So much HYPOCRISY on the part of the MAGA Republicans in Congress.

Those who profess to follow Jesus Christ as they inflict such cruelty on the least of His people. Boy are they in for a reality check when their souls will face Jesus and He asks them what they did for His people as in Matthew 25:31-46.

"The banality of evil" is a term she used to describe Adolph Eichmann, architect of the Nazi "final solution," and to explore the meaning and significance of the Nazi genocide to our modern times.

Thank you for posting this and a huge thank you to Lawrence for his dedication to this country and its citizens. Saw this last night. I don’t know how the man does this day in and day out! I’m grateful for his dedication.

I have or had a stutter that only shows up with I am very tired or sick. President Biden's stutter showed up early on but I agree with Lawrence that for the rest of the debate, President Biden beat the shit out of trump.

I have met President Biden twice and got to discuss stuttering with him. Here is the thread that I posted back after the debate

I agree strongly with Lawrence's comments about that stupid debate
