A significant movement of American Christians—encouraged by the president himself—is now directly threatening the rule of law, the Constitution, and the peace and unity of the American republic.
It’s clear now that when many of those people declared Trump to be “God’s anointed” they did not mean that his presidency was “instituted by God” in the same manner as other governing authorities, as described in Romans 13. (By conventional Christian reasoning, Joe Biden’s upcoming presidency is also instituted by God.)
No, they believe that Trump had a special purpose and a special calling, and that this election defeat is nothing less than a manifestation of a Satanic effort to disrupt God’s plan for this nation. They were not “holding their nose” to support him. They were deeply, spiritually, and personally invested in his political success.

Not a word from any of them about what where're seeing unfold in plain sight; in real time. Witnessing their silence is like watching the three monkeys. Hear see and speak no evil when it comes to Trump.
Yet they are complaining about Biden. Can you say fraud. I can. I can say fraud.

Trump was a victim of a non-violent coup.
Ted remains silent to this day about this fact.
Ted is Anti-American.
Ted is too retarded to fix his fucking signature.

A new report highlights 2021’s most pressing humanitarian crises and perhaps no surprise to many, victims of US wars and regime change efforts top the list.

Despite the devastation, humanitarian support to the country has actually been decreasing, thanks to the work of the Trump administration. Throughout 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been successfully pressuring the United Nations and its donor nations to scale back aid to Yemen in an attempt to starve the Houthi Rebels into submission.

Quote:Biden is old enough to remember the Vietnam fiasco and cynical enough to know that the Pentagon is run by liars and incompetents who couldn't perform a real job: On Afghanistan, the then-vice-president has been proved right. Mr Biden was an ardent advocate for drawing down American troops and focusing instead on a counter-terrorism strategy that would abandon the kind of nation-building that the Afghanistan Papers indict.

“He fought it tooth and nail,” a former senior military official who allied with Mr Gates in the debate grudgingly acknowledged to me recently, recounting Mr Biden’s opposition to a “surge” of increased forces in southern Afghanistan during a war strategy review early in the Obama administration.
“Biden really loudly opposed, visibly opposed in the review, the surge. . . . I’m certainly willing to give him that he got Afghanistan right.”
This is not to say that Mr Biden’s record as a foreign policy player in the Obama years is unblemished. Far from it. Mr Obama put him in charge of what was a largely politically-motivated withdrawal strategy in Iraq that ended up costing the US most of its Bush-era gains in the country. And a fuller accounting of his role in the disastrous policy decisions that led to chaos in both Libya and Syria is warranted.
But on Afghanistan, Mr Biden pushed long and hard for a lighter footprint and far more reliance on special operations forces, advanced surveillance and targeting technologies — particularly increasingly sophisticated drones — to root out terrorist networks that continued to threaten US interests.
“In the Afghanistan policy review process, Biden served as a contrarian in a room full of people who were more aligned with military leaders and their ‘go-big’ proposals,” a former Biden aide recalled to me. “Biden was very sceptical of their promises and the idea that the Taliban could be defeated militarily.”
In the end, Mr Obama sided with Mr Gates and the military commanders over Mr Biden, agreeing to send 30,000 additional troops to General Stanley McChrystal, the US commander in Afghanistan — though that was fewer than Gen McChrystal had sought, and they were deployed for a shorter time than he wanted. Analysts continue to disagree on the effectiveness of that deployment, but the fact remains that nearly 20 years after the war started, Washington is now negotiating a peace deal with the same Taliban movement it was then fighting to destroy.

The war in Afghanistan shattered Joe Biden’s faith in American military power
‘I am not sending my boy back there to risk his life on behalf of women’s rights!’ the vice president shouted.

ilitary-power/
Vice President Joe Biden decided to make one more last-minute push to convince President Obama that the advice his generals were giving him was disastrously wrong. It was Thanksgiving weekend 2009, and Obama was on the verge of committing 30,000 new troops to Afghanistan.
Biden was in Nantucket, Mass., with his family for the holiday. He pulled out a legal pad and began writing a memo for Obama in longhand that he hoped might limit the damage from the president’s decision.
The memo summarized the arguments he had been airing for months to the growing irritation of the military’s top brass. The Pentagon’s strategy was too broad, too expensive, and too focused on the Taliban insurgency, instead of al-Qaeda.
The vice president fed the handwritten pages into a classified fax machine — he wanted Obama to know these were his unfiltered thoughts — and sent them to the president.
There was little in Biden’s past that could have predicted that he would stake out such a hard position in his first months as vice president.

They are the radical Christians. Another term that accurately describes them would be wacko's.
