The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.
It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
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

He's not smart enough to be "evil incarnate". I see insecurity, rabid weakness, fury, frustration and hatred at an inchoate "them"....the "them" who never let him into their ranks despite his most ambitious scramblings.
like you, I usually tend to think of people I'd describe as "evil incarnate" as being intelligent (as in Satanic...remember that Satan is kinda the hero in "Paradise Lost"). but I've been coming to embrace a much more inclusive definition.
after all, what somebody DOES is always more important than what somebody SAYS.
You have an excellent point, Mr. Levine...but I still can't see Trump being smart enough, strong enough or confident enough to be the architect of all evil, i.e. the Anti-Christ. However, he does do evil acts and causes others to do evil acts, certainly and he enjoys cruelty.....so, I guess in that view, he is evil enclothed in flesh, indeed.
