Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,
Most Americans don’t realize it yet, but in just a few weeks we will witness one of the most critical moments in American history.
Right now the Democrats in the House of Representatives are drafting articles of impeachment, and it is expected that there will be a vote by the end of this year. If President Trump is impeached by the House, that will set off a chain of events that nobody is going to be able to control, and if the U.S. Senate ultimately decides to remove Trump from office, all hell will break loose in America.
There are tens of millions of very loyal Trump supporters in this country, and many of them are extremely passionate. Simply impeaching Trump would represent a “breaking point” for many of them, and if Trump is actually removed from office by a Republican-controlled Senate it is inevitable that we would see a very frightening explosion of righteous anger, and at that point there wouldn’t be much of anything that could be done to calm them down. A large percentage of the population would instantly lose all the faith they ever had in our political system, and unfortunately there would be widespread civil unrest in the streets.
In addition, the impeachment of a U.S. president would unleash havoc on Wall Street. Trump has warned that the stock market would crash, and it is likely that he is quite correct about that. Of course the U.S. economy is already steamrolling toward a recession, and so instability on Wall Street would only escalate our economic problems. It is not hard to imagine the U.S. economy plunging into a deep recession or possibly even a full-blown depression pretty rapidly after Trump is removed from office. And with utter political chaos reigning in Washington, it would be difficult to convince anyone that things would turn around any time soon.
If the Democrats could have just been patient enough to get to November 2020, they would have had the opportunity to vote Trump out legally.
But they didn’t want to do that, and now we are headed down a road that is going to tear this country apart.
What do you think the left is going to do if Trump is not removed from office and then he goes on to win again in 2020?
Needless to say, it would be a temper tantrum unlike anything we have ever seen before in American history.
On the other hand, how do you think Trump supporters will react if Trump is illegally impeached and removed from office before we even get to the election?
We truly are in unprecedented territory, and it is very difficult to see how this story is going to end well.
This is a can of worms that never should have been opened, but there is no going back now. According to NBC News, the impeachment inquiry is rapidly moving forward, and Democrats plan to focus their impeachment case on Trump’s “abuse of power”…
House Democrats are zeroing in on a framework for their impeachment case against President Donald Trump that will center on a simple “abuse of power” narrative involving the president’s actions regarding Ukraine, according to multiple people familiar with the deliberations.
As Democrats continue closed-door depositions with critical witnesses and prepare to move to the next phase of public hearings, they are wrestling over which elements and evidence to bring in, which to leave out. The goal is to explain to the public the reasoning and relevance of any eventual impeachment charges.
But can a president actually be impeached for an “abuse of power” that does not involve the breaking of any specific laws?
As a former lawyer that has studied constitutional law, I would definitely consider that to be unconstitutional. And removing a president using this sort of a pretense would set an extremely dangerous precedent.
Unfortunately, right now the momentum is on the side of the pro-impeachment forces. On Friday, yet another prominent Republican came out in favor of impeachment…
Former Ohio Governor and 2016 Republican presidential candidate John Kasich said Friday he now supports impeaching President Donald Trump.
Kasich said it was White House acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney admitting there was a quid pro quo between the United States and Ukraine that “pushed me really across the Rubicon.”
Of course many could argue that John Kasich isn’t a real Republican at all, and they would be right.
And ultimately Kasich doesn’t really matter. What really matters is what the Republicans in the U.S. Senate think, because after the House votes to impeach they are going to decide Trump’s fate.
The Democrats only have 47 seats in the Senate, and it is going to take 67 votes to convict Trump, and so the math would seem to favor the president.
But there are only a few Republicans in the Senate that are truly loyal to Trump, and things could still go either way.
In the end, it is not comforting to realize that one of the key votes in the Senate is held by “Pierre Delecto”…
Mitt Romney has a secret Twitter account that he used to promote his failed 2012 campaign and now uses to engage with reporters and condemn political moves with which he disagrees.
It was revealed Sunday evening by Slate that the 72-year-old Utah senator goes by the name Pierre Delecto, with the handle @qaws9876, on his undercover Twitter account that he admittedly uses to act as a ‘lurker’ on the social media site.
