    Welcome to America. You have the right to freedom of religion and expression.
    I have the right to ignore you. Again, welcome to America.

    Well, I'm not bald, anyway.
    Perhaps I miss interpreted your words.
    Where is Christ going to set up this theocratic government. You were talking about Pelosi and Obama, who are U.S. citizens, so I assumed you meant in the U.S.
    So where is this theocratic government, set up by Christ, going to be and do you approve of a government run by a religion?

    I did forget your comment about socialism in our country.
    So, are you saying the U.S. hasn't adopted communist and socialist ideas? Or they have?
    I'm confused.

    The rich have properties everywhere. Even their own private islands all around the world. All "earned" on the backs of their workers …………… who by the way ……………. need to pay for their own health care - because the rich can't "afford" to pay for it. How can they pay for their worker's health care and buy another island and a second huge yacht?? They'd have to dismiss their cooks and maids at their Colorado ski mansion and the 10,000 acre ranch in Montana. Good GOD - they'd have to cook for themselves!!! And how will they be able to keep 2 helicopters???? And the private jet????

    Silly-ass cartoon in post 1618 -
    Whoever created that jewel knows nothing of Jesus. Jesus is NOT about building big corporations and making profits. He is all about love, taking care of your fellow man & woman - as you would want to be treated. Where in scripture does God say, "I want you to make money, any way you can. Grab as much as you can by any means necessary. Lie, cheat, steal, deceive, - just get as rich as you can. That's the most important thing to Me. Don't worry or be concerned about your neighbor, whether he has enough to eat or has a roof over his head. And your fellow man's health care …………….. please. Let him take care of himself. Have laws written so your workers have no voice, and keep their pay very low compared to the cost of living a decent life. That way you can "legally" take advantage of them and get rich quicker ……….. which is the whole point of this parable. Grab all you can - as fast as you can - by any means."

    Jesus is about HIS correct teaching - which has nothing to do with profiteering and building vast empires. So the silly cartoon that implies Jesus is sending Trump to "re-build" corporate America to huge profits and lead the U.S. to "morality" (?????!!!!!!!!!!!!) - really??? Trump = morality??? --------- "I just grab 'em by the pussy!" Trump??? Multiple divorces and wives Trump??? Refuse to pay the contractors that built your casinos Trump??? Screw his business partners Trump??? Fraudulent Trump University Trump???

    How ANYONE can support Trump and paint him as a "godly" man sent by God to "rescue us" is beyond me. SILLY beyond words.

    I just read an article explaining why we should NOT expect to see hand sanitizer and antiseptic wipes anytime soon. A professor at Syracuse U. named Penfield who teaches supply chain logistics, said the reason is that many of the necessary ingredients to make both come from ……………………….wait for it …………………………… CHINA.

    The U.S. needs to get the HELL OUT OF CHINA !!!!! The Joint Chiefs of Staff warned about being dependent on any foreign country for necessary things over 30 years ago. Bring those factories back here where WE control our own destiny ……………… NOT a COMMUNIST ENEMY STATE. What if all-out war broke out??? Are we supposed to wait on shipments of foreign-made electronics for our defense systems??

    We have a global pandemic and we can't get the materials to make hand sanitizer and antiseptic wipes!!!! Everybody see what "Corporate America" did to this country by fleeing to poverty wage, COMMUNIST China for dirt-cheap labor???? Millions of jobs lost here in the U.S. and now we wait and beg for supplies. U.S. DEPENDENCY ON A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP.

    Everyone feel comfy and "patriotic" ????

    What they mean is he's packing the courts with right wingers who may overturn some of the previous courts' decisions on abortion, gays, prayer, etc.

    The money it costs could have gone to lets say Broadway as well. Also a form of circus , but also a now struggling cultural venture.

    It seems no reporter has the balls to ask drumpf if he and his family have brought their businesses back to the USA. His head would explode if asked! Therefore--I wish someone would.

    Agreed ……………. among other goals as well. But some of the stated rulings go back far beyond Obama. No one can blame Obama for court rulings he had nothing to do with ……….. but these dolts can't see that. They either post sh*t intentionally - or they lack BRAINS and knowledge of U.S. history.

    The "Supreme Court" has become a bona fide joke for objectivity. When Trump nominated the picks of the Federalist Society for his rubber stamps on the "Supreme Court", after Moscow Mitch refused to even have a hearing for Obama's perfectly legal nominee - the Republican party displayed just how crooked and corrupt they really are. They break rules and then claim to be the party of rules and laws. Don't listen to what they say - watch what they DO. The Koch brothers donated, and proudly bragged - $800 MILLION dollars to elect Republicans to Congress, governorships, State Houses of Congress, and get the "Supreme Court" positions they wanted. Two multi-billionaires. $800 million ………….. not for their own selfish interests (to be able to make even more money), but to make sure ALL American workers get a fair shake. Believe that and I have some lower elevation, "slightly damp" acreage to sell you.

