Ridiculous, isn't it? Saying "Goddamn" is just as bad as murder. People will believe anything.
Ah good ole Newt. Bashing Clinton for an intern while he’s having an affair with his secretary.
And then there is this gem blaming his previous comments on Coronavirus on it being covered by the evil media:
Newt Gingrich
✔@newtgingrichA reporter asked me today why conservatives were initially so skeptical of the threat of the coronavirus. I tried to explain that one of the dangerous consequences of having a totally dishonest left wing news media was that most Americans discounted their hysteria as phony.
Not most Americans just those that depend on FN for their only source of information.
There is something called google...use it. Interestingly enough you can find hundreds of articles basically stating so many different scenarios. Belief what you want at this point.
I believe you should state that as pro life, not the term anti abortion. You are saving a life rather than killing one.
Of course you are without sin right. You can cast stones because you are the embodiment of perfection. Judge on brotha, do your thang.
There is a difference. Someone having their life ended by the state has committed an incredibly egregious offense. A fetus has not. I'm against the death penalty anyway unless there is video of a capital crime or an admission from a mentally competent suspect. Too many chances for wrongful conviction otherwise.
Yeah, normally people will bolster their claim with some semblance of proof, but not you, you renegade.
Proof? Show me proof...problem is Trump has been caught in so many lies you really don't know if he is ever telling the truth. Can't wait for the Presidential debates...ought to be a fun event
So happy I voted for Gary Johnson, but, yeah, I also can't wait for the debates. A bawdy, conceited orange that has done a decent job versus a doddering, senile despot that belongs in a nursing home instead of the White House.
Interesting debating abortion...the Government will spend millions trying to do away with abortion but yet won't spend a dime on programs to support all these unwanted children. Personally I don't like seeing any abortions but would be hard pressed to be against it if I had a 15 yr old daughter who got Raped. At the end of the day they will have to answer to their God.
Was anybody calling for a travel ban from China any earlier? All I can recall hearing from Democrats was that a travel ban was racist hysteria.
I don't care where you are on the political spectrum, Trump is busting his a*s for the American people right now.
Even a notoriously anti-Trump CNN anchor had to give props:

Trump has been praised by the extremely anti-Trump mayor of NYC:

...and the anti-Trump governor of CA:

It's truly the small-minded folks who are digging in their heels on making this a partisan issue.

In this case, I will. I have very little patience for hypocrites (both the Orange Man and his followers).Of course you are without sin right. You can cast stones because you are the embodiment of perfection. Judge on brotha, do your thang.
You know what...you're right. As a so-called Trump hater I am encouraged for the things he has done over the last few days. This is bigger then the political race, there are people and businesses at stake now.
great point. Or gluttony
While many churchgoers have heard their pastors warn against the dangers of indulging in sin we almost never hear about the sin of indulgence. This wasn’t always the case, for gluttony was once listed among the Seven Deadly Sins. The book of Proverbs even tells us to, “Put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony (23:2).” Yet how many Christians today would even consider gluttony to be a sin at all?
it can apply to toys, television, entertainment, sex, or relationships. It is about an excess of anything.
Well, the claim is true but it’s not just because of because of SCOTUS justices. It’s because many state legislatures dominated by those old white men keep proposing restrictions on abortion. Men have always tried to control women. That’s not new. If you can’t control them with making the better argument on the merits, enact a law.
of course any student of history knows the Republican Party of today is a far cry from the Republican Party of the 1960s and 1970s (same with Democrats). Moderate, pro choice republicans were a force in the Republican Party in those days. Obviously that is not the case anymore as most moderate republicans are gone. Just as pro life democrats had a strong voice in those days. That’s over.
in many ways, the Roe v Wade debate is a red herring. Doing away with Roe won’t end abortion. It just returns it to the states where some states will outlaw it, others will enact less restrictive laws to make it easier.
no law will end abortion. People will always seek abortion services as they have for all time. Women with means to travel will have many options. Poor people, and younger teens won’t.
Good one...Man I just won't this crap over with. I'm tired fighting this. As a small business owner this may do me in if it lasts into the Summer. So with that said i can only Hope Trump deals with this as swiftly as possible...because there is a whole lot of people counting on him. If not then he will be dealt with come November.
Why don't we take a look at the President's own words for a clue as to how on top of this he actually is...

