No evidence, but such people are said to exist, or at least used to exist, in the White House. One has to believe there are a few people there, as anywhere else, who have a soul or some moral core however miniscule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron, IMO, Kellyanne Conway has been Trump's chief enabler during the past four years-- mirroring and "admiring" his nonsense, and working overtime to promote his "alternate facts" about almost everything. If she had disagreed with his opinions or tried to "keep Trump under control" she would have been dismissed long ago-- like Tillerson, McMaster, Mattis, Kelly, et.al. From what I have observed, Kellyanne Conway has the "soul and moral core" of an iguana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conway is part of the second generation of South Jersey mafia (using lowercase M with advised uncertainty) that Trump worked with on his Atlantic City casinos foray. The set includes Don McGahn, who left a lot earlier. Sidelined for some time now, Conway apparently senses the need to start a job hunt before January.

How can these millions of evangelicals see these truly immoral, even perverted and completely hypocritical scandals over and over and over again involving their leaders and not see their whole organization is corrupted like this? And how they are constantly being played like dupes into sending these so called spiritual leaders their money ( for years ) and even doing their bidding in voting for whomever they tell them to vote for ( always Republicans and of course Trump ) who is as amoral sexually as their leaders are? It's like these millions of blind followers like being duped and used year after year after year by their corrupted leaders. Isn't it a mental illness to allow oneself to continue to be used and controlled like this? Jim and Tammie Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert, Ted Haggard, etc., etc..

Steve Thomas Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I, myself, can't wait to hear The Honorable Ivanka Trump. Her two brothers didn't get to be Honorables. "Here’s a complete list of Republican National Convention speakers https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/rnc-2020/article245175815.html Thursday: President Donald J. Trump; The Honorable Ben Carson; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY); Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR); House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23); Representative Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02); The Honorable Ivanka Trump; ..." Sounds like a petty good gig. How do you get in on that action? Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez... It looks like the Falwells have really been putting the "GEL" in Evangelical. 🤥 I don't know much about Jerry Falwell, Jr., but I thought it was bizarre when he brandished a gun on the podium and ranted about the Second Amendment during Trump's campaign appearance at Liberty University in 2016.

Blind Faith. Sorry I so often think in musical terms, not to distract hopefully but maybe occasionally attract. Sometimes they say things better than I can, this one's mainly just a great classic listen. Though we are approaching a crossroads in History. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=blind+faith+crossroads&docid=608034921008137451&mid=5E6F25B2CFE72812FE795E6F25B2CFE72812FE79&view=detail&FORM=VIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
