Bondi also dismissed a lawsuit against Trump University when Trump donated $25,000 to her reelection campaign.

Laura sounded quite delusional when it comes to Trump.  I guess that's why I don't listen to her show.

I managed to enrage both she and Ann Coulter in one fell swoop.

I suggested that the only difference between them was about 50 mg of Haldol. :silly:

And you were 100% right!  I was merely amused by him and thought that he would flame out during the debates.  WRONG!   :thud:

With that said, I knew he was a charlatan going back to 2011, when I compiled a massive bookmark list of his liberalism, shady friends, and general NYC corruption.
I thought people would see through some of the ridiculous cognitive disconnects (like using the EPA to the fullest extent of the law--and bringing back industry--which the EPA helped kill or run off, if it could move away).
I was gobsmacked when they lapped it up!  :shrug: :thud:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

OK, I'm gonna say it...

Get a new hair stylist, Eileen.

I have great respect for our astronauts - apparently your stylist does not.

(Was that mean? I'm not trying to be mean. Call it constructive criticism.)

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Not at all, I only suggest that sometimes what we humans "know" today, may be viewed differently come some tomorrow.

But sometimes it won't.

Trump has given too many repellent displays of his lack of character and morals for me to pretend they didn't occur.

Mark Levin BLASTS ‘loser’ and ‘failure’ Chris Christie - See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/07/mark-levin-blasts-loser-and-failure-chris-christie#sthash.HMOndwZC.dpuf

Thank you, Mark!

I think Christie is doing the GOP-e/Trump bidding with the continued attacks on Cruz.  They obviously still fear and hate Ted because if his conservatism and integrity.

Nonetheless, a demonstration of graciousness is never more powerful than when it is offered to one who scarcely deserves it.

After the smear jobs Trump pulled on Cruz's wife and father, Ted has no obligation to be gracious to him.  Rather, the opposite is true.
True, that, but graciousness under such circumstances has a class and strength all its own. That may start the cracks that lead to real buyers remorse in the softer supporters of the nominated.

Bit of a Dorothy Hamill vibe?

America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

With all respect, I think the Lord has already revealed the truth about Trump.  And I rest assured that He doesn't expect me to throw support to a man who openly mocks Him.

From his book, "Think Like A Billionaire":




To add to your point @CatherineofAragon - determining God's will for our lives is not usually difficult because He has already given us the guide book.  If what we are doing goes against Scripture, then we are not to do it.

That's what I believe about voting for Donald Trump right now.  He is in defiance of God's laws.  He flaunts God's laws.  He is a mocker.

Voting for him is in direct opposition to the words in Scripture, and I cannot do it.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

 I agree.  Not punching the Donald in the face is being quite gracious enough.
