Here is my question to America....

Trump says Ukraine is very corrupt. If they are so corrupt, why would you go to them about getting dirt on your rival, why would you trust what they say? And if they are corrupt, why would you do any dealings with them? Why would you help them financially in any way?

much like this big "origins" investigation that the q cult keeps ranting about, or bengazzi, or the e mails, the Ukraine investigations are designed to go on until the public and media believe the allegations must be true

It's the old "God works in mysterious ways" bullshit.

Nope, God is actually pretty transparent. It's his/her representatives who spew bullshit and lies, making money and taking power by devising weird interpretations of "The One True Word."



I remember an old meme from years ago. It went basically like: If you take all of the world's great religions and boil them down, strip away all the trappings and window dressing and manipulations slathered on by people and they all have the same basic lesson at their cores. Don't be an asshole.

If only more people could see that.
