“I could shoot and kill someone in the middle of fifth Avenue and no one would care.” — #Trump.

Was he right?

Yes, I’ve always suspected.

If so, no one will give a fuck even if he did the unthinkably worst with #Epstein.

So, yes, “the truth will come out,” but it won’t matter.

That’s my guess.

Of the Large and the Small – Part the First Christ and Cosmopolis 1

What Christians in the US need to hear:

"The absolute antithesis of the gospel preached by Paul would be the language of border walls, inviolable boundaries, fixed cultural identities, proper places, and nativism."—DBH

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

For Russian Orthodox theologian Sergius Bulgakov, "there is room for common cause b/t socialists & Christians" (according to commentator Roberto de la Noval).

To wh I say: "Amen"!

It's wild that Europe, the allies the United States joined hands with to stand up against Russia (then doing evil business as the "Soviet Union"), is now having to stand up against *the United States* for enabling Russia's war crimes.

I’ve heard it said that the New Testament mentions only one pagan god by name: “Mammon.”

But on this Easter Sunday, I believe that that is not the case, for Paul explicitly mentions Death/Thanatos (1 Cor 15:26), who has now been put to death.

Zelenskyy has huge balls. Doing this all right in front of the press. Honestly the first bit of inspiring media I've seen in a long time.

I love it b/c I relate so deeply to it. I’m a native Texan (w some East-coastiness), so I’m no stranger to blinding sun + shitty coffee.
But I also hate that TX (Austin) is like this.
Also, I’m not totally sure, to contradict myself, that Austin actually *is* like this (& in that sense I “hate” it)
