Donald Trump blasted a Christian bishop, claiming she was a hater for preaching a message of compassion for fellow human beings. I’m not a Christian, but if Christ were real and alive today I’m pretty sure he’d take the side of the bishop over Trump. Am I wrong about that?
Trump exploded in fury at Bishop Marian Budde on Truth Social a little after midnight, calling her a "hater."
As we argue on today's pod, there is nothing MAGA despises more than appeals to common decency and humanity.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
