"you sold your soul to the republican party, you have no idea what the gospel is about,you have adopted a salvation by works doctrine in which good works are measured by political rightness, and being anti abortion."

I am not a member of the GOP in any way, though I admit I once was. I vote Republican because they're positions are more closely in tune with reason, logic, facts and also Christianity. You couldn't hope to prove otherwise.


Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)
you are the loyal little brainwashed slave of the 1%. you think the GOP is the big deal it;s just another tool they use. You are GOP you are brainwashed to bark any time they snap their fingers.

"He has bot fulfilled a single promise he made, Has Mexico paid for the wall? smell the coffee"

This is rank ignorance and if you won't inform yourself, you have no business weighing in. Here's a very short list of promises he's kept:

I'm a Ph,D candidate in history of ideas, you have been brain washed to think of agreement with your politics as knowledge and disagreement with them as ignorance that is real stupidity.

--Moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel's capital, Jerusalem.

that helps no one it is provocative and destabilizing and accomplished nothing

--Appointing Constitutionally sound jurists to every level of judicial branch of government.

they are fascists who want to end the bill of rights and will allow Trump to continue his criminal enterprise

--Improving the economy (this alone satisfies multiple promises related to this issue)

He did not accomplish that Obama did, it does not justify murdering poor people or selling out america to Russia

9:02 PM 

Joseph Hinman (Metacrock) said...

--Strengthening the military.

you could cut that by half it would still be the most powerful in the world

--Securing the border (an ongoing task, and it's incomplete status does not indicate a failed promise. It also satisfies multiple promises related to this issue).

the evil he's done to 5000 children marks him as the anti Christ he's on par with Hitler. the truth is illegal emigration had died to a trickle before the asshole made it an issue, he caused the influx to revive by talking about cutting it off.

--Extricating us from bad treaties, such as the Iran deal, Paris climate accords, etc.

that ingenious move allows Iran to make nucs again.

--Improving trade such as replacing NAFTA with the USMCA

that genius move had destroyed small farms all over the country

Again, a short list of promises made and kept by Trump. You likely have no idea of what promises he's made beyond making Mexico pay for the wall.

all typically bad moves all lauded by his brainless lackies.

"He's turned it into a laughing stock"

What follows the above quote is incomprehensible. Read my second point at the beginning of this comment and restate your case in an intelligible manner.

Trump has destroyed the NATO alliance the leaders of those nations think he's a fool,the average people think Americans are fools. I have several friends in England and France this is what they tell me,

"how? SHOW ME ONE REASON."

He's defended religious freedom and expression. His support for the pro-life cause aligns with Christian values, as does his support for constitutional/American principles in general.

that's utter bull shit, The right to life movement (What a joke name for it,they hate life, is not serious about stopping abortion, you could end it tomorrow by pushing RU486

This is true because of the influence of Christianity on the founding of this nation. It's got nothing to do with converting anyone to Christianity, and my position doesn't suggest such a thing. Pay attention.

America does not have a covenant relationship with God like that of ancient Israel WE do not have a formal relationship with Christianity  we have freedom of religion we do not have an established national religion,even leaders of the Evangelical movement used to acknowledge this before the chuckle heads in the moral majority came along

"You amuse you know you don;t know enough about theology to even define heresy, you think not being republican is heresy,"

Try me.

"like he;s the messiah you really are in a Trump worship cult."

Never have, nor never would refer to Trump as a messiah, nor do I regard him as such. But the fact that he has "saved" the nation from many harms brought about by Obama, particularly economically, is beyond question.

you have no understanding of economics you've been brain washed to be ignorant,

Thus, Trump is presently the right man for the job.

Obama saved us from Total economic collapse in 2008 the economy improved every year of his eight years.In fact the surge under trump was predicted in 2012 by fornicated based upon projections of Obamna years,

A comment from one of the superhero movies (I believe the Batman trilogy with Christian Bale) expresses the sentiment best: He's not the hero we wanted, but the hero we need. Trump might not be the president we wanted, but he's proven himself to be the president we need.

rationalizing his evil to appease the greed of your masters

Sez you, wiener.

name calling just proves that you have not the intellect to argue on an intellectual level, asshole

"You don't want to see truth Look at the way you try to dismiss the facts by sledging they are my personal problems."

