You're missing th hole point of the Gospel. Jesus died, was burid and rose again to forgive peope who trusted in for forgiveness of past sins. It's God who judges, not us.


God forgave Paul and used him in great minestry after he had killed many, many Jewish believers In Jesus.


I don't know if Trump has. Only Gog Knows. His current actions seem good to me though.

Easy Peasy, can I answer this?

I am going to anyway...

....The alternative must be have been really so bad to vote for, oh hold on, it was.

But Oh Hugh, showing your chips on shoulder again. Your questions are so retro and mundane. :rolleyes:

I'm worried Mr Bat, did someone arrive at your door with some Good News and you let them in???
Mohammad is a good bloke too allegedly but I don't believe in him either. Him and God have a lot to answer for given the World's conflicts. All we need is the Donald stirring it all up too at every opportunity, to deflect from his own defects/failures. Israel is the only country who thinks he's great (or say it), so that maybe explains his policy of supporting an invasion of someone else's land.

Has Trump been in power that long? IE Since 1995?
Quote:

That decision, which experts fear will spark unrest throughout the Arab world, represents the conclusion of a process that began in 1995, with the passage of that year’s Jerusalem Embassy Act. The law required the U.S. to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by a set deadline, but conceded that the move could be put off for six months at a time as long as the President “determines and reports to Congress in advance that such suspension is necessary to protect the national security interests of the United States.”
Quote:

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Each sovereign nation, under international law and
custom, may designate its own capital.
(2) Since 1950, the city of Jerusalem has been the capital
of the State of Israel.

(3) The city of Jerusalem is the seat of Israel’s President,
Parliament, and Supreme Court, and the site of numerous
government ministries and social and cultural institutions.

Might have missed something here but Passingbat wasn't replying to you initially so whilst you, like me, might not be religious, I think it's a bit unfair to say he was preaching to you and I don't see why he can't say what he did in a 'public forum'. :shrug:

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 
It's official now anyway.

No idea on the impact of this to be honest. I think maybe Trump should have had this as a carrot in return for a concession from Israel, i.e stop building settlements, but not sure how likely that would have been.

So things we have learned about you so far, is that you're anti-democratic and that you think it's now ok to abandon legislation signed in to law ?

I've not mentioned anything about ignoring a law. And wanting Brexit not to happen is not undemocratic it's just sensible given the impossibility of having an open border with Ireland but not following the EU's standards in Northern Ireland. But that's another debate. :)

The solution is not impossible, so yes it is undemocratic to wanting a democratic decision stopped. You have been wanting the decision overturned, long before the Ireland issue cropped up.

BREAKING: House Judiciary Committee have urgently convened a hearing with Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein to discuss the concerns regarding Special Counsel Robert Meuller’s investigations in to Russian interference in last years U.S Election.

The Chairman of the Committee raises the following concerns:

Quote:

Chairman Goodlatte: “I am very troubled by the recent controversy surrounding staff assigned to the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in last year’s presidential election. For example, one investigator allegedly has been removed from the special counsel’s team for sending anti-Trump texts. He is also believed to have played a key role in the Clinton investigation, which allowed her and her associates to go unpunished for their use of a private email server to send and receive classified information. Another prosecutor, who remains on the special counsel’s team, has expressed views opposing President Trump’s agenda.

“Next week, Members of the House Judiciary Committee will have the opportunity to ask Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein about these developments since he is tasked with overseeing the special counsel’s investigation. We look forward to hearing from Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein on the many issues facing the Justice Department and on answers to the many questions Members have regarding issues before the Department.”
The hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday at 10AM D.C time. Hearing is public.

Which was obvious at the time. Bills get introduced to the House every day many of which never get to the floor. People get too bothered about specific bills.

Can't see that doing much. A guy was fired by Meuller for spending the texts as a result of Meuller's own due diligence. Sounds like he is behaving how someone leading an investigation should.

Yes but this is different. Articles have been created before, this is the first time a vote has been forced on the House floor.

Not just a few texts, 10,000 texts are being examined.

