Trump could sacrifice a newborn in the Oval Office and drink its blood, and no one would hold him to account for it.

but isn’t every marriage technically a threesome since it also involves The Lord? 🤔
In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

Now we have the president calling a female New York Times reporter ugly because he's mad about a story she wrote.

Trump objectively IS the most openly corrupt president in U.S. history. And suing people to stop them from saying it is part of that unprecedented corruption.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

If your members of Congress haven't come out vocally & forcefully in support of @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, CALL THEM & DEMAND they get off the sidelines or lose your vote.

Trump is the most corrupt president in US history, and the openness of his corruption is an essential feature of it. It's particularly bad that this comes as Trump is using state power to punish Sen Mark Kelly for correctly warning against breaking illegal orders.
