You know, the irony of that scenario is that I actually don't fault Trump for it. I mean, I'm not a fan of it -- don't get me wrong. But it's not in the scheme of things a big deal given her profession.

What I think is so obnoxious about it is that Trump coopted the holy roller base and that same base, claiming to be morally superior and judgmental of so many others, were willing to ignore it. Which makes me once again question the sincerity of that segment of the GOP electorate.

But are you okay with Biden claiming to be a devout Catholic while openly flaunting central tenants of the catechism? Or Bill Clinton not living up to his Southern Baptist standards. Or that other d bout Catholic JFK? Let’s face it, politicians have always touted faith to get votes. The only President of my lifetime I felt was really 100% authentic in his faith was Carter. Good man. Lousy President unfortunately. I am not Voting for my Church Pastor every four years, I am voting for an effective leader

I wonder if Biden will formally announce that Fentanyl overdoses are now the #1 cause of death among people 18-45? A fact that he helped make happen with his come one come all open border policy.

I cannot think of one thing going well with this crew.
Maybe lowered drug prices.

He didn't lower my prescription drug prices, they keep going up every year. I'm just glad that Pfizer sponsored that devil worshiper on the Grammy's last night.

To die from it you first have to take it right? Why no personal responsibility anymore?

Maybe stop using so many resources on the drugs that aren't dangerous?

He’s likely to tell us the number one cause of death is from white supremacists

The fentanyl crisis predates this admin. Don't be a dumbass.

I don't think you understand my point.

Using Democrats -Biden, Clinton, or JFK -- to say that they also had moral failings -- is beside the point. My criticism is not of them (or of Trump).


It is that the GOP religious right, which claims to hold moral high ground and routinely bashes those with whom they disagree politically for such moral failures, explicitly did not do so here.

So when the religious right claims to be motivated not by pure politics but by purity of their moral beliefs, I question that since they are ready to bash a Dem who falls short of the mark but openly supported a guy that both paid a porn star for sex while married and then went to great lengths to hide it.

His moral failure with women is his. As was Clinton's, as was JFK's. But the religious right, to have any credibility, should have bashed Trump just as they have others. And not only did they stay mum, they rallied for Trump.

Because nobody wants to work anymore after been given free money the past 3 years.
That isn't success, that is decimating our industrial base. See it everyday and always a lead in question with me.

Imagine complaining that no one wants to work low paying jobs anymore, and then attributing the high employment rate to those same jobs 🤣🤣🤣

You assume incorrectly that the religious right is some Puritan morality in practice. Believers know we are all sinners and fail regularly, but strive to avoid.
And people change. Not saying Trump has as it isn't for me to say.
