      Yeah, his obsession/fixation on the evils or Trump aside, Jim sees pretty solid theologically.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Meh. This IS Trump we're talking about. I'm fairly certain he'd be attacking Mueller regardless, because that's how he rolls.

          I dunno, I've seen him dig up some shockingly poor exegesis, but maybe that was just a one off, so my criticism in this regard might be unfair. We all have our moments. As my theology professor used to say, some day, God is going to correct everybody's theology.

            And even that statement will be corrected.

              Ok. So he will rather go for personal attacks than deal with the facts?

                    • So how did this "conspiracy" morph from "Trump was working with Putin to steal the election" to "Trump was working with Russians to build a hotel during his campaign?" and how is it even relevant since he was working on that deal long before his run for president?

                      How does building a hotel equate to Russians hacking our election? Are they that desperate for hotels over there?

                        When your pet conspiracy theory is sinking fast, you grasp at anything that looks as if it might float.

                          Trump is just trying to help homeless immigrants to Russia by building them a hotel to stay in.

                            It was your response to this:

                            If the Trump associates that Mueller has continued to knock down were indeed innocent, the President might be spending his time presenting facts to prove the case rather than attacking Mueller and the investigation. And we all know that when you're attacking investigators, you're losing.
                            So the point made in the text was that Trump should focus on facts if they spoke in favour of his case. And your response was:
                            "Meh. This IS Trump we're talking about. I'm fairly certain he'd be attacking Mueller regardless, because that's how he rolls. " And then you don't want to admit he goes for personal attacks rather than facts...

                            • So Mueller seeks no prison time for Flynn. It is going to be interesting to get more details on what he provided.

                                I don't want you to put words in my mouth, Charles. Instead of doubling down on what you've already been told is an incorrect representation of what I posted, you could maybe ask me for clarification. As it happens, I mean that Trump is thin-skinned, and tends to attack those whom he perceives as attacking him.
