The Seven Deadly Sins And Trump.....

Did you ever realize how Trump personifies the Seven Deadly Sins?

Lust – to have an intense desire or need: “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28).

Gluttony – excess in eating and drinking: “for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags” (Proverbs 23:21).

Greed - excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness: “Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more” (Ephesians 4:19).

Laziness – disinclined to activity or exertion: not energetic or vigorous: “The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway” (Proverbs 15:19).

Wrath – strong vengeful anger or indignation: “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1)

Envy – painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage: “Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:1-2).

Pride - quality or state of being proud – inordinate self esteem: “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before
a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).


We watched the movie Shazam yesterday and this is what came to mind and prompted me to post this.

If I were more computer literate I would search for pictures of Trump that illustrate Trump's affinity to the Seven Deadly Sins. If anyone is handy at fusing these 7 Deadly Sins with pics of Trump here are some examples. Please take a whack at it and post them in this thread.

Some suggestions that come to mind:

Lust = from pussy grabbing to hush money payments to assaults to rape

Gluttony = his KFC/McDonald's eating habits

Greed = countless examples of pics of Trump and greed

Laziness = a fat Trump on a golf cart

Wrath = Trump hitting back at anyone that criticizes him

Envy = Trump's envy of Obama

Pride= Trump calling himself the 'best president ever; genius; etc

“There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers” (Proverbs 6:16-19).

If Trump Rachet's Up An Iran Controversy To Distract From Mueller's Testimony Next Week.....

if you were CNN or MSNBC - what would you cover as news - the Mueller Testimony or the Trump Iranian Distraction?

It will be interesting to see what CNN and MSNBC do.

July 19, 2019

Looks Like The Distraction For Next Week's Mueller Testimony Will Be.....

centered around Iran. They started with the misinformation campaign on this yesterday. It will ramp up over the next few days - until the MSM picks up this story as their lead.

Is There Any Chance That The Dems Could Mount A Challenge To - You Can't Indict A Sitting.....

president?

It just makes me sick that Trump can commit crimes and get away with them under the cover of the presidency.

I don't know if it's possible - but is there a way that the Dems could challenge this 'can't indict a sitting president' rule.

Help me here - this is just an interpretation and not a law or not written into the Constitution.

Even if it's a long shot to challenge this. I think the Dems should go for it. We can't have this guy continue to give us that smug look like he's laughing at us because he knows he getting away with no consequences.

Call On Trump To Resign......

We already have enough on Trump to call for his resignation with respect to his being a sexual predator and assaulter including the latest videos of him with Epstein. Now we have his racist comments to add to this and the vote in the House yesterday condemning Trump's racial tweets on the 4 Congresswomen.

I've posted this a couple of times before and here it is again:

Trump Is Expecting Impeachment - What We Need To Do Is Call For His Resignation.....

Look - he's expecting impeachment for collusion and obstruction. He can deal with that. He knows he can use that with his deplorable base. He knows Mitch would even help him beat it in the Senate. Look how he used that impeachment call vote in the House yesterday to make his fake case that he is being hounded by the Dems.

He's got to be hit with something he doesn't expect. That something is to demand his resignation for being a sexual predator and assaulter. He certainly has a long history of sexual accusations pinned on him. Hell - his own ex-wife accused him of rape. Last week it was a woman he attacked in a dressing room of a store. This week he's being pinned to his old friend Epstein and underaged girls. Fifteen other women have also accused him. He's on record of invading the dressing rooms of young beauty pagent contestants -



And of course there's the famed bus recording of his 'pussy grabbing' bragging and his payment of hush money to porn stars.

What makes him different that Epstein; Weinstein; Lauer; Cosby; Spacey; R.Kelly ; et al. can be brought down - but he can elude and continue to skate by. He even had a modelling agency ala Epstein.

If a concerted effort is placed on him pointing out his history of sexual preditation it would completely take him by surprise. I think it might even render him speechless. And if the level of attention to this is such that all that is said about him is calling for his resignation and pointing out 24/7 his sexual addiction - I think it would even be hard for Mitch and the Repugs to continue to circle the wagons for him.

Look what happened to Al Franken for a staged comical picture of him. Just a made up scandal took Franken down. Look what the Repugs did to Biden - just for his touching on shoulders. There is a tsunami more of actual, real and admitted sexual offenses on Trump.

