@epellefsen @TheBabylonBee Can you do something about Mike Johnson?

@epellefsen @Republicans I feel as though the republic is officially broken

[David French @DavidAFrench]

In some ways, Republican devotion to the attorney general of Texas, Ken Paxton, is even more troubling than its continued support for Trump. Their enthusiastic support for a corrupt adulterer (Texas Republicans voted for him in the Senate primary runoff over the conservative, scandal-free John Cornyn by a staggering 28 points) tells us that the moral compromise of Trump’s supporters isn’t confined to the president. There is an expanding acceptance of corrupt politicians — so long as they "fight." https://t.co/0PkHUfwToy

This is unhinged. If a family member behaved this way, you'd worry about them. If a CEO behaved like this, the board would meet. He's living in an alternate reality and furious when a person won't indulge his fantasies.

The best way to convince people you aren’t praying before a golden idol would be to not pray before a golden idol.

@epellefsen Makes no sense

When David French and Alex Jones BOTH think you've lost your mind... when Tucker Carlson and the Pope BOTH find your words "evil"...

... maybe you should pause and reconsider your direction?

@epellefsen What a joke

[Ameen @Ameen_HGA]

Can we just be honest? This isn’t about Trump hate or anti-Trumpism or whatever. Can we honestly say that this is the mark of a good leader? Is this the profile of a person that will lead people well? If you voted for him are you looking at this thinking it’s of no consequence?

Stable genius at work.

BREAKING: At his cabinet meeting, Trump just bragged about how hard the mathematical equations of his cognitive test that he passed were.

FACT: The hardest mathematical equation on such a test is referred to as the “Serial 7s” Test:

You start at 100 and keep subtracting 7, out loud:

100 → 93 → 86 → 79 → 72 → 65 → 58 →

This is literally what he’s bragging about. My seven-year-old could do this.

We didn’t allow our theology to grow, expand, and evolve. 😞

[Scott Barber @thescottbarber]

Donald Trump was able to use evangelicals and to get them to betray every value they had once claimed to stand for, because as Mark Noll once observed: "the scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind."

Evangelicalism had time to change course, to develop a more robust and serious intellectual tradition, but instead it turned further to one-dimensional hermeneutics as made concrete by the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, young-earth creationism, nationalism, and rapture eschatology.

One of the best examples of this is the pro-life movement. What should have been fleshed out as a broader care for all life, including care for the poor, respect for the elderly and those with disabilities, and environmentalism (as is done in Catholicism and JP2's Theology of the Body), became a narrow political wedge issue that lacked any actual theological discourse or philosophical structure.

The lies just flow out of him like water.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.

If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Trump and Vance’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Democrats in the midterms
