Not too damned obvious

Attorney General Merrick Garland has named Friday a special counsel to investigate the entirety of the criminal probe into the unlawful retention of national defense information at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, Fox News has learned.

The counsel will also look into key aspects of the Jan. 6 investigation, a senior Justice Department official also told Fox News.

Completely unnecessary. President Trump violated no laws with respect to the presidential records act. Another witch hunt.

Merrick Garland is using lawfare to go after a political opponent.

Who has done more harm to the country: Trump or Biden who has allowed millions to pour across the southern border, with gangs and drugs galore? Trump or Biden who has deprived Americans of secure reliable and cheap fuel sources and throttled small businesses? Trump or Biden who has squandered over $91 billion to keep a war going in Ukraine? Trump or Biden who has destroyed the creation of new jobs and pushed up inflation by his policies to heights not seen in 40 years?

Is Garland still hunting for a crime that deserves punishing Trump while dangerous crimals are being set free across the country by political judges and the DOJ and FBI are perverting justice. We all know you cannot expect a fox to guard the hen house.

Trump will first be indicted in Georgia.

Not likely at all. There is no evidence of any criminal act.

Really? What would you say if a democrat had done this?

Trump hasn’t done anything. This is a totalitarian state, one like Iran who is poised to commit genocide against 15,000 of its citizens who disagree with the government, enacting thug-like edicts to marginalize a political opponent they can’t win against legally.

And greg, just to shut down your Biblical prooftexting, the Bible forbids fornication, which is sex outside of marriage…which is what essentially all abortions are the product of.

Abortion is a non-starter. It is murder, and it’s against God’s Kingdom.

You’d get along great with the Taliban. It’s probably why Trump surrendered Afghanistan to them. You should probably shut up about the Bible.

Not at all. My Faith gives forth the following Fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23).

Love
Joy
Peace
Forbearance
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control

You should probably shut up about the Bible.

I’m glad to say the time for being quiet about God, Faith, the Gospel, and the Bible as a whole is now over, greg.

I pray you have a calm evening…one that perhaps allows for some reflection…both in yourself, and in Christ.

I’m sorry for being belligerent, truly. You have the same spirit and promise in Christ as anyone else.

I’m probably making you out to be something you’re not, but the things your following…pushing….aren’t going to achieve the kind of loving, peaceful world you think it will.

Like Elijah, I know my God will deliver in ways that other ideologies and false “gods” never will.

The Afghanistan disaster was all idiot Biden, all the way.

Democracy is going to defend itself from those who would destroy it. A Special Counsel can be removed only by the Attorney General, or by impeachment—and Trump’s congressional tools won’t get the votes to do that.

No. Investigating Trump is totalitarian, and the opposite of democracy.

Democracy was when We the People actually voted in a real person who wasn’t installed by the Deep State, Banks, Foreign Money, and Corporations: Donald J. Trump.

Those who would destroy democracy are you, greg, and the Godless people you represent.

Trump’s use by God Himself is quite apparent, when he moved the embassy to the only legal Capitol of Israel, Jerusalem.

Trump violated no laws (or “statutes”…haha) and there is no legal basis for ANY of these investigations.

They are Treasonous and represent a coup performed by a now-illegal Federal Government that is losing it’s credibility with each rigged election and each Putin-style arrest of those who disagree with it.

garland deserves to be impeached. His appointment of a special counsel is not warranted. He is using his office to go after a political opponent.

He is using his office to go after a political opponent.

Garland is not running for office.

No, but one would say he’s in the service of a man who is, Joe Biden, who appointed him.

Who says he is?

Per NBC:

“Former President Donald Trump and his two eldest sons signed the checks the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer used to cheat on his taxes, but they didn’t know it was fraud, the ex-CFO testified Thursday.”

What a nice thing for the ex-CFO to say about the Trumps. And there could be no possible reason why he would ever lie about such a thing.

No, no possible reason at all… other than life in prison and financial ruin if he doesn’t lie to support the government’s case.

That’s one step closer to the the cult’s Jim Jones Kool-Aid moment.

Trump’s use by God Himself is quite apparent…

How odd.. the guy you say no one wants to support keeps getting “investigated” by the weaponized DOJ in a vain attempt to destroy his candidacy. I wonder if Trump announcing his candidacy has anything to do with this? Hmmmm….

The left has never stopped using lawfare against Trump. Not for one single day since he came down the escalator in 2015. This last desperate gasp is another desperate over reach.

