…Luckily Francis did manage to disempower some of the worst, like Bishop Joseph Strickland who spoke at the pre-Jan 6 far right Jericho march and called for the overthrow of the US government. He also called Pope Francis a usurper.
Maddow reveals the likeliest reason the Pope fired this ultraconservative bishop
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported on Monday about Pope Francis' decision to fire Joseph Strickland, a far-right Texas bishop who spent months attacking him as illegitimate — and suggested that there migh...

Too bad Pope Francis wasn’t ably to replace all of those bishops who have been working hard to institute a far right agenda, not a Christian one. Jesus never spoke about, let alone condemned, their top issues — abortion and homosexuality. Nor did he advocate taking over governments…
So now we are paying billions of dollars to Argentina to bail out their failed libertarian economic policies then millions more for (mostly wealthy) farmers whose soybean crop sales are being replaced by Argentina’s now that China is refusing to buy ours because of Trump’s tariffs. Stable genius!
And done in the name of Jesus and supported by the anchor baby son of refugees Little Marco.
I am deeply uncomfortable with the thought of flying when our already overstressed air traffic controllers are working without pay. Republicans - and many in the media - seem to assume that is not stressful for average people who depend on those paychecks to pay the mortgage and inflated groceries.
….Clintons had murdered their close friend Vince Foster. Kavanaugh made a point of sending a memo to colleagues on that investigation reassuring them that he didn’t really think Foster had been murdered - anything to win points with his far right masters. It has paid off handsomely.
These extremists were in the tank long before Trump. Roberts and Alito were appointed by that good “Christian” Dubya - the odious Clarence Thomas by his daddy.
Kavanaugh was Ken Starr’s right hand man. It was Kavanaugh who pushed for yet one more investigation of the vicious slander that the…
Yes and yes. He’s always been crazy and he’s crazier than ever.
MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.
And we are bailing out Argentina’s economy with both a ton of our tax $$$ and by destroying out soybean export market which they are now taking over. I guess Trump voters mistook MAGA to mean “Make America Great Again” when it really means “Make Argentina Great Again”.
Trump hates his base.
…who were going bankrupt because they were being denied coverage for life-threatening conditions.
At that time my husband had been waiting a couple of months to get surgery for a very painful knee injury even though we had very good insurance.
I wanted to punch Jennings in the face.
Back when Clinton was trying to reform healthcare I was shocked to hear the extremely well-insured Peter Jennings rave about how the US healthcare system was the best in the world. He complained that Canadians had to wait for (non-emergency) surgery. Had had no concern for the millions of Americans…
…That is how they got around the law prohibiting dropping people who got sick. Just claim that every 6 months you were issuing them a brand-new policy. There was no “renewing” an existing one.
It was also legal in Texas for insurance companies to drop you when time came up to pay for your policy because the companies decided each time you paid you were getting a new policy. That way any illness developed during he previous coverage could disqualify you as a pre-existing condition…
Bush and Cheney also supported the war and said that we would have won it if we had just put more resources into it. Of course both of them did everything they could to avoid serving in a war they — unlike Trump — supported. They all think other people’s kids should be dying for their policies.
Trump agreed to the release of 5000 Taliban prisoners in exchange for 1000 from the other side. That’s Trump’s “Art of the Deal”. The same media that jumped all over Biden for the messiness of the withdrawal — because withdrawing when you have lost usually goes really smoothly — gave Trump a pass.
Ezra Klein needs to get out of his East Coast bubble more. He thinks brining in some anti-abortion candidates will help Dems despite the fact that both polls and referenda even in red states show both Dems and Republicans strongly support for abortion rights.
Stop giving him the spotlight media!
The Supreme Court dismantled Roe. States are restoring it one by one.
Support for abortion cuts across party lines, performing significantly better at the ballot box than Biden and other Democrats.

They can’t. They are taking a break so they don’t have to take a vote on releasing the Epstein files or God forbid restore people’s healthcare
Read his book so you too can address their claims! Buy copies for others. This book deserves to go to #1 on the NYT bestseller list. Maybe that would finally give our media the courage to call out their hypocrisy too.
Separation of Church and Hate
You're Invited to the Livestream Launch Show for my NY Times Bestseller. And Yes, I'm as shocked as you.

Also for decades the right has had well-funded propaganda machine so the media has normalized and paid far more attention to them than they have to the majority of us which makes them seem a much larger part of our society than they really are and has given them far more influence than they deserve
Martin Luther King Jr based his movement in his (true) Christian principles.
You mean like “She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” and “Love, Love Me Do”?
Those songs are still ranked as top Beatles songs.
A lot of adult women love Taylor because she speaks to their personal experiences as women. For example from “The Man”:
“They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve. What I was wearing, if I was rude, could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves”
Isn’t it wonderful to have the “Christian” party controlling our government?
I like to remind people how the press rolled over for Dubya because he was “more fun to have a beer with”. Also how they buried the fact that Reagan’s “greed is good” tax cuts for the rich were a big part of his tripling our national debt.
