John of Arc

You know his last act is going to be to pardon himself

The full gamut of corruption, from sexual to financial. A man without a single virtue.

You want me to “get” that the Bible without the accounts of the miracles is a great book?

A bible without the magic tricks is pointless. The purpose of the magic tricks was to demonstrate supernatural action.

The Jefferson Bible is ridiculous. He took out all the parts he didn't like.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Neal Katyal's opening volley against Trump's tariffs:

"May it please the court: Tariffs are taxes."

Like?

This is what happens to the pro-life movement when you put it in the hands of a hyper corrupt charlatan like Trump: you make the pro-choice position acceptable to a big chunk of the population. I am as pro-life as it gets, but I am cheering MAGA’s losses last night.

Don’t forget the monumental corruption.

I conclude people want to see the Epstein files

And the rule of law

They’re probably thinking they didn’t beat and detain HARD ENOUGH

Thank God

Thank God

I don't see how the view that the Cross and Ganesh sit side by side is consistent with the Catholic Faith.

And I am no fan of J D Vance.

Schismatic, heretic, criminal, KGB

This quote continues to rattle me to my core:

"So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them."

That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:

Did you write this on your hand because you cheated on a test?

How in your view should the inevitable meeting of Europeans and the natives of the Americas have played out?

Corruption in a family values disguise.

I’m Canadian too.

Only US Americans think that. In Europe, "America" means all of America.

The use of the wheel did not extend past the toy, it seems. Point is, the Spaniards brought material progress. As for education, the Spanish established schools specifically to educate the natives. There was no literacy before the Spanish came along. They even produced native dictionaries & grammars

He makes smiling look like work

There are many good reasons to mute me!

I’m unaware of the Nazi colonies. As for the Spaniards, are you aware that most of the natives allied with the Spaniards? They had no love for slavery and human sacrifice. Other things welcomed by the natives: hospitals, schools, universities, the wheel, etc. I’m not saying there weren’t problems.
