Throw in a few felony convictions, sexual assault, raping underage girls, cheat, fraud, and a half dozen bankruptcies and you have a shining, strong, respected President. (ok ok, he's not strong and has almost zero respect) What the fuck have we become?

Funny how so many self-styled "Christians" ignore verses like: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God."; Lev. 19:33. "And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt."; Deut 10:19 "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."; Heb 13:2 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,"; Matthew 25:35

For myself the hypocrisy of US evangelical christians combined with Trump and their support of trump has festered this criticism. I recognize that one bad apple has spoiled the bunch. But the corruption of trump, his antithesis of everything christian paints everything. Most Christians are not evangelicals, most don't support trump or his policies.

I hate Nazis and fascists, rapists, murderers and child molesters, OK? All of those are choices people make.

Not hate. That is your canard. I hate the influence of Christianity on our society including our military, not the adherents to the faith. What you do not want to see is how what you believe is being forced down the throats of your fellow citizens. You know, like teaching it in public schools underneath a plaque of the 10 Commandments. I get it that it is real to you but for others it is without any rational basis, is completely unprovable, and should have no role in our social and political processes.

Exactly. Being an arsehole is a choice. Being black is not.

Jeez Louise! Christians (even evangelical ones) are no more monolithic than liberals, conservatives, Muslims or veterans. Maybe even MAGA (though that one’s a stretch I think) Wendy P.

The man who oversaw the money being packed and who carried it in his lap to the airport says that the bank always bundled in packets of 5. A decade later an FBI agent claimed that the money was bundled in such a way that it was hastily gathered. Yet that is nowhere in any of the FBI Files from 1971 and this statement didn't come from an actual Cooper case agent. The FBI nor law enforcement had anything to do with the money except for an undercover cop actually driving the bank people to the airport. Had their been some order given to "mix up" the money bundles, I imagine that the man who oversaw the money being put in the bag would have remembered that. Yet he has never mentioned it. Also, as I said, such an order or directive would have likely only come from law enforcement and we have a pretty good understanding that law enforcement was really hands off when it came to the money. In fact, the only evidence whatsoever that the money MIGHT have been bundled in packets of three is this one agent's comment in 1980. One might think that the TB money itself is evidence that it was bundled in packets of three, but given that we don't know the chain of custody between Nov 24, 71 and when the money was found, it doesn't stand alone as evidence. It's a real shame they didn't photograph the money beforehand.

That is the core. Just leave folks alone. If they want to believe - they will approach you.

That is not a fair question. It doesn’t make sense and is a false premise.

A friend of mine made a few jumps after a 30 year hiatus; did AFF. When they said "and you pull at 5500 feet," this notorious low puller said: "Wait -- you're serious, aren't you?" Wendy P.
