Clark Gilbert espoused the freedom to choose and encouraged “moral agency.” But under his leadership, interviewees say, the Church Educational System seems to favor obedience to rigid doctrinal interpretations over personal choice.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Courts have consistently ruled that per the First Amendment what churches do with tithes is up to them, but even then it is still interesting to see that a percentage of funds I donated wound up building the City Creek mall.

Neither Trump nor the GOP in congress have this power, & the only way they do this is if we decline to stand up for our rights. He's had a string of electoral defeats & rightfully fears the midterms. His outbursts are real threats, but they come from weakness. Tough shit, he's going down. No Kings.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

So I guess we are supposed to believe that Trump isn’t shutting down the Kennedy Center because pretty much every show and performer canceled on them and the facility would’ve been completely empty for the remainder of his term.
