The Prosperity Gospel is a big thing among some evangelical churches. It's so disgusting, and so removed from Jesus' teachings.

Matt Schlapp...
“My wife @mercedesschlapp and I walked out early from the wh correspondents dinner. Enough of elites mocking all of us”
But yet him and his wife went to the NBC/MSNBC after party. Last time I check the majority of the on air hosts/guests at MSNBC are “elites”.

Democratic Underground is reporting that Ryan is considering Joel Osteen as a replacement for Father Conroy. The man who closed his church doors to Hurricane Harvey victims.
I'm hoping it's just a sick joke.

linkInteresting... From SF ABC News (KGO) “Polarized Democrats, Republicans united in anger toward Washington: Focus group”
One of the only things Republicans and Democrats seem to agree on these days is that they don't agree on much of anything. With just a few months until the midterm elections, ABC News Contributor Frank Luntz, who has also worked as a conservative and corporate pollster, set out to explore those political divisions. Can people from opposing sides agree on anything? Luntz spoke with two dozen participants -- 12 Democrats, 12 Republicans -- all of whom self-identified as "angry" voters. He found nothing short of profound frustration this week during a discussion with voters in Orlando, Florida. More than 18 months since the 2016 presidential election, emotions about the race are still raw. Having conversations and maintaining relationships with people from the other party proved to be difficult, too, the group admitted. Nearly two-thirds of the participants said they had stopped speaking with a friend or family member as a result of the election. It becomes exhausting to do nothing but argue with people that you once loved or that you grew up with," said Nan Parratto-Wagner, a Republican. "At some point, you simply have to say: 'I'm moving on.'" For Democrats, it was a struggle to understand how anyone could have voted President Trump. "I just felt like I couldn't be friends with anyone who agreed with our current politics," said April Lowe-Royster, who said she tends to vote as a Democrat. "My position was: 'No, you may not be racist, but I mean, I think you're saying you're OK with racism.'" The accusation of racism underpinning support for the president set off a furious debate and put Republicans on the defensive. After Wendy Harmon, a Democrat, said she believed President Trump's focus on illegal immigration created an "us-against-them mentality," Santiago Avila, Jr., a Republican who voted for Donald Trump, reacted with frustration. My dad voted for Trump," Avila, who is Latino, said. "Why? Because he came here legally. My wife came here legally from Ecuador. Why is it fair for somebody to get in front of the line when you come here illegally?" Luntz also uncovered starkly different experiences in the group. When he asked which groups the participants believe face the most difficult challenges in America, Democrats clustered around "blacks and African Americans" and "Muslims," whereas Republicans gravitated toward "hardworking taxpayers," "the middle-class" and "people of faith." Perceptions about President Trump's major legislative accomplishment -- the tax reform package -- divided along party lines as well. Republicans, who seemed slightly more passionate in their approval and support of the law, offered phrases like "well-deserved," "great," "welcome relief," and "excellent for economic growth." Democratic respondents described it as "a lie," "confusing," "supporting the rich," and "near-sighted." If this isn't tribalism as they have defined it, I don't know what is," Luntz said after tallying the responses. "It's like we are two separate countries." Despite these differences, there was a consensus about who is to responsible for America's failure to tackle the biggest challenges: Lobbyists, special interests and the federal government bureaucracy shared bipartisan ire. But participants saved their toughest criticism for Congress, describing elected officials from both parties in Washington as "self-serving," "irrelevant," "lazy," and "corrupt." In fact, when Luntz asked if the two-party system is so broken that we should seek an alternative, there was near unanimous agreement. Participants also agreed to continue these conversations, even if they might be difficult. "People need to able to sit and have uncomfortable conversations and ask the hard questions," said Haley Graves. If what happens on this board is any indication, good luck with that. From the left I would be willing if it was an honest attempt. We can come to a consensus," Avila said. "Somewhere in the middle, we can meet and say we'll help this much here and we'll help this much over here."

