🔥🔥🔥HOLY HELL: Whatever you do, do not repost this as Donald Trump will lose his shit if he hears this insane applause Ohio gave Obama today!

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

One day, these professed men of God find themselves campaigning for a predator, defending ethic cleansing, celebrating the expulsion of refugees, and vilifying an entire religious tradition.

They end up justifying the separation of families, going to battle for the NRA, and passionately defending an endless parade of lies from a pedophile President—all the while still imagining themselves righteous and still cosplaying as Christians.

These are such days for men like Franklin Graham and the ministers who emulate them.

He and the White Evangelical Church need the very Jesus they now have no use for.

BREAKING: HELL YEAH! Trump gets NIGHTMARE news about his absurd "Triumphal Arch" as the Arlington County government unleashes a massive lawsuit to block its construction.

And it gets even better...

In their suit, the county's board asserts that the White House ignored a crucial review process in their deranged, rushed efforts to begin working on the President's vanity project. Since the proper process was not followed, construction should not be allowed to proceed.

Specifically, the administration failed to properly evaluate the possible environmental impacts of the arch and such analysis is required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Arlington is accusing the MAGA-controlled National Park Service of performing nothing but a "cursory" and "truncated" review of the project.

It should come as little surprise that this regime, as adversarial towards the environment as it is, would try to circumvent this key step. Unfortunately for them, the law is the law.

The arch — one of several construction projects that Trump is desperately scrambling to erect in the hopes that he might fashion a semblance of a legacy for himself amidst the ashes of his failed presidency — is supposed to go up on an island in the Potomac River that is officially part of D.C., but sits just a few hundred meters from Arlington. The suit urges the court to block any demolition or construction until an “appropriate environmental review” is conducted.

Hopefully, the judge sees the light of reason and grants Arlington this injunction. Once Democrats retake Congress in November, we'll have more power to throw up lasting roadblocks to this idiotic waste of tax dollars.

Pop quiz: What "triumph" is Trump even hoping to commemorate? The Iran War is a historic, economy-crashing failure and his domestic policies have been just as bad. This man does not have a single real victory to his name and yet he wants to be remembered like Napoleon. Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it.

Please ❤️ and share if you support this lawsuit!

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS The US National Debt has now passed 39 trillion. It was 36 trillion when Trump took office. Trump's administration has added nearly 3 trillion dollars in 11 months. 🚨

I don’t care about the “seditious six” when Republicans think this was a peaceful protest. 😬

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

With your silence as much as with your volume, you show me you are more with him than you are against him, that you are more like him than different from him, and that you and I are increasingly morally incompatible.

The greatest tragedy to me isn't him. It isn't the reality that the person in the highest seat of power in our nation lacks a single benevolent impulse, that he is impervious to compassion, incapable of nobility, and mortally allergic to simple kindness.

The greatest tragedy is how many Americans he now represents—and that he represents you.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and city.”Using military force to displace a democratically elected state government is called a coup.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor Center today were a reminder that neither lies nor the liar who tells them get better with age. The Select Committee evidence is available on multiple websites and, as a criminal defendant, Donald Trump has had access to all the transcripts for years. Remember Trump’s character: He sat in his dining room watching on television as his supporters attacked our Capitol and brutally assaulted law enforcement. For hours, he refused to instruct the mob to leave. The truth will never change.

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

Watching President Biden give a compassionate, unifying message to the city of New Orleans and the nation, it's another reminder what a tragedy it is that we're going from a decent human being with empathy—to a vulgar, ignorant sociopath.

What a disaster.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss:

Australia 0
Canada 0
Denmark 0
Finland 0
France 0
Germany 0
Iceland 0
Ireland 0
Italy 0
Japan 0
Netherlands 0
Norway 0
Portugal 0
Spain 0

United States 530,000

There’s a lesson there.

The US exports $165bn a year more to Mexico than it imports – starting a trade war with them would be terrible for US exporters, not to mention raise prices of imports at home.

REMINDER: Donald Trump has NEVER built his own successful economy. He inherited President Obama's thriving economy, and now he'll inherit President Biden's booming economy.

And he'll run it into the ground, AGAIN, just like he did to his own businesses.

[Jared Ryan Sears @JaredRyanSears]

If you're angry because:
-Inflation is high
-Crime is rising
-Migrants are invading
-Fentanyl Overdoses are rising
-The economy is bad

The truth is:
-Inflation isn't high, it is 2.6%
-Crime has been falling for years and continues to fall
-Border crossings are the lowest in over 4 years
-Fentanyl overdoses are dropping rapidly
-America has the best economy in the world

You're actually angry about the endless lies designed to keep you upset, scared, and willing to support those who will make your life worse and take your rights away to "solve" these issues.

Be angry at the people lying to you.
