Re: What are you offended by right now?

I am offended by all this politicizing of President Trump's every move. Every single thing that the man does is scrutinized through some political lens.

The man is our Blessed Leader. We know that God, Himself sets those in authority over us.

Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

So if God has ordained Trump's presidency, how can people insist that Trump is "just playing politics" when he makes decisions and signs executive orders that express his will?

It makes me so angry to read about things that Trump is doing being described as "political" when the simple fact is that what he is doing is governing. It is the people who oppose him who are doing all the political maneuvering.

Agreed. Also, we need to contrast Obama with Trump here. When Obama was issuing executive orders, that was an example of authoritarianism, dismissing the role of congress, and ignoring the will of the people. When Trump is issuing executive orders, that's the opposite of what Obama did.

Contrasting Trump against Obama is so very easy to do, n'est-ce pas?


One example that comes to mind is that Obama is left-handed. That right* there is an offense to God and therefore, an offense to me.




*Does anyone ever say "that left there"?

I think the phrase we're all looking for here is "public interest." When Obama issued an executive order he was helping himself. When our wonderful President Trump issues and executive order it is in the public interest.

When, for example, Trump ordered the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to zero, it had nothing to do with the mortgages on Trump Hotels, Inc. He did it because he does not like bankers. No one likes bankers. That is what political scientists call the public interest.

Yes. This is why Fox News and the Conservative collective criticized him roundly.

Exactly. Trump does nothing to enrich himself. He gives and gives and gives to the most vulnerable of American people--White, working Americans.

Sporks. Sporks offend me because the spork is the devil's utensil. It is the amalgamation of the masculine fork and the feminine spoon and is trying to blur gender lines in society.

I'm offended by the Democratic Convention. I don't like to see people on my TV screen that are not glamorous. Ordinary run of the mill "citizens" and working stiffs are usually overweight and the men bald.

So much better was Trumps family appearances in 2016. Blonde and glamorous is always better.

Amen, dear Brother Mayor Hold! I was thinking much the same thing when I was watching the circus last night (and trying to stay awake from the never-ending boredom). Why, have you ever seen so many "couch potato" people, and all doing nothing other than sitting around and watching their television sets to see that silly Julia Doofus woman? One thing is for sure: we can take heart, knowing that their little side-show will have no effect -- none whatsoever!

Our glorious -blessed and -led President Trump shall prevail, and he will be with us for at least four more years, thanks to the . What we've seen these past four nights is nothing, compared to the professional pizazz from our beloved Republican Convention of 2016!

Amen, Sister, Amen!

There are some great news about the upcoming Republican Convention:

The theme of the upcoming 2020 GOP convention will be “Honoring the Great American Story” and will highlight America’s “greatness, opportunity and President Donald Trump’s bold leadership,” Fox News has learned.

Oh yes! With Donald Trump, we truly have become Number One, especially when it comes to the Kung Flu virus! It may have originated as the China virus, but now it has became a virus! President Trump boldly took us where no other president did, giving the opportunity for other countries to became world leaders.

I impatiently await the Republican Convention. The Democratic convention was all about touchy feelings, inclusion, love, supporting each other, eww! We need a Strong Leader who will shove the military boots into protesters' throats, none of that hippie peace and love crap!

Re: What are you offended by right now?

In case anyone is in need of something to be offended by right now--hardly necessary with people opposing Our Dear President with such intractable vehemence-- "God" has a Twitter account now.

This is the sort of thing to break the knots on the most costly string of pearls. The idea that Almighty God needed to wait until mankind invented social media platforms before He could communicate His Will with His creation is ridiculous.

And the thought that the Author and Finisher of our Faith, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, would stoop to thumbing away on a phone during these dark and difficult times is insulting.


To make matters worse, it looks as though they have stolen one of our Esteemed Brother Bathfire's photos!


Just look at this nonsense!





This is just the sort of thing that Donald Trump warned us about when he said that Joe Biden would hurt God. I have not doubt that this sort of thing just breaks His Heart. I, for one, look forward to some serious smiting. And if it doesn't happen soon, I will take it as a sign that The Lord wants us to take an active hand in dealing with such blasphemy.

Everything the Demoncrats do to shake our faith in Him turns to dust. I found another example from April 2019, which reads:

You should not vaccinate your children unless you are absolutely sure you want them to live.

Now would God - who was Himself a Father and understands the trials of parenthood - send out a mixed message like that?

Re: What are you offended by right now?

This is what I'm angry about today. The Trump people had a great idea. Put out the word that everyone with a boat meet at a lake in Texas and put on a show. There would be a lake full of Trump banners--a terrific photograph.

But, sick liberals had to put their mark on the event. They sunk several of the boats. So, today the story is about boats sinking, not the great photographs that resulted.

And, who is investigating the sinking of boats? No one, that's who. Every boat that sank has evidence, who drilled the hole, when did they do it? Let's find out and expose the criminals.

Re: What are you offended by right now?

I am offended at hearing rumors that people are saying that Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfred* are racist against white women. It seems to me that these two powerful women would be racist against orientals and messicans as well.

M.O. = W.O. upside down. Is there some significance to this?

Why is the BBC still talking about Brexit negotiations? Didn't that happen, like, three years ago? And now they're backing out of agreements already made?

Re: What are you offended by right now?

I found some highly offensive material on Lars' laptop. Though I strive to maintain his memory, thinking of him in the bosom of Christ, I learned some things I can't un-see. It seems Lars really liked fat chicks.

Chicken, duck, turkey, or other bird?

In general, fat chicks tend to grow into large fat birds, which means more food for the dinner table.
