fauxlaw

This is a post in response to one from a couple of days ago, "Shoes," in which SergeantLynch asks about Trump imposing tight shoes from China for his Cabinet.

So, did Oba'a, himself, force himself to shove his hand up JoJoBiden's arse to move the wooden puppet's mouth, and thereby serve a third term as President? Dirty job, but somebody had to do it. Too bad the arm wasn't long enough to occupy the puppet's brainbasket. Maybe a dirtier job.

But although Oba'a had two hands, he couldn't do the same for the veep to strangle her word salads?

Since this is now history, do we have any answers? Asking for a friend.

Btw, Barry's hands are not even from China. They claim to be home-grown, and that's fine with me.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".

Yes, I'm very familiar with the phrase. I've read the Constitution completely every month, and have for the last 30+ years. But it merely says Congress will not make a law to establish a religion, nor prohibit the people from their free exercise of religion, but it DOES NOT say government shall not cooperate with it nor make any use of its trappings. How else do you justify that House and Senate begin each daily session with prayer, and the Supreme Court opens invoking God ["God save the United States and this honorable Court"]?

There is zero chance the High King of Egypt ...

Zero? That king [more appropriately, pharaoh, likely Ramses II, son of Seti I [who also raised Moses] was a powerful pharaoh, no doubt, during a period of Egyptian glory. But "zero chance" that he was defeated by the God of Abraham, who [Abraham, that is] left his own mark on Egypt? Egyptian temple design after that period is remarkably similar to the original Solomon's temple, possibly also from designs Abraham may have taught to his son and grandson, Isaac and Jacob, ands passed on through that genealogy. Sorry, can't agree with you. No, Ramses did not personally suffer consequence of the Israelite departure from Egypt led by Moses, other than loss of whatever portion of his army he had with him. In fact, Egyptian history does not mention it, at all, according to records uncovered to date.

Trump is no artist, so that's not a self-portrait. But, nice try. Back to reality, ok?

separation of Church and State.

And where, pray, tell, is that phrase codified? Not in any Constitution I've ever read that is codified. In a couple of SCOTUS syllabi, yes, but they are just precedent. In fact, Madison, in the Federalist Papers, and in several letters to colleagues, envisioned more of an intersection than a separation. Two institutions in cooperation to achieve the ideal of the Preamble's "more perfect union." I'll go with Madison.

I know Tommy Jefferson suggested that "separation" phrase, and a lot of people like it, but... Tommy was in France as our French minister [ambassador], separated from church AND state, while the Constitution was being written, signed, passed and ratified. He never signed it.

still nothing much different than Obama got

You mean nothing yet. This isn't over, even if Congress disagrees. It's a three-equal-branch government, yeah? And that's because Oba'a never understood [or did not want to understand] that the Iranian leadership since 1979 has never intended to stop their nuclear weapon ambition. That's why Trump has been dealing from a perspective of "unconditional surrender," i.e., Iran gets nothing. No continued insane government. No nukes. No enriched plutonium [we take it away from them by them showing us and taking us to wherever it is]. And no fighting with proxy warriors like Hamas and Hezbo, and any other H-brother. Nothing. Oba'a simply lacked the balls to demand that - a failure whose only ambition was to continue his presidency even if that meant his hand was rammed up Biden's arse to move the wooden puppet's mouth.

if the Holy Bible says thou must blow up schools, then who are we to argue.

The Bible does not say that, as the preceding "if" implies just by it leading your sentence. If/then statements are all counter-logic because the "if" implies it's clause does not describe an existing condition. Therefore, "then," even just implied, cannot be justified.

But, more than that, the Bible is not, is not, is not, infallible. That's what prayer is for. Ask the boss what's what. The Bible does tell us too do that.

Well that's as clear as mud Faux.

It's called English grammar. If it must start there, I refuse. I expect a certain level of education to be bought to the table. Like the difference in pronouns of living and non-living things; who's and what's.

waging war and killing the military and civilians of a Nation that does not possess nuclear weapons

That's a bullshyte argument, Sarge. Yes, we have nukes; thousands of them. Have we ever used one in combat since the close WWII? NO! Why not, when we have them? Because we're not the great Satan, zs accused by Iran, and that's it in spades. We just don't shove people off their land. Usually, in war, the victor takes the spoils, including the land. The US has, in past centuries done that; it's why we are who and what we are today. But the last major instance of the U.S. permanently acquiring significant land directly through a treaty ending a military conflict was the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 178 years ago. Get it? Iran still wants to do that, plus wipe Israel off the map, and us, too, if truth be told.

this latest incursion into the affairs of the Middle East is absolutely nothing to do with nuclear weapons.