    Laws and freedom for me / us (big money, rich, corporate, Repubs)…………… but not for you / them. (anyone else) Can it BE any plainer??????? Watch to see if ANY individual wins a case before this "Supreme Court" vs. a business. And watch to see which "judges" always vote with the businesses - no matter the evidence.

    Hephatrump blames the Chinese for Covid - 19, his Intelligence Agencies debunk this, wait for huge wave of sackings across the Intelligence agencies in the coming weeks.



    Trump claims to have seen proof coronavirus originated from Wuhan laboratory


    PA
    May 1st 2020 3:03AM
    Donald Trump has claimed to have seen evidence that the coronavirus outbreak originated from an infectious disease laboratory in Wuhan.

    The US president speculated that China could have unleashed Covid-19 on the world due to some kind of horrible "mistake", and even put forward the idea the release was intentional.

    It comes as his intelligence agencies said they are still examining a notion put forward by the president and aides that the pandemic may have resulted from an accident at a Chinese lab.



    US intelligence agencies have debunked a conspiracy theory, saying they have concluded that coronavirus was "not man-made or genetically modified"

    Speaking at the White House, Mr Trump said: "It's a terrible thing that happened.

    "Whether they made a mistake or whether it started off as a mistake and then they made another one, or did somebody do something on purpose."

    The Chinese government said that any claims that the coronavirus was released from a laboratory are "unfounded and purely fabricated out of nothing".

    [​IMG]
    Mr Trump has repeatedly blamed China for its handling of the outbreak, criticising the country for restricting domestic travel to slow the virus but not international travel to keep it from spreading abroad.

    "Certainly it could have been stopped," Mr Trump said during an event in the East Room on his administration's efforts to aid seniors during the outbreak.

    "They either couldn't do it from a competence standpoint, or they let it spread."

    "It got loose, let's say, and they could have capped it."

    Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said: "I would like to point out again that the origin of the virus is a complex scientific issue, and it should be studied by scientists and professionals.

    He also criticised those in the US who say China should be held accountable for the global pandemic, saying they should spend their time on "better controlling the epidemic situation at home".

    Many countries are relaxing strict lockdown conditions, as bleak new figures underlined the pain inflicted by the disease and added to pressure on leaders to restart their economies.

    The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits surpassed a staggering 30 million and the European economy shrank a record 3.8% in the first quarter as hotels, restaurants, construction sites and manufacturing were frozen by lockdowns.

    Lay-offs amount to one in six American workers and encompass more people than the entire population of Texas.

    Some economists say the US unemployment rate for April may be as high as 20% – a figure not seen since the Depression of the 1930s, when joblessness peaked at 25%.

    China's ancient Forbidden City in Beijing has reopened, with all tickets for the May 1-5 holiday period sold out, and a limit of 5,000 visitors a day, down from the earlier maximum of 80,000.

    Beijing has also reopened its parks and museums, with controlled entries, about three months after hundreds of millions of people were ordered into a near lockdown as the coronavirus outbreak erupted in the central city of Wuhan.

    China has reported 12 new cases, six of them brought from overseas, and no new deaths for the 16th day.

    In the US, where large numbers of people are still dying from Covid-19, health officials are warning of the danger of a second wave of infection, and some employers and employees have expressed fear of going back to work.

    The virus has killed more than 230,000 people worldwide, including more than 61,000 in the US, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.

    Confirmed infections globally topped 3.2 million, with one million of them in the US, but the true numbers are believed to be much higher because of limited testing, differences in counting the dead and concealment by some governments.

    Jesus Christ will set up His kingdom rule in Jerusalem, which will become the capitol. And yes, I do approve of His reign. Not that you or I will have any say. It will be the first time in history that things will be done God's way throughout the earth.


    Re-read my statement. Repeat until you understand it. A third-grader should have no problem with it, so it should be a breeze for you.

    All this stuff you talk about the rich having....can you cite any law or moral code against them having these things?

    This diatribe sounds like a comminst dictator's rant to stir up the simple-minded to kill the rich and forcibly seize their wealth and property so they can re-distribute it, which is also something God is against. I haven't seen much from you that doesn't follow the same angry, envy-driven pattern.

    Did God condemn Job, who was one of the wealthiest men in the land, for being wealthy? Did He tell some commy nitwit to stir up an angry mob to take his wealth and re-distribute it? And after Job lost everything he had, did God not give him back far more than he had before? Did he condemn him for his good fortune then? Did God tell him that his gain was ill-gotten because there were poor in the land, while he (Job) was not?

    It seems to me that everything you and other socialists believe is based on a cult of envy, greed, and avarice. I've also noticed that those politicians who rant the loudest against the wealthy often profit the most from the product of their own corruption.
