This is true, as he's part of an elite class of untouchables that are subjugated to a totally different judicial system than the rest of us plebs. He was a much a war criminal as Bush. See this is thing, there is no systemic racism, but there is definitely systemic classism.
There is both systemic racism and systemic classism. Maybe you don't think both exist because so many blacks are trapped in the lower class? Social mobility in this country is staggeringly low.

Nothing new about that whatsoever. Obama was just as corrupt, in fact more bloodthirsty (drone bombing children and assassinating US citizens), just more "presidential" (fake) about it. And don't start that phony spiel about racism because I'll go off on you. You support a political fake who called black communities "racial jungles" and worked with bonafide anti-black racists to pass national policy against blacks, and who has the audacity to falsely smear a 17 year old as a white supremacist just so he can appease a movement that YOU also support that is the cause of chaos and divide in this country over lies and false facts, just so you can feel better about your own internal racism that you project onto everyone here that disagrees with you.
Nowhere in scripture are we encourage to excused sin. But we are to have compassion on those that are lost in their sins, but not so as to excuse sin but rather to bring to them the saving knowledge of Christ.
Donald Trumps sin still condemns him apart from christ, and without repentance their is no salvation from those sins. Sin is bad because it destroys us seanD. And that is True of Trump as leader as it is of any of us. And when we excuse his sin, especially his gross sins of the absolute worship of himself over all else, we bring upon ourselves the same condemnation and judgement he brings on himself unless he repents of it and follows Christ.
God is not mocked. And this is no video game with multiple lives and do-overs. You, we all need to sober up and start praying that trump will change or be removed, or there will literally be Hell to pay.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

read carefully my second sentence:

We are not saved to continue living in sin MM, nor are we allowed to excuse sin and say 'It matters not, after all, Christ has covered all our sins". Without repentance there is no salvation. Without a call to repentance, there is no gospel. The Good News is that Christ has saved us from the consequences of our sins. Self-righteousness is the idea that I am somehow better than someone else. righteousness is the standard which Christ had to meet in order to save us, and the standard that he saves us for. When we sin, there is an advocate for us, but we can't because of His Grace just decide sin is unimportant or harmless.
Donald Trump serves only himself. And he is destroying our country servicing that idol. And it is not 'self-righteousness' that causes me to say that, it is simply the truth, a sad truth, but the truth. And for the Christians to be all in on that is actually an abomination. We can't be all in on that. Not because any of us is actually any 'better' that Donald Trump in the eternal sense. But because in Christ that is not who we are or what Christ saved us for.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 10-02-2020, 07:45 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

President Trump's "stand down" comment was explained on a segment of CBS news.
"they have to stand down, let law enforcement do their work."
The Proud Boys were founded in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes.
Comments by President Trump:
"Trump, Aug. 14, 2017: As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.
And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.
Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.
We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our Creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our Constitution. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America".
Trump, Aug. 14, 2017: Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.
Trump, Aug. 15, 2017: I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.

Regarding NK and Iran, no idea where you get your info but it is very, very wrong.
I asked about whether undermining faith in elections is an existential threat to democracy. The answer is clearly yes as history has shown. But honestly you sound too nihilistic for me.
I'm not surprised you forget the past.

Grace is not license to sin, and what is good and what is bad has not suddenly been reversed on the cross. The salvation of christ fees us from the curse of sin and death, it does not redefine what sin is.
