It appears the publication has faced backlash over its courage both fromt he WH and other evangelicals. I hope it survives the ire of the Judases taking their coins from Trump and defending him, and get support from the silent minority of evangelicals who know and understand the moral imperative to stand against him: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...Tnp?li=BBnb7KzLast edited by Sour Masher; 12-21-2019, 08:19 PM.

Originally posted by Teenwolf View PostSupport for impeachment has fallen, so Pelosi is looking for a way to stop the Senate trial. Good strategy, if she sticks to it.
Gee, I wonder who could have predicted this disastrous result for the Democrats from pursuing impeachment...
"Public support for Donald Trump‘s removal from office is the highest it has ever been, according to a new poll. Fifty-five per cent of those asked said they were in favor of the US president’s conviction by the Senate, a figure which has shot up from 48 percent the week before. Meanwhile, the number of people against Mr Trump’s removal has dropped to an all-time low, according to the MSN poll.
On Christmas Day, 40 per cent were opposed to the Senate voting to convict the president, who has been impeached over his dealings with Ukraine and an alleged subsequent attempt to obstruct congress. The gap between the two views has become much wider since last week, when there was little to divide them (48 per cent in favor of Mr Trump's removal, 47 per cent against)."

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostI really don't understand these polls. Anyone have a theory for these fluctuations? What is different now? What was different when support fell? I just don't get it. He is the same man. They are the same charges. The facts have stayed the same.
Note that these poll fluctuations are at the margins, though. Most Americans have remained consistently aligned with their partisan preference throughout, but the margins are enough to meaningfully tilt the polls up or down.

Originally posted by B-Fly View PostNegative reaction to hyper-partisanship. The Democrats lost some support when they appeared to cherry pick witnesses to drive to a foregone conclusion on a party line vote in the House. Now the Republicans are losing some support for blatantly announcing that they will block witness testimony and fully coordinate with the White House to reach their foregone conclusion on a party line vote.

These days, being non-PC is to risk violence. Trump stands his ground and defies the bullies. A lot of people wish they had his stones.

Remember his philosophy, when you are a celebrity you can get away with anything (as referenced in the "grab 'em by the P" recorded conversation).
He doesn't believe there are consequences to his actions.
Why would it take stones to do anything in that case? There are no consequences, no risks.

But hey Jay, nice to see you're still you.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
