America is NOT a Christian nation; we ARE a destructive, phony Christian nation at best.

Anyone supporting Donald J. Trump is exposing themselves, their company, and their organization as phony Christians.

Donald Trump is factually the absolute opposite of Jesus of Nazareth, period. Full Stop!

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Indeed. Unlike Charlie Kirk, you can describe and quote the Reiners' work in a glowing memorial piece.

You can't do that with Kirk—his life's work was advocating for hatred and bigotry—and the NYTimes didn't.

Honestly portraying him would have been, as they say, inconceivable.
I'm having trouble finding the "America Mourns Rob and Michelle Reiner" piece from the NY Times Editorial Board.

I don't object to billionaires existing. I just think they should pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as teachers, nurses, and janitors. This seems entirely reasonable to me.
Ever wonder how some billionaires can get away with paying such low tax rates compared to working class Americans? Here’s their secret playbook and what we can do about it.

Polling: "Do you think the rich have too much political power in the U.S.?"

Yes: 80%
No: 8%

Independent voters are 81%/6% on this; even Trump voters are 68%/18%.

Maybe a political party could lead on this issue.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