Yep, I never hear a pastor talk about this.
it hits too close to home for most churchgoers. We had rather hear about all those other bad people and what they are doing.
You forgot March 17: ““This is a pandemic, I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
The claim is certainly not true, and history is evidence of this. I was quite clear in what I meant when I wrote about the "...claim that (R)'s are going to appoint SCOTUS justices to overturn Roe vs. Wade." Then I provided historical evidence of the absurdity of the claim. And this is not just based on old SCOTUS justices from the 60's and 70's. There have been four (R) appointed justices in less than 15 years, and five since 1991, yet the SCOTUS hasn't dared to endanger abortion.
While I agree with your original sentiment it’s not just the Democrats who make that claim about using the Supreme Court to make changes. That’s a selling point of the Republican Party as well even though they have shown they have zero intention of doing it.
Yep. Gullible (R) evangelicals that believe such nonsense, yet keep getting the rug pulled from under them. They'll never learn.
I pine for a large, sensible, pragmatic third party in the United States. A place for Sam Nunn (D)'s or John Kasich (R)'s.

I'm a Moderate Republican if there is such a thing anymore...and although I don't like Trump (and haven't like him for the past 20 years) I don't wish him to fail. Because if he fails then ultimately we all fail. If they would just delete his tweeter account his life would be so much easier. He just continues to put his foot in his mouth.

It's a real conundrum with Trump and that Twitter. I think he would be more positively received without being so brash and tweeting so much, but I'm not sure he would've been elected had he not been that way.
Hell...get rid of the Party system all together and have people run on their actual beliefs. People would freak out if they couldn't pull the ole straight ticket lever.
Absolutely. Gotta defend yourself these days. The left and their media minions will destroy you if you try to take the high road like GWB, McCain in 2008, and Romney.
well, that is because of ONE justice- Kennedy. Without him, it would have certainly been changed.
Your problem now is you are expecting people to overlook what Trump said about just that:
in an interview with Fox News's Chris Wallace:
WALLACE: You just said you want to see the court protect the Second Amendment. Do you want to see the court overturn Roe v. Wade?
TRUMP: Well, if we put another two or perhaps three justices on, that's really what’s going to be — that will happen and that will happen automatically in my opinion because I am putting pro-life justices on the court.
If you are suggesting Republicans are all smoke and mirrors when it comes to talking about abortion, I agree with you. Heck, just a few years ago one of the biggest anti abortion Reps in Congress got caught urging his mistress to have an abortion.
Anti-abortion congressman urged his mistress to have one, report says
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...bortion-tim-murphy-mistress-affair/730306001/
I noticed you left out that he declare a nation health emergency back in JANUARY.
I notice you left out that he quarantined people, first time here in the US in 50 years, in JANUARY.
I noticed that you left out the he created a Coronavirus task force with some of the best medical advisors in the world in JANUARY.
All this before a test for the virus was even created. Random quotes taken out of context with no regard to his actual actions are misleading and dishonest if you are try to figure out how "on top" of it he was. His actions CLEARLY show that he was on top of it.
I agree with this. I don't even consider myself a moderate, but maybe I am in today's terms. I agree with what you said here. As a student of political history, and someone who has been involved with politics for years, what we are seeing in the GOP isn't a matter of the party getting more conservative; it's becoming more nationalist/ populist. We have seen a similar transition throughout Europe recently as well.
Many of the policies the President supports are not conservative at all (i.e. the massive amounts of spending---more than any administration in history---, the expansion of the executive branch, the promotion of anti-free trade protectionism, giving Americans relief monies, bailing out whole industries, etc...). Just like in Europe, the major differences between the two big parties comes down to relatively minor "wedge issues"(social issues for the most part here in the US) now. This is one of the primary reasons you see twitter used so extensively, because you can consistently push narratives and these "wedge issues".
When it comes down to "brass tacks", there isn't much of a difference between the two parties. The Democrats are just as much socialists as Republicans are fascists (meaning its just politics to label either of these parties as such). These are false narratives used to rally political support, where the actual differences between the two is slight at best.
We all need to come back down to earth, stop believing talk show hosts (or radio hosts), and have empathy for our fellow man. Conservatives and Liberals both, overwhelmingly, love their country.
If ever there was a time to become more "nationalist" this is it. We have put ourselves in a precarious position by allowing China to control pharmaceuticals. We are at their mercy. This isn't something that was done by one party or the other. Politicians from both parties have been feeding at the trough of the Chinese for decades.
When even the Pentagon is purchasing goods from China it should be obvious something is completely out of whack.
Think how easy it would have been to provide significant tax breaks to companies who bought US goods as opposed to simply giving them the world and then being shocked when they don’t change business practices and use their new free money to buy back stocks to prop up executive bonuses.
This is such a nice thing to see a fellow human being actually put on paper. You should have been one of these.
