    Donald Trump is far from perfect, particularly as it relates to personnel, but at a moment in time when half the politicians in the country want to destroy the Republic and the other half promise to fix it, only to punt when they get the opportunity—i.e. ending Obamacare, building a wall, cutting spending, etc.—the country needs a leader willing and enthusiastic about tearing asunder the Swamp that is destroying America.

    The country needs a revolution to stop the collapse into tyranny, and it would be far better to have someone from the inside take a wrecking ball to the fascist state the Uniparty has built than from the outside. The first will result in lots of hurt feelings and lighter pocketbooks on the part of thousands of functionaries while the second will turn the country into a war zone. I’d prefer lots of unemployed apparatchiks to American cities looking like Beirut.

    Trump, like Jessup, may be a grotesque figure to many, but there are times when that which makes one grotesque to the people in charge is exactly what is necessary to protect a nation. This is one of those times.

    Yup. Who are you on the FFF? FYI, Jon was invited to debate me there where he couldn't make up the rules and the definitions. He didn't accept.

    ? This Jon? What is the FFF....or FF?

    And if me, why would I want to debate you?

    We pretty much agree on political platforms....with the exception I don't vote - but I also don't debate that decision as it is a matter of my own conscious (I don't care if others vote, and don't view it as wrong for them).

    Ok.....here's the question. Exactly how did @Aaron invite me (if I'm the Jon) to debate him on the FF when I have absolutely no idea what he is talking about and have had no contact with him on another forum?

    Sounds like a tall tale to me.

    What is the FF??

    It’s your up to bat Aaron. Can you knock the cover off the ball?

    @Jon It should be in your PMs if you save them. I don't.

    But you know what a liar I am.

    I don't save them. I do believe you made it up as I don't recall being invited to a debate, but I also may have simply ignored the PM or forgotten about it. This board is r a number 1 priority in my life.

    I don't know what FF is.

    I also don't understand we would have debated.

    My political views seem to be your political views. I am not interested in "debating" by being a part of the choir.

    It is our theological views that differ, not our opinions on political platforms.

    He won't. You know that by now. He will say stuff and when challenged sneak off. The pitch click will get him and he is out at the plate. Batter simply wasn't ready.

    We were debating your politics, which are not the same as mine, and whether or not Biden was in office legitmately, and whether or not all your bluster about the Constitution was really about the constitution. But you interpret the rules to mean it's a sin to assert, or post that he is not in office legitimately, that we must, as if we're in the military, 'respect the office' and follow orders blindly, because this is what 'Christianity demands'. That's the truth of the matter.

    Rhetorical contortions and memory lapses on your part do not constitute lying on mine.

    So I invited you to the fundamental forums to debate there on equal ground. Told you my screen name and described my avatar.

    The invite still stands, btw.

    And that's the last I'll say. PM me if you want to accept the invite. No sense in engaging here, is there?

    I don't recall. What is the Fundamental Forums?

    There still is not enough of a reason for me to debate.

    Your misunderstanding does not constitute a legitimate disagreement enough for me to care.

    I do not believe Biden was elected legitimately. He was, however, confirmed constitutionally (and legally).

    Now, you falsely say I claim Christians should blindly follow secular governments and not speak out against a President. That is false.

    You say that I believe those in the military should respect the office of President. That is true.

    I decline the invite. I am not interested in being more involved in more online forums. I'm already downsizing.
