@thegodpodcast.com - Peter Thiel seems to be in the news on who the antichrist is. But I think he's throwing shade as his protege in dark eyeliner seems like a good candidate??

attn DJT -
Only King and Dictators have plenary authority.

Plenary authority is power that is wide-ranging, broadly interpreted, and often effectively limitless over a particular matter with the ability to act without needing authorization from a higher power.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Seems like a theme? Weaponization of the DOJ for all supposed enemies of DJT?

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market.

Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee.

The Honey Beez have been body positive, well before popularity. Their criteria is the ability to dance (the purpose of the team) and not a specific size. Some AL schools won't admit to not being body positive with their aux teams, it's well known they won't issue dance uniforms below sz 8.

This means EVERYONE will need to prove their identity prior to treatment. -- if you are found it unconscious after being robbed and they took your ID... Then what?

Call up your troops Pritzker -- give them instructions to show care, community, and an example. Keep them activated so Trump cannot activate them.

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.

You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized.

Except EMTALA - ER workers shouldn't have to spend time in an emergency deciding if a person is legally in the country before treatment. That would affect citizens care too. Save the life... Human life... That's all they should care about. Then you sort out the bill and keep life saving care avail.

In the bill in bold font - NO ACA SUBSIDIES OR BENEFITS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ENTERED THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY OR HAVE AN ORDER TO DEPORT. Take that argument out of the equation.

An additional compromise might be to extend limits on income and exclude those eligible through their work or spouse.

It’s our job to spread the word about the impending rise in healthcare premiums and tie it to the BBB. Average increase will be 114%. To refresh, this woman loaded the whole thing into ChatGPT and asked it to analyze. It is chilling. Send it to your friends and family and remind them what’s at stake