Democrats KNOW they cannot defeat President Trump in an HONEST election. Hence this desperate attempt to prevent President Trump from running.

His early candidacy announcement was a ploy to avoid prosecution. Advisors barely stopped him from announcing before the midterms. It will work as a fund raising scam, but it won’t deter state or federal indictments.

Eh, no. But keep trying. No one is listening anymore. Your false regime is reaping the fruits of its Paganism, and persecuting Trump and Christians won’t save you.

Turning to God will.

Also, my church has a ministry where we help single pregnant mothers make the choice to have their baby instead of aborting it. We’ve helped hundreds already, putting that many new people in the world who, as God tells us, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;

Who are we to tell God someone shouldn’t be born? Who is like God? (that’s literally what Michael’s name means, funny enough).

Through our ministry we are overcoming the evil in this world and helping mothers, fathers, and children live the life they were given by God Himself.

Who are we to tell God that someone should be? God gave human beings the freedom to choose. Some human’s—often unworthy—presume to speak for Him and do things in His name. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church has endorsed and encouraged Putin’s destruction of Ukraine, for example. People should ignore such men and listen to the voice of their own conscience.

Last edited 1 year ago by Greg

Indeed.

WHO ARE YOU TO TELL GOD THAT SOMEONE CAN’T BE BORN WHEN THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN FORMED IN THE SPIRT BEFORE THE WOMB, WHICH THEY ARE NOW GROWING IN?

God gave human beings the freewill to choose to take actions, or not.

I’ll ask again.

WHO ARE YOU TO TELL GOD THAT SOMEONE CAN’T BE, UNDER THE COWARDICE OF “FREEDOM TO CHOOSE?”

Answer me, GREG. Who are you to say someone can’t be born because a woman’s failsafe for bad reproductive choices is a Godless murder of her own baby, a choice she made when she chose to have sex and was under the spell of the false notion promiscuity doesn’t have consequences?

Fornication is sex out of wedlock, and it’s forbidden. It’s how God prevents such situations.

God gave people free will. The have the freedom to choose sin, or Grace.

Killing an unborn child out of convenience is a sin.

“If it feels good, do it” and “live your truth” aren’t working out for your failing sub-society, are they greg?

They never do.

Glad we’re helping more babies be born and preventing predators like you from reaping them before they’ve had a chance.

I am no one to say, neither are you, and that’s the entire point. It’s a matter between a woman, her own beliefs, and her own conscience.

The first clause of the First Amendment to the US Constitution puts the State out of the religion business. That’s how important the Founders thought religious freedom to be. Some people want to blow that off entirely and drag us back to 15th Century England. Thanks to a fallen GOP that has lost touch with constitutional principles and individual freedom, they’re making headway.

If that were true, we’d be living in a lawless anarchy, which is probably what you want.

A person is a person when they are growing in a woman.

Not only is this scientific, it’s Biblical.

Normalizing the brutal and barbaric practice of abortion is like allowing any of our other most heinous crimes to be “just a matter of choice.”

A woman, in our society, does NOT have the right to kill her child because it cramps her style…not when the kid is 17, 11, 3, or just two cells.

It’s the same thing.

You’re the one taking choice away, and smiling while you do it…

Last edited 1 year ago by Nathan Blue

Actually, it’s neither. You can find passages in the Bible that go either way. One clearly states the soul enters the body with the first drawn breath. Science defines what an organism is based on DNA identity, but it doesn’t say a damn thing about when a fetus becomes a person. People have taken it upon themselves to make their own personal belief the law of the land. That’s contrary to the First Amendment. Personally, I would deem forcing a woman to carry and give birth to a child who will be born without a skull a sin.

Actually, it’s both.

Those who live by relativism are doomed to perish by the relativism of everyone else.

You just have no leg to stand on this, greg. You’re in a Cult, parroting the usual tripe that “pro-choice” Pagans parrot when they can’t actually give a persuasive argument.

You’re free to lead yourself and your family down the road of sexual immorality, moral relativism, and sacrificing life for profit.

But you’ll sow the fruit that comes with the Works of the Flesh, all the same.

I’m sorry, but you full of it, and I’m tired of arguing with self-righteous prigs who imagine themselves morally and intellectually superior to anyone and everyone who disagrees with them.

God has not placed His Official Seal of Approval on Donald Trump, the GOP, you, me, or anyone else.

Last edited 1 year ago by Greg

I’m deferring to God, and following His Word and his commandments.

You’re making yourself god, and failing.

