Twoothy,

Has it ever occurred to you that what you are citing is Congress putting unconstitutional conditions on the executive?

This is a pretty good historical review of this issue (it's in 2 parts):

The FBI is part of the executive branch. So, Constitutionally, POTUS can fire executive employees. Now, such firings can be regarded as sufficiently corrupt to warrant impeachment, which is a political remedy.

If anyone wants to argue POTUS can't fire people serving in the Executive branch then you are acknowledging this country truly has a 4th branch of government.

Eff off. You supported far worse from the last administration.

I absolutely have a problem with the release of the transcript being compelled.

OTOH, basic journalistic standards would demand that the full transcript be released prior to the election.

Piss off. He makes zero room for the concept of principled disagreement, engages in nonstop histrionics and treats his opinions as absolute fact. He makes JPW appear humble by comparison.

Since Biden had open border policies and skyrocketed the flood of illegal aliens, by Twoothy's "logic and morality" were his daughter to be raped and killed like Laken Riley I should laugh uproariously at his grief. Of course I would never do that but shoe on the other foot he certainly would and he's made that abundantly clear. Because, according to him, the mere election of Donald Trump translates to a shortage of cancer treatment.

Of course, that remains to be seen, but Twoothy regards his own predictions as gospel and as if they already happened. So, even if empirical evidence doesn't support it was we move forward he's decreed not only that it will happen, but that it's already happened.

But then, this is Twoothy we are dealing with.

" Where do I call for loving everyone equally?"

You are claiming Christianity does when it doesn't. "Equally" is not found in the scripture you are citing to try and smear Vance and all Christians, by proxy.

You define "morality" as a conformity to your political and social advocacies.

It's beyond immature, but here we are.

" BTW, I neither practice nor despise Christianity. At all."

Good for you. My comment was directed at Danforth and Twoothy.

Danforth,

In this case Vance is correct. But if THIS is the hill you all want to die on, be my guest. BTW, he's stating the obvious. Do you love your wife more than you do the waiter who serves you breakfast on Sundays?

How about you, Twoothy? Do you love your daughter more than the guy who lives next door?

We all know the answer so can we dispense with this hypocrisy crap, especially since you all despise Christianity?

" Face it ---- head your soul is gunk." -Twoothy

Of your daughter were to get cancer and die, I'd be mortified and would feel terrible for you and my instinct would be to offer sincere condolences. I wouldn't though and I'll explain why ... .

Of my wife were to get cancer and die you'd laugh uproariously because you want to taste the tears of my grief.

So I wouldn't offer you condolences because you'd somehow construe it the same way -me being ------------ over your grief.

Marinate on that and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Twoothy,

Your ignorance is astounding. I'll phrase it another way, even your simplified and hyper-literal interpretation of cherry-picked interpretation of scripture doesn't mandate that the degree of love between children, friends and enemies be equal.

Love doesn't work that way. But you think you've found some BS talking point to bash Vance. I'd love to see you try to debate that guy over the issue with cameras rolling.

Or similarly with a Catholic bishop. You'd get destroyed very quickly and would go into your usual petulant blood-rage because it's all you know how to do when challenged. You make JPW seem like the most modest person on the planet and that is truly remarkable.

#49. "Illegal alien" is a term codified into our legal code.

" The one consistent throughline of the jesus myth is loving others, turning the cheek, love your enemies, love your neighbors, helping the outcasts, the poor, the sick. There was no hierarchy in that love, that is, simply put, the exact opposite of what jesus supposedly preached. "

None of it says love thy neighbor MORE than thy children. You hate ALL organized religion but especially hate Christianity and more so Catholicism.

You have no clue what you are talking about when you simplify scripture down to such simplicities. Perhaps schedule an interview with a local bishop and present it the way you've dumbed it down?

Do better.

Dems have more billionaire donors and it's not even close

" ---- you ----, take it up with jesus, Vance is ignoring his plain language teachings you ignorant ----

You don't know squat about Catholicism. You cherry pick passages, take them as literally as possible to suit your narrative and ignore the rest. If the Bible was a literal document there would be no need for the Catholic Church.

Here is a well respected black man's take on black history month.

Twoothy is incapable of having a discussion without going into an absolute blood rage. It's like a little kid throwing a temper tantrum.
*****
To the best of my r3collection, Remain in Mexico, which was and is a forced deportation, never faced any serious legal challenges from the left. And if any legal challenges were initiated (again, I don't recall any) they lost in court. Also, notice, Democrats have been relatively quiet about Trump's current deportations.

Here is the link

Twoothy,

Scroll down to Table 1 in the link and look at the numbers. I will consider ceding your argument if you can show that all of those deportees received due process in court.

You can't because deep down you know you are FOS on this and your take is driven by TDS.

Correct. First 48 hours are always suspect.

Again, only if they are being prosecuted. Deportation is not prosecution.

Only in Twoothy's world Vance saying he loves his kids more than other people's kids is reprehensible behavior and hypocritical.

#26. I didn't bring up criminals. I was pointing out that the government doesn't first need to go to court and get an injunction from a judge in order to deport.

You realize that many immigrants are being deported without due process, right?

If they were being prosecuted for a crime - yes. Doesn't apply to deportations.
