The USSS (Cheatle) hearing today is a classic example of what Democratic controlled leadership looks like. A DEI / Empty Suit is positioned in authority as the lightning rod. While the bureaucratic puppet masters put on a kabuki theater for the mindless American public. It was clear today that she is either a useful idiot or the purest form of evil that exists. I contend for the former.

Biden was no different. A useful idiot...who will be dead within weeks. idiots talk. RIP Sheila Jackson Lee

You can add Rino leadership as well. If Trump gets elected and doesn't follow through addressing it ... we're finished.

It's pretty obvious to anyone with a brain, that the CCP picks the democrats candidate. Not the voters. Are they bought or compromised?

Is that why Harris is polling better than Biden with actual voters...not the CCP, not the media, not the illuminati? Actual voters. Real American people.

Democrats in a general will vote for whoever the CCP backs/selects. That's the scariest part.

What’s your obsession with China? And what makes you think that China has anything to do with the current popularity of Harris?

To be honest, only one of the parties right now looks to emulate the CCP and it’s not the D.

Instead of accepting that there might be more public support for someone you don’t like, you’re trying to paint some big boogeyman out there. Sometimes things are simpler than they look. Not everything is a twisted conspiracy.

…Actual voters…
Actual voters. Wasn’t that his core point? Did the voters decide this? This part of the conversation is indisputable. The most valid reasons for it, may or may not have something to do with Biden’s abysmal debate performance, followed by a mesmerizing assassination moment, all while being the bag-holder of self-sabotaging campaign ads. Sounds like game over. Reset.

It doesn't seem like a huge conspiracy to have the sitting president withdraw from the nomination and have his VP (who was also on his ticket) take his place.

It's not like they picked some rando off the street.

Also, yeah, voters didn't have much of a choice because there were no serious primary challengers to Biden. In the end, Biden did the voters who might support him or don't want to support Trump a favor by stepping aside. In the end, more people are energized and excited.

I didn't vote in the D primary. I voted in the R primary (as I am a registered R, even though we have an open primary). My primary selections have never made it in any elections, so in the end, I have to always vote for someone else's choice, so I suppose this doesn't bother me much.

Once Biden drops out, the options are pretty limited. Either way, I've seen more people excited to have someone not named Biden or Trump in this election cycle and I don't think that's a bad thing. If it energizes people who weren't going to vote, that's a good thing. The more people vote, the better.

Cool...cool. Now explain what specifically excites you about the Harris / Walz platform?

Dude defines himself as a GOPer, and a conservative, and a Harris/Walz guy? If you want to make a case for the left, align with it, and make your point. Otherwise, it sounds disingenuous.

I missed all the debates, no wait, there were none, RFK was told he couldn't run as a D, by whoever picks their candidates. And It wasn't by voters. Bernie had everyone beat when he ran. He was railroaded the same way. Good luck defending that party. This VP appointment has spent a lot of time in China.

I’ve spent a lot of time in China too and loved it there. My son was born in China. But you keep on yelling at clouds.

Trump didn’t even bother to show up to any debates and he got a nomination, so evidently if you have enough support, you can overcome any debate issues.

I’m going to leave y’all be. I get that it doesn’t make sense to you why a Christian won’t vote for Trump or something but there are a lot of us.

Get it, you don’t like Trump. Get in line. There’s a whole lot of Christians who aren’t a fan either. But you don’t go into a polling booth to vote against someone, you vote for someone.
So again, what should a Christian support in the Harris / Walz ticket? If there are a “lot of you“, you must have some solid platitudes.

Yeah, voters elected him in a landslide.

There is little to no question that many who dislike Trump will be among those who actually vote for him. They will do this without hesitation because it’s the practical thing to do. In fact, any truly informed voter, who’s not overcommitted in the opposite direction, will likely be, at the very least, tempted to move in the GOP direction. Trump/Vance has a huge advantage on all the key critical issues. Can you think of a single issue pertaining to the average wage-earner where Harris/Walz has an advantage?

That statement is so devoid of reality that it puts into question this whole charade you have going of claiming to be a registered Republican. You keep throwing around the conspiracy word as if it's highly implausible that a party that railroaded their leading candidate in 2016 (Bernie Sanders) didn't turn around and do it again in 2024. In a recent interview, Biden basically stated outright that he was pushed out against his will, and they've set Kamala up as though she's the 2nd coming of Obama. The only problem with that is in the last primary process that Biden won in 2020, Kamala was so awful that she couldn't even get a single vote. She dropped out before votes were cast.

The list goes on:
- Only one party has a propaganda machine at its disposal.
- Only one party used the power of the FISA court (illegally might I add) by using the false and fictitious work of a campaign consultant to falsely accuse a newly elected president as a traitor and asset of another country.
- Only one party has advocated for forced lockdowns and mandates for an experimental vaccine.
- Only one party continues to degrade and attack other branches of government that they disagree with.
- Only one party has their newly appointed successor to Biden (who made that decision?) whose first policy position is rumored to be the establishment of price and rent controls.
- Only one party continues to try and control every aspect of human life and consumption in the name of Climate change.

This is merely scratching the surface. There are outright/self-admitted communists in the Democrat party. But yeah... sure... go off on Trump.

I’m not sure a persons relationship with God is able to be assessed by whom they vote for.
I have a lot of problems with how Harris became the Democrat nominee. But if someone doesn’t I don’t think they are any less ‘Christian’.
I have a lot of problems with Walz and the NG. But if someone doesn’t I don’t think they are any less Christian
I have a lot of problems with what little we know about the Harris/Walz agenda. But if someone doesn’t I don’t think they are any less Christian
Conversely just because you are voting for Trump doesn’t make you a better Christian.
I have yet to find in the Bible where who you vote for determines your commitment to Christ. And I even went to seminary!

Answer, more abortions, more gender confusion, more green scams, continued high fuel prices, more government control over your life, state dept continues pushing far left social agendas in all our foreign policy, continueed loss of respect arond the world, continued deterioration of our military, trouble meeting enlistment goals, less support for Israel, more Instability in the middle east. Greater chance of a world war. To name a few. :(

All of which are Policy issues. None are Spiritual ones. Even abortion. You can make a case against abortion without bring Christianity into it.
As I stated I have a lot of issues with what little we know about the Harris/Walz agenda. I believe given the choices we have Trump is by far better for America than is Harris/Walz. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who will vote for them simply because they are not Trump. That’s a personal and political choice. Not a Spiritual one
