Steinbeck is 🔥.
Unfortunately, it’s more nuanced than that.

In general, paywalls are super imperfect mechanisms to try to help journalist get paid.

Because the right-wing spends millions of dollars to make their propaganda freely available, often paywalls obscure excellent journalism.

But, yeah, not this time.

This is the first time in my life I’ve been grateful for paywalls.

I’m not familiar with that part of the story. Would you please cite the verse?

Asking Republicans to dump Trump for his bad behavior is like asking grizzly bears to dump honey drizzled salmon.

Keep in mind, these are the same people who say the 15-year-old can’t get an abortion without parental consent after being impregnated by said adult men.

The evangelicals have always been fine with it:
And, remember, whatever comes out, evangelicals used the Bible to defend this behavior. They’ve proactively deemed it acceptable. “King David was a man after God’s heart,” remember? So, whatever Trump did, it doesn’t matter. They’re fine with it. Because scripture gives him permission to do so.
Republicans call these allegations “credentials.”

Whatever comes out, it will only boost his standing with Republicans… especially Republican women.

Every Republican knew what kind of a person he is when they voted for against him. No need to play dumb.

Hence his appeal to Republicans.
Still working our way through approx. 23,000 pages of Epstein related documents released by House Oversight Cmte.

In another email.. this one from Feb. 2017.. Epstein references Trump

What does this reply even mean? It’s always a “you don’t understand” word salad.

This, this, this. Republicans, especially evangelical Christians are fine with this.

Remember their justification: the Bible says this is OK. God uses horrible people, so it’s fine.
It's so bizarre that the breaking news today is yet more proof that Trump did exactly what everyone already knows he did

It’s like riding a bicycle. Practice. Juggling for the Complete Klutz works.
