If making mistakes excludes people from speaking and discussing any subject, in your heart and mind... then, okay, some people are hard-hearted in that way. I get it.I never thought the “ability“ to recognize a chair and it’s correct usage, would ever be a criterion in the fitness of a Candidate for High Office in this land but here we are.
If this is what passes for cogent political thought in 2024, count me out.
I love being corrected, and I want to love others as I would want to be loved. Corporate media sells sound bites. So, I would be grateful to you if you would advise me where you feel I have accused people of things that I do, lest I am unjust.Why accuse people of things that you do? What's in your heart that would cause you to behave this way?
You have displayed humility here. This is RARE!! in the current political environment, and it gives me hope. You could have just said nothing, but you acknowledged the facts and even thanked me. I can predict that you are in line to be exalted by God, and in fact already have been exalted in part, by seeing the truth.You were right.
I was wrong and I bought into totally fabricated propaganda.
Thank you for showing me a clip that shows things that the pundits failed to do.
I can't speak for Pommer, but I don't think he was trying to goad you. It's just funny that the presidential race comes down to whether a person can sit down to everyone's approval.If making mistakes excludes people from speaking and discussing any subject, in your heart and mind... then, okay, some people are hard-hearted in that way. I get it.
Your goading/personal attacks are not appreciated, other than it betrays weakness.
“What am I doing here?”"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

Donald J Trump from July 2016....
Funny.Beautiful company, beautiful, guy’s been doing it for 50 years, sells hundreds of boats, they use Mercury engines, they want to take that out, they want to make it all-electric, I asked, “How is it?” He said, ‘It’s a problem, sir, they want us to make all electric boats, the problem is, the boat is so heavy, it can’t float.’ I said, ‘that sounds like a problem.’ He said, ‘also it can’t go fast because of the weight, and they want to now have a 50 mile or 70 mile radius, you have to go out 70 miles before you can really start the boat up, and you go out at two knots, that’s essentially almost like two miles an hour.’ I said, ‘How long does it take you to get out there?’ He said, ‘many hours, and then you’re allowed to go around for ten minutes, and then you have to come back, because the battery only lasts a very short period of time.’ So I said, ‘let me ask you a question,’ and he said, 'nobody has ever asked this question,’ and it must because of MIT, my relationship to MIT. ‘Very smart,’ he goes. I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you’re in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery’s now under water, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there — by the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that? Lotta shark attacks — I watched some guys justifying it today, ‘well they weren’t really that angry, they bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were … not hungry but they misunderstood who she was.’ These people are crazy.’ He said, ‘there’s no problem with sharks, they just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming,’ No, really got decimated and other people too, a lot of shark attacks, so I said, ‘there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards, or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?’ Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer, he said, ‘you know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.’ I said, ‘I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water.’ But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that, we’re going to end it for boats, we’re going to end it for trucks.Donald J. Trump, June 2024
When I said Trump didn't "SAY", I meant 'say' the words that specify that 'The neo nazis were the cause of the horrible violence we saw'. Instead, Trump obfuscated by saying 'on all sides'. "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides." <----This is drawing a moral equivalence.
But they didn't use their car to try and kill people. False moral equivalence.
You only made an assertion that since Trump said all sides, that would include the neo nazis, inferring that somehow that's not drawing a moral equivalence. But that's actually the reason why people saw he was drawing a moral equivalence. Now had he said something like, "We denounce the hatred and bigotry and violence that killed a young woman", that would have been crystal clear.
Neo-Nazis and white supremacists came to Charlottesville to protest the taking down of a confederate statue that to them was a very important symbol of culture in the southern states.
Violence broke out. As pertains to levels of violence, there is no moral equivalence between using a car as a weapon to mow down peaceful protestors, and two groups facing off with clubs.
There's no moral equivalence between neo nazi white supremacist ideology and those who would stand up against that ideology. There is no moral equivalence between the hatred and bigotry that white antisemitic neo-Nazis show and those who hate the hatred and bigotry of white antisemitic neo-Nazis.
Having said that, I grant you that in this video Biden clearly does deny that Trump had excluded the nazis when Trump had said there were fine people on both sides.
But did you stop to think that Joe might be referring to this exchange before calling him a liar?
Reporter: “Mr. President, are you putting what you’re calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?”
Trump: “I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this: You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs — and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch.
“But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the left — you just called them the left — that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.
Reporter: (Inaudible) “… both sides, sir. You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides. Are the — “
Trump: “Yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. If you look at both sides — I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say.”
Reporter: “The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest — “
Trump: “Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves — and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”
Yes, it is perception. Nonetheless, the cynic sees things different than the pure of heart and they project that cynicism onto others.
Believe it or not, all of the verses are about projection.
We all project who we are, particularly in how we judge others. The carnal mind projects carnal vanity. We all project an image of God/god. If it's the god of this world, that says do it to them before they do it to you, then we project that onto others. If we project the Character of Christ, then we see others as ourselves and we love others as ourselves.
Projection is a psychological process whereby an individual unconsciously projects their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto someone else. It is a defense mechanism that people use to cope with and decrease internal stress. Projection can be used to describe defensive projection, which is attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. In psychoanalytical theory, projection is the process whereby one subject believes they see attributes (both good and bad) in another.
Example of projecting cynicism:
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Just not ha ha funny, given that voters actually think this is what leadership looks like.Funny.
An out of context sentence fragment is really the best evidence that Biden is the worse candidate? Seems like a bit of desperation.“What am I doing here?”

"Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebt to him for stating what needed to be said. I am particularly glad that these lovely children are here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed the courage little seen in this day and age." -Olsen Johnson:Beautiful company, beautiful, guy’s been doing it for 50 years, sells hundreds of boats, they use Mercury engines, they want to take that out, they want to make it all-electric, I asked, “How is it?” He said, ‘It’s a problem, sir, they want us to make all electric boats, the problem is, the boat is so heavy, it can’t float.’ I said, ‘that sounds like a problem.’ He said, ‘also it can’t go fast because of the weight, and they want to now have a 50 mile or 70 mile radius, you have to go out 70 miles before you can really start the boat up, and you go out at two knots, that’s essentially almost like two miles an hour.’ I said, ‘How long does it take you to get out there?’ He said, ‘many hours, and then you’re allowed to go around for ten minutes, and then you have to come back, because the battery only lasts a very short period of time.’ So I said, ‘let me ask you a question,’ and he said, 'nobody has ever asked this question,’ and it must because of MIT, my relationship to MIT. ‘Very smart,’ he goes.

I often say when public speaking off the cuff "what am I trying to say here?" when I'm collecting my thoughts.An out of context sentence fragment is really the best evidence that Biden is the worse candidate? Seems like a bit of desperation.
LOL.
"So vote for Biden, the proven racist, narcissist and liar instead?"
Let's take a different approach since your semantics on projection is off kilter.
Prove that Biden is a racist, narcissist and liar. You said it is proven, so post the facts, or withdraw you attack on the President.
Red herring because although it is true she was not on the jury for Trump's trial, you made a statement suggesting that Biden was not a sexual abuser. If Biden were to be tried in the same way Trump was, it would not be some random woman testifying about something that happened in a changing room. Nor would Biden's daughter be on the jury. But Biden's daughter would be the one testifying against him. That alone makes Biden worse than Trump. Biden, in my opinion is a pedophile, which is far worse than anything Trump was accused of.Red herring.
Please read these underlined words below.What Trump is saying is true. You are conflating beliefs with actions. While Trump is talking solely about actions that day.
Let's be honest, you do not know the side that was protesting the hatred and bigotry started the physical fights. We all know there was violence between two sides at the unite the right rally, but that doesn't necessarily mean there's equal blame. Expressing your disgust or chanting shame at the hatred and bigotry of the nazis and white nationalists doesn't make you them. And finally, the lawsuit against the unite the right rally found the organizers liable for the violence that occurred there. The blame was adjudicated in a court of law.Of course a person protesting nazis are not morally equivalent to a nazi in terms of beliefs, but when they started physical and verbal fights, throw insults and threats etc. the same as the nazis, they have lowered themselves down to the nazis level.
Trump: "I think there's blame on both sides" And he was right.
Everyone knew about the incident. It was captured on video. It happened after the clashes between white nationalist factions and the counter-protesters earlier that day. Trump made his remarks more than two hours after the incident.Was Trump aware of this incident at this time? Did he know it was deliberate at the time? Was he even asked about this incident?
I think Trump was smart not to talk about something he wasn't fully informed about, because he doesn't always do this.
Exactly, Biden was responding to a reporter asking a loaded question. You have to understand what a loaded question is. This is a loaded question---> Are you aware you're a moron? If you answer yes, you're a moron; and if you answer no, you're still a moron. Biden therefore denies he misquoted Trump, which is verified in the transcript below.Biden was referring to the question he was asked in that video.
"Mr. vice president are you aware that you're misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville, he never called neo-nazis very fine people."
I didn't say it was. I said this is projection in scripture. An example of cynicism at work was provided in the post.Yes but this verse isn't showing projecting cynicism onto others.
You're right, I don't believe it, cause it's not showing projection. You're own definition you posted proves my point.
The way the carnal mind works is in vain comparisons with others that either makes them (the one's with the carnal mind) feel good about themselves or bad about themselves. So, because these people found fault with others whether they were eating and drinking or not eating and drinking, then they are projecting their canal vanity onto others. It's a defense mechanism because it makes them feel better about themselves when they find fault with others. Also, a symptom of narcissism."Projection is a psychological process whereby an individual unconsciously projects their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto someone else. It is a defense mechanism that people use to cope with and decrease internal stress."
None of the verses you posted describe this.
I didn't say you were projecting for Trump. I said: It means you're projecting a negative prejudice through which you slander Biden, as a defense mechanism. Since Trump is a known liar who displays a racist, narcissistic, carnal mindset, you project that you want to make Biden look the same so that you can rationalize liking Trump.This debunks your claim that I was projecting for Trump, since by definition projection is always done in the first person.
So it would be impossible for me to project for Trump as you and JustOneWay accused me of, since I don't know Trump's thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. The only one who could project Trump onto Biden is Trump himself.
There's a difference between lies and gaffes and misspeaking.Biden's lies compiled by Politifact:

