POTUS urges supporters to cheat

Post #1

Post by Athetotheist »

By now you've probably seen the clip in which the POTUS had a crowd raise their right hands and pledge to cheat when voting in the midterms, accusing his party's opposition of doing the same with no evidence.

How can anyone who claims to be Christian be comfortable with that?

Strawman?
I never suggested 'a wink and a fistbump'.

You didn't even attempt to answer the questions.

How do think citizenship should be verified? Wink and a fistbump?
I did indeed answer the question. Citizenship should be verified affordably.

If the right to vote is worth something, then it's entirely appropriate to cost something. Like that Costco membership.
Shopping at Costco is a business transaction. Voting is, as you said, a right.

Did you even look at the article I linked to?

You haven't explained what business someone who pardoned people who assaulted police officers on Jan. 6 has joking about encouraging people to cheat to vote.

This is just an opinion because in politics there is nothing you can take for granted, but i feel pretty certain about it:

There is not a single president in the US that got to that position morally "clean"

There are no good guys at that level
