And again, Trump reveals that he’s just pandering and knows nothing about this religion stuff, because in this myth Joseph wasn’t the father of Jesus.
But that doesn’t matter to hucksters like Franklin Graham, because he’s giving them political power like they’ve never had before and that’s all Graham cares about. It’s a confederacy of con men.

It always come back to the same thing: most people don’t matter. It’s what unifies the GOP.
All their internal strife is just negotiating of the specific boundaries of who doesn’t matter.
I see today that Mitch “Windsock” McConnell has decided that his firm principles and moral grounding will be no bar to seating a child molester in the Senate (as long as he’s a Republican).
I also see the Eric Trump’s hired wife is also fully backing the child molester.

re: #7 HappyWarrior.
Lindsay never met a war he didn’t like.
He should know that with NK nukes the REMF is an outmoded concept.
This is an article about a police killing of a white guy here in my city, Mesa, Arizona, at the beginning of 2016. The cop who did the killing is currently on trial for 2nd degree murder.
The point of the article is not to minimize that people of color are being killed in droves, but that police themselves are simply out of control. Apparently the video of the killing, which has not been released, is horrible. I know Mark Geragos is awful, but this is his statement on the video:
I know why they have not released it. It’s not bloody. It’s the most chilling, horrific thing you’ve seen in your life. This kid was begging for his life. He raised his hands, did everything the cops told him to do. And then they just executed him. It’s bone chilling. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in my life is sitting in a court room with his widow, who watched it for the second time, and she literally went into convulsions. I had to grab her to hold her in a bear hug. It was just awful.
Ben has been with me for eight years and does nothing but the civil rights practice. I’ve been doing criminal and civil rights for 35 years. I’ve seen thousands of tapes. This is light years beyond anything I’ve ever seen… it burns a hole in your brain. I literally had nightmares about it.
It’s got to be horrible if Mark Geragos is shaken up. And I live in this city. Yeah, I don’t trust the police here.

Poor soul. He has no comprehension of what obstruction means.
But he does continue to give every clue that he did and is still doing it…badly.
This I can tell you.
This is Joy’s full statement, for the record:
This note is my apology to all who are disappointed by the content of blogs I wrote a decade ago, for which my choice of words and tone have legitimately been criticized.
As a writer, I pride myself on a facility with language — an economy of words or at least some wisdom in the selection. However, that clearly has not always been the case.
In 2007 I was a morning talk radio host and blogger, writing about Florida politics (a blog I maintained until 2011.) Among the frequent subjects of my posts was then-governor Charlie Crist, at the time a conservative Republican, whose positions on issues like gay marriage and adoption by same-sex couples in Florida shared headlines with widely rumored reports that he was hiding his sexual orientation. Those reports were the subject of lots of scrutiny: by LGBTQ bloggers, writers and journalists, conservative blogs, a controversial documentary film called “Outrage,” and even by the comedic writers at South Park. But it was my own attempt at challenging Crist on my blog that has now raised the issue of not just my choice of words, but what was and is in my heart.
Let me be clear: at no time have I intentionally sought to demean or harm the LGBT community, which includes people whom I deeply love. My goal, in my ham-handed way, was to call out potential hypocrisy.
Nonetheless, as someone who is not a member of the LGBT community, I regret the way I addressed the complex issue of the closet and speculation on a person’s sexual orientation with a mocking tone and sarcasm. It was insensitive, tone deaf and dumb. There is no excusing it - not based on the taste-skewing mores of talk radio or the then-blogosphere, and not based on my intentions.
In addition to friends and coworkers and viewers, I deeply apologize to Congressman Crist, who was the target of my thoughtlessness. My critique of anti-LGBT positions he once held but has since abandoned was legitimate in my view. My means of critiquing were not.
In the years since I went from blogger to opinion journalist, I have also learned, through brilliant friends and allies in the LGBT activist community, how to better frame my critiques of those who challenge people’s right to love who they want, marry them, and walk in the world as fully free people.
Re-reading those old blog posts, I am disappointed in myself. I apologize to those who also are disappointed in me. Life can be humbling. It often is. But I hope that you know where my heart is, and that I will always strive to use my words for good. I know better and I will do better.

I agree that Mueller’s not going to base his case on Logan Act violations, but he’s already showing a willingness to pierce the attorney client privilege with the crime fraud exception.
I would expect Mueller to use RICO and FARA, and also work with state prosecutors to dial in cases against Trump’s syndicate in a fashion that makes it tough, if not impossible for Trump to pardon people (even though anyone accepting pardons would still have to allocute to the crime under Burdick).
To be a Democrat in this country is to be blamed for everything it seems.

Jared Kushner says Trump hasn’t yet decided whether to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. https://t.co/oehD8pDHR8
— AP Politics (@AP_Politics) December 3, 2017
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has not yet decided whether to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital or whether to proceed immediately in moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city. That’s according to his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.
Kushner said Sunday that the president continues to weigh his options ahead of an announcement on the matter that is expected this week.
“The president is going to make his decision,” Kushner said in a rare public appearance at an event hosted by the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. “He is still looking at a lot of different facts.”
Kushner’s comments were his first public remarks on his efforts to restart peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. And, they came as he faces increasing scrutiny over actions taking during the transition period following former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s guilty plea on charges of lying to the FBI.
Shortly before Kushner spoke, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned that American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital would jeopardize the White House’s Mideast peace efforts.
“Any American step related to the recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel, or moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, represents a threat to the future of the peace process and is unacceptable for the Palestinians, Arabs and internationally,” Abbas told a group of Arab lawmakers from Israel, according to the official Wafa news agency.

