The "declassified"memo, written by a RepublicanTrump loyalist - complains about the FBI investigation. What else is new? Did they build up hype around a memo that proves nothing - then "release" it?
 
Some abstract imagination required as pre requisite ... thus UNth unk ... the uncle thingy!

I give up in a domain where folk don't like to process ... thought dissipates ...
 
Christians have not been leaders in stirring debate and thought about what is going on in the world. American leadership, thought supported by many Christians, has almost always been profoundly unChristian in its behaviour.
I really don't understand how Christians can sleepwalk through an economic and social system which is so destructive and evil.

Because, I feel, in a lot of cases including my own, we are simply too comfortable. So long as we have our Sunday morning worship and occasional potluck supper, we are content. I feel that Jesus is calling us to more than that, that he wants us to be world-changers, but we are reluctant to take risks for the Kingdom.
 
If you want to get completely discouraged about world changing, watch "Human Flow". The sheer volume of displaced people is overwhelming.

Now it is clear to all. The claims about how the "Nunes" memo would destroy "national security" were lies. Classification stickers are used by bureaucrats trying to obtain "political security" for their cronies. https://twitter.com/JulianAssange/status/959479324192706561 …

Does prov the point that perspective is dependant on where you're coming from ... as if you freedom to do everything is interfered with by some restrictions ... in young minds this can cause crushing collapse of what's missing ...

Something you really weren't kneading ... bread fore thought ... prescience?

Too bad voters have never given either of the Paul's a chance in the US.
God only knows what might have happened If Ron Paul had been POTUS.
Is it too late for the US and the true libertarians to be allowed to affect change - guess we will wait and find out.
The only POTUS canditate that I am interested in at this point is Adam Kokesh.
He will be locked out of the mainstream media so I will not hold my breath - but by all means -
if you do notice that Adam Kokesh will be on the Stephen Colbert show - share me the link.

There is a shortage of true libertarians in that country though. Too many there claim to follow Ayn Rand but still support social conservative policies that infringe individual freedom. They want libertarian policies for businesses but interventionist so-con policies (e.g. abortion restrictions) on other issues. Even Rand Paul is guilty of that to some degree, his father less so. Gary Johnson did make a valiant effort, though, and was really one of the saner candidates in 2016. I have developed a remarkable degree of support for libertarianism but still think there is a role for government intervention in some areas that they seem to think should be hands-off (protection of the environment, for instance).
 
Wow! I agree with a post by jae!

Again, Trump is not the issue. Almost all wars in history have been fought for material gain. And Christianity has been notable for embracing that. (Can you believe it? Our side is deliberately starving millions of civilians to death in Yemen. But I wonder how many sermons that didn't make that point last Sunday - or this Sunday.)

For the last several hundred years, capitalism has become the leading force for war. World War 1 was a war of capitalists against other capitalists. And, as should have been expected, it was followed by another war of capitalists against other capitalists. And we have been in wars ever since.

The world has towering problems to deal with. But it cannot deal with them so long as the capitalists on all sides are conscious of nothing but their own greed. And so long as capitalists hold the real power politically.

I could wish our clergy could make a real effort to see what values Christ was proposing.
