"How many realise Donald Trump had a case?"

Many in the health industry have long suspected a real bad, untreated case for a long time.

"Does Trump Have Syphilis?"
There are more than a few people who do not exactly see eye-to-eye with our most recent president. While some disagree with Donald Trump’s policies and values, others question his sanity. There have been enough instances where he has given us reasons to wonder, does Donald Trump have Syphilis?

Like that time he talked about light bulbs giving you cancer:

When he defended sexual assaults:

Or when he discussed foreign relations with us:

Many people have thought Trump isn’t “right” since he started campaigning for president, but nobody knows exactly why he does the things he does. It wasn’t until Dr. Steven Beutler’s article titled “A Medical Theory for Donald Trump’s Bizarre Behavior” published in the New Republic did syphilis enter the picture. Beutler claimed that Trump’s odd and irrational behavior could be attributed to a bad case of untreated syphilis. This is quite the claim, but is it true? And if so, how?

Maybe He Stepped on a Syphilis Mine While on Deployment in His “Personal Vietnam”?

Trump could have accepted the loss like an adult, regrouped, but left the White House gracefully. As I, and many others predicted, he couldn’t do it. His arrogance, and ego would not let him.
Now he leaves the office in disgrace— known to be a sore loser, whose allies are now rejecting him. He has made his own stinking, rotting bed, and now lies in it.
He has truly added to his legacy. He will be remembered as the President who lied to the country about a national health crisis, failing the country miserably; and now the President who incited an insurrection against his own country with an attack on the Capital—an attempted, failed coup.

Trump needs to resign and shut up before he stains his legacy further.

If it was God who led you to believe that Trump would have a second term, I think he was pulling your leg.

R.G. Loc: Scotland

There's a difference between a protest and an attack. Even if he encouraged his supporters to protest strongly, that's not the same as inciting an attack.

The idiots did exactly what Trump wanted them to do. He loved it until he realized he had gone too far.
Good Lord, wake up. The man is not a patriot--he is a monster wrapped in himself.

R.G. Loc: Scotland

I'll say it again - something tells me he has enough sense to realise that a violent protest wouldn't be doing him or his party any favours. You and quite a few others seem to be inordinately keen to attribute the violence to him. Whether you like him or not you should at least realise that he's not a complete idiot. And the Republicans aren't so stupid that they would bomb themselves.

Kmgw9v Loc: Miami, Florida

The whole objective world has attributed the violence to him. Did you see his speech the morning before the attack on the Capital?

Wake up to what this man is--a narcissistic idiot who lost and is desperate.

R.G. Loc: Scotland

I haven't watched all of it but so far I haven't seen anything that an impartial observer would describe as Donald Trump inciting violence. And that includes the supposedly damning excerpts.

What I have seen is comments like "We will not concede" - not surprising if you consider the possibility that the election was stolen.

Kmgw9v Loc: Miami, Florida

Did you hear the part about "weakness'; and are you so blind that you cannot read the message between the lines? The protesters understood his intent, why don't you?

R.G. Loc: Scotland

Are you going to try to tell me that the Republicans are so stupid they would bomb themselves?

No one is keeping you, Trump, his legal team, or his supporters from investigating 'just how insignificant the insignificance is.' Investigate all you want, but, in this country, elections have consequences, and the candidate receiving the most votes is generally declared the winner . . . until this presidential election. No matter what portion of the country thinks the election was rigged or unfair, those who voted for Biden substantially outnumber the doubters, and they deserve for their votes to count and not be thrown out. Voters of color have the same right to vote as the rest of the population.

Those who have doubts about the integrity of our election process have simply swallowed Trump's numerous efforts to sow doubt about our process. There were not millions of dead voters, ballots were not blindly mailed to millions, it doesn't work that way. It is not possible to simply fill out millions of ballots and stuff them in a ballot box. Each ballot has to be matched to a registered voter whose signature is on file in the system. In most areas, the counting of ballots was broadcast live on TV, available for all who had concerns to watch and observe in real time. States in which Trump lost did not magically ignore or illegally violate their state constitution to switch the voting process to favor Biden. It did not happen, and voters in majority black communities did not cheat, they just showed up and voted.

