These Democrats think theyve won some kind of pseudo-victory and get all the control of these committees and theyre going to go after Trump, McDonald said. I would submit to you, my friendand Im saying this from a strictly spiritual standpointIve never seen a president that has God working through him more, has worked through him more, than this one.
I do believe President Trump has Gods hand upon him, he continued. I would warn the Democrats tonightand Im not saying this flippantly, Im not saying this to be funnyIm warning them very seriously, they had better be careful how they touch this president and they better be careful what they do. It will be to their destruction personally, it will be to their destruction as a party.

1. There's a huge difference between "harass" and "hold Trump accountable", douche. We're doing the latter, and consider it payback for the stolen election.
2. With morons like these at the helm, no wonder Trump has a 75% approval rating among Christian conservatives.

My great grandmas were all hard steely eyed women of the Wild West, property owning, gun toting, knife wielding masters of their domains.
I suspect the feminists of the original Christian churches were so terrifying to the Roman Patriarchy that it tried to erase them.
Yeah, I'm looking at you, Paul.

Wisconsin Rep. Don Pridemore--a co-sponsor of a bill to penalize single mothers-- helpfully suggests that, rather than divorcing an abusive spouse, you should try to remember the things you love about the guy while he is beating you up. You know... so you don't get penalized later for being single.
================================
We have Christians in America who teach how to beat babies.
These must be some lovely people (sarcasm).

(33,245 posts)Lo, and God looked upon the land and saw the evil therein, with much racism and misogyny and the cheating of the people and He was angered. But the people were much involved with their distractions and attractions and did not rise up to smite the evil ones and did not stand up for their brethren and sistren and undecided, who suffered daily under the heels of the false prophets who had stolen the power and took from the needy to give to the greedy.
So God did search the land for an punisher and found the orange con and he was a tool and a fool and the evil ones did become mesmerized by his emptiness and buffoonery. And God did install the orange one into power to punish the evil, the greedy, the racist, the hateful, the misogynist, and, yea, even the apathetic app worshipper.
See then the Lord thy God has visited upon the land a great plague of orangeness so that there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth and the vermin like unto the con came forth from their hiding places and the people could see the corruption and foulness in their midst. And the people suffered under the fools and the hate mongers and the greed mongers and the vermin which had come from their hiding places amongst the people and the punishment continued for two years though it seemed an eternity.
And the women began to rise, of all colors and creeds and cultures, and they did call upon all the people to rise with them, and the people not enthralled by the con came forth and spoke against the evil ones, the greedy, the hateful, and the foul vermin in their midst. And it was like unto a great army across the land crying, "Times up!", and "Love Trumps Hate!", and the ranks of the army swelled and marched and voted and their power washed over the land, knocking greed mongers and hate mongers and racists and rapists out of their houses of power.
Across the land there was once more much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but, Lo, it was now the foul vermin of the land who were in shock and agony at their loss to such an multitude of races and genders and religions and inclusions and love. And God looked upon the carnage and said unto the vermin, "Take that, assholes!"

(10,252 posts)Is that all you've got, Chris? Vague threats? Well here's my response to you empty threats
The Dhammapada (first part)
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.
You too shall pass away.
Knowing this, how can you quarrel?

(50,528 posts)If there was a god, he would have smited Donald Trump a LONG time ago. Let's look at the Ten Commandments:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Trump's god is green and has pictures of Benjamin Franklin on it.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Does writing your name on everything count?
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Trump does this a lot.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. The only thing he remembers about the sabbath day is to make a tee time for it.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother. Well...he did build a golf course in Scotland in honor of his mom, so let's say he did this at least once.
6. Thou shalt not kill. Remember Jamal Khashoggi.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Posted without comment.
8. Thou shalt not steal. IIRC Trump has settled 3500 lawsuits about welshing on his debts.
9. Thou shalt not lie. Trump is famous as one of the world's great bullshit artists.
10. Thou shalt not covet. After adultery, stealing and lying, coveting is the thing Trump does best.
Nine out of ten. Not good, not good.
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,245 posts)Thou shalt not bear false witness.
That's far more specific than "thou shalt not lie".
Trump is still guilty, but it's a far greater wrong that he does when he, for example, says Obama created ISIS, than when he claims he didn't say something that a recording shows that he did say.
Look at the effect of his "Crooked Hillary" branding. No telling how many people now think she's "crooked" just because of his bearing such false witness.
That's a bigger evil than him lying about how smart or healthy he is.
