Someone who doesn’t know that the NIH is the National Institutes of Health a branch of the US Department of Health and Human Services, perhaps shouldn’t be so vocal about other things she might not know about either.
Of course I know that. You misunderstand my point. The article said she worked there. That’s almost meaningless. I could work at the White House. That doesn’t mean I’m president or I set policy. It might mean I wash the dishes.
 
The alternative to Trump was Hillary Clinton who supports abortion without limits, who materially cooperated in “selling 20% of U.S. uranium to Russia”, who takes credit for the debacle in Libya, who signed she understood the need for communications security and then routed tens of thousands of emails through an unsecure private personal router, and who counts a lot of dead people as her associates … they just end up with multiple gunshot wounds in awkward places … , who denies the need for borders for the United States, among other things.

On second thought, perhaps Hillary Clinton’s doppelgänger might be a better president than either Hillary herself or the Donald.

Do not support bad people to get a good outcome.

Sometimes there is no other choice but between bad and worse.
Then don’t make the choice.

It doesn’t matter what the choices are. If you voted for a bad person, you voted for a bad person. You are complicit.

If you voted for a bad person in the primaries instead of the “good” people, you are even more at fault.

Not only did all of the Alabama Democrats show up, but apparently a lot of NON-Alabama Democrats showed up as well.
 
Many people seem willing to forgive members of their own political or religious persuasion but not members of the other.

Your statement suggests you might not be willing to forgive someone for not forgiving Trump. You don’t seem to be practicing what you are preaching.
Well, no actually, I don’t see why I should be called to forgive someone for NOT forgiving sins they only IMAGINE Trump has committed. That would be playing loose with the truth on their part – verging on false witness. Here, let me forgive you for the murder you committed yesterday. Oh, I was only dreaming that? Well, let me forgive you anyway. It begins to become ludicrous at some point. And tedious.

Besides, I am not preaching that we are called to forgive others for sins they do not commit against us personally. That would be God’s prerogative, not ours. It was one of the charges leveled against Jesus, remember? “Who is this who claims to forgive sins? Only God can forgive sins.”

Oh, and validly ordained priests. That is the problem with “the priesthood of the laity,” it is hard to tell which ones are validly ordained and follow Apostolic succession and which do not. 😖

But that is you, some people say that they are regretful for what they did but their actions do not show being regretful
 
Seems to be the same drum being beat by republicans which was beat by Trump saying there was voter fraud.

Which I’m sure they have looked into and nothing has came out. I guess they are just hurt that they lost

Yes, even pro trump supporters when it shows something they are proud of, they will tell you, look look, you see the polls
 
Except this isn’t about whether a fetus is a human being – that is indisputable – your citation is about whether a human fetus cum human being has a right to life.
You–and those you quote–are doing exactly what I said the problem was in my original post on this. You are mixing up “life” in general and “being human” (whatever that means–religious sense, with a soul; or philosophically, etc.). And of course those who are against abortion make the equation “life” = “human being” about a fetus–or even a single-celled sperm that has united with a single-cell egg. We won’t even get into the questions that brings up–the DNA for the new life doesn’t pop up until the cell has divided a few times (which is why I said “4-celled” in my original post); the united cell, or group of cells now, doesn’t implant itself on the surface of the womb for a few days…). So when does life, let alone human life begin? The fact that you pick one of these events (sperm enters egg; new DNA forms; new group of cells attaches itself to surface of womb) and say “Human life begins here…” is more a matter of belief than science, as I keep saying. You have yet to prove otherwise.
 
Republicans have control of state legislators, governors, the house, senate and WH. They couldn’t get it together on legislation but taxes which has been proven to support the rich and they find a way to pass that legislation. Seems type of odd isn’t it?
 
I guess it is true that you cannot get water from a stone, nor the capacity to reason or see the truth, apparently. No point carrying on this conversation.
 
Misleading. The treaty would have the force of US law if ratified by the Senate. The State Department signing an agreement shows an intention and is the first step. Then comes the push for ratification.
It actually was not a treaty but an agreement, which is why it didn’t go back to the Senate for withdrawal purposes when this administration decided to pull out of it. Also, no international agreement has binding power on us or on the Constitution. Also, with the agreement, there is no binding power as far as fines or penalties are concerned as the agreement has no enforcement measures.
 
he has an awareness he has committed any, or has any repentance for anything he has ever done.
When asked if he’s ever asked God for forgiveness, Trump replied:

“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

There you have it from his own mouth. He does not seek Gods forgiveness. He sees no use in repenting to God.

Trump is about as worldly and un Christ like a man as one can possibly be. There’s not a pious bone in his body.

The only reason he even talks about God is not because of some deep conviction, but because of his voter base and trying to appease them.

Now VPOTUS Mike Pence on the other hand, he has displayed genuine belief. Pence has also shown that he is consistently much more Presidential in his temperament than Trump. Although his apostatizing from the Catholic Faith for American Protestant Evangelicalism is troubling.

There is no there there.
First of all you can’t know that since the investigations are still underway and, secondly, it has already been established that some members of Trump’s administration and campaign staff did have Russian connections both before the election and shortly thereafter.

At this point, it is not known whether Trump himself was involved but there’s very good reason to suspect as such, which is why they’re searching any financial connections he has had with the Russians.
 
Abortion
Same-sex marriage
Euthanasia
Stem cell research
Human cloning
He didn’t touch on most of those things at all. And he barely discussed abortion. His Trump University blog actually had a blog post from him congratulating Elton John for his marriage.

What he did focus on was immigration, making a wall, how we don’t win anymore and fear mongering about gun rights. Oh, and how we don’t get to torture.

All child brides should end. Not just Muslim.

The age for marriage should be 18.

You sound like one of the many confused individuals, brainwashed by the propaganda media, who can’t see anything good in anything Trump does.

Have you ever been offered a job by a poor man? Yeah, no. So your tax breaks that are “proven to support the rich” also help the working people. The American people are much more efficient than the government is. That’s why I think the government should get less money, not more. I’m not one of those people who begrudges a tax break to the people who already pay about 85% percent of all taxes. That’s called envy.

Or it could could just be a manifestation of what’s become popularly known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is a specific type of: Confirmation Bias
