As professing Christians (including some folks who actually are real Christians) spread false and dangerous information about Haitian immigrants and promote other lies from proven chronic liars), remember what the Bible says about lies and lying.

Ephesians 4:25, Amplified:
“Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ].”

And there are also some pretty explicit warnings in Scripture about being a liar, whatever exactly that means.

We tend to focus like a laser beam on sexual sins and ignore a lot of other behaviors the Bible associates with condemnation.

A quick question to my white brethren who, even in this current Trump era, continue to vote for Republicans:

Have you ever noticed what a high percentage of the arguments those politicians appeal to you with are based on appealing to fear? Specifically fear of “them?”

They play you the same movie script over and over and over again, with only the villains being cast differently. But you keep buying tickets to watch the movie.

It’s always some variant of “them” coming to take your [FILL IN THE BLANK]. Always.

First they were supposed to take your guns. Many Democratic Presidencies later, you still have your guns. You have more than you ever had before, actually.

Then the pitch was that “woke” teachers were going to take your kids and make them hate themselves.

A good half of society is all but ready to overlook Trump’s:

- 34 felony convictions for fraud covering up an illegal campaign contribution (Michael Cohen was sent to prison for his part of the scheme BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION).

…

- A federal indictment for taking, refusing to return documents containing nuclear weapons info, war plans and the vulnerabilities of both the U.S. and our adversaries. And then trying to destroy the evidence.

- A federal indictment for trying to steal an election which he and his advisors knew he lost.

- A state inducement for trying to steal that state’s electoral votes. A case in which the defendant was literally caught on tape asking the Secretary of State to “find” him votes.

The only reason that the election may even be close is because Donald Trump is singularly held to the most generous grading curve ever applied to any politician in U.S. history.

He is held to a different set of rules. The lowest standard ever applied to an elected leader.

Trump can lie, multiple provable lies every minute he speaks, and it’s not considered news. He’s just being Trump.

But if his opponents mess up even minor details in any statement they make - that becomes a matter of concern to the public.

Donald Trump is a man who cheated on his first wife with his second wife and on his third wife with a porn star and a playmate. The porn star testified under oath and the playmate stated on the record he told them they reminded him of his DAUGHTER.

Reporters just yawn. Meh.

The choice for President in 2024 is a really easy one when you look at some basic facts. It doesn't matter whether or not you're conservative, moderate or liberal. Republican, Independent or Democrat.

The question is, do you want a criminal who wants to be a dictator?

Suppose that Kamala Harris were to became the nominee.

Let me tell you exactly how that would play out. If it happens, let’s review this thread in a few months to see if I called it right.

In the same way that a canine absolutely cannot resist the smell of chicken, the bastardized mixture of white grievance and overgrown brattiness that makes up the most vocal and energized faction of “conservative” leadership cannot help but attack black women. It’s instinctive.

I think it’s because a lot of these Tucker Carlson/Marjorie Taylor Greene/Matt Gaetz/TPUSA types are both racist and sexist. And entitled. And, in spite of having been dealt a pretty good hand in life, still resentful.
