Adrian Stargazer ​​wait a minute, this isn't metal gear

Jack H. ​​that is NOT solid snake

April Treas ​​kendrick fs

Timothy Kain ​​Is this the CROCKET from CROCKETDOODLEs?

Brendan Warren ​​great pick

pcviewer1 ​​Steve Pettit told the board he would leave if they didn't stop doing stuff behind his back.

Adrian Stargazer ​​hey dudes, the university is pretty chill, maybe you should like, join it or something

Bigcat23 ​​Wesley nobody cares

Sven Loeffler ​​He was the pastor of Morningside baptist

Timothy Kain ​​TY

Matt Black ​​My kids (BJU students or graduates) love him. Praise God.

Wesley Boudreau ​​i do

Efan ​​Wesley consider yourself an opp

Wesley-76 ​​He sounds like a great guy. If he won by this much, he's probably going to be good. I'm looking forward to hearing him this Fall!

Jack H. ​​new rap beef

Bigcat23 ​​Wesley shut up

Matt Black ​​I appreciate that he's young. He's a reasonable and godly man.

Eric Dickinson ​​the hat man got 2 stars in cwl

Jack H. ​​that hairline…

Timothy Kain ​​Seems like a wonderful choice. May GOD guide him and his decisions.

Luke Griffith ​​Crockett doodles

Timothy Kain ​​Sense of humor….check

Bigcat23 ​​Why the 5 years tho?

James Bussard ​​A pastor should not be allowed to be the President of a college. Either the church will suffer, or the college will. Or both. This is pure ambition, and poor discernment.

Jessica Nowachek ​​He seemed like a good pastor when I visited morningside.

Jack H. ​​no shot triple sticks didn't have a say in this

Bigcat23 ​​What if he mess this thing more than it is already

Josh Watts Music ​​Bussard I'm afraid I have to agree

Bigcat23 ​​Would he still be a pastor though?

Holly Shiveley ​​He was a student when I was a grad student teaching speech. His name sounded familiar. It's possible I taught him😄

Josh Watts Music ​​good question

John Juan ​​@James Bussard - I'm 99% sure he will no longer pastor Morningside Baptist.

Anthony Lehn ​​Triple sticks ftw

Timothy Kain ​​A coach needs time to build. It Should keep pharisaical thugs at bay for awhile.

Eric Dickinson ​​hat man was supposed to go for 4 but went for 1 and got 2 stars.

Mackenzie Mohnacky ​​I believe that he will do a great job. He's been my pastor for the last three years, and I believe that God is going to do great things through him.

Sven Loeffler ​​the prez is to by ordained

Tobe Witmer ​​Josh C. is a good compromise. Good guy Academic.

Jack H. ​​this look like the battle pass

Jonathan Washburn ​​Bragging about getting all of your degrees from one school isn't the W he thinks it is.

Timothy Kain ​​Great connections to money and sustenance.

Tobe Witmer ​​Not All his degrees. “Most”

Anthony Lehn ​​Well, it's a couple more degrees than you have Jonathan Washburn

Camille Lewis ​​The students are not going to be won with this.

Bill Alger ​​this could have been an email, but I'm glad it wasn't.

Timothy Kain ​​Well I'm off to collect my winnings. 😂

James Bussard ​​If he does abandon the pastorate (and the people of Morningside), did God suddenly change His mind about the man's "calling"? God doesn't do that. Not this way. Again…smacks of ambition and flesh.

Tobe Witmer ​​Wrong Camille. As normal

Wesley Boudreau ​​well it must be Gods will because nothing happens that isn't

Sven Loeffler ​​true

Mackenzie Mohnacky ​​Amen, Wesley

Jack H. ​​15th professor is a goober

Andrew Black ​​Proverbs 10:19 " In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise."

Camille Lewis ​​You like this, Matt? really?

Jonathan Washburn ​​Josh and his brother were decent hoopers in high school. I'll never forget watching Eric Newton drop like 50+ in the state semifinal in a raucous crowd against the best team in the state.

Camille Lewis ​​And how do I become your fixation even here?

Michael Ball ​​Who is the new president?

Aurum ​​wish Camille could be blocked from this

Camille Lewis ​​Bless you all.

Jack H. ​​fake news huh? ok goober

Camille Lewis ​​This is not a good acceptance speech, friends.

The15thProfessor ​​yeah fake news

Jack H. ​​15th i'm in your walls

The15thProfessor ​​Now I know who you are

Jack H. ​​do you now

CurlyFries ​​‍

Charlie Eldred ​​Text is on unity; chat dissolves into anything but

Cor Frost ​​Caleb its not fake lol

Jonathan Washburn ​​Is that you Jack Hyles?

D.o.G. ​​Man, I hope I'm dead meat if this is as good as it gets. sorry I am well below my standards

Camille Lewis ​​Who remembers the stuffed bear in his Dad's living room? It was a scream. [This is what got me put in timeout? A taxidermy memory?]

