How?

Some religions are not monotheistic.  By using a term that promotes one type of a religion over another (i.e. monotheism) the state is promoting one religion over another.

That said, this is an issue that I care very little about these days.

We should not be needing the bikers to bring food to our concentration camps. The government should be taking care of it. That they are not is beyond criminal negligence.

The government does take care of it... they contract with the company that operates the detention centers. This is the root of the immigration problem; MONEY.

All this talk about Kushner and the GOP leading on Criminal Justice Reform is a smokescreen for a shift in the markets in the Prison Industrial Complex.

Obama began phasing out the private prison corporations so they had to find a new market. Trump came down the escalator yapping about Mexico not sending their best and the PIC poured tons of money into Trump’s campaign and they “won” the contracts for immigration detention centers.

Brown Invasion?

KA-CHING!

Suckers.

The GEO Group, Inc. (GEO)

Hot stock, with a nice dividend. They run the detention centers for illegals who otherwise would be marauding in the sanctuary cities. Free meals, a roof over their heads, air conditioning, and TV while they await a judge' s decision. Better than surviving on birds and insects in a mud thatched hut in a sweltering central American rain forest anyday ? Worth the treacherous sojourn. ---pack up the kids mama were going to america---.

Quite the boondoggle you found, Luee. Gonna help buy the CEO another yacht?

GEO and Core Civics or whatever the fuck they are calling themselves these days jacked their whole business plans from Man in the High Tower draft scripts.

Good for you Luee. You found some domestic slavers active this very day.

All monotheistic religions are essentially one faith with different interpreters.

Polytheistic and Atheistic religions are harmed by this explicit preference for monotheistic theology.

Luckiest guy in the House is Matt Gaetz. Because a helicopter crashed in midtown the Hearings are only live on CSPAN 3 and Gaetz won’t look like such a schmeckle on live tv.

But man is he gonna get dragged through the twitterverse.

Polytheism is widespread in the US.
What is your point?

I made it earlier.  So have several others. I'm sorry you missed it. 

But, as I also said, in a country where Donald Trump is President one of the last things I concern myself with is the language on a coin.

A total win-win. Deprived kids and their many relatives get to experience the America they they have heard and dreamed about since womb days. USA workers get a lot of nice paying jobs without the foreign competition. Grandma and grandpa get to supplement their fixed income by investing in a safe high dividend paying stock. Hardly slavery, it is not as if they have to knock out nikes or pick cotton. Must be a wonderful experience, they keep coming in ever expanding numbers.

Work for $1 a day, or solitary? Remind you of your own upbringing much, Luee? What’s the rolling body count?

LOL
So Congress democratically( with large majorities) passed legislation permitting “ in God we trust
on US currency. President Eisenhower the supreme leader of our wwIi effort signed the Bill  completing the Constitutional requirements of a Law. That law has withstood legal challenges that
have not been controversial. 90 per cent of Americans,when asked, have no problem with the words. 80 per cent of Americans profess some sort of religious belief. Yet our country has no state sponsored religion. Many Americans,  most of all atheists, from time to time have protested that
“ in God we trust” promotes the establishment of a religion but cannot convince the Courts or their fellow citizens.  And so it goes.

How does Trump enter this discussion or is he the center of your universe?

“for all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!” YOUR POTUS's universe.

The moon is a part of Mars. Who knew? What a fucking dope.
