They came for the Gamers, but I did not speak out because I was not a Gamer.

The evidence in the case revealed that Smith told investors he would eventually sell the bonds and they would get exponential returns on their investments. Following Smith’s fraudulent pitch, the investors were told to wire funds to Caldwell bank accounts. Caldwell, Smith and others divvied up the proceeds and Caldwell used approximately $900,000 to cover personal loans, mortgages and credit cards and pay other expenses. Smith spent his $1.08 million cut to pay off loans, buy two luxury sport utility vehicles and make a down payment on a vacation property.

I don’t think it is an irrational statement to say that any person who pleads guilty to this evidence shouldn’t be put in a major position of influence.

But it seems like you have your mind set that blind faith is actually ok sometimes. The alternative being the primary point I was trying to make.

So are the remaining people not turning a blind eye to the public documentation of his deceit because they have “faith” that he is the best person to lead them?

Court documents alleged Caldwell, using his position at Houston’s Windsor Village Church, and a financial advisor sold $3.5 million in worthless pre-revolutionary Chinese bonds to the elderly and other vulnerable investors.

This is why I put “blind” in bold. He was literally caught red handed defrauding the elderly. That is where the blindness of the congregation comes in. They choose to ignore the glaring breach of trust and allow him to retain his position of influence.

And, chat, this is why blind faith in anything is a bad thing.

Do what you enjoy. Yes people will judge. You would be hard pressed to find a whimsical passtime that people do not judge. What matters is if you are living your life how you want to.

I also guarantee you will make somebody’s day.

As long as you can communicate appropriately for the situation (I.E. an emergency, to perform your job adequately, or for serious discussions) I don’t think it matters in the long run what others think.

Saying that makes it clear you have no intention of having a good faith, nuanced discussion of politics.

Get blocked.

If you cannot accept that LESS people would have suffered if the dems won, I cannot help ya.

You are right, I heard Kamala was planning to implement project 2025 if dumpy didn’t. /s

i know it’s difficult for most democrats to pay attention beyond the propaganda cloud, but try to open your eyes

continues to completely miss the main point of the comment.

I like it :)

I’d take that as a compliment, honestly. Out of the millions of people they could choose, they chose you. <3

Nice catch

I’d recommended googling, “Why is there an age limit for consent”. I’d put a link, but I do not want that search connected to me in any way. When it comes to these issues, it is good to do some research to see if there is already an established researched reason before asking for random people’s opinion on it. Sometimes, people get stuck in “bad” echo chambers that try to justify certain behaviors. The best thing to do is look up some studies on the issue to form an educated opinion on it.

Obligatory: I am against any form of pedophilia and do not support it in any way.
