Joe Biden, Me Too..

[tabibito]

That doesn't excuse the fact that you elected a known thief and a lying con man to be the president of the U.S. He is a liar and thief, a big time thief, not just a bit shady, and he is using his office to continue the practice at the expense of the reputation of the most prominent democracy in the world. Thank the god I don't believe in that he, and the unethical republican toadies that look the other way will be gone soon before he causes any more damage to the country and the world.

Well, well: if those charges are true ... what does it say about the electorate's assessment of the alternative offerings?

And yet the Evangelicals put into power a known moral reprobate. Obviously gross immorality is not a problem for Evangelicals.

Evangelicals don't comprise a majority of the electorate. Even if they did - you'd be complaining about the very democratic processes themselves.

[Mountain Man]

You seem to assume that ALL accusations against Trump are false.

Rather, I have seen no good reason to believe any of them are true.

Evangelicals put into power a known moral reprobate.

As opposed to a different known moral reprobate.

I'm not ascribing such behavior to Christians in general, just to Evangelicals. They are the ones that put Trump into power. Many Christians I know were and are appalled.

I understand that. But so were many evangelicals appalled. As a technical aside, 'Evangelical' is a term that in its correct usage applies to all Christians. St. John is known by the Catholics as "St. John the evangelist". But as you use it, it refers to protestants that put great focus on evangelism. And yet, even among that population, if you look at the world as a whole, most of them were also appalled. So to even get a sizable percentage of 'evangelicals' that did in fact support the election of Donald Trump, you must limit yourself to US evangelicals. And then - again - there is a non-trivial subset of US evangelicals that are also appalled by the election of Donald Trump, and the reality is that for many of the Evangelicals that voted for Donald Trump (I think CP is in fact one of these), that vote was not a vote for Donald Trump, but rather a vote against Hillary. In that many of these evangelicals you are lumping into a single blob were simply stuck between a rock and a hard place. They were appalled by Trump, but then again, they felt they had no choice because they were more appalled by Hillary and many of elements of the left's political agenda.

In this website you do have many evangelicals that will defend Trump to the death it seems. MM is one of them. But it's not because they are 'evangelical'. I would say it is in spite of that fact. And yet I must admit there is a non-trivial subset of evangelicalism in the US that are with him in this. So I understand the temptation you face to paint all evangelicals with this broad brush. But it simply is incorrect to do so, and does a great dis-service to the faith itself and the millions of people that practice that faith but have not succumbed to the moral dissonance that is found in unwavering support for Donald Trump and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

That describes most of my fellow "Evangelicals". It is simply Tassman's hatred for Trump coupled with his intense anti-Christian bigotry that will not allow him to even consider that scenario.

So I understand the temptation you face to paint all evangelicals with this broad brush.

Using the broad brush is expected of Tassy - pay it no attention.

What it says is that his supporters are not to bright.

[Sparko]

Your sarcastic and bitter approach to these issues does not change the fact that there are people in this world that genuinely love and care for others. Those that know Biden well report that is what they see here. And unless something more in line with the frankin routine you unjustly compare him to comes to light, I'm willing to believe them.

Genuinely good people exist MM. And they often become the butt of jokes by people like the persona you present on this website.

Im willing to wait to see if anything is reported that is more than just a little too much nice.

Jim

The hypocrisy of the left castigating Pence for his stance of never being alone with a woman who is not his wife while trying every way to excuse Biden for feeling up every women and child he can lay he hands on is not lost on us.

The left made this bed, now they need to lie in it.

no pun intended.

It's "too", you not TOO bright person.

Jimmy, when you're impugning the intelligence of others, please use proper grammar.

He tries SO hard.

It didn't much matter when he was a politician of little consequences (senator and then vice president), but it's going to be a lot harder to ignore and cover up if he's running for president.

Which was why he "entered the race" via pre-recorded video. But... so SOON?