As Delecto, Romney often used the “like” button to promote anti-Trump tweets…
If that’s not bad enough, Romney is using the “like” button on his Pierre Delecto account to file away those tweets that make Mitt Romney’s heart sing: tweets accusing Trump of swindling kids with cancer, about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, and attacking Newt Gingrich for impeaching Bill Clinton while cheating on his own wife.
Of course the Democrats are going to need more than just Mitt Romney to remove Trump from office, and without a doubt there are other Republicans in the Senate who do not like Trump at all.
In fact, GOP strategist Mike Murphy has argued that there are 30 Senate Republicans that would vote to convict Trump if the vote was held in secret.
But how many of them are willing to do it publicly?
We shall see.
In Washington, the elite like to have men and women in Congress that have been compromised in some manner, because it is so much easier to “persuade” them to vote a certain way when push comes to shove.
In the end, I don’t know if pro-impeachment forces will be able to get to 67 votes, but if I was President Trump I would definitely be sweating right now.

The democunts wouldnt have started this if they didnt already have the votes.
It isnt who casts the votes, but those who count them. Communism is our future. And it is bleak.
Four down votes, yet everyone seems to agree with my thought pattern, yet no one has addressed my conclusion in their comments.
You all are pointing out its to set us against each other, pointing out it will be an excuse to grab guns etc.
I presented the start point. There is a swamp. This is how it works. The grift is so enormous they will bring this nation down for the privalege of looting it. They have the votes. You’ll see.
There is something going on with the votes of late. Your comment didn’t deserve the down votes and especially from an article that hasn’t generated that many views.
Mygirl.
Iv’e noticed that also on seemingly harmless replies. Might be one of those bots gone haywire.
Every downvote I don’t like is a bot.
Pelosi may have felt she had to placate the Squad in order retain her speakership or, more likely, thought that his being impeached would hurt his chances at getting re-elected. She may also have thought that starting her “impeachment inquiry” might turn some of Trump’s base against him, allowing GOP senators to do what they want to do – get rid of the problematic bastard. In other words, she could give it a try and see how it worked. Trump’s base is sticking with him, though, and it’s not 1974 when the media controlled the narrative.
Well, I’ll stick with him, not because I think he’s the greatest, which I don’t, but because the alternative to Trump is too gruesome to contemplate.
trumpet is a low life scum criminal lying vindictive russian bot. He is looting america while worshiping the worlds dictators and kings. Send him back to russia
You cant fix blatent ignorance or stupidity, you sure can laugh at it.
No, they dont have the votes, even in the Demonrat caucus. If they did, they would have voted on Articles of Impeachment or an official inquiry already. This why they are doing ‘pretend impeachment’ (which isnt legal) and doing everything behind closed doors. It’s all an act to placate their insane, rabid base. The majority of Dems dont want this to come up for a vote, bc it will kill them in the election next year – – particularly the 20-30 D’s that are in districts mainly won by Trump! Real people are totally against this, despite what fake polls may say, and the scum know it.
Yeah, even if it made it to the Senate, it would die there.
I disagree with Apple, but it’s always good to imagine the worst-case scenario and prepare for it. I would never downvote that comment.
Either way, I’m not trying to get off topic with this discussion , but I certainly hope Communism is not our future. One of my concerns has to do with with a Bill or something of that nature that Nancy Pelosi if I understood correctly put into play in 2016 after the election. One that will become active for the next Presidential election. Myself not being very policalicaly educated, if someone may correct me if I’m wrong, but it had something to do with a President being forced to disclose their wealth, tax returns , along with other income sources and assets. If I’m anywhere close to this understanding , if in deed this is the case … it does sound agreeable but only yes only as long as the same guidelines are set forth and applied to the Senate along with the House of Representatives, The speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi especially , and any other high ranking government official with major powers involving decision making with in our government. Fair is fair and I’m sure most all these officials have skeletons tucked away in unseen places involving assets. Lets take a look at usage of government /the peoples resources used for high ranking government officials personal use not to mention many other forms of private benefits that go unclaimed and are neglected to become public information.
speaking of cunts.
