@MeghanMcCain@BarackObama Your dad showed us what it looks like to disagree on politics without demonizing a person. Be left a big whole here on planet earth. Could use some more politicians like him.
I get the idea that consultant-driven, robotic, talking-point politicians are both annoying and often incompetent and ineffective.
But the solution to that problem isn't to elect people *worse.* And the idea that messy and scandalous lives are somehow more "authentic" is absurd.
Hang out in a prison. Lots of authenticity there, not much leadership. We're supposed to be electing leaders, not people who remind you of your troubled cousin or your crazy uncle.
@espn When I was a kid in the 90’s I was a big Royals fan but they were never on TV. I could always count on seeing Braves games on TBS to scratch my itch to watch baseball. Those were some incredible Braves teams, always in contention for championships. RIP Skipper.
@MattWalshBlog@MeghanMcCain All of these career politicians on the left and the right are the same. They depend on each other to remain in the the swamp that benefits them so much.
@mtgreenee We are trapped in a two party system where both parties need each other. It’s a two headed monster that needs the status quo to remain in order to keep powerful and corrupt people safe.
For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.
@BethMooreLPM@BrianZahnd did a really good 3 part message series on Job last year. Highly recommend it to everyone. really struggled with Job and have largely avoided it up until watching that series.
