Donald Trump did a vulgar impression at his rally last night

    Yikes! I clicked on the link and saw what was being talked about. I was thinking "omg" or some such. What he said is not what I say.

    It reminds me of the motto if the British Oder of the Garter:
    Evil unto him that thinks it.

    Turning your back on murder is disgraceful. Nitpicking morality is disgraceful. Jesus talked about straining gnats and removing logs from our own eyes. You've not learned these lessons.

    Yes, but it's worse than that here. It was presented as a question in the link precisely because they know this is not what the president did. The title of the thread is calumny. To post something like that and then quote, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” - Ephesians 5:11 ESV, is doubly vile, blind hypocrisy. No one truly wishing to follow that admonition would have posted such a link as though its message were valid. There is no doubt that TDS has deeply deceived many, even Christians who know better.

    I happened to see that part of Trump's speech at the Minneapolis rally on TV as it happened (live). I thought he was exaggerating the texting conversation the two had about the "insurance policy" to make sure Trump isn't elected. At no time did I think Trump was insinuating the two were orgasmic, in fact I'm pretty sure Trump prefaced his remarks by saying something like, "listen to this text conversation they had."

    I saw it. That didn't strike me as being particularly orgasmic.

    It's so tame, it makes "John and Marsha" seem like hardcore porn. (Ask your grandparents.)

    I agree. I'll admit, Trump may be a little further down the list than some, but where do we draw the line?

    Every candidate is going to have something in his past, something he's done, or something he's doing, or even something he says he wants to do that we can find fault with. So what, exactly, disqualifies someone?

    If they don't like Trump, which is fine, then it should be up to them to tell us who they feel is better.

    Boy, a lot of judgment here. It think this post says it all. You hate Trump.

    Curious also, since you believe that involvement in government and politics is a distraction from the Gospel, do you also condemn military service? For that's the ultimate form of nationalism, and the ultimate form of loyalty to the current commander in chief.

    I mulled over that subject quite a bit when I was in my 20s. There are good arguments on both sides of that issue as to whether Christians should serve in the military. Since I never had to make a personal decision one way or the other, I never did. The federal government stopped drafting during the summer before my senior year in high school. My brother and brother-in-law both served in Vietnam. My brother-in-law made a career in the Air Force. My brother now suffers from the effects of Agent Orange. I have two great-nephews who served in Iraq. I have no problem with them having served in the military.

    So it seems you want to cling to both sides of the fence. You went on and on about how politics and government are a distraction to the gospel. Military service is about as nationalistic as you can get. You are pledging allegiance to a nation, even to the point of killing others. Yet, you are against voting to save the unborn.

    There is right and wrong. There is legal and illegal. They are not always the same.

    You're skirting the issue again, applying your premises inconsistently. Either association with the world is wrong in all cases, or it's not. You seem to only apply it selectively to support your options and condemn others.

    Like I wrote, since I never had to make a personal decision, I didn't.

    Trump is a trip. He pulls no punches dealing with scum bags.

    Does not bother me in the least. What is "Presidential"? Was Kennedy Presidential? Sleeping with every woman who walked by?