Adrian Stargazer ​​guys, stop arguing in the presidential announcement

Matthew Leys ​​Praying for a strong future for BJU and that God would put to silence the scorners.

Jonathan Washburn ​​Josh's younger brother Luke is among the kindest people I've ever met. He also scored the game winning goal against us in the 2003 State Semi-final and it still hurts.

Tobe Witmer ​​Pettit! Way to go Josh!

Cor Frost ​​rip

Anthony Lehn ​​Thanks for the history lesson Jonathan Washburn smh

Isaac Balardelle ​​chat is this real

Wesley Boudreau ​​no

Jack H. ​​15th i'm right behind you

Eric Dickinson ​​beta gamma won 7 turkey bowls in a row

Jonathan Washburn ​​@Anthony Lehn Sigma 72, Beta 70

Stephen Burch ​​Praying for BJU and President Crockett!

Ben Waters ​​Chi Delta 4Ever!

Jonathan Washburn ​​Stay classy Chi Delt! @Ben Waters

Eric Dickinson ​​wil the new president take care of the turkey bowl alpha won with an ineligible player. the last president refused to comment

Camille Lewis ​​This is gonna be a rough transition. [I couldn't post this because I was in timeout.]

Wesley Boudreau ​​XEΔ

Aurum ​​bruh

Jacob Vanaman ​​@Jonathan Washburn - that one win was a claim to fame for the Sigma Spartans…but after a while that trophy got heavy.

Anthony Lehn ​​1 loss in basketball in four year

PofE Plays ​​wesley imagine being a wolf smh my head

Jacob Vanaman ​​@Anthony Lehn - wins fa' dayz

Quin Machado ​​why wasnt the turkey bowl fiasco of 2023 the number one concern addressed?

Jack H. ​​15th you have no idea who I am but I know everything about you

Anthony Lehn ​​Hey coach @Jacob Vanaman !

Bigcat23 ​​Wolves are among the weirdest people on campus

PofE Plays ​​lol thats what 15th hates more than anything

Wesley Boudreau ​​@Bigcat23 no you

The15thProfessor ​​why do i have such a reputation

Jacob Vanaman ​​@Anthony Lehn - good to hear from you buddy!

PofE Plays ​​100 bigcat

James Bussard ​​I investigated Morningside for my daughter to attend while at BJU. It falls short in many ways, when compared against Scripture. Sadly, plastic Christianity may continue to abound at BJU.

Efan ​​Bob jones lost so much aura

Kamalei Goff ​​chat, is this real?

PofE Plays ​​ok camille alt

Bigcat23 ​​Wesley Boudreau is among the weirdest guys on campus, playing Minecraft all the time

Anthony Lehn ​​Can't help but inch closer to the door

[sagesilentfire]

the debate was basically:

harris: *standard politician talk*

trump: *the most insane, senile, everything-phobic bullshit you've ever heard*

and apparently these two are neck-in-neck we live in hell

[vellialavellious]

FUCKING DAMMIT

[factorybought]

Said this on instagram already but

If you voted for trump just know you aren’t welcome here and you’d best be unfollowing me.

I do not support Kamala politically as I’m more leftist leaning than that (and obviously i’m pro Palestine) but Trump actively has worse plans for this country, and I wish we had better candidates.

If you opted out of voting you aren’t helping the political landscape and merely just being compliant.

If you chose to vote independent unfortunately due to how the electoral party works it basically does nothing, unfortunately our country runs on a two party system which I think has to be demolished, but that’s the way it is right now. Voting independent is basically just useless.

I am very annoyed in how this turned out but as humans we will prevail and survive, it’s just disappointing that we have to deal with this again for 4 more years.

Please to the ones affected by this do not spiral, there are people here who want this country to be better and are trying, and there are cities and states who are more interested in the average persons rights. Keep yourselves safe and try your best to find community during these times.

[embithesinner]

just found out today (oct 28th) that some drop-off boxes for ballots have been set on fire in washington and oregon (found out from this article) sometime in the morning. somebody slap this on that one 'i love you' supernatural meme.

but real talk if you live within vancouver, washington or portland, oregon, you may want to double-check if any of the affected drop-off boxes is the one you put your ballot in, and if you feel yours got caught in this incident maybe see about getting a replacement ballot.

[gothicvalentine]

Must watch video compilation. They're coming out and saying they want to go back at least 100 years, before women had rights, one guy said they want to go back to the middle ages and another that things went wrong when "we" stopped burning women at the stake.

