    I'd hope the democrats would stop acting like Biden was without sin. If they could get past that barrier, they might begin to realize the incredible level of incompetence of his administration, and embrace a more realistic view.

    Bu...bu...bu...but DEMOCRATS!!

    More deflection, but I'll respond: I don't see them acting that way. As a matter of fact many admit he was a one-mission man, and that mission was fulfilled when he got Trump out of the office. Biden was never an inspiring leader, he has always been the guy who works behind the curtains to get things done, - like a perpetual VP or cabinet member.

    Of course, some are always lacking in depth and will follow the lead of the pied pipers.

    I look at what has resulted from the Biden presidency- and what it confirms is that Biden was never a competent leader or statesman or manager, he's been a yes-man, a play it safe, a political puppet being whatever would keep him in office despite the lack of capacity. Third-rate politician. IF we set the bar where it should be for political office- there would be no third-rate people; you would either do the job right and honorably, or you wouldn't be there. Of course, Biden is like a burned out candle at this point; never was a bright light, but now more like flickering swamp gas. We deserve and need far better people in politics than we have- it's the tolerance of mediocrity that allows this to continue. If we don't fix that, it will destroy this nation.

    You have very selective ears, I guess.

    One poster that is for sale displays the head of Obama, which fades into a graphic of an open Bible with the word “Barak” highlighted. Above Obama is the headline “Prophesy Fulfilled.” To the left of the image, the poster reads, “Barak is of Hebrew origin and its meaning is ‘flash of lightning.’ Barak is a valiant fighting man who cooperated with the prophetess Deborah to win victory in a battle against overwhelming odds. Hussein [means] good and handsome. So, you see, Barak was destined to be a good and handsome man that would rise like a flash of lightning to win victory in a battle against overwhelming odds.”


    T-shirts are also being sold by vendors that cite Psalm 110:1, which says, “The Lord said unto my Lord, ‘Sit Thou at My right hand until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.'” The graphic on the tees depict Barack Obama sitting in a chair, placing his feet upon the back of Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who is kneeling on his hands and feet.


    Additionally, delegates and attendees can purchase Obama calendars, which use Scripture for each month of the year to point to Obama as a messiah. For example, in the month of August, Obama’s birth month, accompanying a photo of Obama are the words “Heaven Sent” with the Scripture John 3:16, which speaks of God sending His Son. The month of November features a graphic of citizens laying hands on Obama while quoting Psalm 23:1, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”

    You missed the thing with a the Grecian columns and bullshit the first time around? But no you didn't treat him like Christ you treated him like a damn god and worse you called the rest of us racist for any and all legitimate policy disagreements.

    Cool beans, but your opinion of Biden has nothing to do with the topic (topic = warning against equating Trump with Christ).

    Are his apologists treating him like a messiah? Yes. You can always find people who were infatuated with presidents, be it Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Bush and they adored them, but what we are seeing now is a totally different ball park. We have millions of apologists who'll wrap themselves in flags bearing his name or face, and they will say and do anything to show their loyalty and some went as far as assaulting the Capitol and ending up in prison for their leader. Personally I have never witnessed anything that comes anywhere closed to what we are seeing today.

    This is the problem I have with the Republican Party today. They have thrown their conservative ideals, ideology out the window to follow a man who is basically devoid of a political ideology or philosophy. The 7-time party switcher has a long history of adopting whichever political philosophy of the party he belonged to at the time. But has never developed one of his own. Those who follow Trump aren’t conservatives, but a man worshiper. We don’t have a conservative party anymore, unless one looks toward the Libertarians. There are very few lifelong traditional conservatives left in the GOP, most have been thrown under the bus by Trump followers for sticking to their traditional conservative values. Today, true traditional conservatives have no political party to call home.

    Trumpism doesn't evolve. It was a cult from the beginning, (except here)

    When people act in a certain way it is not unreasonable to suppose their thoughts agree

    So you posted four weird books. But I guess Newsweek is a weird magazine.

    You can't say, because there are none of us "exhibiting cult like behavior".
