While emotionally satisfying, firing the symptom isn't going to cure the disease.

Wow, there IS something better than freaking out Trump-worshipers — freaking out *Russian* Trump-worshipers.

Matthew 4:8-9: And then Trump took MAGA to a very high mountain & showed them all the kingdoms of the world, & he said to them, "All these I will give to Myself, if you will worship me. And I will make the people you hate suffer more than you suffer." So MAGA began to worship the Lord Donold Trump.

While I mourn Charlie Kirk’s death, I cannot in good conscience participate in his glorification; for reasons I describe in the linked post below.

open.substack.com/pub/reluctan...

I mourn Charlie Kirk not because of what he believed, but because of what I believe as a follower of Jesus

And I find his glorification and the demonization of his critics disturbing and dangerous.

My goodness, what woman would be repulsed by the Adjudicated Rapist in Chief refusing to let go of her hand?

She's plainly repulsed by him, understandably so.

Conservatives, I realize that this is hard to hear, but many, many people are injured by your policies. At least half of us are inherently good and capable of being injured — by you. Especially now that you feel you've been unleashed by America's first god-emperor.

Rachel Bitecofer @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social · 22h

Liberals,

I realize this is hard to hear but many, many people are not inherently good.

At least half are inherently bad and capable of terrible, terrible things.

Esp once they feel like they’ve been unleashed.

Trump hates this picture.
You know what to do.

In England, it's okay to "smack" children if someone decides it's "reasonable."

Alan Shearer and Michael Caine join calls for PM to ban smacking

Smacking is already banned in Wales and Scotland, but in England, the Children's Act allows for the practice in cases where it is "reasonable punishment".

Totally root out Trumpublican corruption.

The one and only time I'm likely to agree with the Convicted Felon in Chief: the USMCA trade deal in 2019 was signed by a fool.

I pledge allegiance to King Donald, and to the autocracy for which he stands, one Nation, under Trump, divided between Reich and left, with liberty and justice for Trumpublican billionaires only.

The rumor is that Trumpublicans "can't" end the government shutdown because Americans don't like the shutdown.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

If President Obama had activated the Texas National Guard against "crime" in Dallas, against Gov. Abbott's wishes, Trumpublican screams would have been heard in Antarctica.

If a man's presidency can be destroyed by revealing that he used to be a child rapist, it SHOULD be destroyed by revealing that he used to rape children.

Eric Trump is "saving Christianity." He's "saving God." You know, because Eric's God is so weak, stupid, and all-loving without Eric and his friends to "save" him.

Rev. Ken Howard @reluctantprophet.bsky.social · 20h

This is Eric Trump, pretending to know something about Christianity. You don’t “save” God; God saves you.” Maybe that’s why your dad is afraid he’s not ascending.

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.
