I will do this once for readers who don’t read much. Biden wanted prosecutor Shorkin removed. Shorkin was not investigating corruption and that is why the Western world wanted him removed. Biden did not get his son a job nor did he do anything to stop investigation into any corruption. As we are finding out through Lev Parnas, it is Giuliani who successfully got the Ukraine ambassador fired because she was a corruption fighter. Horatiosocks here is repeating Russian talking points.

Trump did nothing of noteworthiness. He didn’t go to Ukraine and tell them to fire their prosecutor and then give his son a job at Burisma for 80K monthly. Biden even bragged about it here:

I would wholeheartedly agree with you on that!

They really have not thought that through.

One might go further and ask what exactly are the “ends” that are justifying the dodgy means? Trump has absolutely no desire for any kind of theocracy, since he wants to be ‘god’ of the American body politic. Can these people who support him in the named of ‘religion’ really not see that?!

A better question is what would you do if your children/grandchildren behaved in the manner that Trump does? What if your neighbors children/grandchildren behaved that way?

There will come a day, and not too far in the future, when patsies like Metaxas will be confronted with what they’ve done. There have already been stories of former Trump staffers unable to find jobs after leaving this White House, and present staffers being confronted over their work whenever they venture out in public.

When Nixon resigned, and left office in disgrace, an enduring mystery was exposed: How on earth did he ever get elected, since no one voted for him. Finding an admitted Nixon voter was harder than finding a Yeti wearing a top hat and tails in midtown Manhattan. There is a part of every current Republican office holder’s brain that knows this, yet they can’t let go. So they are in it to the end, which will not be pretty.

I have zero sympathy for them.

If the end justifies the means, then abortion for completely frivolous reasons is justified.

If the end justifies the means, then same sex marriage is fully justified.

By going with “the end justifies the means”, evangelicals have lost everything. They no longer have a credible voice on moral issues.

Metaxas does not seem to understand this.
