IDK my BIL served in the military, I keep asking what he's thinking. He believes they are going to ask the governor of KY to run as veep. I don't know where it goes from here. I feel like we are all strapped in one of those rides at the fair and we can't get out. Right now we're caught in a loop hanging upside down waiting for rescue. Not very high brow or intelligent, but it's exactly how I feel at the moment.
Can you clarify what you are describing? Is this about the upcoming election process?
This is not from some fringe leftist internet whacko. This is a Rutgers Professor.
It all only proves those of us that take the Biblical approach that things will get worse ( “The love of many will grow cold “) and THEN the Lord will return appear to be correct.

EXCLUSIVE: A professor at Rutgers University posted to Facebook after someone tried to kill former President Donald Trump, writing “Let’s hope today’s events inspire others.”
A source provided Campus Reform with the Facebook posts, which were made by Rutgers University Writing Program Assistant Teaching Professor Tracy Budd in the hours after someone tried to assassinate Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
”Let’s hope today’s events inspire others,” Budd said in one post.
”They shot his wig. Sad,” Budd wrote in another.
Budd’s Facebook is set to private, but her cover picture contains a poster at a protest that read: “Capitalism will kill us all. Gender is fake. Eat garbage. Be free.”
Budd is also the editor of Dialogues@RU, an undergraduate research journal, “which teaches students the crucial skills of critical reading and thinking, scholarly research, synthesis, and analytic writing across the disciplines.”

Budd commented on a Facebook post in April and stated she has worked at the Rutgers University Writing Program for 22 years.
Budd isn’t the only professor to make similar comments after the assassination attempt.
Uju Anya, an associate professor of second language acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University, suggested the assassination attempt was staged.
“People dying doesn’t make the attack any less staged. Someone who thought the attack was real could’ve killed others trying to prevent harm. Also, someone could’ve shot the shooter to hide the plot,” associate professor of second language acquisition, Uju Anya, tweeted.
Campus Reform reached out to Budd and Rutgers several times for comment.

No, it’s an observation of what’s going on in the world. The upcoming election is just a part of it. It’s mainly the similar thing happening in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. It’s like a ship on full throttle and no one cares.
Well I know I can't do anything about it. Best I can do is not add to the problem by spouting my own unfounded opinions. And believe me, I sure have a bunch of them I could spout, but I don't have any solid verification for any of them and it wouldn't do any good to spout them anyway.
Yea it certainly seems like they perceive now that their goose is cooked. Will they repent or not is to be seen.
Quite a few people have lost their jobs over similar postings.... I don't believe this will happen at a University, though. Perhaps if enough people protest it, and withdraw any funding from them... I used to work with a guy that would have said "those kind of comments will make me lose my religion..." I hope I'm never in reaching distance of someone that says something like that.... might be too much of a test....This is not from some fringe leftist internet whacko. This is a Rutgers Professor.

Yes, by shutting down the Internet.
It is better to not know when extremism and de-humanization happens. We don't need to know what's happening on every corner of the world at every moment.
I spent most of the morning filling out a ballot on the local level.
I know most people are against mail-in ballots and I understand why, but I choose them because it gives me time to read up/study about the issues and candidates while I'm voting. I'm not politically savvy so I never feel confident about voting to begin with. But after skipping voting one year, I felt God told me it was part of my being a Christian citizen. Many years ago I had a boss who said, "People died to give you that right," and I felt convicted ever since. I can't let the ultimate sacrifice of so many and their families be in vain.
I spent a few hours doing as much studying as I could, filled it out, then prayed that I had made the choices God wanted me to make.
I could be wrong but I felt that God told me that my voting would be ok either way.
Either I had voted for the candidates God is behind, or if I somehow didn't, I believe God told me that if He has faith-filled, believing people seeking His guidance, it gives Him a chance to confront those who are going against His will.
I always think of the story of Samson insisting on marrying a Philistine woman, even though his parents were understandably in great dismay. However, the Bible says, "His parents did not know this was from the Lord, because He was seeking a reason to confront the Philistines." (Judges 14)
I could be wrong, but I believe that as a Bible-believing, God's-will-seeking Christian, I either put my support behind those God is supporting, or else gave God another reason to confront those He is opposing, because I prayerfully did the best I could with the knowledge I was able to find at the time.

Theoretically yes, but in my opinion the criteria for it must be met before going to war. I believe it’s too early to conclude on that at this point. The situation could change quickly, though.

This viewpoint Butt is displaying is an example of left wing extremism.