If the process is not fair and open and if the evidence is sketchy or fabricated as it has been then I am afraid a real civil conflict could ensue. I think our ‘puppet masters’ know this and they are using this simply as a way to divide and conquer.
They need a civilian armed conflict. It will set the next stage of America as a gun free society as they focus on the atrocities committed by the citizens and never point out the govt issues. They want this bloody….
If a father is forced to allow his seven year old son to be made a girl, and all hell has not broken loose as a result, then I have to think there is NOTHING the US people will not tolerate. If they will tolerate that, they will tolerate anything.
Sheep to the slaughter comes to mind.
My thoughts exactly.
Its all a set up.
Llpoh is full of shit! I want to believe that. I really want to believe that but he’s not.
All over the world it has become the government against the people. Look at the Brexit in England, the Democrats trying to undo the election here in the US, Hong Kong, Spain, Chile, list goes on and on.
Faggots posing as women in track and field. It’s all going to end some day. I hope sooner than later.
Even the French have more balls than Americans and they aren’t armed.
They are statists. Statism is an obedience cult.
Right you are, LLPOH. Glad to see you shedding some light to the political discourse that has plumbed the depths of doltishness here. (There for a while, it seemed political science had been codified to red gud, blue bad.) He might be impeached but if they didn’t remove Clinton, they won’t remove Trump. Impeachment might one day become a rite of passage for a president just like the customary crisis early in a new administration’s tenure.
Trump has got a huge war chest. In a country where money talks and bullshit walks, the media will be slavering to get some of that campaign money, no way in hell will the media allow Trump to be convicted. Trump must run in order for the media to get paid.
Re: Clinton vs Trump impeachment. Only the Republican Party has turncoats like Romney, Sassehole and Murkowski who would joyfully break ranks in order demonstrate their independence and “honor”.
The article itself may be anticipatory set, the crash might be in the works to bring about martial law and dollar devaluation. It will conveniently be blamed, not on the elite but on the supporters of Clinton. A red hat might be your ticket to survival or it might not. Either way, the Clinton crowd will be blamed and they will pay for the sins of the banksters. As Pancho Villa once said, divide and conquer.
Looking beyond the horizon, martial law will remain in effect until the economy is drained of all detritus and only a few companies control everything. The fed will be the national bank with subsidiaries performing the local banking services. Any new president will be installed by the Electoral College. Dissent and criticism will be neutralized by the absence of media unless that media is strictly censored. Folks will be happier because the LGBTQ/Lib crowd will be suppressed. The plan for a new American Century is becoming clearer.
CoyDog..
I love it when you’re being yourself instead of the class clown.
BTW Sofie Vergara can’t hold a candle to Maritza Mendez.
I gotta mix it up a little so I don’t get bored with my own shit. Sometimes attack with a song link or a song parody, sometimes by switching sides, sometimes by attacking MyG, sometimes loving her or some other dame up. Sometimes I just say fuck it all. I got to keep the ball rolling, BB can’t do it all by himself. I hope I can convert you to Salvy girls one day.
Zuck is up there pushing his crypto plan. If anybody in congress is actually listening to him, it’s a sign that dollar replacement is in the works. It warms the cockles of your heart to know that Farcebook Big Brother will also be our banker, what could go wrong? Oh shit, locked out of my Farcebook crypto account for a snide comment I made on TBP!
EC.
I’m already converted to Latino girls. I was engaged to a girl from El Paso back when I had flaming red hair. My late wife was a 5′ Italian version of Maritza.
The videographer asks her if men like hardworking women like her, she says, no, they prefer the glamorous type with makeup and polished nails. My wife is more like this gal.
You, oh Great Flea, sir, are full of SHIT!
AOC.
What are you talking about. You saying I wasn’t married to a hot Italian? Or you saying I didn’t have red hair?
I think this is what got his dander up:
Sofie Vergara can’t hold a candle to Maritza Mendez.
EC..
She’s just average looking but has no personality. A Prog just can’t turn me on. Not even duct tape and a bag can pretty up a prog.
