You don't have much acquaintanship with his late night show, then. All right, but I didn't say that he cannot be funny.

I do think that he was much funnier before he began vying for the role of chief advisor to the American public on presidential politics, though.

Is his political advice good?

Now that the documents for the guilty plea and the arrests as well as the conditions for house-arrest for the two people who are pleading "not guilty" are in the public domain is it time to impeach Donald? What kind of moral values has the current administration and the Trump campaign been displaying?

The same every candidate has, they just got caught. There is a little matter of tying Donald to all this as in proof, a little soon to bring out the lynch mob and believe me I am no fan of his

You notice that the lynch mob was determined to impeach the president because, as they claimed, he had colluded with the Russians, etc, etc. Now, however, we see that the indictments handed down by the special prosecutor don't have anything to do with President Trump, although they seem to have something to do with the Clintons, Hillary's campaign team, and Obama.

Consequently, the mob is left to say "impeach him" on, well, general grounds like "He's not very presidential" or "his moral values are not what we approve of" or "He's damaging the USA."

It's funny for being so pathetic, except that the effort by one of the major political parties to overthrow the government is something I thought I'd never see in this country during my lifetime.

He is damaging the USA. It is like having an agent of a hostile foreign power in the role of President of the USA.

About the same moral values as Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt, Hoover, etc.
Morality has never been a high point of American politicians.

Evangelicals made such a big noise about moral values you'd think that they might have meant what they said.

The US is much like ancient Israel, we have a cultural Christianity and an entertainment Christianity, but a much smaller number whom God has truly adopted as his children.
That being said, the place where Christianity is growing at rates higher than the early church is in China. It is now estimated that there are more Christians in China than Communist Party members.

They did. No one is perfect. You have to prioritize what you care about. They made a set of tradeoffs that I don't think are wise, and I also think they believed anti-Clinton propaganda.

That is probably true. I do not know why so many USA voters voted for Donald nor why so many Christian voters agreed with Donald's ridiculous claims about Hillary but they did. So I keep wondering how their moral values square with their votes.

I wrote in Yeshua Christos for President. Our two elite parties do not represent my views thus I do not support their candidates.

Were there no other candidates? Just Donald and Hillary?

Yes. It’s a good indicator that the person is going to do other things that I approve of also.

I've never thought of guns as a moral value. What moral precept does gun ownership fulfil?