There is significant credibility issues, that’s the reason for the hearing being convened. Mueller kept the information from the Congressional Investigation Committee about the FBI agent who he fired, for months.

As it stands, this FBI investigator, Peter Strzok, who was heavily and politically biased towards Hillary Clinton. Changed the wording of the final language used by former Director James Comey, in her investigation from ‘grossly negligent’ to ‘extremely careless’ and that’s significant because the initial categorisation, carries criminal ramifications.

He also Interviewed Flynn, before he was fired from the Russia probe.

So yes, he was fired, but not before he played key roles in various investigations and that information withheld from Congressional Investigators, until now.

In other news, Democratic Senator, Al Franken is due to announce today, he is resigning, after more revelations of his sexual misconduct towards women.

Even so though it was a bill destined to fail. I am surprised it got as far as a vote.

It's bad for the agent in question and maybe the Clinton probe, I've not looked into the actual detail, but from I've seen the Meuller investigation will largely be ok. Unless it gives Trump the pretense to fire him.

Doug Jones, The Democrat, won in Alabama. Big surprise even with the allegations against Moore. It seems that in addition to that a large black turnout won it for Jones as Moore's base support still turned out for him.

Still, Republicans are still winning with 5 out of 7 races won over the Democrats, who have spent fortunes on these races.

.8% of a win over someone with accusations of a sexual conduct towards a miner, is piss poor, should be a landslide for any opponent.

The Writeins won it. (People who voted earlier on more like when the allegations were coming to light).

I read One accuser admitting to forging a year book.

Moore either way was bad choice, had ancient and backwards policies, he should have made way for a more viable candidate.

I now expect serial groper while women sleep, Democrat, Al Frankenstein, will now resign, it was suspected he was hanging on to see if Moore won a Senate seat.

But these are largely Republican districts (let's leave aside Alabama because special circumstances). If these results were to be projected nationally, i.e the swing was consistent, the Democrats would win congress easily.

It is but says more about how partisan politics is. This is very safe Republican seat, no democrat has held any national office in the state for 23 years I believe.

Not necessarily, Democrats have 25 Seats to defend Mid terms, Republicans have 10, 2 of these look shakey.

In my view he should have resigned. You are innocent until proven guilty. But he should have known that with unresolved accusation hanging over him, it would impact the vote. As a polititian, he should have put his party first and resigned, got the acusations fully investigated, and if cleared, stand again later.

Yes in the coming mid-terms it's not an easy ground for them but my point is that the Democrats have largely done well in these votes. It just so happens they're largely in red states rather than contested ones.

Quote:

Well let's see, it will be hard for him to back out given he has publically announced his intentions at the request of his own party.

Well, considering for all this century the Republicans have won this seat with a 30% majority, most people would consider a 31% swing in a very safe Republican state not too shabby...

Re the "forgery", Fox News withdrew that statement...

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/36...rgery-headline
Quote:

A since-deleted tweet on the official Fox News twitter account had read, “BREAKING NEWS: Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama senate candidate.”

Fox News has since updated the story with a note at the bottom of the piece while removing any references to “forgery” in it.

"An update to this story reflects that Beverly Young Nelson admits writing what ABC News characterized as 'notes' beneath what she says is Roy Moore’s signature, and that the only notes below the signature are the date and location.

"Furthermore, the headline on [the] story now specifies that Nelson admits to writing part of the inscription herself, rather than forging part of it."
Franken’s replacement has been chosen.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D) on Wednesday named Lt. Gov. Tina Smith (D) to fill Sen. Al Franken's (D-Minn.) soon-to-be vacated Senate seat.

Smith said she intends to run in November 2018 to complete the remaining two years of Franken's term.

"It is up to Minnesotans to decide who they want to complete Senator Franken's term. I will run in that election, and I will do my best to earn Minnesotans support. And I believe the way to do that is to be the best senator I can be," Smith said.