I know how this ends.

God has placed his Official Seal on EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING He’s created in His image. We are loved, we aren’t meant to be, and we have the potential to follow Him and expand his Kingdom.

Including you.

The internal fight within you that’s apparent to me but hidden to you is one of authority.

God has Authority. You KNOW this, but don’t want to submit to it…so you push your own false-authority on others while pretending to have no.

I, indeed, have authority in Jesus Christ, and in that authority, I am BOLDLY witnessing to you that abortion is murder, it’s not a “choice,” it’s an action and it’s against God and His Kingdom.

God has Authority. You KNOW this, but don’t want to submit to it

Nah.

At least we understand the crux of the issue.

Turn to God and have a safe, free, and moral nation…or turn away from God and reap the fruits of that, which are catastophe.

Without God you won’t be able to keep the culture, freedoms, and lifestyle that was LITERALLY given to you by a Christian nation and it’s beliefs.

Men claim authority in God’s name, and then use it to rationalize their own ungodly beliefs and actions.

Nope.

I have authority in Christ.
You’re lost, but I believe you can be found…like all who come to Christ.

You’ll have that authority, too.

You read like stale monologue from a Dennys-living goth kid in the 1980s spouting dogma while believing he’s the one who invented his tired, old, meaningly anti-theology that has already been dispelled.

You have NO authority in Christ. You can try to understand and follow his teachings–and good on all sincere souls who can and do–but he didn’t appoint you or anyone else Sheriff of Dodge City. In fact, we’ve been specifically warned not to judge our brothers and sisters.

You have NO authority in Christ.

Luckily, that’s not for you to say, friend.

Authority in Christ doesn’t come from “understanding and following” teachings.

It’s comes from Grace.

In fact, we’ve been specifically warned not to judge our brothers and sisters.

If you are for God, you’re not against God.

You can’t be both.

Revelation 3:6

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Just make a choice, greg. I’ll pray with you any time.

There is no such human authority, except in the minds of authoritarians.

Authority in Christ doesn’t come from “understanding and following” teachings.

There is no such human authority

Which is why I said I have authority in Christ. It’s not “human authority”.

Glad you agree with me.

But if we’re bring real, you support authoritarians and have do so for years.

Why?

Joe biden is guilty of 10 felonies

Defund the DOJ

Should garland appoint a special counsel to investigate the biden crime family’s cartel?

So, why do we protect eagle and turtle eggs? They’re nothing until they hatch, right?

Once the baby can survive outside of the mom—just as with eagle and turtle eggs—he or she should be protected.

Once the baby can survive outside of the mom—just as with eagle and turtle eggs—he or she should be protected.

Why? Under what authority? If there is no God, there is NO basis for moral law.

None, though half-thinking, self-described “smart people” think there is, but never can provide anything.

As an atheist, michael, you’d NEVER tell someone what they are believing is wrong, nor would you say they are “pushing it on you.” You’d just try to kill off or marginalize their belief, while claiming they are doing it to you.

Which is what you do.

Every belief is now wrong, in your faith. It’s only about who can impose their belief on others.

That’s what trying to push away God looks like: calamity.

Once the baby can survive outside of the mom—just as with eagle and turtle eggs—he or she should be protected.

So you are disputing the left’s demand for late term partial birth abortion on demand? Really? That goes against Democrat abortion dogma.

The whole argument is bogus, because you have to make up “personhood” to allow for a rationalization to support your personal belief, which you are LITERALLY trying to make the law of the land.

A pregnancy becomes an adult human being. There is NO logical case to abort a fetus as if it didn’t happen.

NONE.

 You can find passages in the Bible that go either way. One clearly states the soul enters the body with the first drawn breath.

No you can’t, you haven’t supplied any. That’s such a dead and hackneyed proof-text by pro-abortionists that doesn’t hold up to the whole of Bible.

People have taken it upon themselves to make their own personal belief the law of the land.

Yes, and you are those people. You believe you can kill off a baby before birth. I don’t. My God doesn’t, either.

As I said, it’s my God vs. your false gods.

Only one of them is right.

Why would you want a world full of humans acting like rutting monkeys who kill off pregnancies instead of whole, loving families with well-taken care of kids and a stable society?

That’s the real question for you, greg.

Your religious belief on abortion is killing our civilization.

Mine isn’t. I stand by my knowledge, and faith in God, that abortion is murder and wrong.

Abortion is eugenics. We’ve made it the Law of the Land for almost 50 years. It only helped to destroy our nation.

