You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3).
We’re only a couple of weeks into a new year and already it seems we are still on the troubled path that led us into so much misery last year (and the year before and the year before…). Most of us are familiar with the famous quote that has been misattributed to Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Whether it’s insanity, wishful thinking, or just plain fear of the unknown no one really knows but the world is stuck in a rut and can’t get out. Hope will put you on a different path but it is incumbent upon you to be observant as you travel along. And be ready for change.
its 435 members elected across the constitutional public, not one, no matter how able she may be. in the house every congress member gets a vote. we know the concept, one person, one vote. more generally, the president as i reviewed the record has consistently a consistently followed the advice of the white house council and office of legal counsel. he has been obedient. as you know, that important office, many have had your own experiences with that office, it s staffed with lawyers of great ability and has a representation of suburb work.
here he is speaking about joe biden. this is on november 6th. should the impeachment trial come to the senate do you want to see joe and hunter biden come in? that s another line of inquiry. i ve tried to resist turning the senate into a circus i don t want to go after joe and hunter biden because people are mad they re not getting a fair deal in the house. now he seems to have changed his mind and decided that he will be obedient to donald trump and go after his former friend. your thoughts? you can t believe anything lindsay graham says. i mean, that s the takeaway of these last three years and joy, i ve kind of moved on in my evaluation of lindsay graham we sometimes think oh, the principle person that lindsay graham used to be but i now believe we can t believe lindsey graham five years ago or ten years ago where we used to think he was this constructively unpredictable politician he s actually the unprincipled
one-off. this was not a one-off. and he s got this obsession with the elections. all presidents are obsessed with elections. donald trump makes all previous presidents look kind of like boy scouts in terms of their obsession with reelection. so i think that this is as churchill once said, i don t think this is the beginning of the end, but i think it s the end of the beginning of this particular chapter. and do you foresee republicans, the idea is that courage is contagious, this whistle-blower who has, to be blunt, shown more courage and more spine than a series of generals who have worked for donald trump and admirals who have worked for donald trump. do you think that courage will be contagious? can you foresee that being contagious inside the republican party which up until now has been nothing but obedient to donald trump? for public action, i reserve judgment.
