MAGA Christianity is Anti-Jesus. Just ask Jesus. Rev.

"I'm not saying this white Republican theocracy built on power, exclusion, and subjugation that you're tethered to is anti-Jesus, and that you’re failing him by worshipping someone like Donald Trump.Bishop Budde isn’t saying that, either. Jesus is saying that."

Is that based on number of paint chips taken from paint stores, or gallons of paint sold, or some other quantitative measurement? Or just Mr. Pan Tone's feelings?

If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I’m pretty sure that if some CEO got fired from his job & on his way out he told a mob of crazies to show up with zip ties, flag poles and tasers and to bash in the windows & smear poop on the walls, that he wouldn’t get hired back a few years later, but what the hell do I know.

I assume so, since he resigned his set. Did he get re-elected and will be back in January? Ugh.

I think you mean "sexual orientation." "Preference" implies there's a choice. Definitely not in my case. 😊

I *never* watch it. I can't stand him. Moreso now than ever. And,I'm extremely disappointed that neither @rachelmaddow nor @lawrenceodonnell (the only two I still like, well, Nicole Wallace, too) had a word to day about it in their shows. Ugh.

OMG. I decided against canceling my WaPo subscription when Bezos declined to endorse a Presidential Candidate, for the sake of supporting professional journalism. But I think this has proven to me that's not what they're making.
