Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Exactly!
And the same holds true for jobs numbers, criminal activity within the administration, and demonstrating patriotism.
He's white, and he's a Republican, so it just doesn't matter.
My father believes that little donnie has gotten away with so much already and nothing has been done to stop him that at this point they will continue to allow this for the next four years.
I am trying to stay optimistic and he will be impeached or resign.
The hypocrisy of this administration is astonishing. With the outright lies told on a daily basis by the so-called leader of the free world it defies logic that in a country that claims to be the greatest nation the world has ever known this dangerous lunatic is allowed to continue his term and is even embraced by a good number of the population. Sickening.
We are a country without a president. We are a country taxed without leaders. We are a country that was cyber invaded by foreign actors, spies and liars. We are a country of hardworking immigrants. We have been hacked, attack and now witness the shameful dangerous outcome of rigged elections, deceitful politicians, evil dictators and confused citizens. Everyday we must charge and convict those involved of this international crime. Everyday we must track, trace, ID and prosecute those responsible.
I think we need to use every means possible to render republicans powerless, and that includes the use of language.
We've all seen the acronym "IOKIYAR." From Gryphen's post"He's white, and he's a Republican, so it just doesn't matter."
Neither of these are true, and I realize they are said as meaning just the opposite. But we need to make it clear that such sentiments are held by republicans, not the remaining law abiding, constitution respecting people.
Republicans believe IOKIYAR. Not the rest of us. He's white, and he's republican, so republicans believe it just doesn't matter what he does. Not the rest of us. And not the constitution.
Words matter. Maybe this is trivial, but I think we need to be explicit (because there are a lot of stupid people out there) as to what is really okay and what really matters.
And don't forget golfing. IOKIYAR. Oh, and travel expenses. They would scream and Nash their teeth when the Obamas would go to Hawaii. There were stories at the end of last year that their travel had cost taxpayers 85 million in 8byears. Oh, for the good old days. One of the biggest critics was judicial watch. Haven't heard a peep out of them about the expenses trump is running up. But they claim to b non-partisan
In a particularly charming segment being denounced as a "Sick Ice Cream Orgy" that promotes lust as a virtue, the show takes aim at conversion therapy—the discredited practice of trying to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. In the segment, a vanilla ice cream cone tells all the other ice cream flavors they need to become vanilla, too. "I just think if you want to get right with the big ice cream in the sky, change your flavor by wishing to be vanilla," it says. (Oh, and there actually is an ice cream orgy—so enjoy!)
Conservative bloggers are especially horrified by what's been dubbed a "vulgarity-laced, transgender manifesto," sung by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Rachel Bloom. The freakout over Bloom's supposed "transgender anthem" is doubly bizarre, because it's a clear misunderstanding of her lyrics; the song is about sexual preference and doesn't really mention gender identity. "This world of ours is so full of choice," sings Bloom. "But must I choose between only John or Joyce? Are my options only hard or moist? My vagina has its own voice."
As Carson attempts to begin making changes to HUD policy, at least one group is following his moves closely. CarsonWatch is “a grassroots campaign” launched by nonprofit lawyers’ group Public Advocates and funded by three housing and justice organizations including the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, according to CityLab. The site offers news updates and opportunities to “take action.”
The website reads, “CarsonWatch is committed to stopping President Trump, HUD Secretary Ben Carson and their congressional allies from any attempts to roll back fair housing protections and undermine the housing security of millions of Americans.”
This Is How 2,000+ Americans Described the Trump Administration (in Two Words)
I recently asked readers of my Twitter account to describe the first 100 days of the Trump administration in two words. More than 2,000 readers responded, and while many of the responses were profane — and some didn’t quite follow the prompt — a trend among the replies was evident: Americans, or at least the 100,000 or so who follow my Twitter feed, have almost nothing positive to say about the current occupant of the White House.
Below I’ve listed several hundred of the responses I received to my query. Be warned: graphic language abounds here, and avid Trump supporters may find themselves repeatedly triggered.
...So what can we learn from all of the above, apart from the fact that my Twitter followers universally detest this president? A good deal, I should think, as again one would’ve expected at least one of the more than 2,000 responses I received to speak positively of the current occupant of the White House. That not even one compliment could be found for this President’s handling of his job — even taking into account the uncommonly anti-Trump environment of my Twitter feed — is, I think, a rather startling finding. The consensus seems to be, as many media pundits are saying, that this has been, in fact, the worst first 100 days of any presidency in American history.
44 Leaders, Legislators And Artists Sum Up Trump’s First 100 Days
--“There’s been an arc of betrayal, chaos, manipulation and ignorance.”
--“Every action and word of Trump has [a] foul stench of political expediency and self-aggrandizing, total lack of moral compass and leadership.”
--“It’s clear now that ‘Drain the Swamp’ really meant ‘Suck up all the morally bankrupt billionaires, Wall Street executives, and special-interest pond scum, and then pump them into the White House with a fire hose.’”
--“Bad for children, mothers, workers, immigrants, women’s health, LGBTQ rights and national security, just to name a few.”
" I am not going to play golf. I couldn’t care less about golf.” "“It would be much better if people would understand that I could go other places than I have,”“But then they HIT ME for relaxing. And I don’t want to be known as a person that relaxes because I am working hard and I am working hard for the people and we’re doing a great job.”
And in Trumpland, the Easter Bunny dressed in a military uniform sings the National Anthem.

ReplyDeleteI am trying to stay optimistic and he will be impeached or resign.
Or, the good chance of being assassinated. He has hated throughout the country!
DeleteNone of them sing. Melania was mouthing the words to the Presidential Oath that awful day, and she doesn't even know the SSB? Sad.

ReplyDeleteMainly the fact that he's white and secondly, that he's a he. We can't go from the colored guy to a woman, now can we?
