I'm not so naive to think bad people can't pursue beneficial political policies (often accidental to some other not so beneficial objective!) and vice versa, but to anyone who supports Trump *because* they think he is some kind of latter day Christian Paladin, I would say you are deluded.

Who here says that?

Whats hypocritical about pardoning an obvious political prosecution and being for gun control?

I hope no-one here does, but it's certain a view with currency among right wing evangelicals. The word "you" in English is marvellously slippery.  You asked a question where I parsed the "you" as the general "you" which would include the people I'm talking about.

So if you support Dems/Biden that makes somone a good/better christian?

I was just trying to make sense of the logic being used. Trump aint no saint just like Biden is not either. They are all crooks in the end.

as always, the decision is which is more or less crooked, because it makes a difference.

Yet you keep harping on Hunter Biden yet seem to have no qualms with the deal Jared Kushner made directly with the Saudi government. A deal that may have potential security implications and foreign influence. 

Make sense of that. Nobody has said Hunter is a saint. Trump pardoned Kushner's father and gave him an ambassadorship.

Who is the hypocrite here.

Did the Biden admin take Kushner to court over it?

Wheres the hypocrisy in pardoning an obvious political prosecution and supporting gun control?

Same reason we still have diplomat ties with Saudi Arabia after the Kashoggi murder. I would have to think that any administration's concern over airing Saudi dirty laundry in the American media and the foreign policy implications probably had more to due with a decision to let it lie than whatever the facts of the case might have been wrt American law.

I think you know the answer.  Just answer my question for once.

I would say Biden is the hypocrite in this question.  He and his press secretary on many many occasions told multiple news organizations he would not pardon his son.
Did Trump say over and over again he would not pardon Charlie Kushner? Did his official press secretary say he would not?

Interesting.  Before you were saying he was a hypocrite because of gun contol.   Convenient bundlearooskie switcheroo

[pfife]

Biden assuredly became aware of the pending guilty plea of the lying liar whos lies were being used in the political prosecution. In 2024. The  Information obviously changed.

LOL - well, the religious aren't doing a very good job of it so somebody has to.

I wasn’t telling anyone how to do anything. I was just commenting on what can be obviously seen.

The president is a hypocrite for what he did.  No question.

I'm just adding other examples of hypocrites.  I think Christians who support Trump should keep quiet and sit out on discussions of things like that because they are no better.

 

Hypocrite or not, I can hardly blame Biden for not unilaterally disarming while people who explicitly refer to him as the enemy trample over all the norms they criticize him for ignoring.

We can’t account for what’s going on in your head, but that’s not what’s going on out here in the world.

HAPPY NEW YEAR NOLA.      

 

Louisiana loves their guns.   

 

I'm sure it's all Biden's fault.

Working with EV’s this is not normal.

The soon-to-be President, who released a statement with a non-sequitur about immigrants when the crime was committed by an American citizen, doesn't inspire much confidence and seems confused in his own right.
