the subject of who your brother is almost never comes up? 🤔

You'd fit right in in Charleston, WV.

If a dog doesn't have slaw they don't consider it edible.

I'm a chili, cheese, and ketchup guy.

Both ducks and geese render a *lot* of fat. Much worse than chicken or turkey.

Not a bad thing at all. But if you're not prepared for it there might be a lot of oven cleaning involved. Yes, this is the voice of experience speaking.

@TrevorGoodchild @transgrammaractivist > And yet Dread and I and others figured out the fix was in months ago.

Yep, and while I agreed with you about the A/B divide, I had reservations as to whether team B would be able to stop team A from stealing it again.

You both were right and I was wrong.

I'm still hoping team A completely loses it once Trump is sworn in and begins pushing really hard for liberal secession.