More bullshyte. Iran's leadership thugs still want nukes [even when they've said they will no longer pursue that course, they've lied too often in the past 49 years t beige the shyte coming out of their mouths. And they will use them, first on Israel. We have an agreement with Israel to prevent that. You manage to continuously ignore that.

the New Jesus himself 

More bullshyte. I'm done.

Show me a technology that has taken 100 years to get off the ground, so to speak, because, no, we did not advance directly from barely leaving the ground with the Wright Flyer to landing on the moon with the Eagle, but did do so in almost half that time. But it has been 100 for green tech, and in that time, its energy sourcing of windmill blades, for example, is not man's technology, but nature's. Whereas, to manufacture gasoline to power an ICE engine [internal combustion engine] and lubricate it, we must refine natural crude petroleum. We created the tech to do that in 30 years from discovery of natural crude. In that respect, the innovation of AlGoreGooeyJuice has failed to be a man-invented tech. Again, what is it waiting for? You have not answered that questi0on, yet, so I'll tell you: green has failed to innovate that tech. So, what good is it currently doing for us to replace petroleum [the Biden Fool's promise] and not merely compete poorly with it [65% of the grid vs. barely 20% of it]?

Who, not what. God is a human creature. He may not be Homo sapiens, but that distinction is hardly unique. But "what" implies an inanimate object, and that does not describe either man nor God.

That will require explanation. I determine who my friends are, accepting that their agreement is also necessary, but no third party does or can.

Trump is taller than every president other than Clinton, Johnson, FDR, Lincoln, and Jefferson. Tailer than Oba'a. Taller than 91% of all other presidents. You little photoshop ruse is a lie. Will not stand up in court.

It was not Trump who made that public discussion, was it? People say and do things in private that still should be proper comportment, but when they don't, whose fault compounds and escalates the issue by making it public when said or done in private?

When someone in a crowded theater says aloud, "I want popcorn," is anyone harmed/injured by the comment, even those who do not like eating popcorn? No, that's not a first amendment violation. Iritating, perhaps, if it interrupts concentration on the movie. But, how about when someone yells "Fire!" when there is no fire? That can cause harm/injury, and should be a first amendment violation.

The same apply to comments like that alleged to be said by Trump in private. Whom did it harm?

Dont make them go through "I agree to rules" nonsense.

No, rules do apply and it is not "nonsense." If we cannot conduct ourselves in civil discussion, then we are not adults and never will be. In DART, I was threatened directly by another member who felt pissed that I appealed his actions of seeking approval of a debate tactic to the DART site owner. The user was able to obtain. my personal identity the names of my family and our address. No. Strictly forbidden, and I want the assurance of compliance to sensible rules of conduct the site. If people cannot abide by some simple rules of conduct, they can shove their claims of "rights." Threats are not rights. They're not even privileges.

All in all, is there a human life balanced compensation for use of a nuke to prevent further loss of human life? The US is the only nation to have actually used nukes in war, as we admitted it, but justified by the prevention of loss of life to Americans, who did not start WWII, but damn well finished it. And we finished it without declaring that our enemies in war were Satan, and funding proxies to battle for us. And we have paid paid untold billions of dollars to all enemies up through Vietnam, and like to Arab countries of the Middle East, in addition to allies in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, so stop whining that we're unjustified with regard to Iran. They've killed many US civilians and military.

trump wants to give them [Iran] 20 billion [dollars].

Why don't you tell it like it is: not that Trump [is it really just Trump, or those in direct talks with Iran - i.e., not Trump personally and uniquely, as you apparently accuse - tell me I'm wrong]

Axios, CBS, CNN, and others, all tell a different story from yours, and yours is unsourceded. You don't know the point of denying nukes to Iran? When they call us and Israel "The Great Satan," and have launched deadly attacks on both military and civilian targets from 1979, forward, and have funded satellite terrorists to do the same? Who's Satan, and where have you been the last nearly 50 years?

https://www.axios.com/2026/04/17/iran-us-deal-20-billion-frozen-funds-uranium,

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-iranians-have-agreed-to-everything-including-removal-of-enriched-uranium/, https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/17/politics/iran-trump-money-uranium-deal

That the US would not "give" Iran $20B US, but release frozen assets already belonging to Iran, some of which have been frozen for nearly 40 years. Obama did this, contrary to claims that he gave "plane-loaded of cash" to Iran. Why are Democrats, and you, denying this wrinkle of the story, but accept that Oba'a did it? TDS?

That's what it looks like. Woke is dead, my friend. Get it?

