    In other news, Trump apparently thinks cutting jobs at the NSC, whilst they are already front-and-centre in this shitstorm, is a genius move.

    You can guarantee, of course, that the two scenarios would not be treated equally by Fox News.

    Sperry worked for Investors Business Daily. You can say he's biased in favor of Trump but he does follow up with evidence. If these tweets are confirmed you can kiss this one goodbye and get to work on another impeachment dream. ;)

    You still don't fucking get it, do you?

    Trump is on tape committing impeachable offences.

    Fucking Emperor Palpatine could be the one who revealed the existence of the tapes and it wouldn't stop Trump being guilty.

    Always a sign you are confident in your position when you are too afraid to defend it.

    You are now officially in a parallel universe to the rest of the planet. Trump wasn't digging up dirt in Ukraine, he was bribing criminals to invent dirt on his political enemies. That the whistleblower is both acquainted with Ukrainian corruption and with the proven crimes of Manafort is further corroboration.

    Let's assume for the moment that the Winged Monkeys' latest attempt at deflection is correct, and the whistleblower is indeed a Democrat and a disgruntled ex-employee.

    If your ex-girlfriend reports you for dealing cocaine because she hates you ... and then the cops find a dozen kilos in your house ... and then they find your text messages with your customers, some of whom start to talk ... and then you go on live TV, snort a couple of lines, and say "yeah, this is my coke, whaddaya gonna do about it?" ... your ex's motives for turning you in become pretty irrelevant.

    I am very much Calvinist in Soteriology. However, the Reformed tradition is much deeper and far more nuanced than those five simple points. We must remember that the "Five Points of Calvinism" are anything but. The Remonstrants, led by Jacob Arminius, challenged five specific doctrines of grace. So called "Five Point Calvinism" is merely the specific response of the Council, or Synod, of Dort (1618-1619) to these five specific challenges.

    I understand what each of you are saying, but at its core, we're talking about a theological label that individuals have applied to themselves and a movement has applied to itself. So, I would think it would follow that we would need to try to use the theological definition of the word. Unfortunately, I think it's an ultimately meaningless label because, once upon a time, it did have a specific meaning, but today it's so muddled and murky that it can mean twenty different things to twenty different people. Thus, making it woefully inadequate as a descriptor of any specific belief.

    Again, twenty different meanings to twenty different people. The Roman Church and your typical 21st Century "Fundamentalist" come to, essentially, the same conclusions (e.g. homosexuality, abortion, and all the other social ills) even though they come to those conclusions from very different directions.

    Paul Washer once asked, "When will we realize that one of the greatest mission fields in the West is the pews of our churches every Sunday morning?" I think he was likely expanding on a few quotes from Martin Luther. From his introduction to his commentary on Galatians:

    The command, the mandate, the imperative, is to go into all the nations preaching the gospel and making disciples. Thus, we will do.

    Looks like Trump is taking shots at Romney now.

    He keeps taking shots at fellow Republicans and he might find himself on the wrong side of a Senate vote. :?:

    There’s a Mormon prophecy which says that one day a Mormon will save the Constitution. If folks can just convince Mitt that he’s the Chosen One, he might decide to lead the charge against Trump.

    While interesting that really does not sound to me like a call to action for Mitt Romney.

    You have no idea how seriously many Mormons take that. They assume that any Mormon running for any office is potentially the Chosen One.

    No he didn't.

    No amount of you saying he did will change reality to match your delusions.

    So why is he now saying that he didn't want to make that "perfect" phone call, but Rick Perry talked him into it?

    According to republicans all the physical evidence is completely irrelevant because the girlfriend is a slut. we see the excuses with @Dayton Kitchens and @Zombie disregarding actual confessions and evidence because trump is a republican.

    We all know the prophecy speaks of the true chosen one who is an autistic substitute gym coach who impersonates a wildlife officer born of the town drunk and the local crack whore in a small town in arkansas.