Flea, sir, listen to my father’s wise words after 32 years in the Army.
1. Go ugly early.
2. If she doesn’t meet your standards, lower your standards.
3. No chick is ugly with your dick in her mouth.
AOC.
My reputation for going ugly at closing time is legendary.
I didn’t marry til I was 54. 49 year old widows are not like young single girls.
You guys are disgusting, I’m embarrassed to call you friends. Please don’t talk to me in front of company.
#3 can lead to love, actually to obsession.
Neither. What EC said.
Iska: Those ‘republicans’ are republicans in name only aka: RINOS. I’ll be very surprised if a formal impeachment gets off the ground. The democrats are putting on a show, Nancy shakes her finger and huffs, Schumer follows, they are the actors in the play, a play that keeps their faces in the limelight (free publicity for the constituency) keeps the narrative going (orange man bad, vote dem)They haven’t taken a vote to see what numbers exist for impeachment, in fact all they’re doing is playing to the camera. They’re also stalling for time and hoping to create enough mud that the boobus will wonder if there’s any truth to the accusations because…where there’s smoke there must be fire and please, don’t look at the clowns running for office, just vote for them because power needs to be in our hands.
Sooooo, greed?
I upvoted you because I agree with you. Trump isn’t going anywhere. He will most likely be re-elected. This whole thing is a 3-ring circus designed to keep the base of each side happy. There is no better evidence than this:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gop-lawmakers-storm-secretive-impeachment-hearing-capitol-basement-demand-transparency
If canes were still in style like they were in 1860, I would expect someone to get beat with a cane soon.
On a side note, I’m wonder what is going on here? You seem to have made a whole bunch of friends. You are getting more upvotes than ever lately.
Unless Moochelle runs or Soetoro is on the frontrunner’s ticket, he will win. That’s a big IF though, because I just don’t see Soetoro keeping his hands out of politics. He wouldn’t have stayed in DC if he didn’t want to “dabble”.
Or maybe Soetoro is the next Secretary General of the UN. Who knows? I just think he has his hands in everything going on within the country right now and it doesn’t matter who’s elected because the losers will foment Bosnia.
The gay pimp with a limp can’t run for pres.
WTF are you talking about?
I didn’t say he’d run for POTUS. Strict constructionist response:
http://mentalfloss.com/article/82472/could-former-president-ever-become-vice-president
AOC.
I like to scan the headlines of liberal sites like msn and yahoo to get a feel for where they are going with a given topic. Earlier I saw yet another article covertly suggesting the Dems need to draft someone with a chance of winning due to the 3rd rates currently running. Also saw one suggesting they draft the staggering barfly from Little Rock.
You’re probably right, but now is not the time to be complacent. If any of us live in population centers, it’s time to agitate like the Left does.
Llpoh.
Exactly. Nobody wants to go first.
Llpoh, I was thinking the same thing. Everyone keeps predicting the Trump supporters will take to the streets. I don’t think so. They are law and order types. They will never take to the streets like the left will. But, I have been wrong before..
How can they be considered “law and order” types with an Attorney General who doesn’t enforce the law? Lori Loughlin and silly college admissions scandals aside. I mean REAL crimes.
AOC, I’m talking about the Trump base, not the Trump cabinet. You and I know they are not law and order but the blind base does not want to believe that. They don’t see the corruption because they don’t want to see it.
Gotcha, I misunderstood.
Look at it this way – he’s not losing a son, he’s gaining a daughter.
Agree. Mexican farmers drag dirty mayors through the street for violating campaign promises. Politicians in America fingerfuck little kids, loot the Treasury, murder hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian foreigners, surveil every written word, and Americans are captivated by the Masked Singer.
Dumbest population in human history.
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of values (probity). To assent to obvious lies is…in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
― Theodore Dalrymple
Successful impeachment of Trump will prove cc rider, vote harder, Mark Twain and George Carlin right.
