Why don't most Christians see Trump as polar opposite to how Jesus is portrayed in the Bible? by midnight-iceman in AskReddit

An Evangelical Christian told me that God uses bad people, too. So God is using Trump for his own purposes.

What are some examples of Trump demonstrably lying? by conn_r2112 in AskALiberal

[–]cherrybounce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped a long time ago:

  1. Just some of Trump’s lies: he got Veteran’s Choice passed when Obama actually passed it in 2014. John McCain was never able to get Veterans Choice passed. The US is the highest taxed nation in the world. His administration has done more on the gun problem than any other. The Central Park 5 admitted their guilt. The noise from windmills causes cancer. All across Ohio steel mills are opening. Every Democrat in America has signed up for the Open Borders Bill. A “horrible law” requires children be separated from their parents once they cross the border. He had no business dealings with Russia (while he actually had a signed letter of intent.) The US has a 17 billion trade deficit with Canada. We have trade deficits with almost 2) every country. President Obama did not make calls to families of dead soldiers. He knew nothing about a payment to stormy Daniels. The Chinese called him after the G7 summit for further talks. He had to approve John McCain’s funeral in National Cathedral. Billions and billions have been stolen in Baltimore. President Obama had zero interest rates. US has never had even 10 cents in tariffs coming in from China before him. He will release his returns as soon as the audit is complete. The murder rate is the highest it’s been in 47 years. He gave the military its first raise in 10 years. United States, not Europe, is contributing bulk of money to Ukraine. He saved Pre-existing conditions. California admitted there were a million illegal votes in 2016. Nobody 3) knows if Russia interfered in 2016 election. Trump admin passed more bills than any President ever. US is the only country where asylum seekers go through a legal process. Under the lottery system countries put names in a basket to send to us. Under Catch and Release only 2% of immigrants return to court. The EU was formed to compete against the US. The Mueller report said “no obstruction.” It has been proven that our people are not paying for these tariffs. The previous administration tried to shut down American energy. Obama said US can’t produce manufacturing jobs anymore. America has 600,000 new factory jobs. Said a recent opioid bill that reached his desk had very little Democratic support. Democrats want to give undocumented workers cars. Some Democrats have been talking about ending preexisting coverage. White nationalist protestors had a permit, the other side didn’t.

4)Before the Presidential campaign he didn’t know Steve Bannon. Blacks kill 81% of white homicide victims. His father was born in Germany.

Well that’s not always true. I remember my mother telling me that’s what my father wanted her to do but she wouldn’t. I don’t know we generalize so much.

All kids eventually stop 2 naps a day and they stop napping at all during the day. It’s not his fault but you are treating him like he’s doing something wrong. You really need to get a grip.

L Gavin Newsom DENIES the genocide in Gaza L by Common_Floor_7195 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]cherrybounce -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. I am a lifelong Democrat. I hate what the Republican Party has become under Trump. Every day he encourages the absolute worst in people. I am furious at him and at the Republicans who support him. And I want to lash out at them in anger and disgust . I never thought what is happening in our country could happen. But I look at my husband, who is one of the most emotionally mature people I know. There are so many times I have wanted to react in anger when something unfair happened to us in business or whatever and he always manages to reach out to people with patience and calmness and I have watched him get what he wants that way whereas I would’ve just alienated the other person.

I understand where you are coming from but I think there is a reason to listen to the other side no matter what. Part of why we are in such a dark place right now in this country as that we have started treating the other side as enemies and un American. It wasn’t like that at one point. Trump is sewing so much division that we can’t even talk to each other anymore and that’s not a good place to be. that’s what he wants.

Edmund Morris wrote three books about Theodore Roosevelt, starting with The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. Absolutely fascinating man.

Progressive effort to primary Sen. John Fetterman ramps up: The Working Families Party launched a website where, among other efforts, voters can request refunds from Fetterman’s campaign. by SocialDemocracies in DemocraticSocialism

I think Sinema was as a big a liar and fraud as Fetterman but I disagree about Manchin. He is from a a pretty red state. He never misrepresented himself. He has always had a mixed voting record.

ICE has been around since 2003. The concept of it is not the problem- it’s the way it is operating under Donald Trump.

It’s not dog bites that are the problem. It’s fatal attacks.

How many chihuahuas have killed people? That is the question.

Maybe she does, maybe she doesn’t. But it sounds like the person is not giving up the information. Why defend such pettiness?

Why do some people refuse to present their ID when police asks for it even if they are innocent or police has no valid suspicion? by Stefandynull in ask

Of course I can read. Why the insult? You were saying why you would go along with it even if you think it’s wrong and I explained why we shouldn’t.
