C98: It won’t work with Trump.

l90: Sure it will. The GOPe will use any excuse...

Whatever the GOPe is, it’s not unassailable. And we’re not spectators.

thanks for that- I’ll check out the commentaries on biblehub.com and see what they felt about it too- should be interesting-

And not just the women oppressing the men but the children also- We’re seeing kids taking over colleges, kids becoming unruly and disobedient and angry and vicious- and we’re seeing kids disobedient of police etc- Gangs of kids ruling neighborhoods etc-

That’s rare. Usually when the party isn’t mentioned, it’s a Democrat.

No, it won’t.

Roy Moore hung himself over the sex scandal. He posed as a Christian Values 10 Commandments guy who was above everyone with his morality. He hung himself because they said he is the biggest hypocrite there is if this is true. Even if the allegations were partly true they didn’t want this hypocrite. That’s what it was about. Christian values.

But since you and many Freepers think a sex scandal sure will work on Trump, I will be waiting for you all to tell me when Trump is impeached or loses in 2020 over it or for you to admit you were wrong. I’m beginning to think some of you wish it will happen and am tired of hearing from Freepers that Trump is next to go.

"This whole pizzagate is going to take out a lot of people"

Pizzagate as practiced proudly by the deep state Podestas and company consists of sexual relations with LITTLE CHILDREN---not 17 year olds.

I have to ask. What party?

From the Wikipedia:

Dan Johnson (October 18, 1960 – December 13, 2017) was an American evangelical pastor and Republican member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, representing the 49th District in 2017.[1] In December 2017, Johnson was accused of having molested a member of his church in 2012 when she was 17 years old. Johnson refused to resign, claiming the allegations were untrue.

You need to revisit my post and what l90 references.

Good people especially when drinking can slip up sexually. A false accusation does NOT lead to suicide. Guilt and shame does. Good husbands and fathers can slip up. And it can be hard to live with yourself when you don’t realize what work it is to not fall for temptation. Poor guy. But he should not have hurt his family in this way.

It’s also called the Billy Graham rule. It’s something like this: Pence won’t go out to dinner with women other than his wife and he won’t go to parties where alcohol is served without his wife.

He never said he was above anyone else with his morality, nor implied it.
If anything the effort to keep the ten commandments front and center is an indictment of any who think they are, or can be, morally upright beings.
It is especially important that judges and jurors know they, too, are imperfect, condemned men and women under the ultimate law, before they go in and do their duties.
Only people who know they are condemned themselves can understand grace and the need for mercy.
The law doesn’t save, it condemns. That’s why humanity needs an intercessor. Each and every one of us.
But do you think any of the finger pointers today dredging up 30 or 40 year old sins have given one thought to their own, or are they the real hypocrites here?

But a lot of people chucking stones at him certainly have created the impression they believe they are without sin... in deed, if not word. They sure aren’t going to shine a light on their past 40 years, or their countless violations of the oath they took.

This is Alinsky’s tactic... only in order to nail someone with their own standards you have to build a sinless straw man to thrash. So they tell everyone the target thinks he’s perfect.

To your point, here’s Johnson’s dying words:

“The accusations from NPR are false GOD and only GOD knows the truth, nothing is the way they make it out to be. AMERICA will not survive this type of judge and jury fake news . Conservatives take a stand. I LOVE GOD and I LOVE MY WIFE, who is the best WIFE in the world,My Love Forever ! My Mom and Dad my FAMILY and all five of my kids and Nine grandchildren two in tummies and many more to come each of you or a total gift from GOD stay strong, REBECCA needs YOU . 9-11-2001 NYC/WTC, PTSD 24/7 16 years is a sickness that will take my life, I cannot handle it any longer. IT Has Won This Life . BUT HEAVEN IS MY HOME. “PLEASE LISTEN CLOSELY, Only Three things I ask of you to do,if you love me is (1)blame no person,Satan is the accuser, so blame the Devil himself. (2) Forgive and Love everyone especially yourself .(3)most importantly LOVE GOD. P.S. I LOVE MY FRIENDS YOU ARE FAMILY ! GOD LOVES ALL PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT !”

PTSD.

Happened to my friend’s father when I was a boy. He worked the Yuba City Bus crash near Martinez, CA. He came home after working 48 hours on scene, and then shot himself.

It’s sad, but yes, Pence looks like a genius.

I figured it was only a matter of time before a man killed himself. Terrible. RIP

How about some due process before guys are lynched in the press?