Still following the liberal media like a lost sheep I see. :rolleyes:

Though had it been the Crooked witch as President, given her posturing with Russia (They also we’re preparing for war in the event of her winning) we might not be here. She was blatantly threatening to impose a complete no fly zone over Syria, which would have pissed off Russia, we’d probably be dragged in to a nuclear conflict. Even Independent candidates, who were no fan of Trump, said they thought Hillary was a war monger.

Anyway, all the stuff coming out about Fusion GPS, and how the Democrats and Crooked Hillary paid for the fake Russian Dossier during last years election, embroiled the FBI at the time under the Obama Administration, created this fictional Dossier, to spy on Americans, mainly the people in Trumps inner circle. This is far worse than Watergate!

And an FBI supervisor, sending text messages to his lover, regarding his complete disdain for Trump and how he cannot allow him to get elected, thought he was some super James Bond agent, on a mission to get Crooked Hillary elected, changed the wording to remove any criminal intent during her investigation that he was in charge of, of course was not that simple and he failed to stop Americans electing Trump. This is the real scandal, and the DOJ needs to get its act together and start issuing indictments to the real collusion suspects going on here, to stop Trump getting elected.

At least 30 Senators who have congressional oversight of the Department of Justice, want a Second Special Counsel, to Investigate the investigators in the Meuller team, who of about 9 out of 16, have substantially contributed to the Clinton campaign and or Clinton Foundation.

Trump said on the campaign trail, He does not like Nuclear weapons and would prefer a nuclear free world, but when you got the likes of Russia, North Korea, building their weapons systems up.

l don't follow or support any particular side of the media as l make my own mind up out of my own volition and personally there are already more then enough weapons to blow up the world quite a few times over so IMO its a complete waste of money that should be spent on far more important things in America.

That maybe because there is chatter of Voter fraud, specifically that an additional 200,000 Democrat voters may have crossed State lines to illegally vote and in some instances vote more than once, in this special Alabama elections. As I say it is just chatter, but I would not put it past Democrats to play dirty here, they are good at doing such a thing, given their actions with the Fusion GPS Dossier.

It does not help their case when Democrat voters admit to doing such a thing on Live TV News, just watch the end, a black voter admits to voting a couple of times and the news interviewer says that probably illegal, it so is!:

I can put your mind to rest - the chatter that 200,000 extra voters crossed State boundaries to illegally vote in the Alabama election is just that - chatter, and ill-informed chatter at that.

How do you keep 200,000 people from talking about doing this? How do you get them there to vote - by bus? It would take about 4,000 buses/coaches to get them there, at around 50 people per bus (and how do you stop the 4,000 bus drivers, and the companies that hire the buses, talking about it?).

Also, wouldn't they have had to go to polling stations where Moore voters wouldn't have noticed a bunch of buses with strangers in them turning up?

Alabama has strict ID laws for voting, so they would have had to show valid Alabama ID (such as Alabama Photo Voter ID, Alabama driver's licence, US passport, student or employee ID at a college or university in Alabama, or military ID), and, most importantly, be already registered to vote.

So in summary, for this chatter to be true, you would need 200,000 out of state voters, 4,000 buses, all recruited and hired secretly, no witnesses, no leaks, with false Alabama ID, with the false Alabama ID already registered on the Alabama Electoral system, and them voting in dozens of stations without being noticed.

Wouldn't it have been easier to hack the voting machines?

How does one person, who could have been a college kid come home to "vote and canvas" (as he said on the interview) equate to 200,000 - how do you explain the ID and registration required to vote for the 200,000?

Did you not hear what he said?

He said he and his fellowship, could that be 10, 20, 200, or 2,000 or even 20,000 come across State lines to vote.

Looking more and more like a sham, no wonder Moore will not concede, he's had unproven allegations made against him and now been robbed in an illegitimate race, due to Democrat voters in other parts of the Country, cheating (again) and voting illegally. :rolleyes:

Or he came to canvas and other people voted? He just phrased it badly in the interview. Seems the most likely considering as Hugh said it would be hard for people to vote without legal ID (and even then you are checked against a register so they would need to know names of people on the role who aren't going to vote!).

