    Mind boggling?

    “We also recognize just as it has been in the United States, for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic,” she said at the time. “So to that end, we are announcing today also that we will assist Jamaica in Covid recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public health but also the economy.”

    43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

    How does this counter my point - that trump is dumb?

    IOW, nothing requirement to "show you love to lefties" or anyone else.
    "Show your love" is what adolescents say to their dates to test their intelligence.

    Snopes admitted that Trump's rambling artless statement was not incoherent or inaccurate.
    Beyond that even intellectuals are often incoherent. Surely you have noticed.

    Among the veil makers and obfuscators, Mills singles out professors for his sharpest critiques in “The Powerless People” and also in a critique of textbooks published a year earlier.”

    The current situation in America is by way of being something of a psychiatrical clinic... Perhaps the commonest and plainest evidence of this unbalanced mentality is to be seen in a certain fearsome and feverish credulity with which a large proportion of the Americans are affected.[125] Credulity is a state of delusion; it represents a rift between thought and action.” Thorstein Veblen

    You don’t have to answer it. I got the point. No Christian will be silent or ask a different question when they are asked “Are you a Christian” . A Christian doesn’t shy away when asked “ Are you follower of Jesus”

    Thank you very much. I have ZERO interest discussing Biblical theology with someone who is not Christian. Have a good day.

    So you can't show a situation where our Federal Government came knocking down citizens doors to confiscate their arms. Shocked I tell ya.

    LMFAO!!!!! Nice gas lighting attempt but the above is a solid FAIL. trumps stream of thought rant want was 100% incoherent. He couldnt keep track of his train of thought.
    I'll grant you that some intellectuals may seem incoherent but, then again, so do idiots. trump is certainly with the latter.

    Read your posts again. This was your position: "We had a rifle ban for years, yet I don't recall the government knocking on doors and stripping citizens of their arms." WalterSobchak

    The Federal government is not the only government in the US.

    Silly political ad hominem no longer damages Trump. It helps him expand his base and undermines the credibility of his critics.

    "The one thing that puzzles us the most about this sprawling statement is this: Donald Trump's late uncle, Dr. John Trump, was indeed a renowned professor at MIT,..." Snopes

    Not a 4 Pinocchio prize like this:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...aims-new-georgia-law-ends-voting-hours-early/

    OTOH, Gun control laws are irrational and very stupid, but that does not mean that all gun control advocates are stupid. :)

    While the left says a considerable majority is coming from the right. Political loyalty makes partisans predictable. I don’t care which is worse and see no objective way to measure such subjectivity. I argue that if a thing is wrong for one it is wrong for all and that to go with the lesser evil is to side with evil. Hate begets hate and I see no shortage of it on either side. Rationalizing and minimizing ensures its continuation.

    Again, you can't point to just one instance in our History where our arms have been stripped away from us.

    You mean the one where non-local police agencies took about 500 firearms and gave them all back after the settlement? Yeah, I have a scant recollection of that.

    not all of them: some were "lost" (ie stolen by the police).

    some did, sovereign immunity is often used to thwart suits against official misconduct. ideally, the person who gave the order should have been prosecuted and sued civilly under BIVENS or 42 USC 1983

    The Sermon On The Mount and Samuel's warning about kings was persuasive for Tolstoy -- and for me, but Tolstoy became a pacifist/anarchist Christian.
    I suppose I could be described as a flexible, aggressive, 'guns are good tools', bad Christian. Flexible enough to love my enemies, and still kill them if absolutely necessary. Life involves many unpleasant choices and frequent errors.

    Of course, I like all of this one: Luke 18:9-11 "And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector."

    No Christian will ever be able to follow Jesus successfully regardless of how hard they try. Fortunately, they can be forgiven for their failure. TG! :)

    OTOH, the text of Koran as created from the oldest sources, as opposed to Sira's created from later documents, is surprisingly consistent with much Christian teaching. So it is easy to love almost all Muslims, but I am not a Muslim.

    Is it not possible that within 30 years people will learn that a gun can't do anything without a shooter. It is the shooters and potential shooters that should be the focus. Can you explain why we didn't have school shootings before the passage of the firearms control act in the 1960's? I'll take your bet about which of us has expended more rounds of ammunition.

    I read a little more about what happened. The State response along with the States police did an awful job handling that crisis. What a shitmess that was.