Organizing a vocal and branded platform championing non voting would, if enough people buy in, delegitimize the whole rotten process. If (when I hope) Trump is sacked who will the Repos run? Is there anyone on that side of the scam that could attract any of the attention and support Trump has? K-sick? Delecto? Bend Over Sass? Please…
A long shot, I know but a palace coup coupled with a market crash and maybe even a dollar crisis? I just love a story with a happy ending.
Look on the bright side. For those who survive Bosnia 2, we could potentially increase the number of countries in the world by 5-6. I’d prefer 7 billion sovereign countries, but 5-6 more is a start.
Wow, when did those clowns become prophets? I thought Twain was a humorist and Carlin a comic.
ccrider, vote harder, 22 whatever, AOC et all, are the prophets, Twain and Carlin are dead.
clowns
Hey now, I resemble that remark.
If house impeachment means nothing and he can still be reelected nothing changes. If the senate impeaches and he cannot be reelected then there certainly will be those citizens willing to be the first to act and it will be and get bloody. I don’t think they realize these are not hoodlums burning the local 7/11. These types will be efficient and act accordingly. You may just start hearing about how certain prominent people, judges, politicians are dying in droves all over the nation and not by armed gunman in marches but covert means. I feel they are missing just how pissed people will be and their anger wont be seen it will be felt.
Personally if the senate impeaches I feel our govt is totally corrupted and will no longer abide by paying taxes or anything i will only assume my life is now under dictatorship and therefore stop feeding the beast. Even if that means quitting work and other actions. Senate would be the proverbial camelback breaking…..just sayin.
If someone is ‘impeached’ by the senate as well, that person is prohibited from holding any federal office, federal commission, federal appointment, federal court job or elected federal position for the rest of their lives.
If someone is ‘convicted’ by the senate.
The congress acts like a grand jury, the senate tries the case.
only psychos wish for such things
“A large percentage of the population would instantly lose all the faith they ever had in our political system, and unfortunately there would be widespread civil unrest in the streets.”
Could anybody write a more boring sentence? This is what happens when you write a doom article on downers.
Upvoted you for the film clip. Life imitating art; who would have believed it?
Stick around, PI, I’m smarter than I look.
So far, the demonic Dem Marxists only down to “16 or Fight.”
Give them a little time, though.
Nothing will change until the leftists are openly attacked and assassinated .
Said the leftist.

You’re doing it again with the long name. Why?
Stop persecuting Winnie, Donkey. There is no rule regarding length or girth.
The long name is fucking up my reading ability on my celly.
Winnie!!!!!! You bastard!!!!
hook the celly to the telly–
If Trump is impeached and removed, not a single damn thing will change in this country. Trump will be replaced by yet another puppet who bows to the same master. The people are too complacent, too divided, too apathetic, too drugged up, too entertained and too distracted to give a shit.
Agreed.
The next scheduled insult would be a female President.
with a homo VP
Just more of the Circus half of the Bread and Circuses. Meanwhile “They” are setting the stage for the last great wealth extraction before they throw us under the bus. We’ve been the best batch of good little USEFUL IDIOTS bullshit can buy. Thank you Ma’am I’ll have another please.

Maybe if all the ‘Chrisssssssstians’ get down on their knees at once and mumble a long praaaaaaayer–there won’t be an impeachment.
Maybe is all the ‘conserrrrrrrrvatives’ stand on street corners waving Amerikan flags and pump their hands in the air shouting, ‘Murica’ there won’t be an impeachment.
Maybe if all the ‘conserrrrrrrrvatives’ try to ‘chaaaaaaange’ the minds of all the leftists with more rational arguments and try to appear to be more ‘reaaaaaasonable’ and soft and warm–there won’t be an impeachment.
By golly, you’re an idiot….an iiiiiiiiiiiiidiot….by golly.
Big Red, don’t think I haven’t heard that before, I have sisters and I raised a daughter. It’s easy to get them groaning at cheap jokes.
He said ‘maybe’ 3 times. That invoked the Chantels.
Don’t say Beetlejuice 3 times.
Or Candyman.
EDIT: Ooooooops, 5 times.
Shinmen,
You really don’t have a clue…open the book dude.
