Politics-What's on your mind?

IMHO Senators/Politicians never acted as rude and disrespectful before Trump came along...

It seems many have taken a page right out of his playbook!

So now Trump has attended the March for Life, something no other U.S. president has ever done. He spent a lot of time talking about God - Whom I think he has no interest in - and "unborn children" - whom I think he doesn't give a rat's a** about. He was clearly just pandering for votes.

GOP Senators Incensed By Schiff's 'Head On A Pike' Remark!

ABC News has reviewed a recording of what they say “appears” to be President Trump speaking about wanting former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired. On the tape, the voice that appears to be Trump can be heard saying of Yovanovitch, “Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it.”

The report goes on to cite sources who say the recording was made by Igor Fruman during an intimate dinner in 2018 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Both Fruman and Lev Parnas were indicted for campaign-finance violations in October 2019 and are former associates of Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

I'd give Trump Ukraine if he and his administration just get the Hell out of the Arctic.

"In May 2019, ( Mike) Pompeo acted against environmental protection at the Arctic Council. He refused to sign on to a joint statement addressing the need for protection of the Arctic region from the threat of rapidly melting ice unless all mentions of climate change were removed from the document. He stated "climate change is actually good for the Arctic, since melting ice caps are 'opening up new shipping routes' and thus making it more economically viable to expand oil drilling in the region."

Wikipedia. (Not the Bible but probably a reasonably accurate source on this one.)

McKibben, Bill (May 8, 2019). "The U.N. Report on Extinction vs. Mike Pompeo at the Arctic Council". Retrieved May 8, 2019.

I guess someone did do their homework for their Wikipedia entry.

IF these dainty politicians can't handle a simple comment like that, how on earth will they EVER be able to handle a tough opponent in their re-election campaign..

The movie "CATS" has had some terrible reviews, imdb lists its rating presently as 2.8 out of 10 !! (lol)

On another site, I saw a warning about this film:

to the effect that watching it "might cause brain damage".

Since I had already diligently watched all of witnesses testifying as the Dems were preparing their Impeachment brief, I skipped Schiff's presentation, and only caught some of his presentation on the news, and yes it was very well done, absolutely excellent.

However, having seen a few of the incoherent Republican arguments on the news, I thought that it might be useful to also warn people that watching the Republican arguments might also cause brain damage; and then it occurred to me that anyone who agreed with what they were putting forward had already suffered from brain damage, and that they all should be immediately picked up and placed under medical surveillance. Trump and his Republicans really know their voting base.

President Trump expressed frustration on Twitter over the fact that his "lawyers will be forced to start on Saturday, which is called Death Valley in T.V.

If I can just recycle an old Seinfeld joke...(his of course pertained to blood on your clothes and laundry)

IF you've got lawyers defending you in an impeachment hearing, perhaps low TV ratings aren't your biggest problem!

I think Mike Bloomberg should put up one ( or two ) of his billions as a prize to be paid to the first person identifying any of the women paid or forced by Trump to have an abortion...maybe even including all his family members whose names end with an "a". This prize might be extended to protect anyone willing to break a non-disclosure agreement.

Come on Mike. You can do this.

The artist who wrote and performed this song has called out the radical religious (Evangelical) right about their complete and unabashed support of the profane creature, Trump, who embodies evil, hatred, dishonesty, greed and corruption.

Hymn For The 81%-- Daniel Deitrich

The following paragraphs are in the descriptive information of the video, which is posted on Youtube, as follows:

"In 2016, 81% of white evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump after (among other things) hearing an audio recording of him bragging about sexually assaulting women.

Maya Angelou famously said, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

In the years since, even after enacting deliberately cruel policies to rip families apart and put children in cages at the southern border, evangelical support is as fervent as ever.

I was raised in the Evangelical world. It shaped me. I learned to take the words of Jesus seriously - love God, love your neighbor, feed the hungry, fight for justice for the oppressed. I thought that things like love, kindness, gentleness, and self-control MATTERED. I have been so confused and deeply saddened by the unflinching loyalty to a man who so clearly embodies the opposite of these values.

This song is a lament. It's a loving rebuke. It's a plea for the 81%, to come home to the way of Jesus." -- Daniel Deitrich, composer and artist

I certainly hope this song/video continues to go viral. As a Christian believer/follower, by both my raising and personal faith, I absolutely feel the very same way as this artist, in this song, as he calls out the very Evangelicals and church/religious entities who are supporting the very evil that Jesus instructed us to eschew and ardently stand against. Our beliefs and faith in the teachings and word of Christ, as our Savior, is what gives us the right and privilege of claiming the name "Christians".
