I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The Loneliness No One Talks About
No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.
The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.
The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.
Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.
Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.
It has now been 9 years since the escalator ride and I have yet to see a rational explanation for the support that the Felon President-elect gets from virtually every corner of the ring. It can't simply be the power of the office, because every President has that and it certainly isn't any sort of moral or ethical imperative because he is completely lacking in the standards that would enable either. It's almost as though he's only a puppet and someone else is pulling the strings, in which case the critical question is "Who?"
That's the public story, but neither of them has any real power. All it would have taken anywhere along the line is for someone or several someones to say in unison "oh no you're not" and he would have wilted. As Alvin Bragg has demonstrated, nothing in Trump's arsenal stands up to examination in front of a jury.
Oh Dave, don't underestimate what it means to be owned by the Russians. That goes back to the 70's when he housed the spies coming from Moscow. In Floriduh.
A presidential candidate tried, and failed, to own my dad in the 60's. They offered serious money and power. They weren't playing. Just saying.
I don't underestimate it Hannah, I just don't have a visceral understanding of what it means. I know that the Russians play for keeps by rules that are very different from ours but that's not the same as having the experience.
Fair enough Dave. I don't disagree with you. Just sharing what little frame of reference I have.
