    Yep, they've been making that fact quite clear.

      You make an excellent point, it is not "obviously gross and likely illegal".

      But how is your response not an attack? Do you really think that such a post would not be seen as an attack if it was directed at any number of persons here?

        You really must enjoy looking so hard for something to get upset and offended over.

            Maybe you could enlighten me as to what you consider an attack. Is Lilpixie's post an attack or not?

            Or is it not an attack because it was aimed at an atheist?

                  1) Were the Vindman swamp-rats actually "fired," or merely "reassigned"? It has often been pointed out that it is easier to divorce a spouse than to actually "fire" a government employee.

                  2) Since the entire power of the Executive branch is ultimately solely vested in POTUS, I can't imagine how any law could Constitutionally prevent him from firing or reassigning any subordinates, for any reason or no reason. POTUS has the right -- and responsibility -- to surround himself with people he believes he can trust.

                  3) As I understand it, the lesser-known Twindman was of similar mind-set to his bro, but was less noisy about it. Even if that were not known, Bad Orange Man was wise to *assume* it, and to clean him out with the rest of the muck. Buh-bye.

                    An excellent response to the post which asks what constitutes an attack, and even asks if the Christian, Rogue, believes that attack has any objective meaning, or if it is entirely subjective and morally relative.

                    It certainly appears to be rooted in the morally relative worldview!

                        Trumps lack of decency is like a plague. And most of the Christian's on this site have caught it.

                          He's a successful politician. Of course he's not decent and polite to his enemies. A lot of people seem to appreciate that he 'fights back' against the Democrats who insult and demean them. At leas the basket of deplorables, those bitter clingers-on have someone who fires back.

                          Most of the posters. Yourself included, bro. Can't fix the problem if you're determined to be part of it.

                            Lilpixie does that kind of thing to everyone who has a serious disagreement with her. You're no-one special.

                              in other words, it is accepted as part of the culture, routine for Tweb. Hmmm, I wonder if cow poke et al., also think it is an accepted part of tweb?

                                And just what do I think in this matter?

                                An "attack on people who say ignorant things" on a a matter concerning the military (which relatively few are familiar with is accepted.

                                When someone says ignorant things on the faith, which Christian ARE familiar with, then the strong language which is seen as an attack in off limits..........except when done by certain Christians..............
