  1.  @happycakes1946  That is false. Representative democracies, which is what we are, are forms of democracy.

  6.  @SeanD808  That's nice dear. We're still a form of democracy.

  9. ​ @vmasing1965  "Makes it rather problematic for the Last Supper to "copy imagery" from something that didn't exist for 2 more centuries." Not really, since both use imagery from far earlier works. "It's also nice how you quietly passed by the holy halo problem." Learn to read: "And yes, The Feast of the Gods does depict someone at the centre with light shining from their head." Already explained. Thanks. "I also never mentioned the clothing or details of the painting" Sure, because then you would have to explain where the guy garbed in flowers was in The Last Supper. Why are religious nuts always such snowflakes?

  10. That sounds terrible.

  11. It's almost like he didn't ask for a big audience because it was televised. Imagine trying to get a big audience for something on the TV. It's like running print ads for a website.

  12.  @vmasing1965  The Last Supper literally copied imagery from The Feast of the Gods. Also, I've never seen a naked dude wearing flowers in The Last Supper. I also never saw a 6 foot wide plate of flowers and food. You know where you might find those things? And yes, The Feast of the Gods does depict someone at the centre with light shining from their head. Maybe go back and get a different degree.

  13.  @destinyclark4133  There was a single white horse, not 4 horses, and it was to symbolise the goddess of the river Seine...you know...in Paris. The performer was wrong, or trying to make some ulterior statement. How do you explain Dionysus on a 6 foot platter of multicoloured food and flowers wearing only flowers as "Christian"?

  14.  @destinyclark4133  So you agree it was in face Greco-Roman and not Christian. Thanks.

  15.  @isabelleskiss  Except she isn't the goddess of purity and justice. She is a healing diety of the river. As for symbolism, one thing for certain is that people looking to be offended will find a way.

  16.  @destinyclark4133  So Brett's video outright doesn't support anything you said. WDW refused to go to the Instagram page, then claims that a twitter post by another user, who is posting a screenshot of a post from some other person's page, is somehow proof of the real itinerary of the show. So you have a quote of a quote of a quote of something that is probably fake.

  17.  @destinyclark4133  Brett's sources disagree with your claims. Her need to add her own narrative is irrelevant. Wrong, WDW did not show an itinerary from the original account. The posted he mentions in his video in the screenshot does not match.

  33.  @slaayerr1  "Republics have a constitution which applies limiters to what people can vote for and pass." That's not the definition of a republic. "A democracy has very little limits meaning they can absolutely push for whatever they want as long as it looks like a majority is pushing it." Also not true. The two are not mutually exclusive, we are both. Democracies allow the people to vote for leaders, while republics allow the people to have power over the government. You can technically have a non-democratic republic by only allowing smaller and smaller portions of people to vote, for example only white male land owners like we used to do, but these days we are indeed a democracy.

  34.  @gr.vo.3058  Who said anything about a pure democracy? We democratically elect government representatives. This is a type of democracy.

  36.  @JamesBond-vn1gh  They're using the word loyalist because Trump is literally appointing his most loyal followers, regardless of their popularity of aptitude.

  37. ​ @Mclaren1976  Except his employee had already testified in Congress stating that Trump committed fraud.

  38. Unless you are wrongfully arrested, imprisoned with gang members, then tried in a kangaroo court controlled by the state.

  39. You realize that Obama fixed the jobs market right? He did a better job than Bush, reversed the job losses of the economic recession and added 11.5 million jobs. Republicans just really enjoy crashing economies.
    2
  40.  @Lonewanderer30  Well sure, he coasted right off Obama's economy without really doing anything other than growing the deficit. It's not surprising that he managed to make the economy slightly better than it already was. Obama however fixed the economy after the recession, reversing job losses and hitting a net gain. Trump however did the opposite, doing very little to improve the economy, and completely flopping at the first hurdle.