At one time Biden was against forced bussing. He wasn't a segregationist, but he worked with some who were for segregation whom he had befriended. If I recall correctly, Biden's explanation of why he was against forced bussing is because he did not believe in the principle that you could eliminate race discrimination through legislation. He worked with segregationists to craft legislation with a more gradual approach to integration, rather than all or nothing.Biden's history of racist comments:
In 1977 he said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
That's stereotyping, not racism. The full quote reads: "I've had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking.” Biden continued to say the “30% of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are Indian-American”.In 2006 he said, “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
In 2007 he referred to Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.”
Let me say something here about racism.In 2020 he said while talking to a black interviewer "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
You can't trust a blind man to tell you who sees and doesn't see. The sick mind can diagnose the healthy mind as the sick mind. People project their own insecurities onto others.Biden's narcissism by someone who understands narcissism firsthand:
“That's stereotyping, not racism.”There's a difference between lies and gaffes and mis-peaking.

If I recall correctly, Biden's explanation of why he was against forced bussing is because he did not believe in the principle that you could eliminate race discrimination through legislation. He worked with segregationists to craft legislation with a more gradual approach to integration, rather than all or nothing.
That's stereotyping, not racism.
It's wrong to take snippets from what was actually said and insinuate something negative from it. Heres what Biden actually said, and in context.
Biden said of his fellow Democratic candidate, Obama, "I mean, you got the first SORT OF mainstream African-American." An unidentified reporter responded, "Yeah." Biden continued, "... who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
The context shows Biden is referring to Obama as the first "sort of" mainstream candidate for President who is African American. And the descriptive terms of articulate, bright, clean and nice looking, are referring to the Persona that Obama exuded, and also his looks.
So, if you think Biden is implying that African Americans are usually inarticulate, stupid, dirty, and ugly, then you're deceived. If you tell other people this is proof he is racist, you're spreading misinformation.
Let me say something here about racism.
(1) The term racism implies a discrimination against someone, according to their race/stock/ethnicity. It qualifies as a form of negative prejudice. Hence race theory is based in believing one's genetic makeup determines who is the greater person. It therefore is also a form of carnal vanity.
(2) Skin color white or black etc... is not a qualifier for a race because it does not denote any race of people or ethnicity. However, discriminating against someone according to their skin color, does qualify as a negative prejudice, just like racism does.
(3) There is a culture of African Americans that came out of slavery to white slave owners, which as a unique culture some identify as Black. It does not mean to imply skin color but rather a culture and a mindset. This causes semantical confusion since when they say White, it is also a mindset meaning it does not know what it means to be Black (come out of slavery).
So, when Biden says. "If you're having a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, you ain't Black", it's not a negative prejudice. If you believe this is negative prejudice against Blacks, you're mistaken. And to insinuate that Biden is a racist who supports race theory, is slander.
You can't trust a blind man to tell you who doesn't see. The sick mind can diagnose a healthy mind as sick. People project their own insecurities onto others.
You didn't know that there was a time when it was common to find an Indian (from India) working in a seven-eleven? I saw it many times. It's not a cut down to Indians.“That's stereotyping, not racism.”
That’s delusional.
