It is incredible that subby is still trying to defend this openly corrupt idiot! Trump has publicly admitted that he is perfectly willing to break the law, if it will help get him reelected. I am reminded of former press secretary, Sean Spicer's foolish attempt to explain, in effect, that corruption is legal as long as it done openly, with no attempt to deliberately conceal it.

Is it also okay to break the law, if one admits in advance that one is considering doing it?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

If you try to defend the actions of an idiot, you don't generally exonerate the idiot. You become the idiot.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Without a doubt!

whereas you consistently become the idiot on your own merits.