They are your personal problems, among so many others.

Stupid you know nothing about me,

"The law says when the house impeaches a President the Senate must have a trail. It's the law."

"You are not even honest enough to look at the facts,"

that is a fact cretin. You just proved that you can't handle facts.

I not only look at them, I actually understand them.

OK show me how the house did not impeach the pretender and how the senate trial is not mandatory.

"You are giving me a meaningless hypothetical."


Your abortion thing was totally irrelevant, you are dodging the issue.

It's based on the actual question posed to him based on YOUR telling of it.

the Issue wrote about was how the senate in fixing the trial so it was not a real trial set trump above the law destroyed the system of checks and balances and turned america into a dictatorship. It has noting to do with abortion that is totally irrelevant,

"you dismiss the evil he does"

I dismiss nothing. I dismiss your understanding of what he's done...your imaginings of what he's done. I dismiss YOU.

He's destroying the country. Pull your head out and look at the truth, 65,000 people are going to die every year because of that selfish little creep's destruction of pollination laws.That's real it;s proven stop hiding from truth.


"People like you have turned Christianity into a mockery."

Sez the guy who tries to insist the Holy Spirit affirms the acceptance of homosexual behavior and abortion.

when did I ever say anything of the kind? You are brain washed. You can't reson about the truth because you are afraid of those who are not in the cult,

There is no such law. The Senate is only conferred with "sole authority" to do so, just as the House has "sole authority" to impeach. Doesn't mean either is required by law to do either.
they are required to have a trail they did not they had a joke

Speculation of a most biased kind.


No I can document it with studies, no Magic trump make believe, its fact. it's science.

Read my research

How many lives? Trump balance sheet

"You are living in a dream."

You're a nightmare.

you can;t face the facts, you can't answer you call names because you can't face the truth,



"He has no skill or achievement."

Demonstrably false. I don't mean "demonstrably false" in the way Dan uses the expression. I mean it's easy to note his skill and achievements...at least it is for honest people. Find an honest person and ask.

All the major people who have been around him say he can't read, that;s been documented in source after source.He was born into wealth, he has no skill in business he was born rich ,it doesn't matter who talented he may be he set himself above the law..

"He did not make the economy better, Obama did!"

Obama said the crappy economy was the new normal and that Trump would need a magic wand to make it better. You can't cite one policy of Obama that did anything to improve the economy, much less explain how it did.

No Obama did not say that, The economy tubed under Bush Obama got itgoin again it improved every year he was in,

"he stole the office and you are putting materiel gain over spiritual truth, you are spiritually bankrupt."

How did he get all those states to give him the electoral votes needed to win? That would indicate a level of skill even I didn't ever attribute to him!

it wasn't very many states, he did not win by a big margin and the popular vote he lost outright.The Dems used poor campaign savy and didn't campaign in the rust belt


Material gain is how normal people measure economic improvement, given that economic improvement indicates material gain.

not due to anything he's done,

You wouldn't know truth...spiritual or otherwise...if it kicked you in your lady parts.

that is a lie of satan I know Jesus I don't think you do. every argument you've made is about selfish monitory gain, You are not the least bit concerned about people, or about truth or justice. you are afraid to examine the facts.

"yes! I am sick,"

Wow. A breakthrough.

"...because the what mindless cretins like you have done to sell your souls to wolves in sheep's clothing"

Don't know any mindless cretins who aren't you. I didn't sell my soul to anyone.

you sold your soul to the republican party, you have no idea what the gospel is about,you have adopted a salvation by works doctrine in which good works are measured by political rightness, and being anti abortion.


I voted for a guy who promised things that would improve life for the entire nation,

He has bot fulfilled a single promise he made, Has Mexico paid for the wall? smell the coffee

someone who wasn't Hillary Clinton, and my risk has paid off nicely. He's done far more that has aligned with the Christian faith than Hillary would have, and more than most center-right presidents of the past have done.

