What are we to make of this?




Do they not realize that they're making Jesus out to be a liar?

"He that loveth Me not, keepeth not My sayings. And the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Fathers who sent Me."

I support all criminal investigations which would include legitimate investigations into Musk's businesses if incriminating evidence arises that needs to be investigated, but I still want Trump's appointees to unearth every government dime that found its corrupt way into leftist liberal and liberal organization bank accounts both at home and abroad.
Okay. If you're in favor of legitimate investigations into Musk's businesses if incriminating evidence arises that needs to be investigated, then you must be in favor of letting federal investigators stay on the job to do the work of looking for incriminating evidence.
Marke: I am in favor of allowing honest and competent investigators remaining on the job after all the incompetent, corrupt, and biased leftists are fired.

So you've already made up your mind that those you consider "leftists" must be incompetent, corrupt and biased.

Don't you see how your emotions are being manipulated? You've been conditioned to have kneejerk reactions to buzzwords instead of thinking and evaluating for yourself.

The untested socialism experiment in the early church failed and was never intended to be a blueprint for national governments.
So in other words, the early Christians didn't keep it up so it must be okay to dump it?

Marke: Investigators who searched for evidence of Trump's possible involvement in the transfer of DNC emails to Wikileaks who did not look into the Seth Rich murder were either dishonest, corrupt, or incompetent.

Marke: I would reject Marxism of any kind due to the fact that it has never benefitted any society or nation anywhere at any time.

You have this right. Socialism has only succeeded in the context of religious communities. And only then as long as the community remained faithful to their faith. It's the Christian way, as His first followers lived it. Since then we've rarely lived up to it. But there have been exceptions.

Socialism in the sense of the state owning everything, has never worked.

At some point, you need to come to terms with the reality. Even Trump's own people acknowledged the fact that the Russian government did everything possible to help Trump, and there was collusion with the Trump campaign.

Marke: In spite of all the talk and testimony of conflicting witnesses, I remain convinced of the fact that since Mueller never found who was responsible for the theft of the DNC emails and since the Crowdstrike investigator told Congress they never found any evidence that the emails were removed by anyone other than someone inside the DNC offices in the US, I do not believe Trump had anything to do with the transfer of DNC emails to Wikileaks.

And therein lies the problem. If you feel the need to ignore evidence, that's a pretty good tip in itself, isn't it?