It really tells you a lot that Graham thinks this is the best example of a Christian we’ve had in his life. Graham’s a monster and I don’t have much respect for his Dad either. I always thought even if I’m not personally religious at all that Jimmy Carter did a much better job living up to the teachings of Christ than someone like Trump or any of the Religious Right hypocrites who embrace him do. When’s the last time Franklin used the power of his influence and name ot help out people less well off than him? I won’t go No True Christian because that’s not my place but Graham clearly sees his religion as an excuse to be a judgmental douchebag than to help pepole.

My husband used to get material from Franklin in regard to his “Samaritan’s Purse” ministry which I guess is supposed to help unfortunate people in various parts of the world. I used to throw away the magazines whenever I saw them because Franklin is an odious human being who has insinuated himself in politics in an ugly way. I recall his attacks on President Obama who is a much better Christian than Trump could ever be (even though I suspect that Obama is more agnostic than anything).
I just wonder what Franklin and other Christianists (like Falwell Jr., and Jim Bakker) are going to say when Trump inevitably falls.

Roy Moore will win. He only stalked and molested teenage girls, not boys. That is not a crime to the evangelicals, and he has their full support. Unfortunately, they make up about half the population here in Alabama. I can guarantee you they were all told how to vote earlier today in church.
Also, Doug Jones went after the KKK group that bombed a church in Birmingham and killed 4 girls in Sunday school (they don’t count to significant portion of the population here though because they were black and girls). He even managed to get convictions. This will actually hurt him with the evangelicals. Never forget the Southern Baptist church started because of their support of slavery. They have not changed in all these years. I know because I have lived with them all my life.

far as I can tell from what I’m seeing on the internet and in the news, Jones is the only one out there in public. And he’s out there every single day. Moore is in hiding when he’s not at private events.

The US will soon face the consequences of a #TaxBill that takes money from the poor to give to the rich. Those who voted for it will face consequences later, when they are judged. Do you think Jesus’s words about being judged on how we care for the poor don’t apply? Think again.

For those who haven’t yet decided on tonight’s TV viewing…
At 10pm, TCM is running “Carmen Jones” (1954). It’s AWESOME, I highly recommend.
Based on the Bizet opera “Carmen”, they move the story from some 18th century French war/soldiers, to 1940’s Tuskegee. Starring Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belefonte, 20th century Hollywood arrangements of Bizet’s music, all new lyrics (in English).
Supporting cast includes Pearl Bailey, Diahann Carroll. There’s even a scene at a nightclub featuring Max Roach as the drummer, and Alvin Ailey as one of the dancers.

Hey as a devout Episcopalian, I think you may like this story my aunt told me about our uncle who was a priest. One of my grandfather’s nieces or nephews got married in an Episcopalian church. This must have been Pre-Vatican II so my Great Grandmother, a devout Catholic was sort of worried about what the church would think of her attending a wedding in one. My Great Uncle gave her the blessing. My Aunt was saying he was liberal in other matters too. I took that to mean his racial attitudes given his parish was in a predominately African-American community and his order- the Holy Ghost Fathers specialize in that sort of thing.

Reminder: scripture DOES NOT oppose abortion.
Exodus 21:22 — to assault a pregnant woman in such a way as to cause miscarriage… is not murder. It is not a capital crime. The penalty is financial compensation, because it is not the killing of a human being.
Numbers 5:11 — if a pregnant woman’s husband believes it’s not his, there’s a potion and ritual prescribed to determine the truth of the matter. If it’s indeed not his, terminating the pregnancy is REQUIRED.

When they say collusion is not a crime, they’re partially right - there’s no legal charge for collusion. The more appropriate term is conspiracy, which is what Manafort and Gates were charged with
That’s why they love saying there’s ‘no collusion.’ And that’s why at every turn we should be pointing out that the act of collusion with Russia results in a charge of conspiracy against the United States.

Another is if the Constiuttion was meant to be taken as was, they never would have allowed for amendments either. the Bill of Rights after all isn’t in the original Constitution. The best thing Madison did was include them in the first 10 amendments because naive people like Henry thought they could be implied. Our history is much different if they’re not included.

One of my wingnut friends actually thinks this is cleveR:
During a recent press conference, a reporter with MSNBC hollered from the press corps…
“Where is President Trump hiding his tax returns?”
Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, astutely responded…
“We’ve found a very secure place and I’m certain they won’t be found.”
“And just where is that?” said the reporter sarcastically.
Mrs. Sanders grinned sardonically and said…
“They are underneath Obama’s college records, his passport application, his immigration status as a student, his funding sources to pay for college, his college records, and his Selective Service registration.”
“Next question?”
i don’t know if SHS actually said that though. The stupid thing about this is Obama wasn’t casting doubt on other people’s credentials to be President. He never attacked McCain or Romney’s qualifications. Trump on the other hand did attack HRC’s financials.

They are quite similiar. The Bros can be just as sexist and just as racist as the Trumpers. Maybe they don’t use the n-word or the language I see used on women that Turmpers do but they sure as hell are as condescending to anyone who thinks about issues concerning anythin gother than white guys.

Yep. It’s pretty amazing. 2 years ago I actually liked Senator Sanders quite a bit. I wasn’t sure he was presidential material or not but I thought at least if he ran he’d get people thinking about some issues that needed discussing but I’ve changed my mind. I dislike the guy. I dislike the movement he’s created even if he did get more people my age involved. He’s toxic a lot like how Trump is and the sooner people realize that about him, the better off the left will be.
