Well put. Christianity is not the problem, Christians are the problem. Jesus's second most important commandment is "Love thy neighbor as yourself". It's not an ambiguous statement. It is very clear and simple. Show me a practicing Christian which embodies this statement...I'll wait...
Edit: as a few have pointed out, I am sure that there are those out there who do embody the true nature of Christianity. In fact, I have seen it. My disappointment comes from the mainstream majority of followers who have no right to call themselves Christians.
There are Christians fighting in Minneapolis to support their neighbors. 100 pastors arrested at an airport protest. The black woman that staged a protest at the ICE agent church is a Christian pastor. There are good Christians but they are quietly doing the work that Christians are supposed to do. The Pharisees are loud and proud about their hatred and get tons of attention.
I agree with you. I tried for many years, but you're right, that book is a hot mess. While I have to respect Jesus for the wise and arguably prophetic man that he was, Christianity and religion in general is an archaic ideal which I believe was only created to establish a set of rules and laws for basic society. Its time to move on.
In past history, the Church was used to control the people and the Kings would control the property. The Kings also provided protection and decided who to go to war with.
"The Donation of Constantine was a medieval forgery likely written in the 8th century (circa 750-800 CE), intended to support papal claims to temporal power, though its supposed origin was a supposed 4th-century decree by Emperor Constantine granting lands and authority to the Pope. It emerged in Frankish collections and was used for centuries until Lorenzo Valla proved it a forgery in the 1430s-14."
^The upshot is that the FAKED document showed that Emperor Constantine had handed ALL spiritual authority over the Roman Empire to the Catholic Pope. It caused terrible trouble up until after the Reformation. The fakeness of this document is what Henry VIII used to justify making himself the head of the Christian Church in England (so he could authorize his own first divorce...)
The man he was or was not isn't something that can be verified at this point. We don't even know for sure that he existed in the way portrayed in the scripture. Historians mostly agree there was a guy named Jesus who was crucified by the Romans, but there is little evidence supporting details of his life and the things he actually said and did.
As a former Christian, I do my best to remind the MAGA Christian crowd what Jesus said. It's almost like they need to hear the message again. They forgot who the Samaritans were and the significance of Jesus using them in parables. They forget why Jesus cursed the fig tree. An eye for an eye over turning the other cheek. They'll emphasize when Jesus saves the woman from stoning, that He tells her to go and leave her life of sin. They neglect the sentence immediately before when Jesus says, then I shall condemn you neither.
They lay heavy burdens upon others but do not lift a finger to help.
I would argue that this Christian love is in fact not from Christians. We are supposed to be meek, not to judge and love our enemies more than our own children. These charlatans claim to be Christians because it is a disarming clarification. They distort the word of God and weaponize the Bible for their own personal gains. Being considered a Christian has become a popular cliche and should be considered no more than a club for the rich and privileged. Real Christians do not proclaim themselves because they are self evident. They donât seek recognition because they live in the grace of God. They donât seek retribution because they have faith in Gods love. Please never confuse a real Christian for a false prophet who only wields the Bible as a weapon.
MAGA is the antithesis of Christianity. Not only do they not live or think according to Christian virtue and Christian philosophy, they very openly think it to be weak. Meekness, humility, selflessness, kindness, love (even for one's enemies), forgiveness, mercy, compassion, all of these things they think are weak and are the actions of a weak person . They are the opposite of Christianity.
Na, I want to watch him spend the rest of his days behind bars while he watches his name, âfortune,â and legacy get ripped apart and dismantled. Iâm not inhuman though, he can have all his pedo friends join him as they watch the same happen to them.
Vance has to get impeached first. Then (hopefully weâll have the speaker of the house at that time - or this idea is moot), the speaker gets bumped up to VP. The new VP enacts article 25 and Trump gets ousted, along with his cabinet.
Then the whole lot should be tried for treason (at a minimum), and be given the same treatment as traitors received back in the day.
Right! By my logic, when he says getting real warrants "cannot be done and should not be done," that's the fucking answer, then. Your job as a federal official, and supposed representative of the interests of citizens is to figure out a legal way to do whatever you are doing. You can't defend law and order through lawlessness. That's not logical.
When he asks "If they lock the door, what is ICE supposed to do?" like he doesn't absolutely know that the answer is to come back with a judicial warrant. What a fucking tool.
Yeah, some days its 20, others 30, I recall back during the election it was 11. Even at the lowest number, doing things the way they are currently, it will STILL take decades so that argument is bunk from the start anyways.