Exodus 15:3: The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.
Ecclesiastes 3:8: A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Matthew 24:6: And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.
Jeremiah 51:20: “You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms;
Matthew 10:28: And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Zechariah 10:5: They shall be like mighty men in battle, trampling the foe in the mud of the streets; they shall fight because the Lord is with them, and they shall put to shame the riders on horses.
Psalm 144:1: Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;
Deuteronomy 20:4: For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’
Thump your bible on your own skull and see what good it does you and everyone else.
Your mind is trapped and you look at everything though a toilet paper tube.
When you get off your fucking knees, then I’ll respect you and other Christians.
No problem Shinmen…I’ll shake off the dust and keep my pearls.
But trust me, your respect is not sought or needed.
Matthew 7:6
Proverbs 23:9
Another bible-goof-ball, another ‘rapture-retard’ who will do nothing when the time comes, other than sing ‘El Shadai’ when being loaded into the trains clutching his ‘scripture book’ tightly.
In order to get you mind right, I would suggest you start reading the Hindu, Vedic texts which pre-date the ‘Chriiiiiiiistian’ bible by three thousand years.
Evangelical Christians are a big part of the problem in this country, because they are sooooo fucking gullible and can be easily led and fooled.
As a matter of fact–this has been a direct strategy of the RINO’s controlling the GOP for the last 30 years… and that is ‘mumble a lot of Jesus words’ during an election season, and when they get into office they piss down your back and claim it is raining.
Yet you dummies keep doubling down on stupid, year after year.
Just look at Bush II and his so-called ‘born again’ horse-shite. And then came Romney–separated from birth from Buzz Lightyear.
By capturing the goofy minds of the Christian, bible-thumping, rapture -retarded minds of the Evangelical Right, the globalist RINO’s have managed to maintain a strangle hold on conservative politics with their phony promises that are never, ever kept.
And in the future–you will again double down on stupid.
Here’s how the guy above spends his Sunday’s…
Sure looks like those texts “saved” those dipshits, don’t they? The curry and saffron rotted their brains and they elected an asshole who forced cashless society down the throats of an already impoverished population.
But yeah, you’re right. WTF was I thinking? I’ll go wading in a shit-filled creek to wash my clothes and whistle Mahabharata.
Evangelicals are as much followers of Christ as the spaghetti code slingers in Mughal Land, or the US Coastal atheists. Same with Twiggy and Mittens. Not a dime’s worth of difference between any of them.
And if YOU are still voting, YOU are the problem just as much as they are. Not the true Christians.
Show me one of those ‘true Christians’ please.
Oh, by the way, I have a bridge for sale as well.
There’re plenty of them, just not in Washington.
That bridge you have for sale: Would it be called “Voting”?
Haaaa…..are you kidding me Shiny, Hinduism is Satanic to its core, runnnnn….Shiny! It started only about 4000 years ago. The fact that Hinduism speaks of chakras is enough of a sign that it is occult or ‘Eastern paganism’, which says that because the human soul is a projection of Brahman, the individual is himself – God. You do know you’re not a God? Right?
Personally, I would have made it younger than that as about 4000 years ago marks the Noahic Flood, which was well before the Tower of Babel was constructed, and when God divided people by imposing a variety of languages upon them. (Evidently you picked up the seething blather mouth dialect.) The earliest documents showing Hinduism were written about 400 BC (the same time as Buddha added his silly potbellied unbelief to the world; it is no coincidence, but a concerted effort by Satan to destroy God’s authority). Many scholars think this was about 200 years after the Tower of Babel was built.
Thanks, but no thanks for the Hindu tip…but enjoy your Yoga!
And come on man, don’t take yourself so seriously, no one else reading your anti-Christian rants does…drink some decaf.
Actually Hindus believe in one god–but that he has many forms of manifestation… not that I follow any of it.
And you yourself could use some work on your ‘chakra’ possibly.
“not that I follow any of it”.
Look Shiny you’re the spittle spewing ranter that brought the Hindu crap up…CHAKA it up to your winning posting personality!
