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
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.

Heather, thank you for such a concise summary of the Trump threads. I’m looking forward to hearing more about his properties, savings, and investments next week as Judge Engoran and DA Leticia James decide which to liquidate to pay the judgement. It’s beginning to look like 45 and Melania may soon be doing their own grocery shopping (no driver’s license required unless they pay by check LOL ). It will be interesting to see if 45’s diehard supporters will still love him when he’s no longer seen as a billionaire.
I'm looking forward to it too, but since tffg's supporters think of him as some God-annointed prophet, I can't see anything rational changing their minds.
It seems to me that as tfg weakens financially, his current problems with speaking coherently to his worshipers will
become way more pronounced. There will probably be at least some % of his base that will respond to these very visible trends by pulling away. His crowds are much smaller as time goes by already. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Mary Ann, actually I just reposted a very concerning report by Robert P. Jones, who writes about evangelicalism and white supremacy, detailing a speech by ttfg to white evangelical broadcasters that shows how completely he's playing to them, and how completely they're buying it. substack.com/profile/10…
Thank you for that link. I tried but I simply could not watch trump's con job BS to the NRB, that purports to be his "vision" of a white kkkristian nationalist country. It made me nauseated. The article, I did manage to read and it is terrifying. We cannot let these creatures win.
TL, it's unbearable. My reaction is utter revulsion. Which reminds me of psychiatrist M. Scott Peck's observation (in THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED and PEOPLE OF THE LIE) = that our instinctive human reaction to evil IS revulsion.
I loved People of the Lie -- helped me understand the role of lying to oneself and others in creating real evil in the world. Thanks for mentioning it.
