I'm gonna play devils advocate one more time. Why then if we can overlook behavior because of policy does the right rail against hunter biden and joe biden and Ukraine? None of that was policy but somehow this corruption matters. Whybdiesnt trumps corruption matter? Why doesn't his children receive the same scrutiny over their personal enrichment off the government get any bashing by the right.

I asked a question months ago........where is the red line in the sand for your support of trump.

I would say since the leftist news media constantly bashes the right and doesn't scrutinize the left then the way the right balances this out is by attacking the opposing side... or politics as they call it. This is nothing new and has been going on for thousands of years, especially when you study various historical periods like the Roman empire and other ones. Backstabbing, double standards, making the other side look bad, etc are all part of the political game (even though I disagree with it). It is part of human nature, has always existed in politics and always will. It's an ugly game and why I personally hate politics.

For me I will support Trump in 2020 so long as he continues with the same policies that he has. If he were to start changing his policies then I would reexamine things at that time but I don't see that happening. I think he has done a solid job with pushing through the policies he campaigned on and there are some key areas I want to see him continue pushing changes through with 4 more years. I want to see our dependency on China shift away (especially the medical side of things), the judicial system shaped with additional judges who will uphold the constitution and should a SC vacancy arise a good candidate for that, strong economy, religious freedom, and anti-abortion to name a few. I think he's the person that can get that stuff done and I don't see Biden or his VP nominee having the same policies. Those are policies I view as quite important in a political leader no matter the letter beside their name.
 
LOL Trump isn't going to shut down Twitter, first off it would be ridiculously hard for him to do so, second Trump would not be able to function without his daily tweet rants.....but his base will eat this stuff up.....but as a rule Twitter as a private company can filter or censor the content on their site however they want.....if you don't like it don't use the site or its services....

Please. Everyone knows Twitter, Youtube, FB along with other social media and news outlets all act authoritarian. Just like Harris saying Wuhan and China virus are hate speech. It’s not just Trump but that’s right it’s all trumps fault.

Agree 100%. Just like not wearing a mask. Don’t like wearing one don’t. If a store or place of business requires it. Then I-support that. Just don’t go in those places. As for being outdoors no one should be forced to.

And I did not vote for him. Why then should I vote for Trump?Why would any evangelical vote for Trump when they condemned Clinton for the very same behavior (sexual sin)? Evangelicals went so far as to say Clinton was unfit for office. But somehow its ok to vote for Trump? That’s the height of hypocrisy if you ask me.

You have to understand, "for all have sinned". I vote for the person who will be the best for my way of life. I don't expect to have a sinless president. I don't look to him for my spiritual guidance. That job belongs to my pastor. Come on folks

No. They are private companies that can censor what they see fit. Same as this or any other forum.

As usual you miss the larger point and refuse to answer the question asked.

No. They are quite clearly and rightfully tagging a false post by trump as false. The fact yall will believe whatever he posts is why they have to do that.

Please. They also remove anything that is against Biden and other liberals. Especially FB. I don’t read his tweets. I look at what he does for economy. What he says are just words. No different than the Chinese President threats. Words until proven otherwise.

I did not vote for Clinton. For me I don’t vote for if they are a better Christian than the other. The presidency is not about being a Christian. It’s about who is best to support freedoms and Capitalism and no matter what faith one is. If Christians have to start voting for the one that is an example of Christ. Then there is no one. Not one to even vote for.

This is a fundamental shift in how evangelicals have acted though. and we all know its because all of a sudden the Republican in office is a lying, cheating , immoral idiot......remember when the evangelicals called for Clinton to be removed for being immoral...so lets not pretend that the evangelicals didnt in fact judge previous presidents on moral behavior to the point they saw it as a reason to not vote for that person. So this attitude is hypocritical at best.

Zirpoli: Support for Trump exposes hypocrisy of evangelicals

It has been interesting to listen to some self-described evangelical Christians defend their love and loyalty for President Donald Trump. All of a sudden, because their guy is a scoundrel, being a …

After President Bill Clinton’s infidelity, the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention passed the “Resolution on Moral Character of Public Officials” declaring that a person’s “moral character matters” and that Americans should not vote for candidates who do not “demonstrate consistent honesty, moral purity, and the highest character.”

During the Clinton impeachment, the Religion News Services found that 60% of evangelicals believed that immoral personal acts disqualified a person from public office. Since Trump, however, this number has dropped to 20 percent. This data confirms that evangelicals have significantly adjusted their standards of moral behavior in response to Trump. The study found that only 6% of white evangelicals were even “concerned” about Trump’s personal behavior. And an American Barometer poll published in The Hill found that a majority of Republicans (54 percent) believed that Trump represented Republican Party values.

Well freedoms as you deem fit. I'm sure those freedoms exclude abortion rights, medicinal and recreational maryJane, right to die or dr assisted suicide freedons, gay marriage, gay adoption, and transgendered freedom to use restroom of their choice.
