US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

From the Rolling Stone magazine - MAGA Leaders Claim God Spared Trump’s Life

“God protected President Trump” - Marco Rubio

“God protected Trump” - House Speaker Mike Johnson

“By the slightest turn of your head in a mere microsecond, or the shield of a teleprompter, your life was spared by the Grace of a Merciful and Holy God. God has had his hand on you since you first ran for President. No man could survive all you have been through without the Grace of God.” - Lt. Gov. of Texas Dan Patrick

“They tried to bankrupt him. They tried to slander him. They tried to imprison him. Now they have tried to kill him, but if God is protecting him, they will never succeed. With all my heart Trump is being protected by God as part of a larger design for the country. Trump is called for this moment in history. God is not done with our country.” - Dr. Ben Carson former Trump Cabinet member

“A gust of wind may have pushed that bullet ever so slightly. The Holy Spirit in scripture is often associated with a gust of wind. God’s hand is on Donald Trump.” - Christian nationalist Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA

The Christian nationalist evangelist Lance Wallnau helped popularize the notion that Trump - “is a modern-day Cyrus, an old testament pagan king whom God used for divine purposes.” Appearing on the far-right religious broadcast Flashpoint, Wallnau said that a nicking of Trump’s ear, instead of a deadly wound, proved that God is “ruling in the details.”

By Sunday, Trump himself was getting behind the idea that Providence had protected his life. Posting on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude for the nation’s “thoughts and prayers,” because, he wrote, it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.”

The post continued in language more typical of a brimstone preacher than the bombastic former president: “We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” it said, adding that Americans should be united in not allowing “Evil to Win.”

To summarize

The poor marksmanship of a 20-year-old shooter, who reportedly was barred from his high school rifle club and may have been rushed by a local cop trying to stop his rampage, is a more likely explanation for why the shots on Trump lacked accuracy.

The notion of divine intervention itself raises uncomfortable questions — including why a just deity would allow a local former fire department leader to perish in the same attack, while shielding his wife and daughter. Or why such a God, for example, didn’t spare the school children of Uvalde from a similar deadly shooter with an AR-15.

But such qualms did not appear to trouble MAGA stalwarts, whose blind faith in the righteousness of far-right American politics continues to rival, if not trump, any genuine faith in Jesus

Just saying, if a guy like Vance can eventually become a Trump fan, so too can you and the Dude. :wink:

Met several times, neighbour and friend of friends. Very nice woman, her head is huge in proportion to the rest of her.

From the opening of the RNC Convention - Trump makes an appearance

Head of Teamsters give the longest speach of the night to the Teamsters are not supporting either party. A big loss for the Dems.

Catholic priest doing the closing Christian prayer, there was also a Sikh woman doing one, steals the night with a Trump imitation.

Yeah, what sane person would agree to a staged assassination attempt where his party hires a random 20yo area man with an assault rifle to gingerly nick his ear from over 150 yards out? Did they advertise this job on the FB Marketplace?

The Elites always win because useful idiots are so easy to brainwash... which makes them so incredibly... useful. And idiotic.

Biden is trying to turn it into a 2nd Amendment issue.

As a European I could easily get behind the idea that 20 year olds shouldn't be allowed to run around with AR15s in public places.

But, yeah, I know Americans think a place only gets safer the more guns there are there. So there's that.

Europeans feverishly surrendered their arms in the last couple of decades leading up to the "grand replacement "occuring right now

This is the time we should all be acquiring and learning how to handle life saving equipment like the AR15