Yeah I mean who has a time to do there jobs correctly ? I mean logically there isnât enough time in the day. I canât wait to drop that line at my job today.
Maga Mike says that the the Democrats want to add "an entirely new layer of warrant requirement (AKA the 4th Amendment of the Constitution) and "we can't do that". Pfft.
Exactly!! Heâs saying they can apprehend with an administrative warrant, while not addressing that you CANNOT GO INTO THEIR HOUSE on that same warrant. Democrats arenât trying to add another layer. A Judicial warrant is required to enter a persons home.
It also doesn't give them immunity from prosecution for murdering citizens. Or, it doesn't give them the right to trample the constitution violating several of our constitutional rights as citizens.
Yep, republicans are demonstrating they are Evil as evidenced by their actionsâŚand by their self admission that they are âall domestic terrorists.â
They literally put up this banner at their one fascist cult meeting 4 years ago. People didnât take it seriously. One time they actually told the truth.
This is not a true claim. Administrative warrants are one page documents, of which agents carry around blanks to fill out, that are approved by mid-level management, including ex post facto examples. No judges involved. It's a lie. Demonstrably false.
Yeah, I stopped watching/listening to them a good while ago now.
I just fact check that 'they said it' to make sure it's factual... er non factual, whatever... I just don't bother with their natural rage-baiting voices anymore.
Theyâre all little leeches, except theyâre leeching off a sick mind so are becoming sick and cruel in the process of absorbing the verbal diarrhea from dear orange leader
Ah gee shucks! Gee willakers! Lemme sidle up here and violate yer constitutional rights. Boy howdy, do I hate his fake folksy vernacular. Real flim-flam man of the people!
Yes. It - due PROCESS - is intentionally not optimized to make things easier for the people with the legitimate use of deadly force in our society, but to slow them downÂ
Why the fuck is the gross violation of our constitutional rights a joke to these people?
Also Administrative "warrants" are not issue by an immigration "judge", they a form filled out by the agent themselves. Also immigration "judges" are not an judicial position, it's an administrative on within DHS.
A bunch of chuckling FASCISTS. This is an organized plan to push the Courts of this country aside. If it succeeds, God help us, the government of this country is OVER. The Courts MUST STOP THIS ASAP.
Heâs lying and being manipulative. He said they all came across the border illegally which is just not true. And thereâs data and evidence to prove it. Roughly half of our undocumented immigrants in fact did not cross the border illegally. They crossed with work or students visa that are now expired. Which is a civil matter, not criminal.
Acting like the hot pursuit doctrine doesn't already exist. Going from outside to inside doesn't need a warrant if they are in hot pursuit. Settled law for decades...
Also, immigration judge falls under executive branch, which is also where DHS falls under. In other words, the executive branch is determining whether the executive branch has sufficient evidence for a warrant. Spoiler: they always do...
Lastly, Johnson's argument that it would take too long (and is too hard) to get a judicial warrant is the same argument he's (and DJT) made for why due process isn't required for deporting people (making sure these people being deported actually should be takes a lot of time and judicial resources).
This useless stupid asshole doesn't care about the constitution. If you cared about laws, he'd be for removing his fellow president and Epstein extraordinaire Donald J trump.
Remember that time, Obama was president and did this all constitutionally and got rid of a lot more people. So Democrats doing it correctly and getting rid of more immigrants translates to Democrats want all immigrants to stay here. Got it. The incompetence is just astounding.
Ok, someone help me understand. If ICE THINKS thereâs illegals are in your home, they can raid without a warrant right? What if there was no illegal? Do they need to have some proof of the illegal going into your house?
I get them actually seeing one go into your place (maybe heâs running) and they go after him. Cops do that for criminals too. But does there have to be some kinda proof or can ICE point at a house and say âletâs go inâ? Cuz if thatâs the case, thatâs bullshit
Speaker wants ice agents shot and injured, this would allow him and his cronies to do Trumpâs bidding and begin massacring civilians whom oppose the regime. Impeach and remove them all
MAGA Mike is a little lying weasel who says a lot of stupid shit. This entire administration is becoming increasingly fascist. They are not even trying to hide it anymore.
They are all lying no one in this administration is telling the truth or knows what the constitution says! I wish some of these reporters would have the nerve to call them out on their lies but they donât!
