Re: Pensacola shooter identified as from Saudi Arabia
Islam literally picked up where the Old Testament left off. It just retained all of the gore and punishment whereas Christianity branched off to a more kinder and gentler belief about God. But as we've seen with the Crusades and Inquisition, the human heart is capable of all kinds of evil under the justifications of religion.
Islam is a shit religion... just like, well, all of them... but Islam is not so different than the one you worship.
You obviously know absolutely nothing about it. They are so different I despair of trying to show you how. Mohammed got his religion from a demon in a cave, that incorporated bits and pieces of the Old and New Testaments and managed to completely confuse some of the people in bgoth with each other, Mary with Moses' sister Miriam for instance and I forget who else. Mohammed knew a little bit of the Bible and got it all twisted up. He was basically illiterate and one of his aunts considered him to be demon-possessed and she certainly got that right.
Islam murders people who disagree with it, where in the Old Testament do you find any such thing? THINK carefully because it is not there,.

Re: Authoritarianism Dies A Slow Death. What Replaces It?
A study of scripture, which I spent quite a time on some years ago, shows that women should be wearing a covering on our heads in church and it's wrong that it's been abandoned almost universally these days. Modest dress to avoid tempting men is also commanded in scripture but has also been abandoned. These violations must be bringing judgment on the churches, weakness in evangelism at least, probably contributing to the growing hatred of Christianity and the loss of youth from the churches, which would be a form of such judgment.

the House is unConstitutionally usurping powers with its subpoenas
The White House is rejecting the subpoenas from the House because the whole impeachment undertaking is a sham, and it is also a violation of the separation o f powers. The House seems to think they can boss around the President instead of treating him as a check on their own powers. Their whole star chamber proceeding has completely left him out until the last minute and now they expect him to hop to their bidding. No, they are out of line.

Re: the House is unConstitutionally usurping powers
They are not doing any duty, they are abusing their power against the President and I don't see any way he is abusing his although they accuse him of it all the time. The impeachment is a huge sham just as the Mueller investigation was. Trump cooperated completely with that investigation by the way and has only now started to resist the witch hunt by refusing the Houses's usurpation of authority over him.
And then there was the claiming of mere statements or innuendos as criminal obstruction of justice in the case of the Mueller investigation. which was nothing really but an illegal fishing expedition, and the acceptance of hearsay and opinion as legal testimony in the case of the impeachment. Never before has the nation been subject to such fraud, such corruption of justice and abuse of power as the Mueller investigation and now the House have been doing against Trump.
This is the general gist of the truth I hope will come out in the end but unfortunately these shams are accepted as legitimate by so many it may not be possible. People who merely dislike Trump and impute crimes where there is nothing but a disliked personal style.

An example of the endless fake news against Trump
I caught ABC World News Tonight with *David Muir each evening this week. I think it was Monday, Trump was described as "furious", as he calmly spoke about what he thought of Schiff, or something similar. The next night he was described as "lashing out", for a similar, matter-of-fact statement. Then, Thursday evening, both Joe Biden's and Edith-Bunker Pelosi's meltdowns were reported on. But Pelosi's DON'T MESS WITH ME!!!! tirade wasn't described as "furious" or "lashing out". She just "fired back" according to *Muir. Same with Biden, who said YOU'RE A DAMN LIAR to an elderly man who was, admittedly, being somewhat hostile while asking about his son Hunter. This guy was just a member of the general public, it's not exactly presidential, probably the first time in history a presidential candidate used a 4 letter word while describing to his face one member of the general public. But Biden got pretty much a free pass on it, and of course it's forgotten in the following evening's newscast. While descriptions of "furious" and "lashing out" against Trump often go on several evenings in a row, for only one event.
If you think Trump's responses to this ridiculous impeachment stunt are more damaging to the country than *Muir's fake news alone, then we just have to leave our disagreement there.
Thanks for this. We see this stuff every day and I rarely get it together to report on it. It's probably the essence of fake news, using false words to create a false impression of Trump's behavior and character. Depicting him as emotionally erupting is typical. Every time I check these things out he's cool as a cucumber. This is how media hate-based lying works and I guess most people just take it at face value. You'd think they'd be disgusted with themselves for this kind of subterfuge, but I guess as good leftists they think the ends, discrediting Trump, justify the means.

Re: The Afghanistan papers
Great timing for what? Is there some reason to trust any of the fake news outlets like the Washington Post about anything at all?

Re: The Afghanistan papers
I have no interest in defending any particular view of this but I do have a problem with fake news masquerading as legitimate journalism which the Washington Post is known for, and especially "revelations" that have a political intent during this ongoing witchhunt againt Trump. Yes timing is the issue, plus the fake news nature of the Washington Post.

Re: The Afghanistan papers
You all hope it's a joke, but Trump has done more for the country in his first two years in office than anyone else for decades. Obama did nothing but destroy the economy and destroy our reputation in the world. Trump is building the economy, to a level that hasn't been seen in fifty years, and although the fake news never covers his accomplishments he's also representing us well to other nations.

Re: The Afghanistan papers
No, fake news means false, or distorted, but usually false.
Like, as Marc9000 reported back a ways, all the news reports describing Trump as being "furious" or some such when he was perfectly calm. This is an everyday lie the media puts out to give a false impression to the public..
However, how is the timing so great?

Re: The Afghanistan papers
I missed Percy's post but I've seen dozens of examples of that sort of coverage being totally fake. More than dozens, many more.
I just want to know how this Wash Post story is "good timing."

Re: Horowitz Report No Bias
And there's plenty else that confirms it.
Also, Barr or was it Durham, strongly disputes something that was leaked from the Horowitz report recently, the claim that there was good reason for the Mueller investigation in the first place. guess that will be coming out soon.
