Please see the Christian Existentialist philosophy I write and preach in Austin (link in profile). In the true Kierkegaardian sense, we must find God’s reflection in outer reality, meditate on it within our Will (or Dasein if you prefer Heidegger), and then reflect it out back into the world as decisive action. That is how we give up the original sin of free will and perform God’s Will. Also God’s direct commands let us suspend the ethical, even his commandments, to perform what must be done. This is shown in the story of Abraham and Isaac, and proved out to be true by Kierkegaard in his masterwork Fear and Trembling. Most Christian Existentialists agree that there is direct evidence that God intended for homosexuality to be fine, but not transgenderism as it is not reflected by science in any human genetics.

Check out my profile to see what I believe. I’ve been converting the Austin youth to Existential Christianity by the dozens. Not to mention fundraising a massive amount for TPUSA. It made me a huge target for the atheist Antifa thugs. Not hard to see honestly.

Relax, I don’t wish any harm on trans people, it is just my personal Christian opinion that they are confused and need help. Over half the country agrees with me, and I don’t see much good coming out if debating it with someone like you.

Bullshit, I’ve been on the Austin branch of Antifa’s hit list for 2 years now. They thankfully stopped stalking me when I installed cameras all over my house and car and startef conceal carrying. They are a bunch of wannabe tough guys who can’t shoot for shit. You would think they would hit the shooting range like the rest of us, but they have zero common sense and only care about ideals.

Depends if you are talking US or worldwide. I mean a US Centrist.

I only did the first time, which I regretted. I sure as hell wasn’t going to vote for Hillary, that snake.

By the US definition a Centrist would vote Democrat or Republican a roughly equal amount of times. I tend to be a traditional Democrat on social issues (not the populist Antifa nonsense), and a traditional Republican on economic issues (not the populist MAGA nonsense). This means at least for presidents my votes have been Bush, Bush, Obama, Obama, Trump, Biden, Harris. So I’ve tended slightly to the left on presidents. I’ve also tended to vote slightly to the right on governors and congressmen. Abbott has done a lot of good for Texas as an example, though I’ve always voted against Ted Cruz. Hope this helps!

Finally something that affects those of us on the up-end of the K shaped economy. I warned all my Centrist friends that if they voted Trump his bad economic policies would eventually rise up to affect them. Yet, I was the only Centrist I know of in all of Austin, TX who voted for Kamala. The rest of the Centrists were too worried about trans dudes taking over women’s sports and bathrooms, and said they had enough money to withstand, “whatever Trump does with the economy.” Fucking idiots, they could have saved the economy and the best BBQ in Texas (which is Austin of course).

I would prefer Mark Kelly, but she’s way better than Newsom at least.

He’s certainly right up there with Stephen Miller and Kash Patel for the worst of the worst!

It’s both for sure. It was originally started by the Cuban government and made progressively worse by sanctions.

btsax covers it pretty well in his response. If you have a side business where you can show losses most of the time punctuated by an occasional year of gains, that’s really the best strategy. If you have losses in 3 out of any 5 consecutive tax years the business gets downgraded to a hobby and you can no longer use the losses to offset personal income. So if you know accounting tricks to delay or accelerate income you can have 2 years if steeo losses and 3 years of tiny gains for every 5 year period.

He hates and abuses the hell out of his sons, the same way his father abused the hell out of him. The Trump family is generational trauma made manifest. I don’t think Trump would have ever been a nice or good guy, but who knows how much less evil he would be without a terribly abusive father?

He would even take her dress shopping if she lets him bust into the changing room whenever he wants.

It’s infuriating that Trump thinks that he can somehow make a deal that involves Iran giving up it’s uranium. It is NEVER going to happen, no matter how badly Diaper Donnie begs for it. Iran would rather be erased off the face of the earth than concede to a depraved Western president like Trump. He is literally the embodiment of everything they hate about the West.

CPA here who does taxes for hedge funds and PE firms. The tax code is an absolute joke that hurts the middle class and lets the rich get away with paying almost nothing. We all knew that already, just confirming that it is true.