Trump and his team have had more than ample time to determine whether abnormalities in the election process were or were not significantly present. At each of their court appearances, they failed to present any evidence of their allegations. This election is over, and Trump is out, his phony challenges to the outcome of the election notwithstanding. For you and whoever else cares to seek out election fraud, there are four years until the next presidential election. Go searching for your fraud and expose it. The rest of us will be moving on under a new administration.

Trump’s evangelicals were complicit in the desecration of our democracy

The practical effects of the fascist occupation of the U.S. Capitol building were quickly undone. The symbols it left behind are indelible.

A Confederate flag waved in triumph in the halls of a building never taken by Jefferson Davis. Guns drawn to protect the floor of the House of Representatives from violent attack. A cloddish barbarian in the presiding officer’s chair. The desecration of democracy under the banner “Jesus Saves.”
This post-apocalyptic vision of chaos and national humiliation was the direct and intended consequence of a president’s incitement. It was made possible by quislings such as Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who turned a ceremony of continuity into a rallying cry for hatred and treason. In the aftermath, Republican legislators who still don’t support President Trump’s immediate removal from office by constitutional means are guilty of continuing complicity.


All this leaves President-elect Joe Biden in a difficult position. Prudence would advise two weeks of patience and then an upbeat attempt to turn the national page. Justice would dictate arresting, trying and imprisoning President Trump for sedition at the soonest possible moment.

As of now, I am in the justice camp. The only way to restore boundaries of law and decency is to enforce them.
The coming weeks will see a gradually arriving reckoning. Political leaders who sought access and influence over the past four years through a political alliance with insurrectionists and domestic terrorists are responsible for unleashing insurrectionists and domestic terrorists. This is true of some Federalist Society conservatives, who cared only about judicial appointments. It is true of some economic conservatives, focused only on tax and regulatory policy. And it is true, above all, of Trump evangelicals, who sought to recover lost social influence through the cynical embrace of corrupt power.


I come back to this group repeatedly, not only because I share an evangelical background and resent those who dishonor it, but because the overwhelming support of evangelicals is the single largest reason that Trump possesses power in the first place. It was their malignant approach to politics that forced our country into its current nightmare. As white nationalists, conspiracy theorists, misogynists, anarchists, criminals and terrorists took hold of the Republican Party, many evangelicals blessed it under the banner “Jesus Saves.”
Jesus had something to say about political deals with the devil: “Get behind me, Satan!” My point is less theological: The political and religious costs of a tight evangelical alliance with violent bigots and crackpots were easily foreseen. I and many others foresaw and foresaw until our fingers ached at the keyboard. Yet Franklin Graham, Jerry Falwell Jr., Robert Jeffress and the others either shut their eyes or shared in Trumpian hatreds. “There has never been anyone,” said Ralph Reed of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, “who has defended us and who has fought for us, who we have loved more than Donald J. Trump. No one!”
“We didn’t vote for him to be our pastor or our husband,” explained Penny Nance of Concerned Women for America. “We voted for him to be our bodyguard.” But what if the bodyguard you hired turns out to be a brutish, bigoted, narcissistic, authoritarian thug who wants to burn down any democratic institution he can’t control? Perhaps the moral character of political bodyguards actually matters. Perhaps evangelicals should not be hiring bodyguards in the first place, but rather supporting moral leaders who seek the common good.


The damage is now done. And it is not my purpose to pick through the ruins of destroyed reputations. It is tempting to call unforgivable the equation of Christian truth with malice, cruelty, deception, bigotry and sedition. But that statement is itself contradicted by Christian truth, which places no one beyond forgiveness and affirms that everyone needs grace in different ways. There is a perfectly good set of Christian tools to deal with situations such as these: remorse, repentance, forgiveness, reformation.

The collapse of one disastrous form of Christian social engagement should be an opportunity for the emergence of a more faithful one. And here there are plenty of potent, hopeful Christian principles lying around unused by most evangelicals: A consistent and comprehensive concern for the weak and vulnerable in our society, including the poor, immigrants and refugees. A passion for racial reconciliation and criminal justice reform, rooted in the nonnegotiable demands of human dignity. A deep commitment to public and global health, reflecting the priorities of Christ’s healing ministry. An embrace of political civility as a civilizing norm. A commitment to the liberty of other people’s religions, not just our own. An insistence on public honesty and a belief in the transforming power of unarmed truth.
What would America be like if these had been the priorities of evangelical Christians over the past four years — or over the past four decades? It would mean something very different, in that world, to raise the banner “Jesus Saves.”
