There is an extradition case pending in which the Trump administration is seeking to extradite back to Iraq an Iraqi granted refugee status. This is for a terrorist murder for which the evidence of this man's involvement is blatantly false. His lawyers have documented beyond a reasonable doubt -- way beyond a reasonable doubt -- that he was not even in Iraq at the time the terrorist killing took place. The extradition treaty does not require a finding by the American court as to the validity of the charges. But in this case, his lawyers argue, U.S complicity in sending an almost certainly innocent man back to Iraq to face almost certain death would be a travesty, against all the values this country has always stood for.

I don't have time for links or a brief description, but lawyers say the problem is this: The Trump administration has argued that terrorists have illegally entered the United States by posing as refugees without being able to cite one example and this case will give them one. They want this extradition to go forward for political reasons. The man's life seems to mean nothing.

The underlying problem is, lawyers say (even some former government lawyers), the administration is headed by a man who has demonstrated he has absolutely no regard for justice or fairness, that he only cares about 'winning.' Appeals to a sense of justice fall on deaf ears.

That we have a president who has no sense of justice is very scary. :(
 
You really got to love Trump. He really is the biggest and best President. No President even comes close.

At lying that is. Not only has Trump told more public lies than Obama, or that he has told more public lies than every President through Roosevelt, or that he's told more lies than all those Presidents combined, he's told at least ten times as many lies as all those Presidents combined.

And he didn't need even need a full term to accomplish that. The fact is, he didn't even require a year to do that.
 
From a Politico article of two years ago:
Millions of Americans,” declared Jeffress at a July 2017 event his First Baptist Church of Dallas sponsored in Washington, D.C., “believe the election of President Trump represented God giving us another chance—perhaps our last chance to truly make America great again. Link

He might go to his favorite: “Someone told me that. I wasn’t given the correct information.” Of course, the press never follows up with, “is someone going to be fired for giving you such embarrassingly wrong information?”

Blaming others is high on the list of Trump options here.

Seems rather strange, her praying for abortions.

Even stranger, these are the people that claim God is responsible for all pregnancies. That's why rape victims who get pregnant, even some as young as 11, shouldn't have an abortion.

I don't see how US Christianity can recover from Trump.

Recover? Certain elements of it seem to be doing better than ever.

Yeah, including SCOTUS Justices. As with the state of the Republican Party, Trump's connection to the religious right is more of a result than a cause; and the two are closely linked.

That said, I don't see how either the Republican Party or Christian faith of my youth can recover from their current idiocy.
