Roman Republic/Western Empire thrived off slavery and conquest. Was destroyed by sexual immorality/hedonism because the birth rates for citizens (In charge of sustaining order, growth, and hegemonic identity) fell drastically while immigration (Non-citizens increased) which was like shooting fish in a barrel for “invaders” from the North/West.
Sexual immorality erodes civilizations which is historically worse than what you would have taken. BTW, over 40 million unborn were murdered in the womb based on sexual morality, think about that.
Not yet.
He is not a prophet, anyone could see how a nation that turns its back on Jesus Christ, goes into apostasy, and then is given up to foreigners. The pages of history are full of the same pattern. America is not eternal. Quit acting like it is.
How about getting back to basics: Bible believing churches. Invite someone to church. Take someone to church. Work on getting rid of sin in our personal lives. Invest in heavenly things instead of the world.
That is hope instead of revisiting the fall of Rome and playing the part of a people watching their nation fall apart.
You people are a bunch of pathetic pu$$ies! Maybe this thread should come with a melancholy violin playing in the background! People like you are part of the problem!
Glad our president doesn’t act like a sniveling little Bi*ch!
“Trump is the Last President. This nation cannot hold an election anyone respects.”
In the spring of 1968 America was being polarized by the Vietnam War, riots, counterculture, and many other factors, far worse than today (I was in college awaiting my callup for Vietnam).
Before RFK was assassinated in June of that year, Esquire magazine ran a cover article proclaiming, “Robert Kennedy sworn in as Acting President of the United States”.
Ignoring the approaching rise of Richard Nixon, Esquire presumed that the U.S. was already ruled by the Democratic Party with its Congressional majorities, SCOTUS majorities, and White House dominance. That the Democrats were in near total chaos with LBJ dropping out with no clear frontrunner and no clear strategy for disengagement from Vietnam, made the editors conclude that a conventional election in 1968 was impossible & that the Dem Congress would have to exert extraordinary powers to install a new Chief Executive.
Our biggest worry for 2020 is widespread and unresisted voter fraud. But there’s hope: the sheer impact of modern telecommunications has made Deep State chicanery not impossible, but problematic. Meanwhile the Dem candidate field is a joke; Dem candidates in 1968 were statesmanlike in comparison and none were the America-haters we have today.
Trump will win in 2020; it just scares me how a nation’s entire destiny hinges upon the wisdom and health of one man (and DAMN you Republicans for making it so!)
2024 will be the year CWII breaks out, in my opinion.
Wow... this topic is spoken of quite often at our church.. Almost everyone has a feeling of impending doom... :(
Oh ok...just go back to sleep then.
It’ll be all ok so long as you’ve got your booze and drugs to use then.
Sadly that is correct.
The naysayers can ignore reality all they want.
The day of reckoning gets closer with each passing hour.
Hear! Hear!
This being THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, we can no longer use this name as we have now become divided. One question remains.
Where do we go from here? Two individual countries? Theirs and Ours.
Very true!
Plenty of scoffers and ostriches in this peanut gallery.

where I come from... talking to another man in this manner gets your ass severely beat.
Don’t disagree one bit.
If you think our society is normal, then you’d better look in the mirror with regards to who the problem is.
Based on your post, I’d say you are.
You must go to a wonderful church.
These days it’s hard to find anything valuable being spoken of at church, other than living your ‘best life now’, making money & influence, etc.
Pastors these days are ill equipped to train their flocks. Yours isn’t and hopefully he’s instructing you all to put on the Whole Armor of God.
Very true!
It’s not going to get better. That is about the only certainty we have.
We are 30 + million people down the road to becoming North Mexico.
And a lot of doomsayers who seem to privately thrill at the prospect of everything going to hell.
After witnessing recent events, there is reason for distrust.
At this point, to be willing to trust would be foolish. Two nations is not ideal by any means; but UNITED? We are not blind or foolish.
“Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie.” —Miyamoto Musashi.
I would suggest that people who truly believe that this dysfunctional cycle can continue in America so long as the money keeps flowing get a grip on true reality. Or live your own little personal lie.
The fact that suicides have been skyrocketing over the past 15 years plus shows this isn’t a joke or ‘drama’.
