Trump whisked from WHCD after shooting

Things that are not part of politics happening presently and how we approach or address it as Anabaptists.

But should it? That land belongs to the people not to a president and his monied classes. The people are represented by Congress not by billionaire donors. The President should be asking permission from the people if he wants to change their house.
Additions to the White House have included private donations before. Each new president redecorates it without congressional input. I'm convinced that the objections are just another petty action on the part of petty individuals. There's plenty going on in our coutnry and the world that's a lot more important than silly games of gotcha being run in the courts.
There’s a difference between redecorating the White House and tearing down an entire wing.
I hope you can appreciate the improvement someday.

President Ford narrowly survived two assassination attempts. Was he also upsetting Satan's agenda?
Interesting. Maybe Satan hates Republican presidents.
And weren't there 8 assassination attempts on Obama?
Hadn’t heard that. Didn’t know. I paid as little attention to Obama as I could. Everything I did hear he was doing grieved my spirit so I guess we could have had a lot of protests but we just let God’s sovereign choice cause us to accept His will for His purpose. Sorry I don’t know. Are there 8 people in jail?

Says the person who is quite vocal about how uneducated people are if they don't consume all the pro-Trump media. :roll:
Maybe if you had learned more about the man you could have appreciated his good character qualities.

Obama had 0 assassination attempts like the ones Trump endured. It’s a silly comparison.

A better comparison would be to Reagan.

You mean like his lying??
I’m talking about knowing what you’re talking about in discussions we have here about Trump. It’s obvious to me people get their media from sources that leave a lot of information out. Did we have a lot of discussions about Obama? He did not like Christians. He lied about saying that marriage was for one man and one woman when he was interviewed before he was elected Because the LGBTQ controversy was a big deal then. But then as soon as he was elected, He went back on that and had a gay activist party at the White House told him this is their country now and had rainbow colored lights adorning the outside of the White House. Obama care was a bomb in my opinion. No, I heard enough, but if we would’ve been like the anti-Trump person just constantly on discussion forums where anti-Trumper can’t cope with Trump being president, well, we did cope, and we weren’t constantly on the forum spewing about Obama. There were better things to discuss.

What is the distinction you are making between the guy who ran through a security checkpoint on a different floor of a hotel recently and the man who fired a gun hitting the White House?

I was referring more to Butler.

They seem similar to me in that neither one got very far or even placed the president in much danger.

Something is a little different now from the Obama era, back then there were quite a few rather weak plots but now there seem to be less but more serious. The plotter takes singular action rather than talking about it with people who turn him in to authorities.
