Hey reasonable person, do you believe they are giving people HIV through the vaccine? A lot of the people in your corner do.

What do you believe is the mechanism in the vaccine that kills people like Vontae Davis, but leaves 99.9% of the people that take it unharmed? Explain it to me like I’m 5.

Someone is having a hissy fit.

I believe professional athletes stress their bodies to the max in contrast to most people. I for one also stress my body to a high degree (a 27 mile hike in the Grand Canyon in September will do that). That is why Christian Eriksen dropped dead in Euro 2020 (held in June 2021). Damar Hamlin dropped dead on one of the very few hits in the NFL that I believe I could endure/survive. Plenty of guys dropping like flies.

Death is also not the only outcome (plenty of heart issues to go around). Since you are having a hissy fit like you are 5, take a look at your very own insurance data. Life insurance became a bad business once the death jab was injected in 70 percent of the country. You know the truth but won't accept it. Very similar to Trump, you knew he was the best president for you and your family, but you still couldn't do it.

Please thank people like Uncoach (pragmatic types) and cult members like me every day as your life improves thanks to DJT. I know the stock market has reached new heights for me thanks to Trump's first 48 hours. The market and country love what he has done and is doing. Hopefully, he can take the trash out of Colorado to improve your life. Of course, had Kamala won thanks to spineless people who couldn't for Trump sitting it out, you would have plenty to complain about through 2029.

Who is Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road founder Trump pardoned​

Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, was unconditionally pardoned by President Donald Trump.Free Ross Ulbricht

• President Donald Trump granted Ross Ulbricht a full and unconditional pardon on Tuesday.
• Ulbricht was the founder of Silk Road, the online drug marketplace.
• He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2015.

Ross Ulbricht, the founder of online drug marketplace Silk Road, received a full and unconditional pardon on Tuesday from President Donald Trump, who announced the move in a Truth Social post.
Ulbricht has been held at the US Penitentiary in Tucson since the FBI arrested him in 2013.
The FBI described Silk Road as a "digital bazaar" for illegal goods and services that buyers and sellers accessed through Tor — a network designed to conceal its users' identity and location.
The FBI said it generated hundreds of millions of dollars in sales, as well as more than $13 million in commissions.
In 2015, a judge sentenced Ulbricht, now 40, to life in prison for drug trafficking, computer hacking, and money laundering without the possibility of parole, ruling that Silk Road was "destructive to our social fabric."

Libertarian cause célèbre​

"Silk Road was supposed to be about giving people the freedom to make their own choices, to pursue their own happiness," he added.
Ulbricht also said, "While I still don't think people should be denied this right, I never sought to create a site that would provide another avenue for people to feed their addictions."
However, according to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, the "vast" majority of goods sold on Silk Road were illegal drugs.
Preet Bharara, the then-US Attorney for Manhattan, said at the time that: "Make no mistake: Ulbricht was a drug dealer and criminal profiteer who exploited people's addictions and contributed to the deaths of at least six young people."
Ulbricht was convicted of seven offenses after a four-week jury trial and sentenced to life in prison. He was also ordered to forfeit $183,961,921.

Trump's pardoning power​

In his Truth Social post, Trump called Ulbricht's sentences "ridiculous."
In a statement on Tuesday, Angela McArdle, the Libertarian National Committee Chair, thanked Trump for following through on his promise.
"I'm proud to say that saving his life has been one of our top priorities, and that has finally paid off," she said.
"This is an incredible moment in Libertarian history," McArdle added.
On Monday, Trump also issued sweeping pardons for roughly 1,500 people related to the January 6 Capitol riot, fulfilling a campaign promise to wipe clean the records of most people connected with the riot.

I AM WAITING TO SEE HOW YOU CULTISTS RATIONALIZE THIS!

Easy to rationalize it. Trump SAID he was going to do it during the campaign, the people heard him say he was going to do it, the people of America overwhelmingly elected Donald Trump (@JeffT818 ), and after the inauguration he did it.

It is quite the opposite of Biden saying he would never issue pre-emptive pardons and would not pardon his own son.

So because he said he was going to grant these pardons to convicted felons, that makes it OK. LOL Cult leader can do no wrong. The people did not overwhelmingly elect Trump. He got less than half the votes of those that actually voted like 49.5%, Kamala got about 1.5% less like 48% .

What an outrageous disgrace for a Christian clergy person to speak of mercy and understanding of the plight of others. I have to shake my head at how unchristian and unamerican the MAGA cultists are, unbelievable human beings.

Trump received approximately 60 percent of the Electoral Votes - pretty overwhelming.

Whether I agree with this particular pardon or not (I have not studied it), he said he was going to do it and did it. Did the guy murder FBI agents or anyone else for that matter? No. Did he rape or molest women and/or children? No.

I've got no problem with you not liking this pardon for Ross U. For me, it does not move the needle one way or the other. I'm worried about foreign wars, the economy, the invasion led by the Democrats, crime, and fair elections.

That's who pardons by definition apply to-- convicted criminals. I don't know anything about that guy or his case. Only in the last couple of months has the novel concept of pardoning supposedly innocent people just in case they are investigated and evidence is found against them been introduced into the powers of POTUS.

The national prayer the day after the inauguration is a tradition. It wasn’t the time or place to be political. She can believe what she wants and spout that nonsense at other times when appropriate. BTW, did you know she is also an anti-semite? It appears you are attempting to gaysplain to the person who posted on X. Just another loser post of yours. I’m not even going to address your complete misrepresentation of Christian empathy.

I find it amusing the left usually only likes freedom for nonviolent convicts if they are minorities.

Btw, Biden set a presidential record with over 8,000 pardons before Trump took office. Did you say anything about those people? Maybe you should spend some time combing through that mountain of trouble.

There is a difference between a sermon(which it was supposed to be) and a lecture to one person in a pew. It is not the clergy's job to judge, condemn or lecture an individual in the congregation.

The Biden Admin blew the doors off of number of pardons by an administrations. It isn't even close. There is no defending that administration, but numbskull27 still gargles the koolaid 24/7.

They will be, but there's a reason the Dems are trying to hold up Bondi and Patel votes.

The discussion is about this guy, read the post, not the concept of pardons in the abstract.

Just an FYI, Nixon had not been convicted of anything, but Ford pardoned him. There is precedent for such, but not on the scale the Biden administration did. BTW, we have been told it's Trump who has been busy breaking our institutions. It's no surprise who the culprits actually are.

Are you speaking of the Episcopal bishop in Washington?

Words that never appeared In that sermon lecture:

Mercy
Grace
Love
Hope
Peace
Forgiveness

Also (and importantly), there was no mention of Jesus.
