The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

As to the content, it was obviously written for him and didn't sound like him at all. Hardly no Trump adjectives except a "tremendous" here and there.
I think the content was nothing new. Same thing he has been saying before about needing security at the border, how innocent people are dying because of the criminals and drugs getting across the border. How the criminals are using children as a method to get across the border.
I disagree with Carp about any lies. Trump was giving his opinion and view on the matter. That isn't lying any more than it is for Carp to give his views here on Tweb. We can disagree with opinions but that isn't lying. I am sick and tired of people calling someone's view a "lie" just because they don't agree with it.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostThere's no doubt that Obama excelled at reading from a teleprompter. His problem is that he turned into a stumbling bumbling mess whenever he didn't have one. Trump, on the other hand, is very good at giving extemporaneous speeches. I was backstage recently at an event where Trump spoke, and what fascinated me is how little he depended on the prompter. He would read a line or two and then go off on a tangent for several minutes before returning to the script.
Here's a marvelous example:

In other news, Elizabeth "Fauxahontas" Warren sent each of them a thank you note for helping people forget her nauseatingly condescending and patronizing "Hold on a sec, I'm gonna get me a beer" shtick.

The point in my post was different. There is no hysteria and there is no way to justify the claim that "Calling opinions "lies" has been how the left has kept up their spittle flecked "Trump Lied!!!1!!" hysteria." There is so much more to it than that. Statements like "alternative facts" and "truth isn't truth" speak their own language. You can easily see that Trump is a liar without having to call opinions lies."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing."