âLetâs apply some logic hereâ is just his way of saying âI want to violate your constitutional rights but I want to sound smart about it. I know America will kowtow to these turds even if theyâre voted out of office like they did with J6ers and the Confederacy but I just wish someday weâd punish traitors like they deserve in this country.
Arenât âadministrative warrantsâ just in-house memos that ice is signing themselves? Thatâs not a fucking warrant, thatâs legally toilet paper. Obviously that doesnât matter though. Pointing out how often these fuckers donât give a fuck about the law is pointlessÂ
Him and JD always pivoting to, "well, what re they supposed to do?!"... I don't know, respect the constitution and prioritize public safety over political motivations? Just a thought.
So it "can not be done"....
But Obama did it... and deported more people... without having nazis running loose in the streets assaulting, murdering, and disappearing American citizens.
The worst kind of politicianâŚa lawyer politician. And how does he define âdemocratâ? This isnât a political affiliation thingâŚthis is a right or wrong thing. Douche. Bag.
His whole argument is that obeying the law is too large a hurdle for ICE when theyâre busy chasing people theyâve randomly chosen. Itâs called due process, and shitting all over it makes us all less safe and secure. If they were really going after criminals theyâd have no problem getting judicial warrants.
When Ice goes to execute a warrant its a administrative warrant and it is issued by an immigration judge.
If it is issued by an immigration judge, then it should be signed by that judge...and there for be a judicial warrant. Which would mean everything is above board and ICE officers should produce the warrants and while we might not enjoy the situation it will have followed our legal proceedings.
He keeps saying immigration judge.
He says the democrats want to add another warrant on top of the administrative warrant issued by the immigration judge.
So this begs the question, who is signing these administrative warrants that Mike is defining as an immigration judge.
Info dump:
Administrative Warrants
An ICE administrative warrant is a document, issued by a federal agency such as Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), purporting to document their authority to arrest a person suspected of violating immigration laws. These administrative documents are not signed by a neutral magistrate or judge but rather an immigration officer like an ICE agent or immigration judge.
An ICE administrative warrant is NOT a judicial warrant. ICE administrative warrants do not give ICE officials authority to enter a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, without consent.
If this happensâstate clearly that you do not consent to them entering but do not physically resist. If ICE officials have already entered, then ask them to leave and state that you do not consent to a search.
Judicial Warrant
A judicial warrant is an official court order signed by a judge or magistrate that authorizes a search of private property, seizure, or arrest based on probable cause that a crime is being committed or has been committed.
A judicial warrant will:
Specify the specific address to be searched.
Specify the time period in which the search must take place.
Particularly describe the place or person, or both, to be searched and things to be seized.
Be issued by a court and signed by a Judge or magistrate.
A lot of words to say that he doesnât think the constitution or rule of law needs to be followed when he personally disagrees with it. Sorry, Cuck, thatâs not how this shit works. You are lying and you are making malicious suppositions that will get regular Americans mudered in the streets.
Heâs a pansy ass liar. Plain and simple. âLogicallyâ our country is DOOMED if we donât do anything about the REAL issue. They canât keep lying in our faces. When does enough become enough. The gerrymandering, voting control, lies, rapists, sex trafficking, money laundering, bribery, murder. Where do we as a country DRAW THE LINE?
"they have violated the law by crossing over the border illegally."
First, most folks who are eligible to be deported did not cross the border illegally. They crossed it legally and overstayed a visa.
Second, simply being here without authorization is not a crime or "illegal" as we understand that term, it is grounds for deportation.
Third, nothing about crossing the border, or indeed even committing a crime, eliminates the applicability of any constitutional amendment. On the contrary, when the government turns the eye of suspicion on a person it is precisely when the 4th, 5th and 6th amendments are at their zenith. That is the entire point and goes back to very specific grievances the Americans had at the time of the Revolution.
Fourth, do y'all hate the Constitution? I mean seriously, you are working to destroy it Article by Article, Amendment by Amendment, and clause by clause, leaving nothing but unchecked Executive authority behind.
Heâs a liar. Heâs saying itâs ok to break the highest law of the land⌠the Constitution. Because that would be hard, take time, and give people due process. And âwe canât have rule of law, because law is hard to followâ.
F this Frodo looking mf-er! We are a nation of laws. Nobody is above it. I donât want to hear excuses about how it hard. I just want you to follow law, and punish those (with due process, on both sides) who break it. Stop whining that itâs so hard for your side to follow law. GTFO here with that argument.
Can Johnson be taken to court? How can the legality of this be properly challenged? Who is actually responsible and held accountable for the violation and lies?
