Yep, and every discussion with them ends with “the Bible says so and that’s that.”

There seems to be a recurring notion among some Christians that just by virtue of believing, any fool notion that pops into their head automatically carries the weight of divine authority.

She’s a white evangelical so she can say whatever she wants and it’s okay.

It’s insane how far we’ve fallen. Obama had to distance himself from Reverend Wright due to a few sermons and we’ve got this woman actively and openly grifting and yelling nonsense and everything’s ignored because it can’t even register on the scandals of the weeks.

I just listened to this Hidden Brain episode. Lasting change really is about making those small tweaks, and removing or creating “friction” in order to persuade yourself to do better.

Agreed.

For many reasons I am not a fan of New Years Resolutions but I do think there are benefits to harnessing the positivity surrounding a new solar cycle, even if for us in N. America its a horrible time to do so. Especially in the northern parts of the continent. But not resolutions, priorities help but how do you…

Either that and/or he wants to be a “wartime president” so that he can argue that we ought not change the leader midstream or some other such shit since (white) people tend to get stupid and jingoistic when told the country is at war; despite the fact that this country hasn’t actually declared war on any goddamn body…

“There seems to always be a weird money-laundering angle when it comes to Trump’s real estate deals.”

As always, there’s a tweet/video/article for that.

Remember when Trump was incessantly tweeting in 2012 that Obama would go to war with Iran to try to influence the election?

Strategy is three whole syllables, so no.

I heard a very apt observation that Trump understands tactics but not strategy.

Hell yeah motherfucker! USA! USA!!! Can’t wait to celebrate some dead Iranian civilians! Fuck yes!!!! Flag covered coffins arriving at Dover AFB by the thousands for decades to come! THESE COLORS DON’T RUN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!! A generation of US soldiers, and Iranians (soldier and civilian) with irreversible…

Congratulations, the crooked idiot you elected as president just committed an act of war.

Just a heads up: If you get shitty or mean in these comments I’ll remove them. Go be an asshole somewhere else. 

The only wall we need:

“...he will just say that it is not broken, or already fixed, or that it was always supposed to be that way, or that someone else did it.”

Words have failed me for quite a while now, to explain the abyssal mess that President Trump is.  Thank you Mr. Roth.
