re: Trump shares post calling for the arrest of Obama
Posted by Mr. Misanthrope on 5/13/26 at 3:12 am to Eurocat
Your post left me with questions and the link didn’t answer them.
I’m assuming it’s the shared post’s original conclusion and not added by the President.
My only other comments are that, while morally reprehensible, I don’t believe “treachery” is a capital crime, and that I hope someone in our government has the capability, the power, the will, and the balls to prosecute, convict, and punish the entire treacherous cabal for their seditious and treasonous actions.
quote:The post President Trump shared simply didn’t contain or enumerate the evidence for treason; it didn’t claim evidence doesn’t exist.
President Donald Trump shared a Truth Social post late Monday night that called for the arrest of Barack Obama, accusing the former president of treason, without evidence.
quote:It’s not clear if the quoted text was in its entirety the conclusion of the post President Trump shared or if was emphasis the President added to the original.
“Arrest them all. Prosecute them all. Incarcerate them all at once for treachery, treason, and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States government. But first, Barack Obama,” the end of the post read.

How can people be "poor" and be so fricking fat
An unapproved narrative is that feeding a small family McDonald’s, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, and Dominoe’s Pizza for a few days is possibly worth a week’s worth of more nutritious and healthy groceries.
This counter-argument, like the discouraging word of Home on the Range fame, is seldom heard.

Walker Percy and his two brothers were adopted by their relative William Alexander Percy (son of Senator Leroy Percy).
Will Percy's Lanterns on the Levee is a must read for every Southern gentleman and lady.
A copy should be kept on your bedside table.
Walker Percy contributed the introduction to the 1973 edition.
Interestingly Shelby Foote was part of that group of Percy brothers and was Walker’s best friend. If I recall accurately, Foote was with him at his deathbed.
The Percy brothers were adopted by their uncle because their father killed himself with a shotgun. Now that I think about it, so did Archie Manning’s father, in Drew, not too far away from Greenville where Will Percy raised them.
Walker Percy’s novels are permeated with the trauma of the events and seemingly him attempting to make sense of the tragedy, or, in some ways, work through it using his craft to explore it.

Big fan. Got a couple of first printing/first issue.
I really enjoy all of his stuff but Love in the Ruins is probably my favorite. The Moviegoer is a remarkable work, especially as a first effort. It’s a favorite because the territory of deals with in New Orleans and environs are so familiar to me.
Love in the Ruins is funny and dark simultaneously and fairly balanced between the two with a large dose of sardonic cynicism. A lot like his other works, but some of them are weighted more to the dark side than others, notably Lancelot and The Thanatos Syndrome.
In Ruins a hypocritical pair of English new age gurus groom Dr. Thomas More’s wife, out for her money to fund a commune in Mexico. Dr. More, commenting on the Englishmen, says they “sat on their broad potato fed asses, spoke of the Hindu reverence for life and fell on my steaks like jackals.” :Lol:

I think the argument might be...if the Bible is supposed to be some complete work of truth about the universe why would it completely omit the rest of life in the universe?
Something like that. The Bible speaks to mankind’s plight here on Earth and God’s redemptive acts to restore the fractured relationship between the created and Creator.
Insofar as I can tell the Holy Scriptures are silent on the status of life on planets in the vast Universe, if such life exists at all. Did they have a cataclysmic rupture in their relationship with God? Perhaps they didn’t. If they did, was Jesus Christ’s perfect, once for all, propitiatory sacrifice for sin, efficacious for them also?
I think the message eventually to come from alien beings will be one of light, hope, peace, and unity. A higher spiritual reality than organized religions offer, especially Christianity. Ultimately it’s deception and demonic at its core.
Jesus Christ is LORD, Savior, Messiah, and Creator. There is no salvation except in his name. Nobody comes to the Father except through him. Anything else is the spirit of anti-Christ.

Good teachers deserve great pay. But “Educators” are often less than worthless. Agenda driven programmed robots.

It does relative to your age. To wait a year for the next Christmas is an endless ordeal for a six year old grandson. For his Seventy-three year old Poppa, it’s the blink of an eye. A year is 1/6 of his life and 1/73 of mine. He’s on the outer rim of the whirlpool; I’m being pulled under in the center. I’m living life really fast now.