Just to be clear though you're saying Moore actually won but lost because of 200,000 illegal votes based on the wording on one person talking to a camera?

I really don't see the point in these discussions anymore.

I do not condone cheating, but I am still trying to understand how 200,000 fake voters got on to the Alabama register, how 200,000 sets of false ID came to be, and how nobody noticed that 1 in 7 of the voters were fake?

btw, he used the words "and canvas" after vote - it’s quite common in the US for college students who are studying in other States to go back to their home state to vote, canvas, and "pitch in".

I think there is two things with that video:

1) His phasing is vague enough to suggest he came down to canvas and the group he is talking about consisted of people who legally voted too. It's unlikely he is admitting to a crime on television after all.

2) Even if he did one person is not evidence of 200,000 illegal votes. If that makes it a sham then Trump's election itself was a sham: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entr...b0d5b458eacb54

In reality one or two incidents of voter fraud do not amount to systematic voter fraud.

August 15, 2016, Strzok tells Page: "I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office" -- an apparent reference to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe -- "that there's no way he gets elected -- but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40 . . . . "

Well no but the people in Alabama causing this ‘chatter’ can. Someone should be able to prove it if 200,000 voted illegally, it would be by far the largest incidence of voter fraud in either the US or U.K.

As Hugh said there are either 200,000 people whose votes were stolen or 200,000 people fraudulently added to the electoral lists over the last few months. Someone has produced that many fake IDs too.

Seems to be a pattern from those on the nutty right to call fraud, fake, every time there is an election result they don't like.

It happened in the UK General election, when students had the cheek to actually vote and the Tories didn't like it !

At the US election Trump was calling fraud and wasn't going to accept the result if he lost, however when he won, suddenly the election is legitimate ! 200k fraudulent voters in Alabama is laughable. Trump's days are numbered and he'll soon be lame duck President. His support amongst moderate Republicans is collapsing.

Doubtless there is some isolated cases of fraud but it happens on all sides. Indeed the Conservative MP for South Thanet is due a day in court soon, on election fiddling charges.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
 
Love to bet with you Mr Banana but I don't trust the Democrats to play a straight race, they do not know how to. Politics is too dirty in America, for me to feel secured about placing any bet.

Latest on this Peter Strzok scandal: The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to the FBI on Thursday that shows the multiple edits to Comey’s highly scrutinized exoneration statement for Hillary Clinton, during last years FBI Criminal Investigation of her unsecured private email server in which she sent and received classified material, in which she was conveniently cleared of all wrong doing.

In an early draft, Then FBI Director, Comey said it was “reasonably likely” that “hostile actors” gained access to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account. That was changed later to say the scenario was merely “possible.”

Another edit showed language was changed to describe the actions of Clinton and her colleagues as “extremely careless” as opposed to “grossly negligent.” This is a key legal difference because the change is a massive watering down of the FBI's initial findings.

In the initial drafted FBI report, it clearly identified that Hillary Clinton broke the law and such a charge would have prevented her candidacy for President in the U.S Election in 2016.

Now, there is nothing wrong with making edits here and there in a draft, but changing categorizations, which either means exoneration or indictments, is serious, given that the key person responsible for those edits, was aggressively Anti-Trump and had a very, 'I'm with her' bias, when it came to supporting Hillary Clinton, that key person was Peter Strzok, who was the same FBI agent who sent the damning, 'Insurance Policy' if Trump was elected' text message.

Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, testified on Wednesday and hinted that it is possible to re-open the Clinton FBI email investigation, if it is deemed appropriate to do so but is waiting on a full report being conducted by the Inspector General, before deciding on this decision further. This is the same IG who discovered the text messages by Peter Strzok, to his mistress, Lisa Page.

Looks like the real collusion going on here, is the FBI aligning itself with the Democrats and Clinton campaign. :rolleyes:

The Trump hate comes from rich globalists who hate Trump because of his belief in National Sovereignty. They finance anti Trump news outlets such as CNN and indirectly, finance anti Trump marches. That is the reason that such news outlets get to Attend such events as Bilderberg and Bohemian Grove.

