Here's another:As is well known, USAID was not solely devoted to humanitarian aid but to economic and political development as well. It did not initiate programs but funded them at the request of the countries involved. BTW, the two examples you cited are flat-out lies.
Thank you. I really mean that. Your's is perhaps the best argument I've come across here about keeping USAID. It doesn't deny that funds were misspent, only that it also did good as well.Ever hear the term throwing out the baby with the bath water?
LOL! My old parish used Franzia chillable Red for Communion. I know others use bottle of red wine, some even use white.I guess its best if people taking communion aren't thinking about wow this is a great pinot noir or whatever.
I was at an Evangelical church once and got flat strawberry Fanta and stale arrowroot biscuits. But their hearts were in the right place.LOL! My old parish used Franzia chillable Red for Communion. I know others use bottle of red wine, some even use white.
I actually drink that sometimes.
Wow! That's quite interesting, to say the least. I know some use grape juice, but most liturgical Churches do not.I was at an Evangelical church once and got flat strawberry Fanta and stale arrowroot biscuits. But their hearts were in the right place.

Bingo:And? A barber could have come up with it cutting the football coach's hair and it would still be funny.
My guess is that you're not a White Evangelical Christian, otherwise you'd know that as a "voting block," it's about as unified as a church business meeting. It's more of the Democrats saying "We don't want you," and voters taking them at their word.
The amazing thing is that an average person can say that they hope they've done enough good things to get to Heaven and people think nothing of it. Trump says pretty much the same thing, and people think there's a political ulterior motive.
Muscat seems popular in these parts.I guess its best if people taking communion aren't thinking about wow this is a great pinot noir or whatever.
Were they trying to test God?I was at an Evangelical church once and got flat strawberry Fanta and stale arrowroot biscuits. But their hearts were in the right place.
“Soft-power” is a waste of money if you have the strongest military.As is well known, USAID was not solely devoted to humanitarian aid but to economic and political development as well. It did not initiate programs but funded them at the request of the countries involved. BTW, the two examples you cited are flat-out lies.
The church-discussions that led to “Fanta”, must have been entertaining.I was at an Evangelical church once and got flat strawberry Fanta and stale arrowroot biscuits.
This is why the Democratic Party has lost two out of three elections to President Trump. Since his entry into U.S. politics, Democrats have frequently questioned his intellect, yet they have been defeated twice. Whether one agrees with President Trump or not, or believes his political strategy is beneficial or detrimental to America, it is necessary to acknowledge that his political skills are unmatched by any politician in the past fifty years. However, Democrats often struggle to accept this reality. Remarks such as “he doesn’t know anything” or “he never read anything” are common from Democratic critics. If President Trump lacks knowledge as they claim, it raises questions about their own skills or knowledge given these electoral outcomes.
What Trump stated isn't the Christian belief on Salvation. That's the story. There's no reason to think that Trump doesn't believe what he says he believes. It fits with his demonstrated unfamiliarity with the bible. It's a belief no different from the average American non-Christian's, and just as wrong.Politics was the motivation; for Trump and the leaders of that religious voting block.
Not even that complex. The American electorate got tired of lip service and no change. That was essentially what I heard from a Trump supporter in 2016. It was "We've tried everything else."An alternative hypothesis: Trump's politics skills (such as they are) don't exist in a vacuum: context is everything. The American electorate, worn down by decades of neoliberal technical managerialism, lost faith in major social institutions after the 2008 financial crisis, which made them vulnerable to demagogues.
