I would love to hear from anyone present at Yokosuka naval base during that incoherent blather by our most recent embarrassment- what is your takeaway?

How long will this go on?

Oh Noem! Oh Noem! Oh Noem!!! an army of furrieszzz!!!

Under Kristi Noem's leadership, ICE is now shooting dogs.

Which means ICE will probably soon be sleeping with Corey Lewandowski, too.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

This whole transition to virtual work from home is a big thing for me. You can definitely be isolating, but I am looking for the good points of it every day.

One good thing about working home: yoga pants every day!

This week on _The State of Belief,_ truth through comedy. Host**Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush** welcomes comedic genius **John Fugelsang,** author of the new book _Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds_ coming September 9th. Together, they delve into the tension between progressive values and mainstream Christianity, or as John puts it, being “too Christian for the liberals and way too liberal for the Christians.” As they explore this topic, John summarizes the teachings of Jesus: “Welcome the stranger, man. I mean, that’s about it.” The child of a former Catholic priest and former Catholic nun, John aims his sharp wit and brilliant mind at a topic he is deeply passionate about: using Scripture to challenge the all-too-often unchallenged claims to godliness by Christian Nationalists and fundamentalist Christians. “I was raised in a Christianity that was about service, that was about love, that was about forgiveness, that guided us to the margins. What are you doing for the least among us? Are you welcoming the stranger? Are you caring for the poor? Are you trying to help those who are hated and despised on the lowest rungs? Because that was Jesus’s whole ministry. You reach out to the marginalized.” “And, of course, as you know, the nice Christians don’t get the airtime. You don’t see the Christians on cable news talking about how war is bad or how homophobia is bad. You see the other kind – because villains make for better TV than nice people.” – Actor, author, comedian, commentator John Fugelsang. * You can preorder his book that comes out September 9th,__ ⁠Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds⁠ * Check out his daily show ⁠ _Tell Me Everything with John Fugelsang_ ⁠ on Sirius/XM * Subscribe to his ⁠Substack⁠ to get political commentary right to your inbox. * Keep up with his almost-daily ⁠podcast⁠,⁠ the Sanity-Cast⁠, which covers politics, religion, and pop culture.

More of this. Today we had a guest speaker who decided to take his moment to spew hatred and division… I’m part of the praise and worship team and had it not been for my musician family I would’ve just walked out. Wishing Jesus could’ve been there today to turn over some tables and Drop the Mic.

I know I know. Let people be quiet and stop nagging.

If this offends you, you’re the problem, but I think that intelligent young women should take the place of older white men in our Senate and Congress. What I mean is Democrat women. Obviously.

Kahless tells us that to face a new day, not knowing what challenges it may bring, is a fresh act of courage each morning. Arise tomorrow and raise your voice, tell the world a warrior has awoken who will bring this day honor and glory!

I survived the mess you saw this week on the TV. So 1. Al Green is everything. 2. Nancy Mace should fire her MUA. Her hideous brown triangle nose makes her even more unsightly. I would never wanna see her in my restroom. #congressional #drama #muainited #resist

lol. Let this be real.

Oof

I love my Sundays. How about you?
