Interesting huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge article published today:

https://newrepublic.com/article/160922/capitol-riot-revealed-darkest-nightmares-white-evangelical-america

While Americans around the country watched an inflamed mob overrun the Capitol on January 6, the evangelical participants in that mob saw something else: a holy war. Insurgents carried signs that read “Jesus Saves,” “In God We Trust,” “Jesus 2020,” and “Jesus Is My Savior, Trump Is My President.” One man marched through the halls of Congress carrying a Christian flag, another a Bible. They chanted, “The blood of Jesus covering this place.”

They forgot to mention "We are Really Stupid"

What happened at the capitol reminded me of cult leaders like David Koresh and Jim Jones and how they were able to persuade people who blindly followed them to do insane, nonsensical things. When I saw that the far right we’re willing to support Trump no matter what he said or did, I knew Trump could be a dangerous man able to convince people to commit heinous acts.

 

It also made me think how people will be so determined to harm us during the final part of the great tribulation when satan uses the worlds governments to spew out propaganda against us at that time as Revelation 16:13,14 says. Trump is just one man but at that time all “the kings of the entire inhabited earth” will be parroting this propaganda that will goad ones into attacking us.

 

13 And I saw three unclean inspired expressions* that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon+ and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs,+ and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war+ of the great day of God the Almighty.+

The Hebrew word cushi or kushi is an affectionate term generally used in the Bible to refer to a dark-skinned person of African descent.

I wouldn't be surprised if those insurrectionists all get some kind of blanket pardon from the president before he leaves office!

keeping on the watch!

US Capitol breach

‘I’m facing a prison sentence’: US Capitol rioters plead with Trump for pardons

Jenna Ryan, a Texas real estate broker who took a private jet to Washington to join the attack on the US Capitol, has pleaded with Donald Trump to pardon her after she was arrested by federal authorities.

After surrendering to the FBI on Friday, Ryan said: “We all deserve a pardon.”
“I’m facing a prison sentence,” she told CBS11 at her home. “I think I do not deserve that.”

Turning to look into the camera, she said: “I would ask the president of the United States to give me a pardon.”

On Wednesday, Trump was impeached for inciting the attack on 6 January that left five people dead, including a police officer, and sent lawmakers fleeing for their lives.

She doesn’t deserve a prison sentence? Being involved in something like that where people were killed and she doesn’t deserve a prison sentence. 
 

Shoulda thought about the consequences before she got involved. O yes, people today don’t think there is my consequences for wrongdoing. Hmmmm.
 

Shows how valueless human lives have become. Well IMHO anyway.

Some like to watch competative sports, I do not demean them. I watch competetive politics, it is a current edition of history being written in advance. We won't need either of them in the newsystem. :)

 I am not sying I am Superman, I am only saying that nobody has ever seen Superman  and me in a room together.

I used to but, man, these last 4 years took it right out of me.  I'm in a news bubble and it feels kinda nice.  

 

Now, I do go on social media and read comments from people responding to news articles.  I like watching their heads explode.  

 

Seriously, it's funny.  Like, the answer is right in front of their face, but they go out of their way to avoid it.  

 

At the same time it's sad. Tragic. Sheep without a shepherd.  Blind leading the blind.  Skinned and thrown about.

Basically you was thinking what I was thinking. I told a brother 2 days ago, when we go back in the field, it is going to be a different ball game. The whole world has change, what is on people minds, I don’t know. Yes, it doesn’t hurt to see what is on the news. I’m sorry for misunderstandings my brother.

Not just Trump.  The saying is "My party right or wrong" 

For years in many lands the head of government could be Hitler, Stalin or Genghis Kan and if they were of a particular party - people would still support them.

 

Thus in the US today you have Americans or Republicans or Democrats or Independents plus all the right wing and left wing groups, various religions and atheists but very few Christians - no Christians in government.

Consciousness, that annoying time between naps! :sleeping:

There are some short video clipping(s) have been on played on youtube daily since the uprising.

Many of the videos go into great detail - especially about the ones on Mike Pence

and those that were chanting for his death as they broke in - Also the police that 

that led them away from where Pelosi and others were in hiding. 

A lot of the footage is disturbing because you see a police officer almost being crush to death

by the mob and also the footage of a woman getting shot - police against police.   And others in 

high places that were caught on camera.

Ever since Trump won the election back in 2016 the other side has been trying to get rid of him by impeachment or claiming collusion with the Russians. Everything has just escalated!
