The Political Discussion Thread

[SGalisa]

So, Former NYC (NY) Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made it official that he is in the running for the 2020 USA Presidential seat. Aside from owning multi-billions of dollars, he is also pro-disarm citizens from access to guns (which is one of the current Democratic goals / agenda). He supported making the streets of NYC a "gun-free" zone, but seems those criminals still get their paws on some guns. So, how does that work out again?

"Michael Bloomberg joins 2020 US presidential race"
BBC News, 24 November 2019

Billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has officially announced he is standing to be the Democratic Party presidential nominee.

In a statement, the 77-year-old said he was standing "to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America".
. . .

Read some comments that Bloomberg should stop surrounding himself with gun-carrying security guards, or simply disarm them while being surrounded by them. hmmm. Kung-Fu / martial arts might work as an alternate form of protection, but not if one is not permitted to defend her/himself from any attack.

Bloomberg's goals might be to repeal the 2nd Amendment, and set US Americans on a course of being defenseless. One step closer to socialism and communism.

Since Bloomberg is invested in gas/fossil fuels, he has suggested a variation of the GREEN New Deal.

Also, United Nations agenda 2030 is about to become operational sooner than later. Agenda 2030 doesn't sound bad at its initial reading, but achieving such a goal will be impossible to reach and Maintain in current human processing terms. Bloomberg would make this (one-world) agenda a "dream" reality... but how much of his own money would he willingly part with to help the poor and ALL criminally infested neighborhoods (not just those he'd probably seek favors from, like some existing USA "mayors" already do)...?

I'm not a lawyer, but this guy is:

Guess he is a DINO, or RINO, or lizard person, or a never trumper, or whatever baseless, stupid, inane excuse is going on this week?

More Bloomberg stuff...

Key Points
* Bloomberg has pledged to spend at least $50 million to support Everytown for Gun Safety, which now has 350,000 financial backers
* Bloomberg Philanthropies has committed nearly $1 billion since 2007 to combat tobacco use worldwide.
* Bloomberg founded Beyond Carbon earlier this year, a $500 million group that advocates for energy reform.

Energy
Bloomberg founded Beyond Carbon earlier this year, a $500 million group that advocates for energy reform. The group is in favor of renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, instead of coal power. It favors electric vehicles instead of those run by fossil fuels.
. . .

*Gun-safety* means to disarm law-abiding citizens, too... it's been mentioned over and over that doing such an action --and enforcing it-- makes it easier to control the masses of (gunless) "defenseless" people.


As for the energy stuff and "electric" vehicles, does this translate that Bloomberg has changed his stance on using fossil fuels (gas and oil), as well for energy use?
Hence, a Revised (or disguised) GREEN NEW DEAL... anyone?

Now, it's up to the voters to decide.

Appointed by god?
Didn't you fight a war of independence to get away from people appointed by god?

Thing is, neither Trump nor Obama was "appointed by God". Both were elected by our political system.

According to Newsweek, Fox News chief national correspondent Ed Henry said Perry also said he believed former President Barack Obama was “sent by God as well, for that moment and that time... [and] at this moment and this time, Donald Trump was sent by God to do great things.”

If someone or some church wants to believe that someone was sent by God or The Great Pumpkin, there's nothing wrong with that. Anyone can believe anything they want, no matter how crazy.

There is no mechanism in place to even allow for the appointing a political officeholder by deity.

Although you might have just given Shrillary a new scapegoat.... "I lost because God and The Great Pumpkin opposed me".

ain't everything supposed to be God's plan?

so maybe the anti-Christ's also chosen by God

eg. someone who owns a building on NYC 666 5th avenue

There, fixed it for you.

Soul makes a good point. A person who lie, cheats, and insults everyone wouldn't be chosen by God. It's kind of against what the Bible says.

[SoulReaver]

There, fixed it for you.

who?
ah yes some private citizen ie. completely irrelevant

also nowhere near as symbolic nor as sensationalistic as 666 is it?
