Why do authors turn their own amazing characters into total, unrecognizable idiots in sequels? Like - I’m all for a good character recurring character flaw, but the henchman level idiocy is too much.

I don’t regret my conservative past or past church affiliations. We all have to start somewhere and take each step. I do celebrate each expansive step forward. And If we keep expanding its normal to no longer fit in many smaller rooms we used to inhabit.

An observation: People’s politics shape how they imagine God a lot more than God shapes how people imagine politics. A caveat: once people have shaped a god to fit their politics, they will talk about god a lot in their politics - this often hides the origin of their convictions

Add this to the administration pushing forward to reclassify all disabilities within the VA. You have the most anti veteran and anti service member administration in our nations history. Once again the push to send young Americans to war while ensuring the govt never pays out benefits. #Veterans

I suppose I am angry people are defending child rape and also that people are dragging Jesus into their excuses for horrendous evil… so I can own that.

Brandon,
I happen to know that Trump did not do the things you and AI are accusing him of. I’m messaging you privately as to not call you out publicly.
Since I’ve known you and you had our it’s in youth group I have noticed you are a very angry man. There’s something deep down inside you that has not begin dealt with and your reactions to untruth are revealing it still. I’m praying for you because what I see in you is not evidence of the Holy Spirit leading you. When the Lord is not ruling in every area of our lives it is easy to get sucked in to things not of the Lord and remain angry. Maybe it’s time for you to do some seeking the Lord and internal work with the Lord & stop unrightly blaming others for your problems.

A while ago, I was part of an organization where one of the retired founders would come in occasionally to share his wisdom. When he spoke, he invoked nostalgia so effectively that people felt emotionally transported back decades to a time that felt familiar and safe. ⅕

American Tech CEOs think the real fascism is any government regulation that limits their profits in any way in order to protect ordinary citizens rights, privacy, or jobs. They are ok with actual fascism for their customers and workers as long as they can continued make profit.

Either our constitutional rights mean something or they don’t. We’ve been in a constitutional crisis for 5 years. The 14th amendment has been essentially erased by the Supreme Court. Extra judicial killings at sea and now at home by a government agency. They’ve destroyed our democratic republic.