He's turned it into a laughing stock, I have been dining Christian apologetic on the net for 20 years, people i;v been trying to the Lord for years just laugh about the idea of "finding Jesus: because to them Christianity has been disproved,it's hypocritical,



Indeed, rather than destroying the faith, he's helped it out rather well.

how? SHOW ME ONE REASON. Because you feel your enemies will be crushed not becasue anyone is finding the Lord, your kind of
chrisiabity os based on hate , you couldn't care less if people go to hell


YOU, on the other hand, continue to mock the faith with your many heresies.

You amuse you know you don;t know enough about theology to even define heresy, you think not being republican is heresy,

Jesus warned us against the likes of you and Dan.

who? who the hell is Dan?


We who don't fart around with the faith or truth know who Trump is. We also know who YOU are.

It's just too bad that Trump doesn't act in every case how you might expect him to act.

Joe: Listen you are totally unaware of what is happening in the world today you are living in your own little bubble supported by Trump lies and propaganda. You don't want to see truth Look at the way you try to dismiss the facts by sledging they are my personal problems. You say that because you have heard opinion leads tell you that,you are regurgitating propaganda.

Anonymous said...But you, in your hatred and corruption, insist that his refusal to respond to this particular question reveals to you what you need and want it to reveal. That is, it's another of your personal problems.

Joe:Now my friend you could not be more wrong. It's objectivity factual that you are wrong. The law says when the house impeaches a President the Senate must have a trail. It's the law. They did not have a trial for removal. They did not have a trial they said up front it would not be a fair trail they said it. look it up. They had a fixed show trail that did not allow evidence or witnesses that is not a trial. They broke the law.

You tell me that I am corrupt you follow a dictator who set's himself above the law who suborns fixed trails and subverts the law the constitution. You are not even honest enough to look at the facts,

But what if he was involved with someone who had an abortion? Does that suggest he was in any way personally involved with that evil choice? Could it not also mean that the abortion took place before his involvement with the person? Not to your sick, deceitful mind.


what the heck are you talking about? You are giving me a meaningless hypothetical. you dismiss the evil he does you are not even aware of the vast evil he's done and you don't care, you think abortion is the only sin. People like you have turned Christianity into a mockery. Trump is a wolf in sheep's clothing, open your eyes man!

I'm aware of his shortcomings as a man and as a president.

No you are not, you are not even dimly aware of it he's done vast evil that harms millions, you only think about the piddling personal sexual things, big deal. 45,000 people a year will die in the future because he took away protections on air pollution. 13,000 from striking regs on coal fired plants you don't even have an inkling do you? You are living in a dream.

As to the latter, he has proven his shortcomings are more than displaced by his skill and achievement. You know this and you don't care because you're into brutality because you're too corrupt and given over to your evil to change for the better.

He has no skill or achievement.He doesn't know how to read,did you know that?He did not make the economy better, Obama did! It was already good after an 8 year trend of steady improvement when he stole the office and you are putting materiel gain over spiritual truth, you are spiritually bankrupt.

You're sick in the soul...assuming you have one...as well as in the head.

yes! I am sick, because the what mindless cretins like you have done to sell your souls to wolves in sheep's clothing to wolves in sheep's clothing and destroying the
christian faith makes me sick. Jesus warned us. He said there will be wolves in sheep's clothing you said "that's forme."

Trump admen uses counselling to torment children at the border

Trump Redefines Human Rights

We all know about the monstrous Nazi like violations of human rights of 5000 children kept in cages at the boarder. But what else has Trump done to create moral outrage on  human rights?

The Trump administration is coming under fire for its refusal to engage with international human rights monitors over potential violations inside the US, from police brutality and executions to the abuse of migrant children at the border.Protests have poured in from organisations objecting to the government’s virtual boycott of established systems designed to protect human rights, after the US withdrew from the United Nations human rights council last year. Washington is accused of rebuffing official complaints from monitors, undermining human rights bodies and threatening officials with prosecution should they set foot on US soil.[1]

the state department claims to remain “deeply committed to the promotion and defense of human rights around the globe”[2] yet it declines comment on the allegations otherwise. "The cold shoulder given to some of the world’s most respected human rights experts marks an extraordinary about-turn for the US, which under previous presidents has prided itself for upholding standards. The US was central to the creation in 1945 of the UN, which is headquartered in New York."[3]

