Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

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
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.
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I was going to say something about Steve Scalise. I will not do so because, like most atheists, I am VERY superstitious.
what a bunch of fuckups, huh? when I speculate about how things would be if these guys had any intelligence or competence, I stop. my mind just doesn't want to go there.
what continues to appall me is the fact that, practically speaking, there are two "versions" of reality. not two realities, just VERSIONS. my "friend upstairs" (who's fortunately been out of my hair for a long stay in his native Padua) was trying to tell me a few months bac k that we now live in a "post-reality world." when I insisted that there IS such a thing as phenomenal reality, he disagreed. he's a goodhearted guy and definitely a lot nicer than I am, but he's also an idiot.
thing is, we know what they're hearing and saying but it certainly feels like they're not reciprocating. if they were a tad better informed, would we be better or worse off? that's a serious question. in the meantime "let's impeach someone...ANYONE" doesn't look like anything I'd recognize as "governing."
Mike Johnson is pathetic enough to inspire pity, but he gets no pity here. fuck him.