Oh yea, and put the CHAKA where the sun don’t shiny….in a ‘Christain’ sort of way…
shinmen,
you usually make good comments & post good info–
why all the piss & vinegar tonight?
Tampa,
He got his tidy whities in a bunch when he found out CHAKA Khan was a Christian and not a Buddhist.
tighty-whiteys
Not quite 3 minutes was all I could take of that.
Shiny,
There have been wolves in sheep clothing for a long, long time, and it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better on that front.
However, there is a Christ following remnant today, just as there always was. That is who Articles of Confederation is talking about. I could prove it with scripture, but I’m not giving you any more pearls.
I’ve posted for years against the Luciferian globalists of both parties, and the foolish Christians and others (recently) who confuse the Luciferian Zionist Globalists (of both parties – one Game of Throne Crime Family out of many) with most of the Jews, most of whom are just as lost and secular as you.
“I’m not giving you any more pearls.”
MM, I’m going to use that one when the opportunity arises, to subtly drop a clue to some ignorant swine that crosses my path in social circles, k?
That’s a beaut. Tanx, Hank.
Hank,
Once upon a time I was so mad at God I sounded just like Shinmen…for over 20 years. God is a God of endless chances. Hopefully one day Shiny will take a stroll down the Damascus road and the scales will fall off, and his heart will be changed. I prayed for him and Reality Doug after I read Reality’s post in the ‘America is in Moral Decline’ thread just above. Many times with angry Atheists I find some deep pain(s) from the past seething and festering inside them. That’s how it was with me.
This is more detailed of an answer:
What did Jesus mean when He said to not cast your pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6)?
“Do not cast your pearls before swine”.
Is a portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and, to understand its meaning, we have to understand its context and placement within the sermon.
Christ had just finished instructing the crowd on judgment and reproof: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Matthew 7:1–2), and “You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:5).
Then in verse 6, Christ tempers these admonitions and shows us the difference between “judgment” and “discernment.” We are not to be hypocritical judges, yet we must be able to discern the swine, lest we cast our pearls before them.
Before Jesus says, “Do not cast your pearls before swine,” He says, “Do not give dogs what is sacred.”
An analogy mentioning dogs is also used in Proverbs: “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly” (Proverbs 26:11). A dual reference to swine and dogs is also found in 2 Peter 2:22, “Of [false teachers] the proverbs are true: ‘A dog returns to its vomit,’ and, ‘A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.’”
In His sermon, Jesus uses dogs and pigs as representative of those who would ridicule, reject, and blaspheme the gospel once it is presented to them. We are not to expose the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have no other purpose than to trample it and return to their own evil ways.
Repeatedly sharing the gospel with someone who continually scoffs and ridicules Christ is like casting pearls before swine. We can identify such people through discernment, which is given in some measure to all Christians (1 Corinthians 2:15–16).
The command not to cast your pearls before swine does not mean we refrain from preaching the gospel. Jesus Himself ate with and taught sinners and tax collectors (Matthew 9:10). In essence, the instruction in Matthew 7:6 is the same that Jesus gave to His apostles when He said, “If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town” (Matthew 10:14).
We are to share the gospel, but, when it becomes apparent that the gospel is not welcome, we are to move on. We are responsible to share the good news; we are not responsible for people’s response to the good news.
Pigs don’t appreciate pearls, and some people don’t appreciate what Christ has done for them.
Our job is not to force conversions or cram the gospel down people’s throats; there’s no sense in preaching the value of pearls to swine. Jesus’ instruction to His apostles on how to handle rejection was to simply go elsewhere. There are other people who need to hear the gospel, and they are ready to hear it.
Your analysis goes deep, and I can appreciate it, besides agreeing with it. Obviously, you are well versed with The Good Book.
You and GCP conversing about Scripture topics would be intriguing, to me at least.
I was just appreciative of the simple sentence you originally used.
Tanks Hank used as a gratitude rhyme play, like:
-Just a lark, Mark
-What’s the deal, Neil?
-No prob, Rob.
-WTF, Chuck?
-Don’t be a prick, Nick.
-You da man, Dan…an so on.