  41.  @Lonewanderer30  You mean the opinion piece that very clearly shows that Trump's economy was following Obama's trend? That evidence? That last jump in 2019 was from the tax cuts. Unfortunately it caused further deficit increases caused by massive tax cuts for corporations and millionaires which increasing the national debt by trillions, and did absolutely nothing for those too poor to pay taxes. By not funding those at the bottom you do little to actually stimulate growth in the economy, especially when the changes you have made cause artificial growth at the expense of the debt ceiling. So their definition of the "average" American family in the article is actually the families earning around the $65K range. Those on food stamps are completely unaffected. The same writer also stated a month later: "real median household income grew by a pathetic 0.4% from 1999 to 2016 and then rose 9.2% from 2016 to 2019. Comparing a long period to a short one can make for an arresting statistic but a potentially misleading one. If you look at just the period 2014 to 2016, you find faster improvement in that indicator than what was achieved under Trump. This also makes me skeptical that we can conclude that policy changes have had strongly positive effects." Maybe look into the situation more before being blinded by your hatred for Obama and Biden.

  42.  @Lonewanderer30  Keystone XL would not have saved money. We already have a pipeline going north and this new pipeline would have only exported oil, causing domestic oil prices to increase, not decrease. None of the 1.9 trillion is leaving the country, literally none of it. Seriously, if you actually believe that the aid package for vaccine deployment, schools, stimulus checks, financially vulnerable households and businesses is somehow going overseas then you're watching too much fake news. Obama literally created more jobs than Trump, both after and before COVID. In fact, Obama got the unemployment rate so low, it would be mathematically impossible for Trump to create more jobs than Obama, since Obama reduced unemployment by 5.2%, causing it to go to 4.7%. Unless Trump could somehow create so many jobs that unemployment was a -0.5%, which is obviously ridiculous, then Obama will always be the leading job creator. Can you list these destroyed jobs. The only ones I've seen substantiated are the Keystone XL ones, but they were all temporary and would do little for the economy. Only 35 permanent jobs were actually lost, and for a pipeline that's already in court for breaking Native American treaties. I posted a quote from the journalist you linked to in your "evidence" of a strong Trump economy from another one of his articles. Median household income growth was higher under Obama's last 2 years than in Trump's first 3.

  43.  @Lonewanderer30  Yes. See how it starts going up in 2014. Thanks Obama.

  44.  @Lonewanderer30  Well sure. Bush was coasting off a good economy as well, but he made the same mistake Trump did. He reduced regulations, lowered taxes and increased while the economy was at a high. Obama inherited a mess, so why are you surprised household incomes took so long to recover? And when they eventually did, you give the credit to Trump, after 8 years of Democrats cleaning up the Republican recession. Why am I not surprised, Trump is good at taking credit for things he didn't do. Also, the hypocrisy of your comment about ignoring facts when you've been screaming the word "liar" over and over, even when faced with Obama creating more jobs than Trump or Bush.
    2
  45.  @Lonewanderer30  Insulting me won't make you correct. FDR, Clinton and Obama all created jobs, and Trump lost them, and Bush was losing thousands a day when he left office. Democrats build the economy and Republicans ruin it. You'd know that if you weren't such a sheep.

  46.  @Lonewanderer30  Oh dear, he's in a loop. Must be a defense mechanism the cult taught him. Maybe in the future he'll learn to spell, form an opinion or even look at job creation numbers. If he stays like this we'll never know.

  48.  @Lonewanderer30  Oh I see, you're so deep in denial you change the very media you see to match your opinions. How sad.

  49.  @Lonewanderer30  Sorry that evidence is a difficult concept for you. You can't understand the simple maths that shows Obama created more jobs that Bush or Trump. You also fail to see the massive increases in deficit that Trump and Bush both caused. You ignore the trend showing that Trump simply coasted off the Obama economy. You don't even acknowledge the massive economic depressions and mass unemployments caused by both Trump and Bush. Why are you so in favour of massive overspending? Why do you love unemployment? It's like you hate the economy doing well for extended periods of time, looking at short burst as success rather than a further sign of an unstable and dangerous economy. Sorry you hate Obama too, but thanks Obama.

  50.  @Lonewanderer30  Obama dropped unemployment, increased wages and lowered the deficit. Bush caused a financial crisis and Trump coasted off Obama's economy, only to cock it up completely with massive unemployment and a rising deficit. Sorry you're not capable of understanding basic stats. You even tried to claim Trump created more jobs than Obama.
