The way this is going the Trump campaign will demand that his mike gets muted whenever he speaks in future debates.
I was muting him myself when it was clear his string got pulled and another of his pre-recorded incoherencies was playing. Like some kind of deranged version of 'Toy Story':

"Biden put a snake in my booty!" Migrants poisoned the water hole!" "Reach for the lie...." "To Insanity And Beyond!"

I have some republican friends that I usually ignore their politcal posts - actually I ignore most of my friends' political posts unless I know they're the kind to put up with the fact that I'm an equal opportunity mocker.

But, this woman posted, "Jesus was a convicted felon too." And I was like, "No. Just no. You are not going to compare my God to that walking talking trash heap. That is not even borderline blasphemous, and you need to repent (since she claims to be Christian)."

She was like "Many people are mis-convicted...."

And I was like, "And next month you're going to be on here yelling about convicted felons supposedly being allowed to vote. The rules need to apply to everyone. A little consistency please."

She unfriended me.

Interesting analysis by an experienced advocate and writer of how skillful a piece of persuasive writing it is -- as, I guess, you'd expect from so successful a singer/songwriter.

I agree with your reasoning 100%. I'm not a believer, but it's easy to see why comparing any given convict to Jesus is more than a little blasphemous. It sounds like you embarrassed her and she wasn't mature enough to realize your point was totally valid.

Barabbas was also a convicted felon. I wonder if she thinks he was mis-convicted, too.

According to scripture, Jesus did not deny any of the accusations put against him - whatever specific charges were being claimed. So it's pretty ludicrous to say he was "mis-convicted." And being the "son of God," wouldn't he have been able to avoid punishment for his crimes? Yet he chose not to, allowing himself to be punished.

Trump should follow Jesus' example.

Trump has announced Taylor Swift will pay. It’s obvious what he plans.

Trump is lots better looking than she is. We know he can dance. Think Trump gyrating on stage in red lace. He will sing classics like ‘Daddy Swiped our Last Clean Sheet and Joined the Ku Klux Klan’ and ‘Mystic City and The Bright Fiery Cross’. He will reduce Swift to oblivion within days.

We thought it was bad when Trump took his view of the world from Fox News, but I hadn't realised quite how demented the MAGA media bubble had become now that Trump and his adult sprogs live on Truth Social, Elmo runs Twitter, and they have AI to make pretty pictures for them.

I mean, honestly, in what world does a serious politician tweet something like this about himself? Putin, Kim and Xi must be falling about laughing.
