Mark Galli doesn't represent all evangelicals... not by a longshot.

In fact he doesn't even represent the founder of Christianity Today:

https://www.newsweek.com/billy-grahams- ... ly-1478463

In his book.. 'Trump Aftershock: The President's Seismic Impact on Culture and Faith in America'... Galli attacked Donny's character.

Some evangelicals like Mark Galli don't support Trump, some evangelicals like Mike Pence... do.

(well okay, most evangelicals love "My orange hero") :drink:

Speaking of Mike Pence, I'm sure Mark Galli would like Trump removed so his man Pence could take over.

Moral high ground, now that is funny :D

but let us not get sidetracked, you said
There is no evidence and no crime.
Interesting that you talk about logical fallacies and factual argument while completely glossing over the very transcript that damns Trump's actions.

let's have a closer look shall we?

From the Whitehouse and Trump's own staff. Even after the doctoring done to the document that I won't accuse them of, but we all know they did because: nudge, nudge, wink, wink, Trump has refused to cooperate with Congress in releasing documents or allowing staff to testify. :shock:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u ... 9.2019.pdf
President Zelenskyy: Yes you are absolutely right. not only 100%, but actually 1000% right I can tell you the following; I did talk to Angela Merkel and I did meet with her I also met and talked with Macron and I told them that they are not doing quite as much as they need to be doing on the issues with the sanctions. They are not enforcing the sanctions. They are not working as much as they should work for Ukraine It turns out that even though logically, the European Union should be our biggest partner but technically the United States is a much bigger partner than the European Union and- I'm very grateful to you for that because the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation. I would also·like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We. are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps. specifically, we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.

The· President: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a
lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike ... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it.
There are three significant words that in fact prove Quid Pro Quo or "a favor or advantage granted in return for something."
https://www.google.com/search?q=quid+pr ... e&ie=UTF-8

Specifically is the request by Zelensky He is almost ready to buy more Javalins but for the aid already promised and committed to by the United States. The money to buy these missiles is clearly the favour being asked by Zelensky

Crowdstrike "Crowdstrike gained notoriety in 2016 when the Democratic National Committee paid the company to investigate a hack of its server, which it determined emanated from Russia. The company was the first to publicly sound the alarm about Russia's interference in the 2016 election and CrowdStrike's assessment was later confirmed by US intelligence agencies blah blah blah." is the something in return.
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/26/tech ... index.html

Though is the subordinating conjuction that connects and suborinates Zelensky's missiles to Trumps favor.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/gramma ... ontrasting

Viola - Quid Pro Quo - done and dusted.

The alleged crime is extortion for personal gain and Trump's actions during the investigation, the additional crime of Obstruction of Justice is tacked on.

Now you can say he is innocent and you can try to prove that, but you CANNOT say there is no quid pro quo and therefore no crime... 8-)

Ha :) how did I know that would be your response. It seems that there are really only three cool responses. Laugh it off, ignore it or build a straw man and destroy it.

It’s cool though. It’s the holidays so I have some time to waste.

From Franklin Graham the son of the late Billy Graham, who was the founder of Christianity Today.
My Response to Christianity Today:

Christianity Today released an editorial stating that President Trump should be removed from office—and they invoked my father’s name (I suppose to try to bring legitimacy to their statements), so I feel it is important for me to respond. Yes, my father Billy Graham founded Christianity Today; but no, he would not agree with their opinion piece. In fact, he would be very disappointed. I have not previously shared who my father voted for in the past election, but because of this article, I feel it is necessary to share it now. My father knew Donald Trump, he believed in Donald Trump, and he voted for Donald Trump. He believed that Donald J. Trump was the man for this hour in history for our nation.

For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable. Christianity Today failed to acknowledge that not one single Republican voted with the Democrats to impeach the President. I know a number of Republicans in Congress, and many of them are strong Christians. If the President were guilty of what the Democrats claimed, these Republicans would have joined with the Democrats to impeach him. But the Democrats were not even unanimous—two voted against impeachment and one voted present. This impeachment was politically motivated, 100% partisan. Why would Christianity Today choose to take the side of the Democrat left whose only goal is to discredit and smear the name of a sitting president? They want readers to believe the Democrat leadership rather than believe the President of the United States.

Look at all the President has accomplished in a very short time. The economy of our nation is the strongest it has been in 50 years, ISIS & the caliphate have been defeated, and the President has renegotiated trade deals to benefit all Americans. The list of accomplishments is long, but for me as a Christian, the fact that he is the most pro-life president in modern history is extremely important—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that, to say it doesn’t count? The President has been a staunch defender of religious freedom at home and around the world—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that? Also the President has appointed conservative judges in record number—and Christianity today wants us to ignore that? Christianity Today feels he should be removed from office because of false accusations that the President emphatically denies.

Christianity Today said it’s time to call a spade a spade. The spade is this—Christianity Today has been used by the left for their political agenda. It’s obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist liberal wing of evangelicalism.

Is President Trump guilty of sin? Of course he is, as were all past presidents and as each one of us are, including myself. Therefore, let’s pray for the President as he continues to lead the affairs of our nation.

We don't need to "prove Trump is innocent"... you and yours need to prove Trump is guilty.

I guess you've forgotten how things work on this side of the pond.

"Innocent until proven guilty"... ring a bell?

Over here we require evidence of guilt... wild raving speculation doesn't do it for us.

Lord Trump is innocent of any wrongdoing no matter how much you and yours SCREAM otherwise...

I’m not screaming brother, I’m practicing the art of posting Strangelove style.

And proving guilt is exactly what a impeachment trial is for.

You know charged with a crime and then a trial to prove it?

Yeah, you and yours need to prove it, that's what... I... said

... in response to you suggesting folks need to "prove Trump is innocent". :crazy:

(FFS I even highlighted it in red, how drunk are you right now... brother?)

But there IS no evidence of wrongdoing on "My orange hero"'s part, so it's not really a "trial" amirite?

(more like a dirty-politics game of Mud Sling amirite?)

And you better believe you were screaming your damn fool head off

... scroll up tomorrow when you're sober. :drink:
