C'mon, Lord. Isn't it time for the good guys to get up on the scoreboard?

I watched Richard Nixon avoid punishment for his crimes.
I watched Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush avoid any consequences for their illegal participation in Iran-Contra.
I saw Fitzmas come and go, with no presents forthcoming.
I watched Trump skate TWICE on impeachment charges of which he was manifestly guilty.
And now we have further evidence that Donald J. Trump was and remains a fucking criminal ... guilty of obstruction of justice, witness intimidation, repeated and ongoing attempts to interfere with, and later nullify, the results of a free and fair election, all of this being voiced by Republican witnesses, and given via sworn testimony while under oath.

So I'll ask again, Lord. Isn't it about time to get down to some serious smiting of the wicked?

4. I was aware that "invisible sky daddy" bullshit would be part of some responses.

It clearly has nothing to do with the underlying meaning of my post, but you do what you gotta do.

10. People of faith have capitalized the words "Lord" and "God" for millennia.

There are more than a few DUers who feel compelled to reflexively belittle Democrats of faith. Eventually the powers that be here may determine that to be a personal attack. I personally don't give a fuck ... I'll respond when I feel like it, and ignore it when I don't.
As I said earlier, you do you.

11. You're the one that threw your religion in there unnecessarily.

I commented on thinking this imaginary entity could have any effect. Putting it in there was unnecessarily adding religion. And I understood why you capitalized it. I was commenting that capitalizing it didn't make it just a common exclamation, like "oh geez", but a religious one. You have a right to your religion of course. I have a right to comment on it. Some of us are sick of religion pervading everything.

12. It was my fucking OP, Scooter.

Sorry you found a part of it "unnecessary".
But as I already made clear, your belief that MY belief is in an "imaginary entity" is completely superfluous to the post. Religion was clearly not the gist of the my OP, but you tried to make it so.

Individuals have tried to make DU suck for most of my almost two decades here. I'm used to it.

Now, do you have any thoughts on my clearly expressed view that Trump needs to be held accountable for his crimes, or would you prefer to carry on with an attempt to hi-jack the thread and put those crazy-ass imaginary sky-daddy worshippers in their place?

7. Failure to prosecute these prior egregious examples is what led to 45's coup attempt

Let's not forget the so-called Brooks Brothers riot either. All of this unpunished unlawful activity led to an attempted coup.

9. Yup. Trump saw what they got away with, and decided to push harder.

Blessed with a totally subservient and un-American Republican Party, he's gotten away with it ... so far.
