Many Trump officials covered up Flynn's behavior as it came to light. Now, they are trying to portray him as an Obama administration official. They know they're in trouble, and that's why they spin.

Without wanting to get into you guys bad and mines good kinda debate are sure that bars not too low for the man you want running your country?
I want more than 'not a convicted criminal' to be the standard for someone I back.
Then you wouldn't want Hillary either.
Rex has been a moderating influence on Trump. It would be bad if he does resign or Trump does give him the boot.
Yeah, after I posted that I saw Rex in front of the press and they started grilling him about being replaced. I felt sorry for him, he looked stressed out.

I don't think you made the point you thought you were making.
If you said anything like this, you were complaining out loud:
You're blaming Obama for age-old lust, gluttony and self-indulgence? He "opened the floodgates?"
When did you rewrite Genesis and change Adam's name to Obama?
And why would you say that Christians aren't guilty of same?
Please don't say that's not what you said, because that's exactly what you said.
I think Tillerson is beginning to realize that you can't impose sanity from the outside. He doesn't need the job, he's not very good at it, and he's come to realize that his boss is a "moron."
How long would you stay in a job, under those conditions?
I was reading a devotional today and the author wrote something that had me thinking of the president.
"The man who is made obtuse by sin will say he is not conscious of sin."
I think that described the president's remarks about not being conscious of seeking forgiveness or needing to. He framed sin as mistakes that he could clean up himself. That's missing the mark on the nature and origin of sin. It frames and clarifies a lot of his rhetoric and action.

Because most Christians know the "nature" and origin of sin and therefore don't miss the mark. It's so "framing" and "clarifying" since he's the only one in politics that employs "rhetoric".
There's missing or failing, and willfully aiming. He appears to indulge the latter without much remorse or a need to ask for forgiveness. I hope that's not most Christians.
Not something I claimed, but it does seem to fit the disconnect he evidenced talking about forgiveness and makes sense of his crude comments about women, and the remark about trying to become sexually involved with a married woman. That sort of thing.

More commentary than complaint.
I forget, most of you don't live near Seattle... I'm a bit closer to the floodgates where it isn't just on TV.
Good point. I won't argue against that.
The caricature had the picture of trump AND Christians bowing down to those vices as if that is why any Christian voted for him.
Here is the secretary of capitalism being secretary of state. He may not be necessary, but he will outlast Trump.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

Despite widespread support by conservative Christians, how do they reconcile their beliefs with a narcissist who fails to see the need for God's forgiveness from sin?

Its no secret that narcissists makes the best leaders and businessmen - i doubt you ll find many who disagree that hes a narcissist.
You look like you're walking off the lemming cliff with your other liberal buddies though in your united hatred of the man.
Is Warren Buffet a narcissist? :think: I know a lot of rich people. I've traveled in larger circles among them as a child and young man. Most of them weren't narcissists. It's narcissists who get the most publicity because they seek it and have the means to make sure you know who they are. I think you find more narcissists in second or third generation on among the rich than in the general population, because they grow up with the entitlement that can blind and form you that way. By the third it's much harder for anyone to have a grounding, given no one in the loop has a living memory of having to really earn anything and their perspective on what that means begins at a different place. Earning and working take on a different understanding by that point and they'll sometimes confuse a common human experience, like employing regular Joes or eating fast food, with understanding what is really an alien concept outside of their experience. But they have no real appreciation of the one thing that alters a human perspective fundamentally, the feeling of real vulnerability.
This is the other mistaken narrative of the far right, that you have to a) be a liberal, or b) hate Trump to oppose him and note the deficiencies that are glaringly obvious to so many Americans. Many in his own party share the opinion of moderates and liberals when it comes to the president.

I think trump won because alot of folks on the left didn't want Hilary.
And yet a few more millions people voted for Hillary ...
Being that Trump accepted and colluded with a foreign adversary, I don't consider him a legitimate president.
