How is it possible to be any more insane?

>>>Trump recently held a MAGA rally in Las Vegas, where some of his popular speakers triggered controversy with their statements.

Most prominent among them was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who shockingly compared Trump to a prominent religious figure, Jesus Christ.

She said, "The Democrats and the fake news media want to constantly talk about, 'Oh, President Trump is a convicted felon,'" which referenced Trump's recent conviction on 34 felony charges of fraud and falsification of business records.

Greene continued, "Well, you wanna know something? The man that I worship is also a convicted felon. And he was murdered on [the] Roman cross."

Another speaker, Nevada Republican Party Chair Michael McDonald, further made statements equating Trump to a religious figure, stopping just before calling him a god. He said, "Thank God we're here in Sunset Park to worship and bring back the greatest president we've ever known in our generation."

I think that's a bit of a stretch to say she compared him to Christ. She compared them both being tried.

I think it's a hell of a stretch to draw any other inference than she was directly comparing him to her "Jesus".

Oh, come on, Steve! She drew a direct analogy between Trump and Jesus.

Quit being a Trump apologist. (And now, an MTG apologist). It suspends your credibility for one thing. It can make people frustrated and angry, then they call you names.

I think you've probably voted R a long time, and have difficulty leaving the brand. But it's a step you ought to take. Trumpism is not the R party you once knew. It is nullifying your critical thinking.

There are some on here one can simply dismiss as stupid, doomed to parrot Tucker Carlson or some other douche they perceive as smarter than they are (which leaves a lot of choices), but Steve isn't that stupid.

Or at least I didn't think he was.

She did use the same event that they both have had to one another, But she didn't "liken him to Christ"

I'll agree shes a loose cannon, says things without thinking and uses "reductio ad absurdium" to its finest definition.

And as far as my critical thinking goes, I'm one of the few that will read a post, think of my response, type it out, read it then re-read it. I try to make my best case response in a few words.

Our political system is full of nuts. There are plenty on both sides of the aisle. I don't see you guys calling out the squad for their fiery rhetoric about Israel, Ukraine, the border, or one of many subjects.

Our political system is broken, period. There are 545 people running the most powerful nation in the history of the world. We can and should do better.

One thing I will add. Neither Steve nor I need any additional credibility from the ARPF. Both he and I have made our own way and our track records command credibility with those who actually matter.

Knowing Steve and what he has accomplished in life with his own prowess…makes me chuckle when the peanut gallery here speaks of him losing credibility.

Steve, in my bid to make MTG Speaker of the House, these kinds of wild remarks of hers help me. I find your efforts at diminishing rather than fanning the flames of incredibility not helpful.

I think this is a, "hold my beer and watch this!" moment that many of us could get behind, please try to help.

She os taking her lead from evangelicals who have had both Trump and Jesus images on a cross along side.

Conversely, those that directly compare Trump to Hitler?

It is the credibility of the left that is not able to possess any introspective contemplation. They use inflammatory language and attempt to Juxtapose folks like me and the third reich.

Greene is an idiot.

No gravitas to her at all.

A true Christian shouldn’t compare someone like Trump to the son of god. Geez, even the folks that support him in general don’t care for him on a personal level…

The political cartoon that I think says it best was the one where the lefty was saying “how can you support a candidate who was convicted of felonies” and the right wing gun replied, “how can you support a guy who is losing to a guy who just got convicted of felonies?”


Biden is awful. No look over there to it.

Trump is also awful.

While I dislike Trump’s stated policies less, act like MTG’s certainly don’t make me want to vote for him any more than I already do.

Ledvm! What a pretty straw man! But I'll pass on knocking it down. You used to do better at defense of your positions.

I don't much care what Steve has accomplished in life. You're committing a logical fallacy again.

Your focus on me is misplaced. I didn't attack him personally, other than to call him an apologist for Trump and MTG. What else do you call it when a guy takes an indefensible position in knee-jerk protection of a Republican?

All I take issue with are Steve's words--which show a deficiency in critical thinking if he believes Trump is a better choice than Biden. I mean, both suck as candidates, but Biden isn't in Trump's league for bad.

A deficiency in critical thinking about politics is similar to that about religion. It isn't critical thinking that leads you to believe, without good evidence, in Jesus as your personal savior from eternal damnation. It's pure faith and your upbringing.

Similarly, you both have a misplaced loyalty for the Republican brand, at cost of thinking rationally. It's not as if we didn't already have four years of experience with Trump.

I think the bottom line remains that the U.S. Constitution would survive another four years of a dopey Biden, whereas it very likely would not survive another four years of a treasonous Trump.

Wrong.

As a very good diagnostician…I will say most of the time when doctors don’t arrive at the correct diagnosis…it is not that evidence is hard to find…it is that there mind just can’t grasp it. It is usually staring them in the face.

Similarly, you both have a misplaced loyalty for the Republican brand, at cost of thinking rationally. It's not as if we didn't already have four years of experience with Trump.

And you prove my point once again.

There is a reason Steve is where he is. It is called good decision making skills.

Keep plugging…on the tiers of critical thinking you might…you might make it to Steve’s level.

Nobody gives a rat's ass about your self-congratulatory prattle.

If you and Ahrenberg are unable to discern from the quote that MTG was likening trump to Christ, then your analytical powers aren't as formidable as you think.

Another person who commonly skins his nose on a tree in search of a forest.

The accomplishments are irrelevant to the debate.

