The illusion that we are voting for who we want is fake.

The reality is that those with money control all politics. They are very concerned about Christians because we are the overwhelming majority in this country.

Therefore Democrats are pro Black Lives Matter, pro poor, pro immigrant, pro human rights. All things that could be seen as things Jesus would do. However, they are also pro abortion, pro gay rights, and never say a word about Christians.

On the other hand Republicans are against abortion, they support Christians in other countries that are persecuted, and they espouse a fiscally conservative stance. All things that could be seen as scriptural and Biblical. However, they are anti immigrant, and push many policies that could be seen as biased against the poor and the minorities, or at the very least pro big business.

If Christians are an overwhelming majority in this country why is there no party that pushes "Christian" policies exclusively? The system is designed to divide Christians so that their power and influence would be negated.

The Mueller investigation will go nowhere. Trump will use Executive Privilege to block any incriminating evidence from reaching the light of day.

"But Giuliani pointed out a little-known aspect of the agreement that Trump’s original legal team struck with Mueller: the White House reserved the right to object to the public disclosure of information that might be covered by executive privilege."

Great idea for a sci fi psycho thriller:

A 5th grader has a dream where he is the "greatest president ever". When he wakes up he is still the 5th grader but is now in the body of the President of the US. The place is in chaos, his advisors realize they have a president with the understanding of a 5th grader, they are secretly hiding documents from him for the good of the country. Meanwhile there are numerous investigations going on into this kids bullying, yet incredibly he is connecting with a large portion of the electorate which also has the brain of a 5th grader.

“Isn’t it a shame that someone can write an article or book, totally make up stories and form a picture of a person that is literally the exact opposite of the fact,” the president tweeted Wednesday, “and get away with it without retribution or cost.”

Is this a mea culpa?

No. It's a projection.