Mention was made that they want to make The Handmaid's Tale real--and worse. What the guy means by "and worse" can only be imagined, but considering the actual state sanctioned r*pe in the book and show, it really makes me concerned about them trying to implement forcing women to submit to having sex with (yeah r*ape) men who are not able to get laid, but also feel like they should be able to have sex with supermodels. There's obviously more men than not who will never be able to have sex with super hot women and not all of them can become wealthy enough to make their grossness irrelevant. I've seen articles where it's been stated that some incels have proposed the government "give" them hot women. Like we're nothing more than animals or food.

I know younger people keep complaining that Democrats keep saying that elections are "the most important ever." And I guess it sounds like we're "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

But it's shit like this that has become more and more open and mainstreamed. So much so that every future election may continue to be "the most important." Because at this point, we're just trying to keep America a democracy (or Democratic Republic or whatever the fuck the legal def is).

These people are the enemy of our country and anyone who wants freedom for women, POC, LGBTQIA, men who don't fit their criteria of "manly men," the lower classes, immigrants, disabled people, neurodivergent people--and anyone I may have forgotten. We have to remain vigilant!

Sadly, for anyone who isn't convinced, I think the only thing that would convince them is if we do lose our freedoms, and I, for one, am not willing to let things get that far! It's enraging enough to me that they've rolled back civil rights and Roe despite everything I've been doing to try to at least maintain the status quo. I'll keep fighting though.

Because I may not fit into most of these groups, but just because someone is different from me, does not mean they should not be able to live happy lives, be the person they are and love who they love. All of you who are dissimilar to me are just as important as I am and the law should consider you all as such. When it doesn't, that's when I have a problem with any of those legislators, even if they are in different states. I wish I had billions of dollars so I could at least try to counteract all the douchy billionaires! 😭

"I know what the event is"

Staring at him.

[livingunderaclassicrock]

happy birthday to me. this has genuinely been the worst year of my life (so far).

but, if there is one thing to be grateful for, this blog gives me a safe space to infodump about my special intrest, and even better, let’s me interact with all of you. so thanks, people of the internet.

[r0semultiverse]

a homestuck update right before an America election, what a year

[gremlin-pattie]

if trump gets re-elected because you cunts want to make a statement by not voting i’m killing all of you

[dailyworldecho]

[antihibikase-archive]

Today was the municipality elections in the PH and. I'm just going to bring up how weird it is how absolutely flawless and quick the process with the municipality elections' staff were, while everything seemed to go wrong during the presidential elections.

Not saying its deliberate but. Its genuinely hard to feel that way.

[klugpuuo]

max of sam fame is genuinely one of the best characters ever written. he's the perfect blend between "pure and utter chaos" and "serene, pensive calm". he's the perfect blend between amoral asshole and genuinely likeable. he's both the most proper guy in the room at almost all times and the most gross slimewad to exist in the s&m universe. he even kills racists. literally what is not to love

[boreal-sea]

Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

EDIT:

Ok fine, I spent 3 hours compiling sources for all of these, you can find that below the cut.

I'll give at least one link per subject area. There are of course many more sources to be read on these subject areas and no post could possibly give someone a full education on these subjects.

Biden and trans rights: https://www.hrc.org/resources/president-bidens-pro-lgbtq-timeline

Trump and trans rights: https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/trump-on-lgbtq-rights-rolling-back-protections-and-criminalizing-gender-nonconformity

The two sources above show how Biden has done a lot of work to promote trans rights, and how Trump did a lot of work to hurt trans rights.

Biden on abortion access: https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/08/politics/what-is-in-biden-abortion-executive-order/index.html

Trump on abortion access: https://apnews.com/article/abortion-trump-republican-presidential-election-2024-585faf025a1416d13d2fbc23da8d8637

Biden openly supports access to abortion and has taken steps to protect those rights at a federal level even after Roe v Wade was overturned. Trump, on the other hand, was the man who appointed the judges who helped overturn Roe v Wade and he openly brags about how proud he is of that decision. He also states that he believes individual states should have the final say in whether or not abortion is legal, and that he trusts them to "do the right thing", meaning he supports stronger abortion bans.

Biden on environmental reform: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/10/07/fact-sheet-president-biden-restores-protections-for-three-national-monuments-and-renews-american-leadership-to-steward-lands-waters-and-cultural-resources/

Trump on environmental reform: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/climate/trump-environment-rollbacks-list.html

Biden has made major steps forward for environmental reform. He has restored protections that Trump rolled back. He has enacted many executive orders and more to promote environmental protections, including rejoining the Paris Accords, which Trump withdrew the USA from. Trump is also well known for spreading conspiracy theories and lies about global climate change, calling it a "Chinese hoax".

