The best weapon is one that does not know its being used.

The Bible clearly tells us we are to hate. Hate evil. Not love it. Donald is stomping all over their sacred cows and doing it in a way that double confuses them. Hooray!
This man is a liar and an adulterer and you want to use the Bible to support him? You seem to want to see the mote in the opponent's eyes when there is a beam in yours.

God is sovereign,..... He will use a "liar and adulterer" to demolish liars and adulterers for the sake of his people living in the land. God used Nebuchadnezzar ... God used Cyrus the Great. Problem with too many Christians is that they only know so much Bible to make them feel self righteous, but will refuse to go on in learning to see what would cause them to become humbled.

God was using Samson.. and even filled him with the Holy Spirit to destroy the Philistines, even though? Samson was an adulterer and quite proud....

God is sovereign. He saves us in spite of ourselves. If only ten righteous were found in Sodom He would have spared it.

No confrontations. Anyone caught yelling and confrontational will be forced to breathe in the helium from helium filled balloons and only allowed to utter a word afterwards, and made to dance with Matt all around the world to spread love and peace, where only laughing and joy will be allowed, and of course, dancing.

I am quite happy that the left in general in America, including the MSM of course, are walking themselves into a position against Russia that they will find it difficult to walk back from.
The moral equivalence argument vis-à-vis Russia and America was old long before Trump took it up. Russia is not a force for good in this world, and has not been for a long time. Even if the Cold War is over, Russia only plays the part of disrupting the order of the world, even when they have nothing to replace the existing order with.
In a world where increasing numbers of millennials even express admiration for Stalin, it is good that the MSM be put in a position to recognize that Putin's Russia is cut from the same cloth as its totalitarian predecessor, the USSR. It is still the bad guy in its oppressive wars against the countries on its fringes, and not America.
Russia is not to be trusted.
By taking a stance against Trumps moral equivalence argument, they are taking a stance against the left's apologetics on Russian and Soviet history for generations now.
It is a message that is long overdue.

God can use anyone/anything to further his purposes including Satan. That doesn't make Satan or lying or adultery "good". From what I recall Nebuchadnezzar wasn't a liar. The Jews has great favor with Cyrus whom allowed the Jews to rebuild the temple. Maybe you should take some of your own advice.

And not only did God allow Samson to be blinded but took his power away from him and eventually he lost his life. His pride and disobedience to God resulted in death. There are consequences to sin, and both lying (which Trump does an inordinate amount of time) and adultery are sinful acts. Pride is another one you can add to the list. The man is extremely prideful.

True and God couldn't even find 10.

John Bolton's views on Russia:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...on-called-russian-meddling-act-war/471079002/

https://www.russiamatters.org/analysis/team-trump-russia-john-boltons-views

https://www.verdict.co.uk/john-bolton-quotes/
On wanting to go to war with Russia –
"We need to create structures of deterrence in cyberspace, as we did with nuclear weapons, to prevent future Russian attacks or attacks by others who threaten our interests. This effort should not be proportional to what we have just experienced. It should be decidedly disproportionate.

The lesson we want Russia (or anyone else) to learn is that the costs to them from future cyberattacks against the United States will be so high that they will simply consign all their cyberwarfare plans to their computer memories to gather electronic dust."

Point? In spite of all the bad points you keep concentrating on? God used them. You are not going to get the leader you will be happy with until after Christ returns. No man is that good. None. Not in a leadership position of world powers.

God used Herod to bless the Jews in Israel in many great ways. Yet? The Jews always bucked against him. That is why Herod had turned into the monster like he had towards the Jews the end of his life. Herod spent millions of his own money to benefit the Jews in disaster, and they only spit on his name...

Human nature is not a good thing. Self righteousness is its shield.

God is using Donald Trump to reverse many of the behind the scenes attempts by the deep state that have been gaining inroads for many years now... Because? Naive, well intentioned "good folks" had no a clue as to what Donald Trump is now facing. Its Donald Trump who is facing (and risking his life) the fake news media and the deep state which had plans to bring down the United States without firing a shot.

And, they are being somewhat effective in working against him when naive "decent people" haven't a clue as to what our real priorities should be in our predicament. You would have absolutely hated General Patton if the media did to him what its now doing to President Trump. You would have despised him. Yet, he was used of God to save America in WWll.

Wake up and smell the liars that use the lies of others to cover for their own.

Herod helped the Jews (even though he probably was Jew)? He certainly didn't help Jesus and removed John the Baptist head from him. It was the other Herod who had all the Jewish babies killed in search of the Jewish Messiah. Just because may find around certain evils that men do doesn't mean it's ok for them to do it. Lies and adultery are still not ok for men to do, at least in Christian circles, at least according to the Bible.

"Deep State", another Trump/Foxnews fabrication. If anyone is a deep state it's Trump and his powerful allies outside the government.

General Patton was a great general so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I believe he wanted to go into Russia but we didn't allow him. I think the ones who have clue as to what Trumps priorities really are. No one does anything (good or bad) without God's permission. Excerpt from the movie but true.
This was long before Russia had the nuke capability that they have today.

Other names that have been used for the deep state are the establishment', 'old boys club', military industrial complex', pork barrel politics', and influence peddling'. The swamp by any other name smells as putrid.

It is well summed up by the song line that goes like this:
..They sentenced us to twenty years of boredom, for tying to change the system from within. ...

When the radicals of the sixties received their pardons and their eventual releases, they gravitated toward the bureaucracy, and toward the field of education too.
They always presumed that their patience in the boring task of working the revolution through the bureaucracy would be inevitably rewarded through progression to the goal of socialist Valhalla.
Instead they got Trump, and that has them squealing like stuck pigs.

At least my "baloney" is edible. What you just said would cause Coprophagia.

https://themoscowproject.org/collusion/sources-steele-dossier-funding-revealed/
"On October 24, 2017, it was reported that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid Fusion GPS for opposition research that included the Steele Dossier. This work was facilitated by the law firm Perkins Coie, and the firm stated that the campaign and the DNC were not aware that the research was being conducted by Fusion GPS. It was later reported on October 27, 2017 that Fusion GPS was initially hired to do opposition research on Republican presidential candidates by the conservative website The Washington Free Beacon. The Free Beacon has stated that the work provided to them by Fusion GPS did not contain the information in the Steele Dossier, indicating that Steele was hired by Fusion GPS once the Clinton campaign and the DNC had begun funding the work."

http://dailycaller.com/2018/07/19/the-view-gop-funded-dossier/
"Sunny Hostin insisted that the dossier was “paid for by Republicans first,” to which Pirro replied, “No … it was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton.”

“Paid for by Republicans first,” Hostin repeated with agreement from Whoopi Goldberg.

“I wonder what Republican that was, do you know?” Pirro said sarcastically about the false claim.

“It has been confirmed actually it was a donor to one of his primary opponents,” CNN contributor Ana Navarro replied smugly.

Several journalists have claimed that Republicans first funded the dossier, but really a GOP donor paid for standard opposition research on Trump well before Fusion GPS contracted with Christopher Steele to create the dossier.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...disingenuous-nonsense/?utm_term=.6762622011fa
"At this point we have to emphasize that we already knew that Steele’s work was funded by Democrats. Or more precisely, at first the project was funded by Republicans, and then when Trump became the nominee it was picked up by Democrats. David Corn of Mother Jones first reported on it in October 2016:

This was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. (Before the former spy was retained, the project’s financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.)"

It's hard to know for sure what's the truth these days however my father always told me that "there's two sides to every coin".

"All of the women on 'The Apprentice' flirted with me -- consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected."
I'm waiting for the day he just comes out and says "I will be like the Most High"
