If you look where we started you can see that we have come a very long way indeed, on the other hand if you look at where we are headed we still have a long way to go.

However, the way is very clear -- Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one arrives there but by Him. If he was unjustly tried, then we should not expect anything different.

Yes, our presidents do not meet the standard, but they still need to be given the first chance. Just like David, the father let all the other sons appear before Samuel first, only after they had been given every chance did he bring in David.

If Trump is claiming to clean up the situation, then I am all for that. It is a very bold and ambitious claim. If it turns out he is completely incapable of cleaning up the situation it demonstrates that he was arrogant and a fool. You cannot run for office on a platform that the situation is corrupt and needs to be cleaned up ("drain the swamp") and then when you are elected complain that the situation is corrupt. I agree completely that the situation is corrupt. I agree completely that it needs to be cleaned up. I think I am the only one on this forum who has claimed 911 was an inside job. So as corrupt as you might claim it is, I obviously feel it is more corrupt. I blame the CIA for Fake news since 1977, so there is nothing new there. I blame the CIA for JFK's assassination and the coup d'etat. Now I can see a reasonable basis for debate 40 years ago, but not today. Documents have since been declassified from Nixon's administration which prove this was the case and they explain why Nixon had to resign rather than let his henchman take the fall.

The only value I see in what has happened with Trump is that the situation is becoming clearer for many more people to see.
