    We don't belong on the human rights council.. Trump doesn't even know that Puerto Ricans are humans or Americans.
    Naturally your mates the Saudis do, we all know how much they support human rights.

    I agree with the first part of this, the second part is blatantly stupid. If anything, Puerto Ricans are Americans of convenience

    Don't you know that Palestine, all of it, belongs to the Palestinians, not a gang of foreign racist colonists?

    Meaning what? They don't call refugees "refugees" and they don't keep them in refugee camps.

    They do execute people in public, treat third world women as sex slaves and execute raped women though. Oh and they are currently cracking down hard on women's rights activists.

    We also liked to execute people by ramming red hot pokers up their arses. We should bring that back for people like you.

    Donald Trump’s Amen Corner: Prosperity Preachers and Dominionists

    By Peter Montgomery | May 9, 2016 3:09 pm
    While Ted Cruz had the backing of most Religious Right leaders in his now-suspended presidential campaign, Donald Trump has had his own amen corner among preachers of the God-wants-you-to-be-rich prosperity gospel, including a group who laid hands on him last fall. At that meeting, Florida-based prosperity preacher Paula White prayed that “any tongue that rises against him will be condemned according to the word of God.”

    It’s not really surprising that preachers who tout wealth as a sign of God’s favor would line up with a blustery billionaire like Trump, who says his riches are proof that he’s qualified to fix what’s wrong with the country. What is a bit more surprising is the support Trump is getting from a leading advocate of Seven Mountains dominionism, which teaches that government and other spheres of influence — “mountains” like media, entertainment, business — are meant to be run by the right kind of Christians.

    Lance Wallnau is an influential leader in the Seven Mountains movement. In 2011, he declared that it is the obligation of Christians to “seize those high places” in order to bring about the return of Jesus Christ — something he has said they should do by both “overt” and “covert” means. In 2012, he said that the mountains of government, media, and economics were currently occupied by Satan.

    Wallnau has been pushing Trump for a while now. In November he declared that God has given Trump “an anointing for the mantle of government.” But why would someone who thinks Christians with a “biblical worldview” are supposed to be running the world throw his support to Trump rather than Ted Cruz or one of the other candidates who put their faith at the center of their campaigns?

    Steve Strang, publisher of the Pentecostal Charisma Magazine, put that question to Wallnau in a recent podcast interview. Strang had been a Ted Cruz supporter, but after Cruz dropped out of the race he quickly declared that he has shifted his loyalty and support to Trump.

    “When God wants to move in history, he doesn’t always pick the favorite evangelical,” said Wallnau. He said that God brought Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill to power at crucial moments in history, the way He is now raising up Trump for our time. And he knows this, Wallnau said, because God told him so.

    No .. I was not a teacher. Most of the people who write about the Saudis are like you. They don't have a clue.