Human right organizations find the pace of violations connected to the Trump administration is growing. Columbia law school human rights institute has developed the human rights tracker.
"It is difficult to keep up with all that the new administration is doing that threatens human rights. Each day brings fresh news of a damaging initiative by the President of the United States.
This tracker was designed to help journalists, civil society organizations, and the general public understand how the Trump Administration is impacting human rights."[4]

The administration has signaled minimal support for rights but everything it has done suggests the opposite. They rolled back efforts to reduce over incarceration. One might be tempted to argue "what about over commission of crimes that make incarceration necessary?" Well consider state and federal jails hold over 2 million people,4.5 million on probation or parole.[5]  Women are the fastest growimg segentothe indorceratedpoploation that is across the nation. more than 700 percent between 1980 and 2016. Human Rights Watch documented the lasting harm of jailing mothers pretrial, many of whom simply cannot afford bail in that state.32000 kids incarcerated in adult jails.[6] [7]

The 121-page report, “You Miss So Much When You’re Gone’: The Lasting Harm of Jailing Mothers Before Trial in Oklahoma,” finds that jailing mothers even for short periods of time can result in overwhelming debt and loss of child custody. Based on more than 160 interviews with jailed and formerly jailed mothers, substitute caregivers, children, attorneys, service providers, child welfare employees, and advocates, this joint report by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) documents the harms experienced by women with minor children jailed pretrial in Oklahoma – which incarcerates more women per capita than any other state.[8]

Mothers plead guilty ad don't fight charges because they have to get back  with the children.
“Mothers are often presented with exorbitant bills for their jail stay in addition to other fines and fees, making it harder for them to get back on their feet and establish the stability they need to regain custody of their children.”[9]

There also racial inquiries:

Racial disparities permeate every part of the US criminal justice system. Black people are 13 percent of the population but close to 40 percent of those in prisons. They are incarcerated at more than five times the rate of white people. Black people use illegal drugs at similar rates to white people, but suffer drug arrests at significantly higher rates...According to the Washington Post, police reportedly shot and killed 876 people in the US as of the beginning of October. Of those killed, whose race is known, 22 percent were black. Of the unarmed people killed by police, 39 percent were black. The Justice Department rolled back efforts to investigate local police departments following credible reports of systemic constitutional violations. Some state governments have taken on this oversight role. Racial disparities in police use of force, arrests, citations, and traffic stops continue to exist.[10]  

 Translates into voter suppression

Millions of people still cannot vote due to a patchwork of felony disenfranchisement laws across the country. However, in November, Florida voters approved a ballot initiative during the mid-term elections that restored the right to vote for 1.4 million residents with felony convictions. The initiative was one of several that states passed that advanced criminal justice reform, including an initiative in Colorado that removed language in the state constitution that permitted convicted criminals to be forced to work in prison without pay or restitution; an initiative in Florida, allowing sentencing reforms to be retroactive; one in Michigan that legalized marijuana for recreational use; and another in Washington state that strengthened police accountability.[11]

Ted Galen Carpenter of the Cato institute harps on the inconsistency of American  foreign policy to staunchly support dictators throughout the 20th century while preaching democracy around the world. He Then states; "Likewise, the Trump administration’s relationship with Saudi Arabia’s murderous totalitarian theocracy remains exceedingly close, despite Riyadh’s genocidal war in Yemen and other outrages."[12]

Yet all of this pales in comparison, In the grand style of Trump always the biggest,the best,the better, if he's strong he's Herculean, if he's smart he's Spock, if he;s evil he;s the anti- 
christ, Trump wi;; now redefine human rights! He has actually instituted a commission for this very purpose! WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Monday that he was installing a human rights advisory panel in the State Department, and named a conservative law professor as its chairwoman, to review and tighten the agency’s definition of human rights and ensure it is grounded in the “nation’s founding principles” and a 1948 United Nations declaration.[13] 

This, remember, is the administration that has consistently relegated human rights in its valueless foreign policy; saw in the Saudi murder and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi no cause to reprimand Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman; embraced North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un; kowtowed to every autocrat outside Iran and Venezuela; and separated migrant children from their families to hold them in appalling camps.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Monday the creation of a Commission on Unalienable Rights to provide “an informed review of the role of human rights in American foreign policy.” But this superficially laudable step is fraught with threats to the very human rights that it purports to strengthen.[14]

