IMHO no “authority” or another person for that matter can “dictate” what a person believes. They may dictate behavior, but nobody can know the mind of another person. The Koran and Christian Bible are not holy scripture: they are merely tools for controlling others.

It’s a nice sentiment, but I find it very hard to respect evangelicals who preach tribal racism.

I had a school friend who was a Baptist minister’s son. His favorite saying was northern Baptist said “there ain’t no hell “; southern Baptist said “the hell there ain’t”. A lot of flexibility in the rules, but helped me move toward agnosticism.

Republicans in the House and Senate are demonstrating every day they tolerate this kind of behavior that they are no longer qualified to represent our democratic values. They should impeach trump, so the healing process can begin. The longer they fail to act, the worse it will become.

IMO trump’s transactional mindset is naturally superficial, so he only thinks about what the ROK didn’t do for him recently, i.e. contribute to his war with Iran. Payback, baby! His BS about nKorea is his fevered brain justifying his actions to screw a longtime ally.

trump dishonors everything he comes in contact with. his contempt for our/my military is…there are no words. I’ve been part of the military community my whole life (almost 80 years), and I cannot think of another person living or dead who has done more to harm.

Autually, the entire US government is not treasonous; only the officials appointed by trump. Most civil servants are proud to be in government performing valuable services for the public good.

State officials should continue to tell the FEDs to FO. Republicans will cheat, so the anti-trump vote in november needs to be overwhelming.

These three “facts“ do not define or suggest a rigged system. I don’t advocate laying off workers for unjustified reasons, but businesses make decisions like this every day. Your credibility suffers when you stretch logic too far. Keep up the good fight, but more rigor please.

Civic responsibility used to be more widespread. I remember going on vacation with my family in the 50s, and we didn’t lock the doors because the neighbors kept an eye on things. Now it’s security systems, surveilance camers and we don’t know most neighbors at all. Fear and greed moves people now.

Mitch McConnel has done enough harm for ten life times. He should resign and do something good for a change. They say learning new things in old age is good for you no matter how hard.

True, but it remains a tragedy that the decision wasn’t unanimous. At least, John Robert’s got this one right when he remarked “new world but same constitution”. It’s a shame his name will forever be associated with the most corrupt court in America’s history.

The next president whether democratic or republican should cancel every trump era executive order and direct removal of every use of his name in government. trump is like the confederate flag: an odious stain on the American soul.

Have you ever read a book that was so good you couldn’t wait and read the last few pages before reading the rest of the book? Great feeling, even though knowing the end before reading the story is an anticlimax of sorts. 😬

Reason: because trump exists to promote lies. His very existence is built on lies. People who voted for trump want to believe his bullsh*t, because he promises to punish —- (fill in blank with anyone who is different). Hate fuels a lot of American politics today. Maybe it always did.

Christian nationalists want to write (rewrite) history as they wish it were rather than how it was. Bible stories in public schools as Texas has proposed is another attempt to brainwash the young so they are unable to think for themselves.

If trump doesn’t die first, I hope his day of judgement hits him like a ton of bricks and the rest of his family is labeled appropriately. There’s no way in any rational world a president can accept a gift/bribe and keep it (legally).

So eloquent and so very presidential. He makes MAGA Christians proud to be Americans. The rest of us want to believe this crap will begin to get better after November. Vote for equality. Vote for decency. Vote for everything trump isn’t.
