I don’t know. How many times is the number that would make him a praying person? Do you not hear how judgmental and ridiculous you sound? |
PP here (also a Dem). Sorry if I misunderstood you. We're all getting a bit touchy these days, for understandable reasons. Regarding the Teamsters, I know people in that world and O'Brien is a bit of a maverick. Most blue-collar unions have memberships that reflect the partisan split of the country as a whole. It's smart of him politically vis-a-vis his own union (he's in an elected position) to appear to be open to being courted by both sides--the Dems and the GOP--given that half his members are probably MAGA. I would be very surprised if, ultimately, his union endorses Trump. But anything's possible. In the meanwhile, he got off some great lines about how big business screws workers. At times, Trump and members of the audience appeared uncomfortable with what he was saying, given the GOP's love of big business. And he raised his personal profile. Here's some insight from the WP: "Some labor experts say O’Brien could feel pressure to consider the membership’s diverse political leanings, because he won the union’s top office in 2021 after running as a reform candidate who promised more member involvement in union decision-making. O’Brien is also aware that many rank-and-file Teamsters are Republicans — and Trump supporters, experts say." |
Please cite some examples of the bolded. I think we would all love to learn about these instances of kindness and generosity. |
I highly doubt that you would love to learn about some of these, but here you go… https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-quiet-acts-kindness/ |
I can't think of a single time the press has shown him at church aside from that weird "this is a bible" moment by St. Johns. They routinely used to show the Clintons walking to that same church on Sundays. There are photos of the Obama family there as well. We've definitely seen the Bidens at their church, too. |
Check those dates. 1988!?!?! Come on. |
As someone who's watched Trump in action since the 1990s, when he "gives to charity" or "does something nice" it's usually part of a grift and he's getting 10x more in return somewhere else. |
Here's Trump discussing his favorite bible verses...
Trump was asked to name "one or two of your most favorite Bible verses" during an interview on Bloomberg's television show "With All Due Respect" Wednesday. He wouldn't answer the question. "I wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal. You know, when I talk about the Bible, it's very personal, so I don't want to get into verses," Trump said, adding, "The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics." Later in the interview, host John Heilemann asked Trump if he was "an Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy." "Probably equal," Trump said. There's a YouTube video embedded in the link if you want to watch the exchange. ttps://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-refused-to-name-favorite-bible-verse-2015-8 |
There are plenty of newer ones. Come on. I just picked a website. I thought you would like. Anything about Biden doing anything nice for anyone at all ever? |
My 5 year-old lies more convincingly than Trump lol This was the equivalent of "my dog ate my homework" |
There is a reason there is no media coverage of Trump ever attending a church. Because...he doesn't. |
It reminded me of Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric when Katie asked her about what newspapers and magazines she read that had shaped her worldview — "All of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years." Here's the video--comedy gold! |
He tried to offer condolences to the widow of the victim from the shooting on Saturday, for starters. |
