Yes, and it can be viewed in terms of a much longer process in which many of us here have been engaged our entire lives - the struggle to expose the uniparty system and get fair representation for our interests.

Gosh, EveningStar, sounds like you’re privy to some really important information about the notion of divine intervention, so why don’t you be charitable and share it with those of us who are not so well-informed?

That fits him perfectly!

Remember his performance at that Catholic New York evening gala/dinner, where he got up and really socked it to the libs, albeit with humor? HRC, Schumer, Maria Bartiromo, etc were there. That night, he really was a “glorious bastard!”

Except that “The Reverend Jackson” did NOT use the term “black people”, but instead used a vulgar colloquianism that I will not repeat here, as you will recall ...

A, I wonder if you would enlighten us as to just why, in your view, he may be rightly characterized as a “very flawed man”?
Do you mean flawed like Obama? Or flawed like Reagan? Or flawed like Stalin or Hitler?

Yeah this needs an explanation for me, too. The Bush family is a crime family, but surely W was Christian and had a Christian inaug.

Not sure what they mean by ‘first Christian inauguration’ we have had many presidents who we Christian and they all probably had multiple ministers at inauguration. Even Obama had some racist preacher at his..

Paula has been raised up for this event. God has His reasons.

Dan 12. 2. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt:

Gotta just roll with it and pass the popcorn.

I think this is probably overstated and that other faiths will also participate in the inauguration because we are a pluralistic culture and Trump is a considerate man (despite all the lousy inaccurate press he gets)

The other faiths just won’t be allowed to demand that Christianity be covered up so it doesn’t “offend” them -

I did not see any evidence of Christianity in his past, but I am seeing a LOT of evidence in his present. People can change. I think Trump genuinely has changed. I think he is letting God into his life and it is affecting his behavior.

I have seen news articles telling about Trump attending church at least twice since he was elected. If he were doing this to pander to Christians, he would have attended church BEFORE the election and made a big show of it.
