    Well... To post something politically incorrect... And whatever happened to the idea of winning an election because you have the more ideal solution to the issues?

    That isn't even the funny part. Trump will appeal and this will go nowhere. The funny part will be another election plandemic and watching the same socially engineered captives doing whatsoever Satan's boobtube tells them to do. Break out those bacteria infested masks and roll up your sleeves again captives. It is coming and you can take that to the bank but you may want to do that before the banks bail-in and reset to digital.

    Because the many have allowed the few to do evil, the many will reap what the few have sown. Oh and by the way, look around, while they aggrandize these mock prosecutions to distract you, they are taking peace from the earth.

    The felon that you know is better than the felons that you don’t know.

    The OP is just a troll (he posts across forums on political issues to create disruption....doesn't engage).

    But it is a good topic.

    I will not vote. But I can see how the Dems used the justice system as a political weapon.

    And it looks like it backfired as too many Dems recognize it.

    I live in a Blue area (a Red state but blue area).

    I am not sayingvthis is good, but I have seen far too many Democrats identifying with Trump because they view him as a victim of an injustice political system.

    Between Trump or Biden, I'd take neither.

    I live in Western Virginia. In dividing the state...

    Red Area - Republican West of Appomattox County (Including Lynchburg)
    Blue Area - Democrat East of Appomattox County

    The western counties of Virginia will report their results first. Just when it looks like a Republican sweep the eastern part of the state will report. It is important that we get out and vote. I must say here also that even though I am Pentecostal Holiness we send most of our young people to Liberty University. I also helped a niece get her bachelors degree there. I find little difference in Pentecostal Holiness and Baptist here.

    Here is the last presidential election in which Biden won the state of Virginia even though it was red by county.

    Sane here. I actually live in SC, but the metro is mostly in GA and is blue. The larger cities seem to be blue while the smaller ones have people with better sense.

    The main concern behind Liberty University type churches (whatever the denomination) are the liberal issues of the day and it is brought up often behind the pulpit.

    Sometimes. I graduates from Liberty Theological Seminary (and Liberty University before that). It was very.....I mean VERY
    ..conservative.

    I do not think that one can narrow down a church to a "Liberty University" type.

    I now attend a SBC church. They are also conservative, and they don't use the pulpit for political purposes.

    Now, they might address liberal issues happening in our community (like transgenderism, divorce, etc.) to address the sin. But not in a secular way.

    The dividing line - LGBT-friendly

    Red churches - LGBT friendly -Definitely not the "Liberty University" type.
    Blue churches - Not LGBT-friendly

    Here is a local Presbyterian church that is definitely what I would call a red church in which they identity as, "We are a progressive, inclusive community. You are welcome here." - Blacksburg Presbyterian Church which is a polite way of calling themselves a LGBT friendly church.

    That is certainly a dividing line.

    But don't you have the red and blue backwards? (or do I)

    I think we have to look at the "friendly" part. If we mean loving these people and sharing the gospel then we need to be friendly.

    BUT we should never accept sin into our congregations.

    I like how Paul puts it - "as WERE some of you".

    I may have the red and blue backwards. Main point is that we are basically fundamentalist and decent. We won't drive away those who may be what we consider sexually confused. But... If salvation, church participation (singing in the choir for example) or church membership comes up then the issues of decency and fundamentalism will definitely be discussed. Probably in a private meeting with the pastor or something like that.

    23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
    24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. - Jeremiah 9

    I believe the Lord looks down with great delight when such issues are discussed wisely. In which we will then depend on the wise communication skills that were taught at the Liberty University (or whatever bible college).

    America is now a banana republic with two widely divergent standards of justice, depending on whether you are a Republican or a democrat.

    President Trump did not do anything illegal. The verdict will not stand in an appeals court, unless it is a democrat judge.

    A felon is a far better choice to a murderer.

    John 8:44

    Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of success.
