I don't know if he is even capable of guilt. He has said that he doesn't think there is anything which will get him into heaven. This reveals a profound ignorance the faith. God's grace is the thing - some denominations think the only thing - which can bring salvation. Trump doesn't believe this.
To be fair we only needed to remember 7 digits. Area codes were needed only for long distance calls, which were once a thing. The really ancient among us remember that the first two digits could be memorized as letters for the local exchange.
We will not be able to tax the wealth of the uber-wealthy until we amend the Constitution to remove its ban on direct taxes which are not apportioned among the states. The ban is a relic of the 3/5th Compromise, but SCOTUS will enforce until the GOP justices are replaced or the Court is expanded.
This is one thing most Christians would never say - certainly not Presbyterians. Salvation comes through God's grace. But Trump thinks there isn't anything which is going to get him into heaven. Maybe he's an agnostic, which would be fine if it didn't make him one of the world's biggest hypocrites.
This reveals a profound ignorance about the very center of Christianity. Salvation is by God's grace, which is the one thing which will get him into heaven. But he doesn't think there is anything to get him into heaven.
I sometimes think how things would be different had Tapper fact-checked Trump during his debate with Biden. Trump didn't respond to the questions from the moderators. He either equivocation or lied - and most of his lies were bizarre. CNN let him slide.
RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol
They are running scared. Messaging by "the Democrats" - in this case leadership in the Senate and the House - was spot on. They might just know more about politics than the chronically online commentariate.
In the United States the people hold plenary power. The three branches of our government hold power only as proxies for the people. A claim that the Executive holds plenary power combined with use of force to attempt to usurp power from the people's other proxies (including the states) is sedition.
As everyday folks are furloughed or forced to work w/o pay, as nonprofits like Philly's only rape crisis center are forced to lay off employees and pause services, as schools go w/o funding, it's reprehensible our state and federal politicians are still getting paid for not doing their damn jobs 1/2
If this is an insurrection where are the arrests? Where are the grand juries? Is the FBI unable to make arrests? We have the constitutional right not to be policed by the military except in very limited circumstances in which civilian agencies cannot enforce a very small set of federal crimes.
Our current situation might rhyme with the short history of European fascism. But the dual state is more like "second verse, same as the first" in the four century long history of homegrown American white supremacy. This isn't some foreign contagion. It's who we are.
Has anyone asked the career how many insurrectionists her DOJ has arrested. Surely for such a large and obvious insurrection there must be grounds for probable cause to arrest at least one person for committing a crime which is connected to the insurrection. Surely a grand jury has been convened.
Someone should ask the career persecutor how many insurrectionists her DOJ has arrested. Surely for such a large and obvious insurrection there must be grounds for probable cause to arrest at least one person. Surely a grand jury has been convened.
Paranoid, narcissistic leaders with dictatorial tendencies need enemies of the state to consolidate power in their person. You can't have a cult of personality without 'em. If there aren't real enemies, they make them up - be they Ukrainian counter revolutionaries, Jewish bankers, or Antifa.
I'm not an historian either, but I know there have been movements in our past which have been insurrections or rebellions which required a military response by the federal government. These were more than the sum of individual crimes against the United States. They were real things - movements.
