I hate it when I go to Portland for a ten dollar cup of coffee, and I walk into the brand new coffee shop to see if they have any gluten free panini, and it turns out it's just a plywood backdrop from a stage play and everyone laughs at me.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

You know, I really do think he is this disconnected from reality. It's not a bit. His staff treat him like a mushroom, and run with the outputs.

i think "TACO" now is actually totally wrong. it's not that Trump chickens out. it's that maintaining a tariff regime requires object permanence

And I still think the creed and the rituals are important, but without DOING SOMETHING they are the dead faith without works.

I was surprised he was a Presbyterian! I thought they were stuffier. But see, this is my whole point. There's a creed. There are rituals. But there's also this thing where you are informed by the Holy Ghost and go out there and DO SOMETHING!

There have always been these two movements, at least since Constantine. They have nothing to do with each other ideologically but sometimes they even go to the same church. People living the Gospel and people who think the Gospel-livers are weirdos.