Yeah - it's not in his DNA to resign - but just the pressure put on him based on his history of being a sexual predator would put him off his game.

Let's not normalize this behavior of him like we do all the other crap he pulls.

I really think if this is really done in earnest - call for his resignation based on his sexual proclivities - he could be brought down.

He's not expecting such an onslaught nor does he have the ability to defend himself of this.

Here's what I found out of Trump and Human Trafficking

Consider the above revelations as they might relate to other disturbing facts about Donald Trump such as:

- Trump has boasted about his attendance at 1970s New York City sex parties. “I would watch supermodels getting screwed, well-known supermodels getting screwed, on a bench in the middle of the room. There were seven of them and each one was getting screwed by a different guy,” Donald J. Trump told interviewer Michael Gross for the book My Generation.
- Men who attended parties with Trump have described how young girls were “passed around” amongst the men like currency or cocaine.
- Trump bought the rights to Miss Universe in 1996. He has boasted about being able to “walk in on” beauty pageant contestants as they change clothing.
- Trump was named in the lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein, who paid a $75,000 fine related to his pedophilia when he lived in Florida. Trump was named as a rapist of a 13-year-old girl in the lawsuit.
- Under oath, Trump’s first wife Ivana accused him of raping her in 1989. He was dating Marla Maples at the time, and he and Ivana had reportedly not been physical for 16 months. Trump allegedly raped Ivana and ripped hair from her head as “payback” for her recommending a scalp surgeon who caused him pain. When you read the transcript, it’s not easy to forget (nor disbelieve) the scene she describes.
- The makeup artist Jill Hearth accused Trump of ongoing sexual misconduct in the early 1990s.
- In 2005 boasted on tape about being able to grab women between the legs without repercussions.
- Trump has been accused of sexual assault by at least 15 women since the 1980s.

Check out this link of comments by a Trump accuser [Note: Really graphic talk]: https://player.vimeo.com/video/176181706?byline=0&portrait=0

And now complements of Trump - we have his racist comments to add fuel to this 'call for resignation' and the spectacle of his rally last night.

The Epstein case will only get more salacious and Trump will probably be dragged into more and more each day as more tapes osf him with Epstein become unearthed.

Calling for his resignation for his sexual assaulting, raping and grabbing can bring this guy down. I really believe that. It has to be a relentless and organized campaign and he has to be hit from all sides with the 'call'.

Did The 'Send Her Back' Chant Break Out From The Crowd Spontaneously Or....

was it pre-planned, deliberate and an intentional chant prompted by Trump's campaign people?

It's almost like Trump told his campaign people that they need to come up with a new chant for the rallies to replace 'Lock Her Up'.

I just can't believe that this crowd came up with that chant all by themselves. I would like to hear from the media people in the room as to how this chant broke out. Did they think it was prompted by Trump's campaign people?

Just Heard Tom Friedman On The 11th Hour Show On MSNBC.....

he suggested a number of ways the Dems could beat Trump. Telethon raising money to registered voters was one of them.

If anyone can post the video clip of his appearance - it would be valuable for us to have that here on DU.

Just as I posted this on DU - a post beat me to the punch and the video that I was requesting for someone to post here on DU - was posted.

Here is the link to that post with the video: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017547510

Everyone here should watch this video and then call your Senators and House Members in D.C. to put some of Friedman's ideas in action.

How Can Women Or People Of Color Vote For Trump In 2020?......

He's alienated both groups of people. I just can't imagine any women voting for Trump after all of the sexual assaulting accusations attributed to him. And after his racists tweets against the 'Squad' - how could people of color vote for him.

Any woman or person of color that even says they support Trump should face embarrassment from their peers.

I Can Only Conclude That The Repugs Have The 2020 Election Wrapped Up.....

They must feel like they are going to maintain and grow their power base. They must know that all the parts are in place to suppress, steal and cheat to win in 2020. Otherwise I just don't understand their actions to continually circle the wagons around Trump and be satisfied with being called 'racists'.

Continually supporting Trump and all of his criminal actions makes no sense otherwise. Why would they commit political suicide and go down with this criminal?

So given all of what we've encountered with Trump since he came down that escalator - the only conclusion I can draw is that the Repugs feel that 2020 is in the bag for them.

Please challenge me on this if you feel differently.
