Today is Good Friday. Think of how often you see the Cross - churches, signs, jewelry, etc.  It all points to this day.

Biden scares me as he might be able to unify the Democrats long enough to win an election.

I agree that anything can happen.  However, I think we're going to see some real cracks developing in the Democrat Party as we march toward the 2020 election as leftwing extremists demand their piece of the pie.  The Bernie Sanders-AOC wing of the party has grown a lot stronger than they were in 2016 when they put up a good showing.  And those people, I should add, are scary.  They're the ones who, if they got power, would be curtailing individual liberties, legislating their leftist morality, fining people, and ultimately probably throwing them in jail for having the wrong political opinions. 

But I agree with you - if the Democrats were to find a moderate Democrat, they'd have a shot.  A person like Schultz might work but he's not known well enough.  More likely Biden or Kamala Harris would be stronger candidates.

If the Democrats can find a non radical leftist Presidential candidate, they may have a shot at beating Trump in 2020.  Trump won't be as strong a candidate the next go around.  I never dismiss what those idiots can pull off.  Trump has a battle on his hands and he cannot count on the Republicans to support him especially at the first signs of weakness.

Yes, I do.  It all fits within the wider working theory that I have held since this began began in 2017:
  • The Democrats suffered such a crushing and unexpected loss in the 2016 elections (POTUS, Congress, state governorship) that they had very little power left.
  • They needed to find a way to undermine Trump's power, and did so by concocting a Trump-Russia conspiracy theory which was false to begin with.
  • Since the media sides with the Democrats and against Trump, they went along with it, wishfully thinking that it end in Trump's downfall.
I'll add to this that the Democrats likely knew that even if though showing a conspiracy between Trump-Russia would fail, the investigation itself could cripple Trump, and at least would obstruct his ability to govern with an effective mandate.  As it turns out, they were partially correct.   

Enter Paul Manafort, a man who was Trump's campaign manager for three months during the summer of 2016, and later sentenced for tax fraud and bank fraud and another charge related to a foreign bank account.  The fact that Manafort was convicted for crimes which were not related to the original task of the Mueller investigation should be a red flag for us.  If the investigative power of Mueller is able to dig back into Trump's associates, spend a lot of time and effort convicting a Trump associate for a crime unrelated to the 2016 election, do they even have any evidence of a Trump-Russia conspiracy at all?

If you go back and look at the other Mueller indictments, you will find that many of the other crimes were process crimes (crimes committed during the investigation, such as lying to FBI agents, rather than crimes committed before the investigation began): Papadopoulus, Flynn, van der Zwaan.

Think of the bigger picture: if after almost two years of Mueller's investigations, on top of other congressional investigations into Trump-Russia, and this is all they have so far, how much do they actually have?

Yes, it's possible they could find crimes by Trump related to other non-Russia issues, but at the end of the day this entire Trump-Russia conspiracy theory was an attempt by Democrats to undo the results of the 2016 election.

Trump still appears to be on shakier ground now especially with the Mannafort sentencing.  Still believe what you wrote about this?

Never got a chance to read it.

Lol.  Immortal words there.

Yeah, I heard that even though a lot of people haven't read it, it was still a foundational book for medieval Europeans, so it has a very impactful legacy.

I had a copy laying around somewhere.  Never got a chance to read it.  It is a very important work that every serious Christian scholar should read.

Anyone read it?  I heard it was considered one of the greatest books nobody ever reads.  I'm curious about it now.  I've read (parts of ) Augustine's Confessions, but not City of God.

Maybe.  If it works well in Europe, they might try it here.  I know in Louisville that once the team got demoted, it would never recover the fan base.