Beginning 19 April and over 7 full days, 9am to 9pm, 84 hours in all, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C., the entire Holy Bible will be read by some 84 distinguished people, and hour each, including President Trump.

If you think the Holy Bible speaks only to and of Israel, ignoring all others, prepare to be wrong. It speaks to all, even to those who think religion has nothing to say to them. That's your decision, not God's.

Personally, I suggest when you have read it, word-for-word, cover-to-cover, as I have frequently advised, why stop there. other books ought to populate your reading list. The Quran, The Book of Mormon, The Tripitaka, The Book of Shadows, The Vedas, The Tao Te Ching, and others. I have read the first five of the list [oincludes the Holy Bible, and four of the adjacent list], so I*m not recommending anything I have not finished or at least begun myself.

You will see by a more detailed than cursory reading that many principles are shared by people around the world, demonstrating that truth can be shared by virtually all of us in many different approaches.

Or, shun the efforts and be ignorant of foundational understanding of ourselves and our relation to the divine.

You dont have friends

I haven't lost friends. You may have just lost one. It is my perspective that rules in my court, as it is for all of us individually, yes?

Many Democrats, official and on the street [blocking street traffic, usually, I guess because protest is ineffective on the sidewalk, and they typically misunderstand what the first amendment right to peaceably assembly means because it is not written in woke] think their entire lives have been disrupted [read "destroyed"] by Donald Trump.

Wouldn't it refreshing for them to realize much of what they protest was initiated by Dems in the first place?

Like Truman's WWII-ending nukes

Like Kennedy/Johnson's Vietnam War

Like Carter's Egypt/Israel Peace Accord.

Like Clnton's Bosnia attack.

Like Obama's deal with Iran, granting them $Bs

Like Biden's reelease of US sanctions against Russia's Nord Stream nat gas pipeline

Well notwithstanding that Trump should back off meddling in Middle Eastern affairs

Ever hear off President Jimmy Carter; a Democrat? He established the framework for sustained, annual U.S. aid to Israel by the 1978 Camp David Accords and the subsequent 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. These agreements, brokered by Carter, formalized a massive, long-term military and economic security partnership, providing the foundation for ongoing, high-volume, multi-year aid packages. You didn't know?

I would suggest that the Swiss Guard...

Suggest till cows come home, my friend. They serve the vital function of protection off the Vatican, and of the pope's person. They just dress like carnival showmen; but, in fact, outside the Vatican, they're dressed in conservative suit and tie [spome within, as well].

Just think Faux, if the US didn't spend so much

I don't have to think. others are hired to do that thinking and worrying and solving. My taxes pay for that, thanks, and I'm perfectly willing. Sorry you're opposed.

The two terms, magic man and magician, according to the OED, can be synonymous. Just so you know.

"...just as God anciently passed it to us" means what it says. God has abilities which he periodically [anciently, now, and into the future], progressively, passes on to His children, us, which are more intricate and capable abilities, tomorrow more than today, and today more than yesterday, to perform actions which follow natural law, and we discover that "natural law" encompasses many tasks that we only progressively understand are virtually endless in what constitutes "nature."

Then, your problem goes beyond manned space flight. For example, green has had over 100 years [yes, "green" energy, not always called that, has been around that long] to invent AlGoreGooeyJuice to replace oil. They are waiting for... what, exactly?

They are hired, paid soldiers now, right? Right.

So, what's the problem? Not everyone working in the Vatican is clergy, and therefore not celibate; men and women. You didn't know?

Pope Leo ought to back off meddling with president Trump and the US v Iran.

After all, the Vatican has depended on the Swiss Guard for their protection since 1506 - over 500 years. Isn't it about time the Vatican have it's own home-grown force, and dress them a little more effectively than a carnival suit - not Micky's best work even though I admire him virtually above any other artist who ever lived.

The glass globe is a better example of the art of war than that stupid video. That guy is clueless of his own shadow, let alone anything as complicated as aggression when it cannot be back-up by purpose beyond a swelled head, which Iran has had since it decided it could no longer be satisfied being the remnant of Persia.

I have elsewhere in this Forum declared God is not a magician, so that position is entirely yours, and welcome to it.

50 years?

You ignore significant differences from 50 years ago, my friend. Stop and think. Did Apollo have a flush toilet? No, no iteration of Apollo had any toilet at all. Just exotic diapers.

Was Artemis 1 crewed? No, it wasn't, so Artemis 2 was the first flight of this new capsule out of the atmosphere, not a 50-year experience. Are you done complaining, yet? I'm done trying to spare you any further embarrassment.

Corruption has many facets, including sexual misuse.