We know what it looks like. We’ve run the experiment.

It’s not good.

Overturning Roe V Wade, like RBG wanted, is simply our government working correctly.

Roe forced a belief on the rest of us.

Tearing that down isn’t “making our beliefs the law of the land,” it’s rejecting you doing that to everyone else.

It’s democracy.

Not only is this scientific, it’s Biblical.

The Bible means nothing in this context. Go ahead and live by the Bible, if you want to. You just don’t get to tell anyone else to do so.

Go ahead and live by the Bible, if you want to. You just don’t get to tell anyone else to do so.

The issue is that you are telling everyone else to live by your Religion, and taking false-umbrage with a false narrative that we are telling you to be Christian.

When it comes to abortion, it’s MY GOD OR YOURS.

Do you think your god(s) are up for the challenge?

“living your truth,” “trans” and “sacrificing life” aren’t freedom, or belief, or anything else.

They are false-gods, and they are nothing new.

You’re worshiping false gods and using a strawman from 1983 like it’s not asinine.

Maybe you need a refresher on the topic of monotheism. It doesn’t work like partisan politics. Nor does money become God, even though some worship it.

You’re like a squid shooting ink.

One God. Yes, that’s my position.

The god of mammon is alive and well in the world, greg.

One God. Yes, that’s my position.

Nah. You’re saying that there’s more than one god. Look:

it’s MY GOD OR YOURS.

Do you think your god(s) are up for the challenge?

Nah. You’re being daft, and pedantically ignorant.

As usual.

You have a god. A false god.

It’s my God or your god.

Do you think your god(s) are up for the challenge?

Love how you ran with that, as if the gods you don’t even know you’re worshipping were clambering for recognition.

The prohibition against murder has nothing to do with religion.

Some people, like yourself, want to revert back to the 1st century and human sacrifice.

it’s forbidden

By your religion. So don’t do it. Nobody’s forcing you to fornicate.

That wasn’t the issue. We were discussing if there was a Biblical basis for abortion being allowed.

And there very much is a counter-religion to my Faith that is forcing ideas, norms, and systems on me that are designed specifically to attack God.

I understand what you are saying, michael, so we can put this “don’t force your religion on me” aside.

If you and I disagree on something major, like abortion, you don’t get to say “I don’t follow your God” like that gives you primacy.

It doesn’t. It means we are of two nations.

I wonder if you have any thoughts on this?

This would be an example of using the Law to marginalize a religion, namely the religion that American Law was founded on.

Or is this alarmist and hyperbolic? I’m asking, honestly.

Here’s what that means: Soon after Biden signs the bill into law, there will begin to be same-sex couples demanding to be married in evangelical churches they know to be opposed to the practice.

If the pastor refuses to perform the ceremony, the church will be sued and it will lose in court. That litigation will then be used by the IRS as justification for ending the church’s tax-exempt status, as well as the tax-deductibility of congregants’ tithes and contributions.

But that’s not all. The IRS is being primed to be ready for action against evangelical and traditional Catholic social service institutions as well. As Heritage Action for America explains:

Just months after Democrats used the Inflation Reduction Act to fund 87,000 new IRS agents, the Respect for Marriage Act would be giving those new agents carte blanche to harass and target religious schools and other faith-based entities that oppose same-sex marriage and eventually strip them of their tax-exempt status.

Worse, it would create a roving license to sue anyone acting “under color of law” – a loosely defined term that would include those providing government-funded or -regulated services. As a result, adoption centers and foster care providers with religious objections to same-sex marriage would have to close down.

There is freedom of choice. Women have all the power. They can choose not to have sex and get pregnant. In every state in the union, they can choose to get an abortion, if they so decide, in a reasonable period of time.

You simply assume all women are too stupid to figure this out.

another waste of time and taxpayer money. Hoping to find an unpaid parking ticket?
Meanwhile evidence of slow-joe n co’s well documented fraud, corruption and treason doesn’t get a solid look by the department of injustice…

The incoming congress should defund the DOJ. Their purpose has become irrelevant.

The incoming congress should defund the DOJ. Their purpose has become irrelevant.

Federal laws should go unenforced, then, is what you’re saying.

I’d say yes, if the Federal Government is now illegal.

if the Federal Government is now illegal

Such an active imagination!

Nah. It’s a real question going through the minds of most Americans as elections get rigged, our own government is laundering money to keep it’s people in power, and we increasingly censor and arrest those who oppose a tyrannical government….like Putin does.