Dr. Easter weeks to blaster he and like witnesses with the accumulation of weather and accomplishment. Kind of like Trump listen to me because I have a jet and more money.

The bottom line is that accumulation means little. It does not make them more citizens, more entitled to the American Dream, nor more correct.

It does not change the simple fact that Steve Ahrenberg due to a perceived monetary policy and social agenda will make excuses for any bad behavior. Behavior he claims to find abhorrent. Behavior that is more anti-Christian as supported by the teachings of the King James then an abortion. The main hierarchy leveled against Christ was that he likened himself unto the God. This would have been fair, but for Jesus was the begotten son.

Now, we have a representative of our national Lowe chamber liken Trump, a political figure, given due process who continues to receive due process; a figure who has declared to his followers they prosecute me because I speak for you; a plot figure whose image has been placed on a cross beside the image of the crucified Savior; and we are told there is no comparison made.

Of course, we have the great Christian Moralist to tell us it is okay.

Oh, and Trump has engaged in Hitler like actions.

Failed pusch,
Demagoguery,
Calls to restore the true culture,
Calls to restore the blood,
Calls to suspended the Constitution,
and
Attacks on the disabled.

Make Germany, I mean America, 1900 again.

Fr. Easter the support of a men who inspired Jan 6 and called for the suspension of the Constitution is not seeking a Forrest. He is actively clear cutting the forest.

I know Trump did not mean.

On real estate I assume they know what they want, but I have fairly frequently let people know they were undervaluing antiques and hunting books and paid a fair price, still a good price for me but more than their ask.

When somebody is selling off an estate and prices Grandpa's first edition Ruark's at $5 common decency demands I not snatch them up and run.

If Christians are right about the whole "Heaven" thing won't that be on the questionnaire at the Pearly Gates?

While I've got you on the line, why do they insist the "Ten Commandments" from Moses need to be in classrooms and government buildings but you never hear them clamor to post the Beatitudes from Jesus, you know, the guy their Christianity is named after...

This is a lie.

Look at how Al Gore acted when he lost at the Supreme Court contrasted to Trump.

Look at how President Obama handled the transition of power contrasted to Trump and the Trump right.

Look at how President Biden has responded at the conviction of his son contrasted to Trump and the Trump right.


Only Trump has instigated a violent mob to keep power. Only Trump has refused to defend the Capital, Congress, the election, the Constitution from a violent assault of partisans up our constitutional system.

Only Trump has called for the suspension of the Constitution e his immediate reinstatement.

The boy Trump has went along w a false electors scheme and unfounded theory of overturning the election.

Only you and people like you seek to force the rest of us to engage in your religious practices through government force.

Only you and those like you demagogue against gay people.

Only you and people like you advocate for a woman to be forced to bleed out w a fetus inside her that jeopardizes her life, or a child delivering the product of rape.

You are either very stupid or you are a lier.

-Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

liken
verb
lik·​en ˈlī-kən

Synonyms of liken
transitive verb

liken someone/something to someone/something
phrasal verb with liken verb
US /ˈlaɪ.kən/ UK /ˈlaɪ.kən/
Add to word list
to say that someone is similar to or has the same qualities as someone else:

I'm sure Steve's a great guy, is a multi-millionaire, and rides a bike 30 mph...but he hasn't convinced Merriam-Webster and Cambridge to change their definitions of "liken."

He is also intelligent to know what liken means. He also does not care and seeks to justify the behavior of Greene.

Greene was the 3rd highest money raiser in the House GOP the last time I looked.

She matters to the Party as a whole.

She knows what she is doing w this language. The Christian Nationalists have already put an image of Trump on a cross next to the image of Christ on the cross with the same language.

Give it to guys.

We do not see Trump coming out to stop this type of comparison. That would be the moral, responsible thing to do.

No, Biden is not near as awful.

While I've got you on the line, why do they insist the "Ten Commandments" from Moses need to be in classrooms and government buildings but you never hear them clamor to post the Beatitudes from Jesus, you know, the guy their Christianity is named after...

I guess I think there won't be a questionnaire at The Pearly Gates. You either "Believe" or you don't. The merit badges I've earned and the sticky gold stars that school teachers stuck to my forehead aren't sufficient I think.

I think I see the reasoning behind The Ten Commandments being officially morialized, it was law after all and a bit foundational. Sort of like having parents; "no you can't, no you will not, no you can't, no you will not, no you can't, no you will not!".

The Beatitudes are beautiful but don't they seem a little more individualized and personal?

Hey Doc?

Do you notice that its only the shysters that are so vehemently disparaging about your comments and viewpoints? Lol mikey, lil lord fontleroy and headless roland????

Productive citizens, those that actually produce for society? They don't tend to agree with the leeches......

I have to say it! Great job Doc!!!!!!

Anyone, anyone at all, that makes these leeches on society go so such apoplectic MUST be on the right track!

We as a society would be so much better off without lawyers.....

Did you have anything to add to the discussion?

Do you think MTG was likening Trump to Jesus?

Little old jim talking shit on the lawyers. Until he gets fucked on a subcontract by a GC or an owner and then his lawyer is a champion for his rights.

Idiot.

The sad part is, he can offer no rationale, logical rebuttal.

Trump has done all those things and more. I left out the adjudication of being a sexual assaulter, the 34 Felony Convictions, his bankruptcies and business practices to not pay folks like Jtex, his attack on the disabled.

The Trump Right simply just does not care. Yet, the lie to us about how much worse it is that gay people have a limited federally protected right to marry.
