Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
@BenSchettler@ChrisCuomo It’s baffling the way you resort to an argument that amounts to “but others did it first & didn’t get in trouble.” (2x in 2 days now.) As an aspiring apologist, I think it’s reasonable to expect more. If you don’t agree with banning Trump, then give the merits of your view.
Every leader who declared Trump to be the only choice for Christians, who touted policy over personality should now give account for the compromised theology which led to those conclusions.
It’s an historical theology and an accompanying refusal to disown their arrogance.
Who scared them? Who lied to them about the people who are a majority in America? Who told them it was their “last chance” to avoid losing their freedom? Which TV network was most effective at parroting that disinformation? Is it the same network that aired this quote?
The Editorial Board: If Trump wants to avoid a second impeachment, his best path would be to take personal responsibility and resign. https://t.co/Pu7USKBnCr
He got several of the conservative buzzwords in there in pretty short order.
“Woke”
“First Amendment”
“Cancel Culture”
If he’d been able to work “socialism,” “2A,” and “God” in there somehow he’d be really close to running the table.
Today’s rioters were fighting to keep in power a president who did not even come up with a platform for what he would do if he were to win a second term.
What we are seeing in Washington now is the refutation of our American commitment, a form of unleashed anarchy which is the enemy of ordered liberty, and President Trump is responsible now for unleashing mayhem. Pray that God will rescue is from this.
I don't know the Jesus some have paraded and waved around in the middle of this treachery today. They may be acting in the name of some other Jesus but that's not Jesus of the Gospels.
Whether emboldened by victory
Or embittered by defeat,
The weeks following this election
Will likely bring out his worst impulses.
Those who’ve tied their fortunes
Reputations, and credibility to this man
Should be ready to rationalize,
Deflect and deny
Like never before.
BREAKING: Trump supporters have breached the Capitol building, tearing down 4 layers of security fencing and are attempting to occupy the building — fighting federal police who are overrun
This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Thousands, police can’t stop them
I’m no political operative but I’ll give it a try:
-Sign the dang spending bill
-Take a victory lap on Operation Warp Speed
-Start publicly preparing for your future-whatever that may be.
The problem is that he’s not a politician and it’s never truly been about politics.
The #AntrimAudit confirmed the truth & affirmed the facts: Dominion’s voting machines accurately tabulated votes cast for President.
Now it’s time for the disinformation campaigns to end, and for all leaders to unequivocally affirm the Nov election was secure, accurate & fair.
