Robert Jeffress, head of the First Baptist Dallas megachurch, told CBN on Tuesday that a biblical passage in Romans allows rulers to use “whatever means necessary ― including war ― to stop evil.”

He said:

“In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un. I’m heartened to see that our president ― contrary to what we’ve seen with past administrations who have taken, at best, a sheepish stance toward dictators and oppressors ― will not tolerate any threat against the American people.”

Jeffress also said:

“When @POTUS draws a red line, he will not erase, move, or back away from it. Thank God for pres. who is serious ab. protecting our country.”

Ok then.

Sure, a letter written to Romans about not openly rebelling against the Roman Empire is actually about America being World Police.

This guy also said Obama was “paving the way for the antichrist”, so he’s out there.

Almost everyone is still doing it wrong.

Yeah, I guess I don’t really get the criteria. Am I supposed to point to a thread where they were super cool?

It’s been over 7 years.

Trump retweeted a post from the Fox News morning show promoting the story said to contain classified information.

Linking to leaked information on your social media account is literally something explained by a cartoon Uncle Sam in required annual training.

After taking a few weekends off for a 1960s Batman TV show marathon and 1966 film to honor Adam West after his passing, my Summer of Rogue is now back on. As of Sunday, it can now buy alcohol legally. 😉

You’ve been watching Rogue One since 1996?!

I’ve got it: Rey was conceived by the Force, like Anakin, but this time there was no mother.

How did you find my fanfiction?

It’s hard to miss with this cover image.

I’ve got it: Rey was conceived by the Force, like Anakin, but this time there was no mother.

But what you really want is a throwaway line where it doesn’t matter. Which means the whole “who are Rey’s parents?” plot might end up being “Luke and a random lady” for 95% of the audience.

People seem to think Mara Jade has some kind of secret following among the common folk that won’t require any kind of explanation about who she is, just adding her will make an instant hit. Meanwhile in the Doctor Who thread, people were telling stories about educating people who Spock is, who actually has a cultural impact.

I’m fully aware most people have no idea who she is, but adding her in wouldn’t require that much explanation, especially if she’s missing/dead by the ST days and it doesn’t matter who she is.

“Mara Jade is your mother!”

“Who?”

“You know, Emperor’s Hand, she helped do Palpatine’s dirty work.”

“An Inquisitor?”

“No…”

“A Dark Jedi?”

“Not quite.”

“Well, how’d she get together with you?”

“After she tried to kill me for years and turned out OK and I gave her this lightsaber, I feel in love with a computer–”

“I thought Jedi weren’t allowed to love.”

“Look, kid, who’s the teacher here?”

Agree with NG on dialing back the volume, but I could really use some terrible canned crying from Padme.

Maybe Eccleston didn’t believe the reboot of Doctor Who was actually going to work. Think about how little Patrick Stewart was prepared for Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first couple years. It’s just a TV show to some, most eventually grow to love the role, but some just don’t.

What if in the future the SW fan community does succeed in convincing Disney to release the OUT in 4K but then 10-15 years later when 8k(4320p) is released Disney, for whatever reason, chooses not to budge on releasing it like they are now. What then?

Since you’ll have to be 5 inches from a screen the size of Rhode Island to see the pixels for 8k, I don’t think it’ll be much of a consumer thing.

Is it a good idea to show ANH:R to children as their first SW experience?

Sure, why not?

Even though he said a while ago that he wouldn’t kill Lando off in ROTJ:R, I still feel worried if he changed his mind.

I’ve already killed him off in ESB:R

You’re hilarious. 😄

HE CAN GET A JOKE!

Pardon me for being oblivious to the joke this whole time, but I have Asperger’s, and it’s hard for me to read social cues sometimes, especially if it’s all in text.

I understand that, but I personally have explained that it’s a joke many times before, but you still brought it up over multiple means of communication. I’m glad you finally believe me.

Is Star Trek Online fun? I’m a huge Trek fan and it’s the only Trek game I’m aware of that people have good things to say about.

I didn’t get into it, but you can’t argue with free. You can at least give it a shot.

He didn’t change his mind. He was never going to do it.

That didn’t take long.

Edit: this was posted about above and I stupidly missed it.

I missed it too, Warb, hence my edited post right above yours.

I don’t use Unlimited, but I use Comixology for all my comics needs.

They weren’t planning on that, but I love the idea.

I’m saying this isn’t a debate. Adywan does what he wants. The fact that in the canon you quote actually has the Death Star finished at Scarif is the point. Why would the Empire move it from Geonosis to Scarif, then move it to Ganleigh for two days when the only difference between Scarif and Adywan’s planet is the shade of blue he already pointed out would have matched Scarif if people hadn’t convinced him to change it?