Why would Trump believe that would avoid prosecution? When have the Democrats hesitated to persecute Trump or any other Republican simply because it would look bad or was illegal? Trump is, no doubt, well aware that NOTHING dissuades scumbag Democrats from attacking him, even though they declared investigating candidates to be off-limits.

It’s desperation and it’s pathetic.

That’s one step closer to the the cult’s Jim Jones Kool-Aid moment.

More like just one step closer to the Cross, greg.

Perhaps you’d like to take a step today? I’ll pray for you…sincerely.

Indeed, those who turn from God are sure to perish.

Those in the Woke Cult, worshiping the usual false gods we’ve seen since the beginning of time.

Democrats don’t even support democracy. If they did, they would have accepted the end of Roe and same-sex marriage when the majority rejected it.

Maybe House republicans shouldn’t have announced their intention to begin investigating every conspiracy theory related to Joe Biden and the imaginary ‘persecution’ of Donald Trump the moment the new Congress is seated.

They got to that before they said the first thing about any legislative initiatives to address the problems they’re always talking about. They’re going to waste two years, while retarding any legitimate efforts the President makes.

Or perhaps the adage “what goes around, comes around” is lost on authoritarians like you.

There’s no credible scandals or crimes on Trump.

But there ARE blatant crimes committed by Biden that are illegally not being investigated, the on-camera confession of withholding aid to Ukraine for a favor being the first of man.

Would life in prison be too good for Biden and his Rougues Gallery of the worst kind?

*sighs* I’m of the mind this whole poop-show can be moved on from. I know…most people want these people to pay, but the whole world now feels like a TV show. It’s nuts.

I say we just get things righted, no “revenge” or restitution. Just back to vigorous debate, but no violence, disagreement, but no political arrests, and move on as a nation with much to offer its citizens and the world.

The war in Europe needs to end. It’s silly.

Massive ‘CitizenFreePress’ News Site Suspended from Musk’s Twitter for Sharing Video of Obama Admitting Election Machine Exploits.IT IS UNCLEAR WHY CFP WAS TARGETED FOR THE SUSPENSION.

The heavily-trafficked news aggregation site CitizenFreePress.com has been suspended from Twitter for sharing a clip of former President Barack Obama, campaigning in 2008, discussing potential problems with American voting machines and demanding paper trails for ballots.

CitizenFressPress.com (CFP) was not the only account to have shared the clip, though appears to be the only one that has received a suspension for doing so. Though the video can still be viewed on Elon Musk’s platform, it now carries a warning label which claims the video is “misleading,” as well as noting that the clip can no longer be replied to, shared, or liked.
The video is still shareable from other accounts, and still available on CSPAN. But someone at Twitter appears to be trying to nuke it, at least from CFP’s account:

Citizen Free Press on Twitter: “Obama in 2008 Voting machines and election fraud https://t.co/CclWN3fplt” / Twitter

Barack vs. The Machines.

In the ostensibly offensive video, former President Obama can be seen campaigning at a rally at Kent State in Ohio.

Around 35 minutes into his speech, he begins to take questions, one of the first being from a lady who asks, “I would just like to know what you can say to reassure us that this election will not be rigged or stolen.”

But the lady isn’t a Capitol-rioting Republican. She’s a Democrat, echoing widespread sentiments of Democrats in the early 2000s, who claimed voting machines in America were rigging elections for Republicans.

The claims began around 2000-2004, as George W. Bush first defeated Al Gore in an election many on the left still claim was “stolen”, and then John Kerry. By 2008, it was a common Democrat talking point that they had to take control of the voting machines, which is precisely how Obama responded in the CFP clip:

“Well, it helps in Ohio but we have Democrats in charge of the machines,” he says to left-wing applause. He continues, in a now rare moment of frankness:

“But, look, I come from Chicago. I want to be honest, it is not as if it is just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have, too. Whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to, you know, tilt things in their direction. That is why we have got to have, I believe, a voting rights division in the Justice Department that is non-partisan and that is serious about investigating cases of voter fraud, is serious about making sure the people are not being discouraged to vote. That is why the voting rights legislation was put in place a couple years ago to help the county clerks. We need paper trails on these new electronic machines, so that you actually have something that you can hang on to after you punched that letter to make sure it has not been hacked into.”

In other words, CFP’s clip eschews no context. Indeed, many more examples of Democrats admitting the flaws in machine voting across America exist, from high profile sources.
