Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Bill Clinton mentioned God a lot in his speeches, and when he was in a tight spot he would even quote Scripture and ostentatiously carry a Bible around. Which was ok, because absolutely no one thought that he believed a word of what he was saying. On the other hand, George W. Bush's occasional references to his faith were widely attacked, because people suspected that he might be telling the truth.
President Biden finds himself in a similar situation now. Recall Hillary Clinton's testimony in the Benghazi hearings or regarding her private email server. She answered "I don't recall" repeatedly - 21 times out of 25 questions in one hearing. It worked fine for her, because everybody knew she was lying. That made it ok.
Imagine Joe Biden doing that. Imagine him answering "I don't recall" over and over again. That would be a disaster for him, because everyone would know that he was telling the truth.
When the citizens hope that leaders lie to them, and are offended if they suspect that their leaders are being truthful, that society has very serious problems. America is not a serious country. And it has not been for some time.

Well done, sir.
With all of these Trump prosecutions, I have been listening very intently to people talking about Hillary Clinton, and what she did, James Comey, etc. Then the uneven prosecutions of the foreign registration act thing for what is effectively lobbying for foreign countries (I forget the name) , and the people that worked for Trump. And the explanations of what the Attorney General, and what prosecutors are supposed to do, what the limits are. I mean it's sickening, to the extent that the people I'm listening to know what they are talking about.
Clinton and Biden should definitely be in jail. I mean no question about it. James Comey lied, and lied, and completely overstepped his power boundaries.
Then they broke all of those people like Rudy Giuliani with unlimited government litigation.
They have broken, I mean literally broke, people like Rudy Giuliani, etc. with lawfare and litigation. `They got that Cassidy what's-her-name to lie just because she couldn't afford attorneys.
This is terrible. Screw it. I want Trump to give the same colonoscopy to the DOJ and every Justice thing he's in charge of just like what they did to Momahr Kadafi.

This really is true. It's not overstating it.
Either you have a ton of cash to take care of yourself in the legal system or you take big risks. It's harming the growth of this country. A lot of people move here for that and it's not that good anymore.

He and his wife look pretty young in that photo where he's flashing his bible. I wonder if that was the day he climbed into a pulpit and proclaimed his crime bill as the will of God. I saw a photo like that at the time. Maybe it's the same one.

The Clinton foundation was a criminal operation, they were just better at it than the Biden family.
Then throw in Russia-gate. I think there was a total of $100,000 in fines.
Pray to God that Trump gets elected.
