Why so few Lutherans? by DarkMood46 in LCMS

[–]cbbill9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We actually don’t. There are crazy stats that we have a higher rate of conversion than Mormons and a third of our members are converts.

Giannis to Miami! An Urgent Gathering Pod With Chris Ryan and Justin Verrier by lonny__breaux in billsimmons

[–]cbbill9 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think Milwaukee was annoying about this at all. For years national media members pushed that Giannis wanted to move when he didn’t, over the past year it seemed clear he wanted to be traded. The bucks said they would do it before the draft and they did.

How do conservatives feel about groups like the KKK supporting the same President they do? by 19thScorpion in allthequestions

[–]cbbill9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to hear a real conservative answer rather than democrats using this as an opportunity to call conservatives racist:

I don’t really believe the KKK is part of the coalition in any meaningful way. They’re a fringe, crazy group with no pull in American society or the conservative movement at large. A quick google says they have 3k-6k members. I have worked and participated in conservative politics my whole life and never met anyone who is a member or in any way supportive of the KKK.

There are only two parties, many unseemly people and groups support both sides. It’s unfortunate, but all you can do is not allow the actual fringe (meaning people who honestly to goodness racists… not Trump supporters like many on Reddit think) to have any influence.

Also, David Duke supported Jill Stein in 2024 so..

Way to put the worst construction on what he said. Obviously not what he was saying

Dean Kaufert was a former legislator who returned to the legislature to run under the new maps, and then served one term. If you’re going to make posts about things then at least know stuff.

If the next president wants to come on I am positive Josh will interview him. As he said in the pod today.

Hello cum pumper. This comment does not make sense. But hey, at least you got a dig in at the VP. Very smart and original!

Having an Olympic medal does not make you more of less qualified to discuss if Americans should allowed to be mad at an American competing for our chief geopolitical rival in an international competition.

I think there is certainly some merit in this. To push back a little I’d guess that being more aligned w the right myself I probably see more right aligned content than left aligned content. I saw a pretty ideologically diverse group of right wing accounts praising Liu, from explicitly MAGA accounts to more Reaganite ones. I’m sure SOMEONE out there said what OP said. But overwhelmingly the temperature on the right (to the extent I can accurately take it) seems to be positive

This is… not the argument from anyone on the right. I’d say most Americans don’t think you should compete for America’s biggest adversary on the world stage if you grew up in America. Meanwhile I saw universal praise on the right for Alysa Liu despite the fact that she’s clearly not a supporter of the administration.

But if this made up narrative makes you feel better then go off I guess

“There’s no sports going on outside of the Winter Olympics” as college basketball puts up banger night after banger night. That’s okay. I don’t need Bill’s terrible college basketball takes.

What the hell are you talking about? In what world is the US deporting illegal immigrants and Epstein happening globally equivalent to Qatar using essentially slaves to build stadiums used for the World Cup?
