I am more cynical than many but I am still surprised how many people in the FBI decided they needed to take down a president. Maybe I am naive and the same thing has happened to other presidents.  Anybody know which ones?

Bill Maher On Amy Covid Barrett

That man is weird. And his trained seals in the audience shriek at everything he says.

Biden has accumulated a lot of wealth. Maybe he just realizes "the miracle of compound interest."

Why do you think they have not said, "The emails are not Hunter's."
Or, "That is not Hunter's computer."

Trump did not say he grabbed it.

It can be said my father was odd but I never heard him swear, or say anything stronger than darn. The churches I knew about helped a lot of people in their communities.

I have heard the old saw about one running out of gas, late at night, looking for help in a poor part of a large city. People are approaching, would you rather they had just left a Bible study or (choose another group of your choice.)

I am not religious but I can be annoyed by people that mock or ridicule religious people for no reason other than the belief in God. I have not noticed this forum doing this.

People like him can talk earnestly for 30 minutes and not believe one word of what they said.

This west Michigan pastor has had enough.

"From the time he came down the escalator," Mannes said of when he began to feel an internal struggle. "It’s only been building ever since. From the beginning I thought there’s something about this man and the instrument that he is for a lot of things that are just very not Jesus."

I guess to all the right wing Christian hypocrite's credit Jesus never said anything about pussy grabbing.
They might say that it is difficult to support either one. Also some think abortion is a huge issue and might favor Trump's position on that issue.

To stay with the never Trump thinking some good people are not looking good. Believing Biden when he insists he didn't know what Hunter was doing? Going along with the bs that Hunter's computer and emails are a Russian disinformation campaign? Denying the media is caught up in a obvious double standard? Why don't never Trumpers play it straight? Say what you want about Trump but why pretend this other crap is true? It is discrediting you.

Yep, have to admit it is rare a religion does not try to influence the government.
Of course their adherents say it is for better government.