That wasn't a poll. It was a calculation the NY Times 'Upshot' statistical model came up. Incidentally 90% means there is still 1 in 10 chance something will happen. 1 in 10 is nowhere near an impossible possibility.

But anyway as I said that wasn't a poll. The actual popular vote polling had:

Clinton: 46.8
Trump: 43.6

A Clinton lead of 3.2%.

The actual results were:

Clinton: 48.2
Trump: 46.1

A Clinton lead of 2.1%.

So the popular vote average of polls was only 1% out....

It's not baseless though, Presidential approval numbers have been used for 50+ years, and whilst polling can be inaccurate it's the best metric we have until the next election. Certainly better than assumption or anecdote.

I’m not making any predictions yet, too early plus too much going on in background to get him ousted.

Trump was never meant to win and given these latest text revelations, it suggests, there is/was a plan, especially with this insurance policy that a FBI agent talks about, in a text message to his mistress, if he does get elected.

Yet this is the current latest proposed changes to the bill... So I do not see the above being very accurate.
  • First, for single Individuals:
  • 10%: $0 to $9,525 of taxable income for an individual
  • 12%: $9,526 to $38,700 individual
  • 22%: $38,701 to $82,500 individual
  • 24%: $82,501 to $157,500 individual
  • 32%: $157,501 to $200,000 individual
  • 35%: $200,001 to $500,000 individual
  • 37%: over $500,000 individual

    And second, for joint filers:
  • 10%: $0 to $19,050 for married joint filers
  • 12%: $19,051 to $77,400 joint
  • 22%: $77,401 to $165,000 joint
  • 24%: $165,001 to $315,000 joint
  • 32%: $315,001 to $400,000 joint
  • 35%: $400,001 to $600,000 joint
  • 37%: Over $600,000 joint

Under the final version of Republican plan, there would still be seven federal income tax brackets. The brackets proposed are 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%.

---------- Post added at 22:40 ---------- Previous post was at 22:05 ----------

  • First, for single Individuals:
  • 10%: $0 to $9,525 of taxable income for an individual (Currently 10% up to $9,325)
  • 12%: $9,526 to $38,700 individual (Currently 15% $9,326 to $37,950)
  • 22%: $38,701 to $82,500 individual (Currently 25% $37,951 to $91,900)
  • 24%: $82,501 to $157,500 individual (Currently 28% $91,901 to $191,650)
  • 32%: $157,501 to $200,000 individual (Currently 33% $191,651 to $416,700)
  • 35%: $200,001 to $500,000 individual (Currently 35% $416,701 to $418,400)
  • 37%: over $500,000 individual (Currently 39.6% $418,401 or more)

So as you can see I have put in the brackets what the current tax brackets are.

If low earner was on $9,500 a year on the current system, they would be in the 15% Income tax bracket. On the new plan, they would not, they would be in the 10% bracket and save $475 in income tax a year.

From the video pip linked to, it's not about the tax bands but about the tax rate applied to dividends. So, if you own the company, it's better to take out money from it in dividends rather than to pay yourself a salary. This is how high earners benefit from the tax changes.

But that is still misleading to say the GOP tax bill does not benefit the lower paid worker, who doesn’t have dividends, when it does.

The US rightly vetoes UN Counsel to rescind declaration of recognition of Jerusalem Capital of Israel, telling no country will tell the U.S where it can place is Embassy.

If Trump can get new supporters to replace his blue collar base then he may be ok for another term but at the moment I can't see him lasting another term.

Tax reform bill hits snag after House says it will need to revote
The Republican march towards tax cuts hit a hitch on Tuesday as the House of Representatives announced it would have to vote for a second time on the bill just hours after passing it.
Soon after the first House vote, the bill ran into trouble in the Senate, where two provisions fell afoul of that chamber’s strict budget rules, forcing their removal before the senators could proceed, according to a Republican aide.
If the Senate passes the bill in modified form on Tuesday night, it will return to the House for re-approval on Wednesday.
The problematic provisions concerned college savings accounts and an exemption for some universities from an endowment tax.