Biden on healthcare and prescription reform: https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/06/09/biden-administration-announces-savings-43-prescription-drugs-part-cost-saving-measures-president-bidens-inflation-reduction-act.html

Trump on healthcare reform: https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/07/politics/obamacare-health-insurance-ending-trump/index.html

I'm rolling healthcare and prescriptions and vaccines and public health all into one category here since they are related. Biden has lowered drug costs, expanded access to medicaid, and ACA enrollment has risen during his presidency. He has also made it so medical debt no longer applies to a person's credit score. He signed many executive orders during his first few weeks in office in order to get a handle on Trump's grievous mishandling of the COVID pandemic. Trump also wants to end the ACA. Trump is well known for refusing to wear a mask during the pandemic, encouraging the use of hydroxylchloroquine to "treat" COVID, and being openly anti-vaxx.

Biden on student loan forgiveness: https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-harris-administration-announces-additional-77-billion-approved-student-debt-relief-160000-borrowers

Trump on student loan forgiveness: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamminsky/2024/06/20/trump-knocks-bidens-vile-student-loan-forgiveness-plans-suggests-reversal/

Trump wants to reverse the student loan forgiveness plans Biden has enacted. Biden has already forgiven billions of dollars in loans and continues to work towards forgiving more.

Infrastructure funding:

I'm putting these links next together because they are all about infrastructure.

In general, Trump's "achievements" for infrastructure were to destroy environmental protections to speed up projects. Many of his plans were ineffective due to the fact that he did not clearly outline where the money was going to come from, and he was unwilling to raise taxes to pay for the projects. He was unable (and unwilling) to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill during his 4 years in office. He did sign a few disaster relief bills. He did not enthusiastically promote renewable energy infrastructure. He created "Infrastructure Weeks" that the federal government then failed to fund. Trump did not do nothing for infrastructure, but his no-tax stance and his dislike for renewable energy means the contributions he made to American infrastructure were not as much as he claimed they were, nor as much as they could have been. Basically, he made a lot of promises, and delivered on very few of them. He is not "against" infrastructure, but he's certainly against funding it.

Biden was able to pass that bipartisan bill after taking office. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan that Trump tried to prevent from passing during Biden's term contains concrete funding sources and step by step plans to rebuild America's infrastructure. If you want to read the plan, you can find it here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/build/guidebook/. Biden has done far more for American infrastructure than Trump did, most notably by actually getting the bipartisan bill through congress.

Biden on Racial Equity: https://www.npr.org/sections/president-biden-takes-office/2021/01/26/960725707/biden-aims-to-advance-racial-equity-with-executive-actions

Trump on Racial Equity: https://www.axios.com/2024/04/01/trump-reverse-racism-civil-rights https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-37230916

Trump's racist policies are loud and clear for everyone to hear. We all heard him call Mexicans "Drug dealers, criminals, rapists". We all watched as he enacted travel bans on people from majority-Muslim nations. Biden, on the other hand, has done quite a lot during his term to attempt to reconcile racism in this country, including reversing Trump's "Muslim ban" the first day he was in office.

Biden on DEI: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/06/25/executive-order-on-diversity-equity-inclusion-and-accessibility-in-the-federal-workforce/

Trump on DEI: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-tried-to-crush-the-dei-revolution-heres-how-he-might-finish-the-job/ar-BB1jg3gz

Biden supports DEI and has signed executive orders and passed laws that support DEI on the federal level. Trump absolutely hates DEI and wants to eradicate it.

Biden on criminal justice reform: https://time.com/6155084/biden-criminal-justice-reform/

Trump on criminal justice reform: https://www.vox.com/2020-presidential-election/21418911/donald-trump-crime-criminal-justice-policy-record https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/05/trumps-extreme-plans-crime/678502/

From pardons for non-violent marijuana convictions to reducing the federal government's reliance on private prisons, Biden has done a lot in four years to reform our criminal justice system on the federal level. Meanwhile, Trump has described himself as "tough on crime". He advocates for more policing, including "stop and frisk" activities. Ironically it's actually quite difficult to find sources about what Trump thinks about crime, because almost all of the search results are about his own crimes.

Biden on military support for Israel: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/biden-obama-divide-closely-support-israel-rcna127107

Trump on military support for Israel: https://www.vox.com/politics/353037/trump-gaza-israel-protests-biden-election-2024

Biden supports Israel financially and militarily and promotes holding Israel close. So did Trump. Trump was also very pro-Israel during his time in office and even moved the embassy to Jerusalem and declared Jerusalem the capitol of Israel, a move that inflamed attitudes in the region.

Biden on a ceasefire: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2024/06/05/gaza-israel-hamas-cease-fire-plan-biden/73967659007/

Trump on a ceasefire: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905

Trump has tried to be quiet on the issue but recently said he wants Israel to "finish the problem". He of course claims he could have prevented the whole problem. Trump also openly stated after Oct 7th that he would bar immigrants who support Hamas from the country and send in officers to American protests to arrest anyone supporting Hamas.

Biden meanwhile has been quietly urging Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire deal for months, including the most recent announcement earlier in June, though it seems as though that deal has finally fallen through as well.
