what is most wrong with the Republican party?

[annabenedetti]

And Democrats have people just as bad ... only different sins. Since the Clintons and the puppet Biden, it makes me sick to think about the things they have done and believe in. Who can ever visit our Oral/ Oval office again?!!!! Hillary is a disgrace as a wife and as a national leader. The morals and agenda of the Democratic Party is totally godless.

Who can ever visit the Oval Office again?! Have you not been disgusted by what Trump has done to the Oval Office? It looks like a bordello.
You have no outrage for Trump but you're still whinging about people who never held the office of president or held it years and decades ago. You don't hold Trump to account for the damage he has done, but other citizens have. And they voted accordingly.

 

[Ps82]

What if the truth of their religion is to beat your wives, and murder their daughters ... and cut the throats of those who even dare to share the faith they have in Christ ...? Does your tolerance have a red line?

We have religious freedom in this country today. I'd like it to stay that way. That freedom means you may not like or believe in the truth of your neighbor's religion but ideally you should support their freedom of belief.

What's your plan? Deport every citizen of Muslim faith? Tell MI their votes didn't count because the candidate wasn't the approved religion?

That's blatantly unconstitutional. Do you care?

I guess this is not a Christian theology site after all.

Allowing opposing viewpoints to be discussed does not make this "not a Christian theology site."

 

[JudgeRightly]

I support the freedom of religion up until the point where your religion actively denies me the right to exercise mine. Or worse.

Like Islam, for example.

 

[JudgeRightly]

Catholics were historically treated badly by the early colonial governments. They didn't have the same rights as Protestants.

Because we were a Protestant nation.

That was the whole point of the Pilgrims.

Didn't you learn about this in elementary school?

Since when? What you advocate on here would curtail the freedoms and liberties we currently have, very much so in fact.

 

[Arthur Brain]

Exactly right. Today I'm proud of my state, very proud of the strength and perseverance of the people who have spoken, and spoken decisively and historically! And proud of a couple of my family members who finally had enough of everything Trump stands for. That's saying a lot, because I come from a conservative world.

History was made, in many ways.

In New Hampshire, Democrat Chris Pappas will be the first openly gay male US Senator. In Florida, Republican Byron Donalds will be Florida's first Black governor. In Georgia, Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms will be the first Black woman governor of that state. In Texas, Democrat Gina Hinojosa will be first Latina governor of that state. In California, Democrat Xavier Becerra will be our first Latino governor. In New Mexico, Democrat Deb Haaland will be the first Native American woman to be governor in U.S. history. And in Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed will be the first Muslim senator in U.S. history.

There were other historical events - Democrats in offices across the country which had been held by Republicans for generations and decades. Trifectas in states where the Democrats swept both state houses and the governorship. Democrats flipped five governorships, in red states not expected, the majority of governorships will be Democratic in 2027, and some of the most corrupt and scandal-ridden candidates who Trump tried to keep in office are going to be gone.

Oh, it was a historic result in many ways and a disastrous night for the Republicans and they can *thank* Trump and his spineless cohorts for that. True to narcissistic form, Trump is blaming Republican candidates for the losses, claiming that if he'd been on the ballot they'd have won. Secretly, they must be seething something chronic as they would have known his disapproval rating was accurate but meantime, he blustered away about how great he's doing and it was utter nonsense. Heck, he was waffling on abut the reflecting pool the day before the midterms which showed he really had his finger on the pulse on what actually mattered to Americans... They paid the price - and deservedly so. Hopefully, it's the beginning of the end for the orange travesty and his regime, and sanity is gradually restored to the political climate.

Oh, there's corruption in democratic circles but Trump took it to a whole new level. Frankly, after what he's done to the WH, who'd want to visit the tacky testament to his own vanity anyway?! He demolished the East Wing for a ballroom that's never gonna get built anyway and made the rest of it look like (as Obama hilariously put it) a cheesecake factory...

Bill Clinton certainly had his faults but at least he didn't waste millions of dollars of taxpayer money on pet vanity project,s and we certainly didn't have masked thugs like ICE roaming around with anonymity and impunity, separating families and killing American citizens. Hilary never gained presidential power anyway so why you're going on about her is anyone's guess. Trump reflects moral values as much as a mirror that's been covered in tacky, gold paint.
