Jesus talked about people who saw the "beams" in the eyes of others while ignoring the "planks" in their own.

When we're talking about Republicans, I guess we'd have to say they criticize the "splinters" in the eyes of Democrats while ignoring the planks in the eyes of their own party leaders.

The irony of Democrats weaponizing that verse to judge and condemn Republicans and conservatives.

You mean they perceive the glaringly obvious truth and proclaim it loudly to those held in thrall by falsehoods.

That's exactly what Republicans and conservatives say when it comes to Democrats and liberals.

Obama does an exercise in the hypotheticals.

Curious if anyone has thoughts.

I remember the backlash over a tan suit.
Obama was a good president. But a bit milquetoast. Trump on the other hand is full of bravado, like Teddy Roosevelt. Or to give another (geeky) analogy, Obama is like Picard whereas Trump is like Kirk.

I don't remember backlash over Obama's tan suit, but I do recall there being outrage over Melania's shoes.

Nice use of milquetoast! I love that word.

I'm not sure he's THAT milquetoast though. HE WAS the president who snuffed out Obama. And more importantly, the Democrats chagrin, he used drones....A LOT.

When he spoke as a leader, he was a bit on the bland side; as he gave stats, relevant information etc. But when he's not doing that, he's got far more personality. I got no problem with a president who communicates like that.

If you are going to quote our Lord - can you please at the very least get the quote right.

We have elevated whataboutisms to former presidents whining?
Wow. Someone doesn't even know what the definition of "whining" is.


Oh. Does someone not like their hypocrisy being called out?

He points out the Constitutionally dubious actions of this adminstration and your response is "Quit your whining"?

Yes. The Right in America is DEFINITELY on board with law and order.

Obama taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago.
Trump needed to be instructed on the Constitution by Gold Star parents.

5 Stories the Media Buried of Gold Star Families Opposing Obama


From a mourning dad to Barack Hussein Obama:

“Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama,​
I am deeply saddened that you are the President of the United States. You sir are an embarrassment to the Oval Office. My son, as well as most Marines I know, despise you and your lack of representation for our military. Your ridiculous rules of engagement have caused the massive amount of casualties on your watch in Afghanistan. While we watch your media pander to your administration and clearly sweep things under the rug for you. I fully understand Marines die. You have tied their hands & feet! I am thankful I did not serve under a Comm. in Chief such as you. I am sickened that my son had to. I wonder… I doubt that you will see this, I hope you do though!​

Please.

You can get examples of this on both sides .


Just say you don't think the Constitutions is important when there is a popularity contest to have!

Do you have something regarding the topic of the thread? It would be a refreshing change.

You are welcome to offer some in rebuttal

Parents of Fallen SEAL Team Six Member Eviscerate the Obamas in this Brutal Open Letter


My offering was my only son — Aaron Carson Vaughn. Aaron was a member of SEAL Team VI. He was killed in action when a CH47D Chinook, carrying thirty Americans and eight Afghans was shot down in the Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan on Aug. 6, 2011.​
Many times over the past three years, I have been asked what drove my son to choose his particular career. What made him want to be a Navy SEAL? My answer is simple.​
Aaron Vaughn was a man who possessed the courage to acknowledge evil. And evil, once truly acknowledged, demands response. Perhaps this is why so few are willing to look it in the eye. It is much simpler — much safer — to look the other way.​
That is, unless you are the leader of the Free World.


Just say you don't think the Constitutions is important when there is a popularity contest to have!
No - that would be a lie

IS this your pocket comment when you drag something off topic, get responded to and then don't want to carry on your argument?

You were JUST complaining about ME being off topic from the thread.

Oh , how we like to forget everything.

I recall Americans labeling Bill Clinton a pervert and sex addict, calling George W. Bush a warmonger, and 25% of conservatives believing Obama was illegitimate because he was born in Kenya. 40% of Republicans thought President Biden didn't win the election, and now almost 90% of Democrats think American democracy is ending because President Trump will not leave office in 2029.

Well....."the stories"

, calling George W. Bush a warmonger,
No WMD....useless incursion; trillions on a lost war on terror.

yeah.
40% of Republicans thought President Biden didn't win the election,
Yes
and now almost 90% of Democrats think American democracy is ending because President Trump will not leave office in 2029.
Well he's made it pretty clear he is going to try to stay in power. He CERTAINLY hasn't said he plans to step down. I agree american democracy may not "End" from it, but it's democracy is pretty weak.

No it was a continuation - adding proof to what I stated in a previous post in response to another poster's comments - they made it on topic. Never said anything about you,
