Not sure what you are suggesting. It appears the man's tweet wants Trump to continue to deport illegals as he was mandated to do and what polls today want as well...and that is with fickle people that can be influenced by the media. I admit I'm ignorant of the man and what weight his opinion carries to enhance or deduct from what people elected Trump to do.

I'm suggesting that as trump focuses on large cities, incidents like what happened in LA are going to grow. Trump is going to try and scare the hell out of you and will say he has to put more federal troops on the ground in large cities........cause you know, he's a tough guy. A shot rings out and people die. Then the demonstrations really get out of control.

What about the illegals on the farms and in the hotels? Did he not get a "mandate" to deport them too? Maybe the illegals in the large cities should go work on the farms.

You should look at more recent polling.

I brought up Munich because you have used it as a reason that we, the US, must stop Russia in Ukraine.

To summarize, your view is that words matter more than actions?

And as federal troops are deployed on the streets on America to quell demonstrations. It's gotta start somewhere. More to come.

Wtf are you talking about? These aren't just words people are saying. They are proclaiming this is a belief system and a way of way for them. They want others to believe the same way and try to enact laws so they have to.

That's like Biden saying he's not too old to be president. Why don't you give him a pass on that? Based on his words you would say he isn't. Based on his actions you would say he is. Accordingly, you should ignore his words and forget about it.

Never mind this murderer is acting 180 degrees different than what he says he believes.

Your logic sucks.

I think there is a disconnect between you and Riveting. He is saying his actions or murdering is not aligned with a Christian. Actually, it is a huge disconnect. I have no idea what the man's belief system is since he never actually listed any scripture or declared such. He danced and... His actions represent the Christian body about as much as Genghis Kahn did. I don't believe that anyone that supports abortion cannot be a Christian although that act is definitely not Christian. Man has fallen short many times, which brings me to the following: 1) Some Protestant denominations believe once saved...always saved. 2) Others believe you can fall out and need to start over. 3) Catholics in particular believe that there is a purification process...even for those that believe in Christ and that man is incapable of perfection and so the acceptance of Christ is a starting point rather than an ending point.

Philippians 2:12
"Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"

Martin Luther wanted James removed primarily due to 2:17/18, but can start at 2:14 for a bit more..."

17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
18 But some one will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

I have no idea what the man "was" or will be, but his act at that moment was not driven by Christ.

'Trump Is A King!' Say People Freely Protesting In A Free Country

'Trump Is A King!' Say People Freely Protesting In A Free Country!​

U.S. — Thousands of free Americans gathered in cities across the country today to lament their lack of freedom by holding rallies while shouting "Trump is a king!" and exercising their right to freely protest in a free country.

The downtrodden, oppressed, upper-middle-class populace in urban centers throughout the United States boldly made their voices heard to decry President Donald Trump as acting like an all-powerful monarch as they openly protested and displayed their liberties in the freest society on Earth.

"Trump is a tyrant! He has taken away our freedoms!" cried Mable Mcclean, a 68-year-old bisexual Episcopalian priest and part-time slam poet. "We will not tolerate any president who sees himself as a king! No kings! Unless it's Barack Obama. Then, it might be ok to have a king."

Anti-Trump protesters raged at his near-omnipotence. "He's just doing whatever he wants," another rallygoer said. "Nobody is standing in his way. Except for Congress. And the media. And Hollywood. And multiple rogue federal judges. And every member of the Democratic Party. We don't even live in a free country where we can protest, which is why we're protesting. It's time for us to draw a line in the sand and stand up to demand the right to do exactly what we're all doing today."

At publishing time, the large crowds had dissipated, as it was time for their afternoon Metamucil.

I think you start with the same starters as last year and either DJ or Cluff.

After probably depends on whether Mayer is the one and doner some Euro League followers think or whether he turns out to be someone who takes multiple seasons to get to that level.

Agree. I think Mayer isn't even on campus yet so he's likely got a fair amount of catching up to do.

One of the myriad of reasons the NBA has fell way out of favor for me......part of this trade (as one-sided as it appears) was to offload Caldwell-Pope, who is a quintessential Harry Special.

"You know Steve.......here's a guy Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. He's averaging 8.6 points on 41% FG shooting and a paltry 30% from deep.......and he's making TWENTY TWO million dollars a year - I just can't figure it out. How does he look the GM in the eye when he picks up his check.......guess they also gave him a commemorative BBQ set because they're just burning cash.........."

Spot on. I recall Harry going on that rant with Stoney a few times.

I think we all think that. Cluff is just more of a vet right now and DJ hasn’t played a full season yet. DJ has next level potential, but he needs some games to get up to game speed.

I think his floor is Haas. Which isn't bad at all. Better than having Furst at the 5.

The protests must have worked. There are still no kings in the US.

The US Army ended our first kingship, and the no kings protests have kept us from having additional kings since Saturday. Klinker and the others can claim a victory.

How does replacing a starting SG who was a horrible shooter with an elite scorer not make them better? They were the worst 3 point shooting team in the nba last year.
Yes they ALSO need a starting PG. There is still the draft and, uh, free agency? Could also trade. Probably not getting a starting PG at 16 but there are 5-6 free agents that scratch that itch.

Click to expand...

Drsft wise, unless they move up, there aren't any point guards in their drafting area. Free agency? No one like that. They would have to have traded for a Trae Young or something or even a more role playing point guard that is a real point guard. But they really don't have a lot of trade value on their roster or in picks.

BB62 said:

Obvious to who lol? Christians here believe Jesus's life and teachings are a model for how to live a life pleasing to god. Yet they take positions completely contrary to what Jesus would.........and no need for you to ask for examples when you know what they are. Something as basic as the death penalty mentioned by the resident Catholic is an obvious one. Clearly one can be a Christian and yet believe in, call for, and practice very unchristian like things.

True…but 3 of the 7 who had college experience did not make first cut.

At least 6 of 13 from class of 2026 (Kinney’s) made first cut.

Interesting stuff.

Well doesn't matter now. Haliburton 0-5 and zero points is poo 💩.

Indiana looks like a college team playing a pro team. They need a third scorer. Someone besides Siakam and sometimes Hali who can go and get a bucket whenever.

They rely a lot on someone getting hot randomly.
