Bad guys often agree with your politics.

We need more people voting in primaries who think a person’s qualifications to hold a position of public trust include more than angry vitriol directed at our political opponents.

Character matters. Vote like it.

DJT floats the idea of re-opening Alcatraz.

< ;P >

He plans to have Clint Eastwood and Danny Glover consult on how to make it escape proof.

In return for their cooperation

< / ;P >

DJT declares foreign films a national security crisis and places 100% tariffs on them.

In a shocking turn, Kamala Harris will also name J.D. Vance as her vice-presidential running mate.

For the last eight years political predictions have been repeatedly turned on their head, the turned inside out and fashioned into origami. It's been a constant series of reversals and improbable coming true.

[Mike Dennis @1MikeDennis]

So I'm going to make an outlandish prediction with no chance of happening, given that very fact makes it the most probable of the unexpected, unpredictable, and improbable outcomes.

[Dan White Jr. @danwhitejr]

Leadership Development is not the same as Making Disciples and getting this confused has gutted the soul of the Church.

@prchovanec He doesn't mention which side his ancestors fought on in the Revolutionary War. Time has show that those little potential "escape clauses" often matter with him. He seem to have become the Jane Fonda of this generation. Perhaps a new moniker is in order? Mother (Russia) Tucker?

A bit of AI-inspired satire. I saw Matt Wilmington's AI picture and thought this song seemed appropriate. ;)

[Mike Dennis @1MikeDennis]

The clips of Ramaswamy from last nights debate show some seriously unhinged rants.

I suspect he doesn't actually believe his own grape Flavor Aid but is part of his con job.

Worse, his schtick received an uncomfortable amount of applause

[Mike Dennis @1MikeDennis]

Trump calling for the his fans to make try a
"Citizen's Arrest" against his judge seems to creat mixed messaging when Speaker Mike Johnson is simultaneously asserting Trump respects the rule of law.

There may soon come a point where the Senate needs to expel Tuberville for providing aid and comfort to the enemies of the USA. It may already be past that point.

@fitchest "or is it a come to Jesus moment?"

If only, but to say I'm doubtful is beyond understatement.

On video:

McCarthy's affect: Appears comparatively relaxed and smiling

McCarthy's statement re: GOP House - we are in a very bad spot.

Odd juxtaposition.

[Mike Dennis @1MikeDennis]

"Moderate" GOP House members are said to be looking for an alternative to Jim Jordan. (Of course most of these moderates were once considered solid conservatives.)

May I suggest Liz Cheney. I suspect a few Ds would cross over just to tick off the MAGA group.

Joe Biden makes history joining the UAW strike against the Big Three automakers.
< ;) >
Pledges to only drive Hondas since they have no UAW workers striking against them

Wait. That didn't happen. It sounds like something Joe might say, but he didn't. This time.

@PastorBenMarsh Thank you. It's very appreciated Ben.

@martensmatt1 I am part of a book discussion group (all of us are ministry leaders). This sounds like a promising option for us to read this coming year.

🧵Some excerpts from the book:

@jaynordlinger I agree with the general sense of this Jay. It would be easier to agree whole heartedly if Christie and Pence would stop fudging about the past. Both keep waffling on whether Trump was always this way and defend their alignment with him in 2015-2016 until the 2020 election.
