Do Xwitter links not embed properly? I feel like they should because I get the info and don’t feel like I need to click the link. I do appreciate the screenshot though.

This is projection. I think you looked back at your posts and realized I'm right.

You can google it. There are plenty of papers on the topic.

The second part is fair-ish. But to pretend that people who don't outwardly express their faith do not inject it into their politics is naive.

That is absolutely not what I said. I said the ubiquity or prevalence of it.

I am allowed to have an opinion on the ubiquity of outward expressions of religiosity in public life, you may not like it, and that’s perfectly fine. I think it’s weird.

Did I say that you couldn’t? I said I dislike it and find it embarrassing.

I hate to the enth degree how unbelievably ingrained the ubiquity of professing prayer is in our politics and public life. Even in backhanded comments like this. It is so freaking weird. It’s also embarrassing that religion plays such a prevalent role amongst individuals participating in secular gov

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

The UK arrested Prince Andrew. Hakeem Jeffries is telling Democrats not to boo Trump at the State of the Union.

Students - and faculty - on my campus seem barely aware of it.

Pretty dramatic difference from how freaked out everyone was by Obama's (apparently highly transitory) "red-line" in Syria back in 2012 - 2013.

After blaming a (non-existent) staffer for the Obamas-as-apes video, this is quite a remarkable statement by Leavitt.

Trump’s Man in Munich Completely Lashed Out at Mette Frederiksen: Β»Little LadyΒ« Trump’s close ally Lindsey Graham completely lost his temper in Munich. During a meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, he yawned loudly and called her Β»little ladyΒ«, Berlingske has lea...

The "bizarre incident" with Lindsey Graham at the Munich Security Conference confronting and insulting Danish leaders has caused enough disquiet that Berlingske newspaper has done two unusual things with the story: translated it into English, and unpaywalled it.

If the Democrats don’t take proactive steps to restructure and rebalance John Roberts led - illegitimately packed MAGA Court - right wing Republicans in judicial robes will remain in charge of #SCOTUS at least till 2065.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said β€œwe went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
