What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Eddie Teach]

. So I don't know what you are babbling about.

He saw an opportunity to remind everyone that he's too smart to buy into all that religion crap, and he took it.

Well it is fiction, so you can mold it to fit your needs.

But even if that did make sense facts get molded to fit needs several times a second all over the world. So I don't know what you are babbling about.

That sounds like something Kellyanne Conway and Fox News would say.

That does not make any sense. What is actually written in a book is a fact regardless of the factualness of its subject matter.

But even if that did make sense facts get molded to fit needs several times a second all over the world. So I don't know what you are babbling about.

Atheist cry. He doesn't think one should ever know anything about a best selling book let alone one that has shaped the history the last couple millennia.

[garbon]

Yay, Trump trusts Putin's word that he didn't meddle in the election. I wonder if Trump got a sense of his soul.

[Zanza]

Did I just read that Michael Flynn was planning to kidnap someone?

I think it is called extraordinary rendition when governments do it.

Nobody is crying. Believe what you what to believe.

Damned straight. Missed The Electric Company and Ultra Man too. These youngins here just don't have a clue.

WRONG.

Those were never on Sundays.  Ultraman was Saturdays.  Now, Star Trek the animated series on Sundays, yeah.

No, this was just Flynn and his son.

'These Are Not The Actions of an Innocent Man'
Trump's after-the-fact complicity in Russia's election meddling is abundantly clear.
David Frum, The Atlantic

"Every time he sees me he says, 'I didn't do that,' and I really believe that."—Donald Trump on Vladimir Putin, en route to Hanoi, November 11, 2017.

So, to put it bluntly: At this point in the proceedings, there can be no innocent explanation for Donald Trump's rejection of the truth about Russian meddling in last year's elections. Earlier, it may have been suggested, sympathetically, that the case had not yet been proven. That Trump's vanity blocked him from acknowledging embarrassing facts. Or—more hopefully—that he was inspired by some Kissingerian grand design for a diplomatic breakthrough. Or that he was lazy. Or stubborn. Or uninformed. Or something, anything, other than ... complicit. Not anymore.

As yet, it remains unproven whether Trump himself was personally complicit in Putin's attack on U.S. democracy as it happened during last year's presidential campaign. What is becoming ever-more undeniable is Trump's complicity in the attack after the fact—and his willingness to smash the intelligence and counter-intelligence agencies in order to protect Putin, Russia, and evidently himself. Consider what the president said to reporters on Saturday: "Then you hear it's 17 agencies [who agree that Russia meddled in the elections], whoa, it's three. And one is [former CIA Director John] Brennan, and one is whatever. I mean give me a break, they're political hacks. ... So you look at that and you have President Putin very strongly, vehemently says he had nothing to do with that."

A year after the 2016 election, the Trump administration has done nothing to harden U.S. election systems against future interference. It refuses to implement the sanctions voted by Congress to punish Russia for election meddling. The president fired the director of the FBI, confessedly to halt an investigation into Russia's actions—and his allies in Congress and the media malign the special counsel appointed to continue the investigation.

These are not the actions of an innocent man, however vain, stubborn, or uniformed.

"Beyond a reasonable doubt" is the standard for criminal justice. It's not the standard for counter-intelligence determinations. The preponderance of the evidence ever-more clearly indicates: In ways we cannot yet fully reckon—but can no longer safely deny—the man in the Oval Office has a guilty connection to the Russian government. That connection would bar him from literally any other job in national security except that of head of the executive branch and commander- in-chief of the armed forces of the United States.

At any time, this situation would be dire and ominous. It's graver still at a time when this president seems determined to lead the United States into a preventive war in the Korean peninsula. President Trump may soon demand that this country incur terrible risks and accept heavy sacrifices—even as he leaves Americans in darkening doubt over whose interests he is serving, and why.

All in bold?

All in bold?

That's the only way Trump 'thinks'.

"Take the Bible: Zechariah and Elizabeth, for instance," Zeigler said. "Zechariah was extremely old to marry Elizabeth and they became the parents of John the Baptist. Also take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus. There's just nothing immoral or illegal here. Maybe just a little bit unusual."

My Bible must be defective because I do not recall the age of Joseph, Mary, or Zecharia ever being stated. And it was Elizabeth who was extremely old, which is why it was a miracle that John was born to her. Tradition states that Joseph was old and that is all. Well ok it might be out there in some para-biblical text I am unfamiliar with. Mary says she is a virgin so it is assumed she is young, but exactly what age is never said.

Edit: ok it does say Zecharia was very old as well but it explicitly says both he and Elizabeth were very old. Felt like I should double check myself there

Well it is fiction, so you can mold it to fit your needs.

It's part of the Expanded Universe Bible.