I did not watch the WHCA dinner last night. And what I have been seeing are folks upset with what Michelle Wolf said about Sarah Sanders.
Michelle Wolfe...
“Why are you guys making this about Sarah’s looks? I said she burns facts and uses the ash to create a *perfect* smoky eye. I complimented her eye makeup and her ingenuity of materials.”
THIS is what people are getting upset about?
The real outrage should be Sarah Sanders lies and lies and lies. Not that Michelle Wolf called her on it in a very imaginative way.

When did dt take a polygraph??? If so . we knew he would pass, he believes he is telling the truth all the time with a straight face!! Trump’s closest tabloid ally goes after Michael CohenHaley Britzky 23 hours ago The National Enquirer, an ally to President Trump, went after Michael Cohen, the president’s personal attorney, on the cover of the magazine. The backdrop: The Enquirer has largely been in Trump's corner — its parent company, American Media, reportedly bought off a story from a former Playboy Playmate in 2016 that would hurt Trump. But Cohen is in hot water after the FBI obtained documents related to his payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels. www.axios.com/national-enquirer-targets-cohen-a601e64d-e377-4384-93af-e660b78cb1a9.htmlHow do I fix the size?

I know people like this. They feel that they offer prayer for material things and God “blesses” them with stuff and wealth. They say God wants them to be beautiful rich wealthy have lots of expensive shit... It’s so weird to hear them talk about it.

I'm hoping it's just a sick joke. I just threw up in my mouth a little. Would be totally in line with the “Christian” philosophy of this GOP. Osteen is a prosperity gospel preacher. Houston would be well rid of him.

Nathan H. Rubin... “Michelle Wolf made you uncomfortable. Good. Was it mean-spirited? Maybe. But look at Trump’s tweets & tell me why a comedian is held to a higher standard than the President? Also, those Trump supporters who are upset about all of this? Yeah. Let’s take a look ⬇️ #WHCD” The picture is of a man and woman wearing matching tee shirts that say “trump...2016....f*#k your feelings”

Why did Trump insist that Jeff Sessions leave the Oval Office just before pressing Comey to drop the probe into Mike Flynn, unless he suspected he was doing something wrong?” Absolutely, dt knew he was wrong! Just to be open minded in considering another possibility... The full article.

Ah no, not until Sanders apologizes for all the lies she tells the American People on a daily basis.

I didn't say it was fact, I said it was another possibility. And when they repeatedly say in the article that Trump is ignorant, wrong, a mess, this doesn't excuse him, this doesn't exonerate him, etc., then yes, I think the article is objective.

So how did that one act of thoughtfulness by Comey become “initiating the practice of meeting privately with trump”? You really should either stay away from The Federalist or do your homework before you provide “another possibility.”

[tr][td class="content"][article] The fact remains there there is no one worse than trump in being decisive and dividing this nation. To be a leader, you must have a vision for the nation's future that encompasses all walks of life, not simply your own interest. Sadly, there has been no leader since January 2017.

You really should either stay away from The Federalist or do your homework before you provide “another possibility.” The full article lays out this other POSSIBILITY quite clearly. And your dislike of the source doesn't mean it's wrong or that "your" possibility is the only correct possibility. From the article... “Comey reveals that the first time he ever met with Trump, he met with him one-on-one, in private about the ongoing Russia investigation, even dismissing other aides and officials, to assure him he was not under investigation.” That is not true. I mean read Comey’s statement in the article. It was clear why Comey met with trump in private. The “pee pee” tape! Not to tell him he was not under investigation. From the article... “Knowing that, it becomes less surprising that Trump might have thought that’s how the two of them were doing business. That doesn’t mean Trump’s behavior was right. He should have known that meeting privately with Comey on these matters as President-elect was different than meeting with him as President. The propriety and power balance changed after he officially became Comey’s boss. But it fits with what we know of the two men that Comey might make that distinction but Trump wouldn’t.” That might be a valid point except for one minor detail. His staff would know who he is meeting with and even the misfits he surrounds himself with would have told him why he shouldn’t meet privately with the Director of the FBI. And trump being trump doesn’t listen to anyone but himself. What your writer is trying to do is make excuses for trump. On one had he shouldn't have done it but on the other hand it’s all Comey’s fault that trump thought it was ok because the two men were going to have a “New York City” relationship. Based on one private meeting to talk about the “pee pee tape”.