That is because, as Pompeo suggested, the purpose of the commission is not to uphold all rights but to pick and choose among them: “What does it mean to say or claim that something is, in fact, a human right? How do we know or how do we determine whether that claim that this or that is a human right, is it true, and therefore, ought it to be honored?”[15]

Trump’s SOTU Speech Bristled With Fascist Politics

BY

Henry A. Giroux, 

Truthout

PUBLISHED

February 5, 2020

https://truthout.org/articles/trumps-sotu-speech-bristled-with-fascist-politics/

Authoritarian societies protect the powerful — not the poor or vulnerable — and Trump made that clear in boasting about tax policies that largely benefit the ultra-rich and major corporations. He lied about supporting workers’ rights and “restoring manufacturing rights” even as he continues to implement regulatory roll-backs that endanger both the environment and the health of workers and many other people in the U.S. His claim that he has launched the great American comeback is laced with death-dealing policies that range from criminalizing social problems, demonizing and punishing undocumented immigrants and their children, and laying claim to ultra-nationalist and white supremacist rhetoric that echoes the social and racial cleansing policies of earlier fascist societies. When Trump says in his speech “our families are flourishing,” he leaves out the misery and suffering he has inflicted on the many people who don’t fit into his white Christian notion of the public sphere, as well as on the immigrants and other people of color whom he has deemed disposable.

America is Dead, we live in the kingdom of Trump

America is Dead, we live in the kingdom of Trump

Burning the Reichstag 1933


The Republicans of U.S.Senate have united and marched the Republic off the cliff and into the world of fascist dictatorship. Should  there be  any doubt  that this  is the case consider:  

(1) The Senate just voted totally along party lines  to forgo a real trial eve though the House met it's constitutional mandate to require a trial. WE see in this the Repuboicans will do anything Trup tells them do do.

(2) Trump really does believe the constitution gives him unlimited power.

(3) Can there be any doubt he believes he's above the law? Clearly the Republican senators believe he's above the law.

Let's look at the the first step in Trump's power play advancing notions of unlimited power, Trump has been documented making several statements to this effect: "President Donald Trump on Tuesday inaccurately suggested the Constitution gives him the power to do 'whatever he wants' as president...While criticizing the former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference, Trump said, 'Then I have an Article 2, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.'"[1] There is a much more through list in audio were many more of Trump's statements are recorded from  el presidente  Himself. The issues are discussed by John Iadarola and Brett Erlich. [2]

Of course Trump is way off base; That very section of the constitution (article II section 2) Limits the President's power by defining it and setting it in checks and balances.  One such check is impeachment which is spelled out in that very section,[3] There is also the oath of office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." He swore to defend the constitution but he subverted the constitution by, among other things, scraping the impeachment trial,which is prescribed in the constitution. The house voted to impeach so they had to have a trail. But instead they had a coronation. This is very serious, the Republicans derailed justice they turned constitutional mandate for justice into  joke.

According to one version of Christian theology, St. Augustine no less: St. Augustine (354-430), "in Book IV of The City of God, relates the story about the pirate who had been seized and brought before Alexander the Great. The cheeky pirate asks Alexander what is the real difference between a pirate and an emperor apart from the scale of action."[4]

The actual quote:

Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms? The band itself is made up of men; it is ruled by the authority of a prince, it is knit together by the pact of the confederacy; the booty is divided by the law agreed on. If, by the admittance of abandoned men, this evil increases to such a degree that it holds places, fixes abodes, takes possession of cities, and subdues peoples, it assumes the more plainly the name of a kingdom, because the reality is now manifestly conferred on it, not by the removal of covetousness, but by the addition of impunity. Indeed, that was an apt and true reply which was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride, “What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor[5]

That is what the Trump administration, is a criminal enterprise. Think about it, He's violated the  Emoluments clause in numerous ways (such as holding important meetings with foreign dignitaries at venues from which he profits), His daughter getting trademarks from China all the time [6] so on. Trump is so detached from reality there surely must be a group of people somewhere who are really  running things so it is an organized gang.

The one last ray of hope still shining: we must go all out to make sure the Republicans don't win the elections, . Take back the Senate, hang on to the house,take back back the white house.
