If I get sent somewhere without due process and make it out, and people ask how it happened, Iβll just say: βWell, Chuck Schumer didnβt think Trumpβs approval was low enough. So I disappeared to a camp in another country until he felt Republicans would work with him.

Justice Dept. Official Says She Was Fired After Opposing Restoring Mel Gibsonβs Gun Rights
Elizabeth G. Oyer, the former pardon attorney, said that she was not told why she was dismissed, but that as events unfolded she feared they might lead to her firing.
This is really remarkable. A pardon attorney was told that Gibson was a personal friend of the President and she should recommend he be given his access to guns back. She didn't and was immediately fired.
They will fire lawyers who won't bless their cronyism.

7/ As we enter Lent, may we reject the temptation of shortcuts and power. May we trust in Godβs provision, serve rather than conquer, and cling to Christβs faithfulness rather than our own strength.

5/ Dominionism is one modern form of temptation: the belief that Christians must take control of society. But Jesus rejected worldly power. The kingdom of God is not won through conquest but through servanthood.

2/ In the wilderness, Jesus is temptedβnot with blatant evil, but with shortcuts to seemingly noble goals. Turn stones into bread? Rule the world? Perform a miracle? Each could be justified, but Jesus refuses.

1/ Temptation often disguises itself as something good. One of the easiest ways to fall into idolatry is by worshiping the very things we are meant to love. π§΅

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

For some reason, I keep thinking about how the Emperor Tiberius (the emperor who crucified Jesus) renamed the Sea of Galilee "Lake Tiberias" after himself as part of his brutal repression of the Jews.
Renaming things is a powerful form of colonization and oppression of subject populations.