Later, Gator.
We’re buds…Suds…
Suds….the details above are from a link somewhere I had found, can’t find the source. Thought it was right on.
GPC and I agree on everything but the timing of the Rapture, and he could well be right, I’m not dogmatic on that, just lean (hard) towards Pre Wrath not Pre Trib. Otherwise we are simpatico.
Amen!
Go Mark Go.
I’ll get off my knees if you atheists promise to stop killing and looting everything you’ve seen for the last 100 fucking years.
Actually, I think that even if he were to be successfuly impeached and removed, he could probably still run again for the upcoming election. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not know of any law that would prevent that.
It could happen and Trump would love it, WWE style politics.

Better yet, what’s to stop Trump from resigning now for whatever reason (with or without the provisions of the 25th Amendment) and then just running again in 2020?
No–wrong. He can no longer any type of federal office or elected federal position.
Nancy won’t hold a formal impeachment inquiry because then the Republicans would get to subpoena witnesses and cross question the Democrat witnesses. Nancy knows good and well that the Republicans will bring in witnesses to attest to the veracity of Spygate – the Shenanigans of Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey and the rest of the crooked bastards like Pelosi and Schiff. She can’t afford for that to happen.
You just nailed it.
Fortunately the DOJ and US Atty. Durham in particular will be dealing with Brennan, Clapper, etc.
40,000 thousand Marine Reservists have been called up…hmm…
And there is always this ace as the hole card.
U.S. CODE 2385. ADVOCATING OVERTHROW OF GOVERNMENT
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.
Precisely to all of the above… and President Trump has the power to do all of it, now.
In fact, if things got spicy–he could and should ‘call forth the militia of the several states,’ and believe me several million men and women armed to the teeth would suddenly be at his beck and call.
Yep…Civil War is coming. Been prepping for it for years.
Trump will not be removed from office if he simply attacks Iran and/or Russia. The MSM, congress, evangelicals, Zionists, neocons, Democrats, flag-waving Republicans, and many others will support him is he does that, which means there is no chance whatsoever that he will be impeached. Of course, I’m not sure that Trump is smart enough to figure that out, but he probably has at least one adviser who is smart enough to figure that out. If he is desperate to hang on to the presidency, then we will be at war with Iran and/or Russia if impeachment looks imminent.
picaresque, impeachment looks imminent in case you hadn’t noticed.

I probably should have said if a Senate trial is imminent. He might get impeached by the House, but if so we will be at war before the Senate trail begins.
Communists gotta communist and this batch isn’t any different than the ones in Russia around the turn of the last century or those in China mid last century. The current difference is… we are armed in large part… if we don’t let that slide through apathy or misplaced trust they can’t take over without at least a fight for it.
Can’t wait to see the whites of their eyes..

Quid-Pro-Quo is Business-As-Usual in Washington. Done every day. The Democrats are using it as an excuse. I believe that you are correct in assuming that the Democrats believe that they have the votes. They are not above blackmail, extortion and complete lying subversion to get what they want. The supposed vote is scheduled for Christmas eve, when most God loving people will be with family. The godless will be in Washington holding a secret vote.
the dem leadership knows that this will be a shit show & they want as few people as possible to see it,thus a xmas eve vote–
Meanwhile back at the ranch.
Cornell West is organizing Riots in every city every saturday until Trump is lynched. Hong Kong style riots, not pussy riots. Although it would be mostly pussies rioting.
See Breitbart News.
Meanwhile Kanye West is releasing a movie and album “Jesus is King”. Is the tide turning?
The Democrats started the last civil war. They lost it. Same could happen here, and now the Republicans are, mostly, far better armed that the pusillanimous cretins called Democrats.
you are quite wrong and trumpet really is a scumbag criminal
Feel good to be a doom-speaker? Or deep down do you feel as foolish as a pimple-faced 10th grader who’s just tripped over the head cheerleader’s book bag? Likely the latter. Your word execution alone places you in a less-than-educated light.
Well, Trump was impeached and the world did not burn to the ground. Once again another over the top response. So much emotion, so little common sense.
