It’s good enough for all the parties internally.

It would be possible to get a majority and take all with only 23% of the votes. The David Cameron Tories won with 27%. We need a PR system.

And quite a lot of the blame for setting up the republicans to embrace Trumpism.

Again it’s probably not that long. How much does it matter.? I guess he doesn’t see it like that.

He shouldn’t bother, I mean he’s only got a couple of years left on earth. Why go to all the trouble and work.

The Old Testament is a bunch of books, letters, poems, historical and legal documents. That when read tell the story of the Jews and their relationship with God and the world over a couple of thousand years. They reflect the culture in which they were written. Many of the documents were written during wars where the writer is convinced God is on their side. There are many prophesies especially in Isaiah which point to Jesus. So when Jesus arrives and fulfills the prophesies some of the Jews follow Jesus but many powerful leaders are awaiting a different, more normal king figure and they are comfortable as they are so choose not to follow. The New Testament is written in a time of relative stability during the longtime invasion by the romans. The writers of those letters and books, some of whom are eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus. (Almost unique in historical documents) take a different stance to who God is. But they don’t all agree. Basically Bible means library.

Reminds me of President Biff in Back to the Future 2 ruling from his hot tub in the penthouse of his gaudy casino.

Yes good advice here. I find the simplest thing to say and the hardest thing to do at the time is to notice when I am taking things personally and then just stop that. Nothing the other person is saying is actually about me and all about them. Of course if something they are saying is fair or useful then I can use that later to see why it hurts and what that might be pointing to. Another great book is the four agreements.
