The vast majority of Christians have no idea what is in their book. They let barely educated "pastors" spoon feed them crap that isn't even in the bible.
The average atheist knows more of what is in the bible than the average Christian. Most atheists I know have read the bible more than Christians. Also, when most Christians have reduced the bible to pithy phrases and taking verses out of context. There is no surprise to me that evangelicals support Donnie. It is par for the course. Their religion has reduced them to beg for an authoritarian figure to remove all decisions from them. Patriarchy at it's finest.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Spilling state secrets so Putin won't release the "pee" tape.

We are much closer to a constitutional crisis than most people realize. I do think that donnie is trying to push this issue to national emergency so that he can try to usurp additional powers. If that happens there is nothing the congress can do at this point. They have conceded too much power already.
The key will be to see how individual states stand and how the military stands. He is not well loved by military brass or rank and file, but enough are trumpers to mean a huge potential for violent conflict. I fear Putin is close to getting what he bought and paid for. The destruction of the United States as a world power. The tipping point is near. Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

I am optimistic we can persevere again once we have rid ourselves of that jingoistic narcissistic moron in the Oval Office. The question is how much damage to the nation, and to the world, will we suffer in his wake.
Can the union survive two more years of him, or six and still be the same union? I doubt it.
Hey, we did it to them a generation ago.
In actuality they did it to themselves. The economic system they chose was unsustainable. The economic system they have in Russia currently is also unsustainable. Our economic system is sustainable it is our social system that is unsustainable.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument.

This is all stems from when the GOP decided that politics was a zero-sum game. To a great extent, compromise was a hallmark of US politics. With the rise of the radical, religious right and the tea party, compromise is seen as a weakness. This was one of the crowning failures of Obama. He thought until close to the end of his presidency that the GOP would compromise for the good of the country. But instead most of them saw an uppity n-word. They were not satisfied until he and the Dems lost. There was no compromise acceptable to them. To them, it is party over country.
There will be no stability or moving forward in the US until the current Republican drifts away inti insignificance. Hopefully then, a new conservative party will arise to put a check on the worst impulses of the progressive movement(of which I am a proud member). Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

Prager University is the brainchild of Dennis Prager. He is a well-known extreme right nut job. Fact check anything he says.

It is just as likely that the sexual assault charges are not trumped up.

I think Barr chose him for a reason and it is not to get to the truth.

Nancy Pelosi is the most politically adept person in the US at this time. I think the Dems should let her continue to guide them for now. I know it is hard to sit back, but the Democratic Party is not doing nothing. I do believe she is playing 3 dimensional chase while donnie is trying to put his socks on.

So does marc9000 think Russia is a communist state? He can't be that clueless can he? I mean I thought everyone knew of the fall of the USSR, which wasn't actually communist in the first place.

Sounds very ante-bellum South!
Sounds very Constitutional. The US government is not apportioned by citizens but by people. Are you claiming we shouldn't count children either? They are not jacking up their clout, the Census is following the dictates of the Constitution. Using you logic Texas, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina are jacking up their clout too. Do you want to take your comment and make an actual argument?Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
