LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 13/10/2026That has been one of many annoying things about this administration and their acolytes, they railed against DEI and promoted "meritocracy" but it is made up of mediocre people who are failing and flailing at their jobs. 020
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I am thankful for thoughtful pieces like this because it has been shocking to see a segment of Christian 'leaders' praising this vile decision Christianity teaches us not to turn executions into entertainment share.google/kX78RbePZJ3w...share.googleChristianity teaches us not to turn executions into entertainment(RNS) — The history of public executions suggests that when they are staged in free countries, they serve to degrade the citizens. 010

LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It is really remarkable that while American Evangelicals like Rob Jeffress, Andrew Walker, et al. are defending capital punishment, the First American Pope is offering a better Christian option. I can totally see how someone would choose to be a Catholic instead of this version of protestantism 000
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The dude just seems to be sinking deeper into this Christian Nationalist sinkhole while many people are realizing the emptiness and future of that worldview 130
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 10/10/2026@jamellebouie.net made this same point on YouTube yesterday. 000
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It's time for Americans to go "non contact" but unfortunately, we still have to deal with his insanity for another 2 years - no matter what happens during the midterms 040
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026We have to stop with this "snubbed" nonsense. The dude is a warmonger who has lost his marbles. 000

LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Is there anyone in the cabinet who is remotely good at their jobs!? It is enraging that the folks who railed against DEI and talked about "meritocracy" are so incompetent. 000
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The worst thing about Hassett in particular is that stupid grin he has on his face when he consistently lies about virtually everything he talks about. 000
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Unfortunately, I think the overriding issue here is the absence of empathy - people can't relate to issues unless there is definite impact on them on a personal level and I honestly don't know the way out of this moral quagmire 010
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 05/10/2026For example, most of the folks souring on Trump now are doing so because his foolish choices have made a definite impact on their finances. They were fine with all his other awful actions because there was no impact on their economic well-being 100
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is a fascinating conversation and you make a very good point about people being removed from the consequences of their votes for these objectively awful politicians. 100
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Based on your reporting, so you think Adam Hamilton actually has a chance to win that race. 000
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Someone has said DJT operates with the worldview of a r@#$!t, and it is objectively true, he likes to impose himself on everyone and everything, whether his 'victims' like it or not. 010
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I have never understood their appeal or utility, get a full-zip sweater or a cardigan - no half measures. 111
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This is an aside, but it is remarkable how much that publication is basically culture war nonsense under the guise of "heterodox", they rarely if ever actually report news or anything insightful 000
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This is insane, especially coming from folks who accuse others of trying to rewrite history. 010

LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The Gospel transcends partisanship. Reducing Christianity to a political bargaining chip does a profound disservice to its transformative power www.npr.org/2026/09/27/n...npr.orgThese Democrats are making Christianity a centerpiece of their midterm campaignsIt's rare for Democrats to make religion a centerpiece of their campaigns. But this midterm election cycle, a number of candidates for Congress are doing just that. 011
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I believe it was Fareed Zakaria who made the point that there should have been a gradual introduction to electric cars with hybrids instead of the aggressive promotion of electric cars. 110
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think there is some nuance with the seeming lack of adoption of electric cars, they are still pretty expensive and the charging infrastructure is still limited in its availability. 210
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Not to be mean but this one of the many puzzling things about Melania, she has been in this country for decades now and her English sounds like that of someone who just arrived here. It is weird. 000

LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Good point, this Montana case is kinda weird though. The Democrat was funded by a 'dark money' group that basically hightailed and left the race after she won the primary and yes, she was tok arrogant to leave the race and now the Republican will likely win. montanafreepress.org/2026/07/06/m...montanafreepress.orgMystery PAC that boosted Bankhead exits Senate race, leaving a financial voidAfter spending millions in the spring primary, the pop-up super PAC is calling it quits 010

LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It is an indictment of Trumpism in particular and 'conservatism' in general that they only cared about exercising power over others and enriching themselves and their friends. 040
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Do you have any insight into why he is so obsessed with the Kennedy Center in particular? 020
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026There's probably a "sunk cost" element to this. Folks like Erickson have excused Trump for over a decade now. If I have my facts correct, He voted for Trump in 2020 and 2024 despite all his issues. 040
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It's hard to take Erickson and others like him seriously because his punditry and partisan hackery got us to this point in the first place. 1722

LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Trump is fundamentally a cruel, mean-spirited bully and that is his consistent MO. 011
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Jeffress, like Mohler, Graham et al will always reveal their partisanship. Imagine saying Talarico is blasphemous when the politician they have supported for over a decade routinely posts AI-generated images of himself as a divine figure while leading arguably an amoral administration. 151

For Fetterman to do this is just a reprehensible betrayal. 511222
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 09/09/2026That's a valid critique of Democrats in general but let's be honest, the assertion that there are 6 genders is questionable at best and ridiculous at worst. It makes sense to separate from past, problematic comments. He also did a good job returning to the economic angle in this particular instance 100
LNRJBL @lnrjbl.bsky.social · 09/09/2026From my POV, this seems like a smart pivot especially considering the questionability of the initial comments. 251
