This is an unequivocal lie. Or maybe just pitifully delusional.
And as a result, he got what he’s always wanted — the U.S. isolated from the rest of the world.

And this is a lie mixed with a gross exaggeration.

so muslim atrocities make christianity a sham. that is just dripping with sense.
how many children get abused in public school? how
many women get abused by their doctor? let’s do away with public schools medicine!
every single large group had bad apples. certain people will blame the entire group, usually for political reasons.
and for the third time, if it’s a sham, what does that say about the guy you’re going to vote for president, that he has devoted himself to a sham? doesn’t that make him some kind of dupe?
can’t have it both ways.

Boy what did I strike a nerve and no Jim I don’t and never have voted based on what religion the candidate belongs to, because I really don’t care. I’d vote for anyone with a pulse running against the biggest sham and con every placed in the White House.

now you’re
moving the goalposts.
you said all religion is a sham. that necessarily means that you believe that joe biden got duped by a sham. but you trust h
to be president?
this isn’t about picking one religion or the other. you said all are shams.

for literally hundreds of
millions of people, christianity represents their most deeply held beliefs. two thirds of the citizens of mexico are catholics. but got stripers can dismiss it all
as a sham. he knows better. but he cares more about mexicans than trump. because shut up.

“More than 3½ years into his presidency, Trump increasingly finds himself minimized and ignored — as many of his more outlandish or false statements are briefly considered and then, just as quickly, dismissed.”

White nationalism isn’t compatible with Christianity no matter how much you try to make it so.

who is trying to join white nationalism and christianity?
do you understand that christians led the charge to abolish slavery and segregation?
for the 5th time now, please tell us the maximum
number of executive orders a potus can sign, before you’d conclude it was too many? why are you so scared of that question, pete?

The great American cardinal Avery Dulles when another Jesuit seminarian asked him if a Catholic could ever vote for a pro choice politician. Dulles quipped back, “I live in New York. When do I ever not?”

And if you think Progressives are concerned about you getting to any other heaven than the one they create, You are most likely heading to Hell. Jesus would not favor you for choosing to place your spiritual future into the hands secular government politicians.

Maybe he wants to conserve the Progressive direction in which we've been heading--Biden and the Dems would sure do that.
Sounds like a more illiterate version of you. Your kind of guy.

Looks like you have a lot in common with Trump. It is down to a vote for Russia or Democracy. What would Jesus do with people dying, homeless, and hungry?

He would probably tell them to pray and to put their trust in God but that’s just a wild guess

I think Pete thinks Jesus would vote for Biden. I get the impression he knows not much about Jesus's mission on earth. But Progressives act like they are some sort of political god on earth. Maybe they see Jesus as a prophet of their ascendance to the Presidential throne.

You keep switching from don't worry to he's dangerous. It don't matter no how . . . it ain't about him. And, anyway, he's a pretty nice, funny, guy when he's around normal people. But it ain't about him . . .
wait . . . for you it is. You actually do want a guy who takes responsibility for everything. Who runs the whole show. Who does have the . . . as you put it . . . "has the ultimate power." Trump's not your man because he's not competent to wield the power. He'll just muck it up and destroy the country . . . destroy the world.
Now Biden . . . he's the smart one. He can take the ultimate power and heal us . . . from the virus (he will mandate all of us to wear masks). . . from the world mockery (the world loves Biden and will be happy to follow him when he rightly makes America the global leader) . . . he can heal the economy . . . eliminate hate and racism . . . eliminate the national debt . . . heal the world . . . defeat China and Russia . . . stop everybody from interfering in our elections . . . he da man (if you don't vote for him you ain't black) . . . he can take us back to the wonderful way it was before Trump . . . why in the world did Americans vote for Trump when we were going along so swimmingly . . . Strange

I'll take the clown over the dictator every time. The clown is garishly transparent, and leaves you free to watch and listen, be a sucker or enjoy the outlandish mask that can only be seen, except by the most ignorant, childish, imbecile, as a mask not as the true face. Entertainment can require a WILLING suspension of disbelief. The clown offers you a moment of relief from worldly care, of laughter rather than fear. The clown gives you a momentary escape from the demands of society.
The dictator offers no option to his edict. He requires obeyance more than belief. He demands compliance, not relief from it. He allows no escape.
True, the Progressives are not clowns. They don't offer escape from reality so much as they create the reality you must permanently inhabit and always conform to.
