US Politics Thread

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Sean Hannity and all the Maga commentators are saying that Biden’s speech was so powerful he must have been on Drugs.

Wait till they try to ban contraception and ‘recreational sex’ or introduce criminal law into gay relationships. They have talked about all this. Frightening. Pity the gay man enjoying a little recreational sex while wearing a condom.

Not a bad speech at all. But will never take the US seriously until politicians stop mentioning god.

No God, no getting elected. Sad, but true in 99% of locations even today.

He will. He's said numerous times give him the house along with another term and he'll increase SCOTUS.

Nope. Won’t happen. RBG did the country a disservice when she had the chance to continue being a champion of Americans and chose herself.

It doesn’t trump everything, but we have yet to see atheism, or not espousing religion, being an integral part of any campaigns of which I’m aware.

I was thinking more of places like India, certain African countries, Iran, Saudi etc

Obviously god is not mentioned at election time in the UK. Blair's spin doctor Alastair Campbell famously advised when George Bush wanted to meet Tony in a cathedral, 'we don't do god'.

With the added irony that they then ignore virtually all of the tenets of the faith they claim to follow.
