1. Not persuaded yet. Trump's still talking and tweeting.

[appal_jack]

9. Yeah, Jesus Christ, step it up!

If it was worth chasing the money-lenders out of the Temple, it's worth at least horse-whipping tRump until he leaves the Whitehouse...

17. Trump is proof that God doesn't exist

[colorado_ufo]

19. "He makes His sun to shine and His rain to fall

on the just and the unjust. "

God plays a long game, so to speak.

[FiveGoodMen]

20. I'd prefer a god who favors the just

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Or that he has a perverse sense of humor.

[TomSlick]

30. Oh, She clearly does.

[MurrayDelph]

25. Doesn't make me believe in one

Even though it is evidence that should one exist, it has a sense of humor.

[Azathoth]

2. Another Trump ally bites the dust nt

[Vinca]

3. So maybe there's hope for the State of the Union speech.

[getagrip_already]

10. can't wait for this one with pelosi being right behind him.

hopefully he won't be there by then though...........

[lilactime]

4. ZAP!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. This happened last year, and while the speaker was a member of a nationalist r anti-Nazi and a

anti-Soviet (as well as anti-Semitic) group, he was not a “leader of Neo-Nazis in Ukraine.” He wasn’t a great person, but let’s keep our haters straight.

[LudwigPastorius]

13. Well, anti-Nazi, when it was convenient for them.

The OUN B-UPA actually collaborated with the Nazis earlier in the war.

There's also that massacre of thousands of Poles that they participated in.

I'm sure some of them were "very fine people".

[A HERETIC I AM]

6. It would have been really funny if a cloud of green smoke had risen from the bottom of the shot.

[malaise]

7. Still an atheist but

Bye bye

[Cirque du So-What]

8. Smite!

[getagrip_already]

11. he kind of looked surprised there at the end......

lights out?

bye felicia.

[elmac]

12. ha ha, but i still don't believe in god

though I do go to the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[W T F]

14. One can only pray that the shit gibbon keeps eating those Big Macs😂

[vlyons]

15. I don't believe in God, but I'll tell you what I do believe in

I'm a Buddhist. One day you and I shall die, and the only thing we will take with us is our mind. If I die with a hate-filled mind, I shall take that hatred with me into the next life and create more obstacles, difficulties, and suffering for me and others. So I practice now in my current lifetime to have a contented and peaceful mind. Too bad for that guy. He died suddenly with no opportunity to make peace with the people in his life.


The Dhammapada (first part)

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.
You too shall pass away.
Knowing this, how can you quarrel?

31. Well, I believe in God, the Dhammapada, the Bible, etc.

But it's hard when people

/nations are being slaughtered and ethnically cleansed like it's the Old Testament and despots and dictators rule. America, the last bastion of the Beacon of Light/The Statue of Liberty, now stands for "get the hell out...the doors are closed. Go back to where you belong"

In the meantime, do we just hunker down and read our preferred holy book? This is rhetorical, but I'd prefer to be in the Himalayas chanting and reading the Dhammapada.

[vlyons]

32. We cannot change the behavior of others

We really can only change our own thinking and behaviors. Using force to make people behave the way you want them to is the antithesis of peace. We are not helpless. The path to changing the world is to begin by changing ourselves.

[libdem4life]

33. But we still must endure the un-changed world for centuries, perhaps. Or not, if it goes away

due to climate change.

But my life today matters. I've been Buddhist for 20 years. Kind of like "Jesus is coming soon" 2,000 years ago. Finding peace, changing ourselves still doesn't put food on the table of our fellow earthlings or pull bullets from their carcases. I know it's a highly debated subject...but it's the activism vs. the Peace folk. Truly, I've chosen the latter, but mourn the current downturn of civilization.

[vlyons]

34. Do you assume that Peace folk

aren't also activists? Or vice versa? Who's to say that a Buddhist can't use skillful means to effect change to relieve the suffering of others? Did you miss that part in Buddhist teachings?

[libdem4life]

36. No need for snark. It's beneath Buddhists. I think 20 years covers it.

[sandensea]

16. But the Svoboda (Ukranian Nazi)-allied regime, is still alive and kicking

With U.S. support, no less.

[Iterate]

24. So says RT,

but Svoboda had less than 5% support in the last election, and therefore no national representation and little influence on the Ukrainian democracy. Calling the Ukrainian government a "regime", btw, is a core characterization by the Putin government.

Now let's get back to enjoying the video.

[sandensea]

27. Keep in mind Poroshenko's first PM, Arseny Yatsenyuk, was a lifelong Svoboda man

They did get rid of "Yats," as Victoria Kagan affectionally called him, after two years (mainly due to EU pressure); but the choice showed their leanings, at least in the early years.

The Poroshenko regime have changed for the better since then in that regard, and that's both good and smart of them.

Remember: the enemy of one's enemy isn't necessarily our friend.

That's exactly what's gotten us into foreign policy trouble in the past.

[jpak]

18. At least he was doing what he loved

[hibbing]

21. Too bad so many of our Nazis are so young n/t

[padah513]

22. I won't watch it, but it sounds like some serious Psy-Ops stuff to me

Too bad Art Bell's no longer with us. He could get Major Ed Dames to explain it.

[Auggie]

23. I believe in old age

[Solly Mack]

28. I believe in gallows humor.

And that the only good fascist is a very dead fascist.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

29. Satan claims his own!

[Scurrilous]

35. K&R

[Mariana]

37. It's a miracle that a 91 year old man died? nt.
