تیغ دادن دَر کَفِ زَنگیِ مَست
بِهْ که آیَد عِلم، ناکَس را به دَست
عِلم و مال و مَنصَب و جاه و قِران
فِتنه آمَد دَر کَفِ بَدگوهَران
مولانا مثنوی معنوی
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt

@DerrickGardner@RestoredTruth8 This isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
The Clark quote comes from years later and a hostile source.
Gilbert’s is late as well.
You didn’t cite a source for “the city on a mountain” analogy at all (lol).
There are also these from Harris:
@RestoredTruth8 Do you see those links? Yeah - they’re actual sources. I mean it’s great you’re trusting “faith” but don’t bury your head in the sand… ✌🏼
Trump is like a Christian Nationalist James Bond villain.
Look at this crap. He threatens to cause more death and suffering amongst innocent people then says "Glory be to God"
Nothing about this glorifies God. And he isn't even sincere. He thinks he deserves the glory.
I was a Conservative back in 2015.
Becoming Never Trump then was the easiest, most obvious and self evident decision I ever made.
Like deciding ice water is cold.
If Trump wants boots on the ground in Iran, he should deploy the ICE agents. They've spent months in American cities strutting around like elite military forces. Let’s see how brave and courageous they really are. They can even wear their masks. Now is the time. #FreeIran#ICE
If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to “turn on each other”.
He said similar crap when he was President and the GOP was the party of Bush, McCain and Romney. It’s the language of bitterness and resentment that makes good people recoil to be described that way.
Obama is one of the most divisive figures in US history, except he is celebrated by the MSM because they are partisans. They take sides and loved and protected Obama.
It’s no wonder a tough, no BS, bull in the China shop emerged. That person was a fed up Trump, who broke the MSM by not caring what they thought. He showed Rs they could punch back against the Ds and win. His rise coincided with the welcome birth, at long last, of conservative media which gave voice to the voiceless who had been forced to consume the prejudices of the MSM.
I can’t stand Obama. He was weak, patronizing, condescending and he put America last.
But having listened to him yesterday, I reminded the only good thing he did was help elect President Trump.
