Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750

---

He also didn't take the paycheck allocated to the president. So he gave back way more than he owed on that income

quote:

---

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made

---

He has been publicly honest about the fact that he took advantage of what the tax code allowed, which is what this whole discussion is about. People like him are being taxed through the roof in other ways. Those income tax deductions don't even come close to the rest. Besides, this point isn't relevant. The top earners in america are paying nearly all of the income tax being collected by the govt. The rich are funding the poor through the govt so the establishment can stay in power. It's a massive grift. No one should be ok with this

quote:

---

The only thing to "get wrong" is the interpretation of what primitives wrote thousands of years ago

---

Curious, did they record something false in the Bible?

quote:

---

If Christianity wasn't so malleable, it would've died off centuries ago

---

And yet countless Christians live according to the same doctrines that are explained in the Bible. Do some deviate? Absolutely. But I bet you don't get along with every other OSU fan and that disagreement in no way has anything to do with what happened on the field. Moreover, many people don't perceive the difference between primary issues vs secondary or tertiary issues. They see the distinctions and assume Christianity is false.

quote:

---

During confession the Priest is their to listen and guide you and reassure you that your sins are forgiven

---

And this is yet another example of the duplicity. Catholics will on one hand swear up and down that they don't treat the pope like the dictator, don't worship idols, don't worship Mary but then in reality do just those things.

quote:

---

Why do protestants give testimony and stand up and ask forgiveness of their church members?

---

Because the bible says to? Matthew 18:15-17

quote:

---

They are men just like anyone else

---

I wonder if you realize you just destroyed the Catholic church but, this does illuminate the duplicity of Catholics in regards to their perspective on the leadership. The church does not treat the Pope like he's just a regular person. If he's just a man, then why should anyone elevate what he says for interpretation or praxis over what anyone else thinks? In reality, what he says goes for everyone. If he doesn't like the way you part your hair, you can be excommunicated and unable to particpate in worship.

If the Pope is just a regular human, then he is not needed to be the dictator of the entire Christian congregation. Nothing in the bible suggests anything like a pope. What is mentioned are presbuteros, episkopos and diakonos. Those offices look nothing like the Catholic institutional structure.

quote:

---

Protestantism was invented more than Fifteen Centuries after Christ walked the Earth

---

Protestantism was not "invented." The reformers were trying to purge the Catholic church of sinful behaviors committed by the leadership and of unbibilical teachings/practices. IOW, it was a return to biblical teaching that had existed since the time of Christ. The reformers were not at all trying to leave the Catholic church or start a new branch of Christianity but when the leadership was recalcitrant, people started leaving, rightfully so. The puzzling decisions of the council of Trent cemented the division.

quote:

---

It's absurd to conclude that Almighty God would withhold Ultimate Truth from us human beings for over 1,500 years, suddenly to reveal Ultimate Truth to a handful of people like Calvin and Zwingli.

---

That's not at all what happened. People had been complaining about the foibles of the Catholic leadership for many years but the church held all the cards. They could prevent people from being betrothed, own land, have a job, own a business, etc. Not very Christlike behavior. In response to the burgeoning Reformation, the Catholic church devloped a standing army and then started attacking people who dissented, sparking the 30 years' war. Completely unjustifiable

quote:

---

Do I try and talk them out if it? No.

You know why? Because I mind my own fricking business.

---

You seem to be obtusely missing the point of the OP. Did you watch the video?

The point is that doctors are having to risk their careers to ask questions that the govt should have been asking from the beginning. The shots were never tested on humans and it was pretty clear from the beginning that there were adverse reactions in a percentage WAY ABOVE what normally would have been allowed. Physicians who pointed this out were ostracized. Despite people speaking out, like Zelensky, the govt continued to lie to people about the virus, not answer questions and push the shots knowing full well from their own VAERS database that there were serious problems. This is in addition to the lying about masks, closing small businesses, mandates, etc.

Add to this the fact that readily available, inexpensive medications were being proven to have positive outcomes but were being thwarted by the govt and the media, seems to point to the fact that big pharma's profits were on the line.

Then, you claim to mind your own business while posting multiple times in a thread of people trying to point out this unbelievable criminality which has results in countless deaths, including kids, and it's really hard to discern your motivation.

If you really mind your own business, then butt out of this thread. Otherwise, what is your point?

First, you don't know me. Second, tell me what I said that's wrong

Jayden Daniels will win the heisman so deal with it

---

Well, since I've been pointing out that Daniels is the best player, I'm ok with him winning it

quote:

---

you believe a player on a team that doesn't win a single game is Heisman material

---

Is the award an individual award or a team award?

flawed logic

:lol:

quote:

a key cog in the machine such as a QB that can drive a team to victory by his own superlative actions on the field

---

So the qb can play all 22 positions on every down. I had not heard that.

quote:

---

Daniels failed to lift his team up and overcome the poor defense of lsu on 3 separate occasions. That's 3 failures

---

Dang. And to think people like you are allowed to vote in elections.

quote:

---

Cam Newton didn't have 3 failures; he was a winner. Cam Newton, and most other Heisman winners, have been an integral reason for the success of their teams

---

Now that you mention it, I do remember Cam playing all 22 positions on every snap. That was something.

quote:

---

Did you happen to notice how Daniels performed in the loses?

---

I did. It seems to me that some people are not being objective because they just can't stand to see an SEC rival do well. Daniels was clearly, far and away the better player.

SEC fans want to say the SEC is the toughest conference. Daniels had the better numbers in the tougher conference. It's no contest. Trying to smuggle in team accomplishments is childish.
