Do you suppose white evangelicals ever look at themselves in the mirror and wonder...

...whatever happened to "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" and "Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword", or "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in"?

It appears that SCOTUS no longer worries about their reputation.

They're not restrained by anything now.

What's next?

So what's to stop Mohammed bin "Bonesaw" Salman from buying one of TSF's properties...

...in a transparently bogus deal that leaves TSF with a billion in cash. What would we do? Prosecute them?

Mind you, Bonesaw would doing other deals at the same time to make sure his boy would end up in the White House.

Important to remember that SCOTUS is not deciding whether to execute or incarcerate TFG.

They're only deciding whether or not to disqualify him for the most powerful office in the land. Seems like that would be a much lower bar to get over.

Important to remember that Trump's immunity case was never meant to be won, just to slow things down.

It's already succeeded in slowing things down somewhat. The jury's still out, so to speak, as to whether it slows thing down a whole lot more.

It's pretty obvious Trump and the MAGATs know now they're playing for all the marbles.

They have little to lose by intimidating officials (including judges) with death threats against them and their families. Biden should be providing extra security to anyone who could be pressured into messing up the election.

Am I still listed as a member of the Southern Baptist church I joined at age 13?

I was "born again" around my 13th birthday. Pretended to be, actually. I'd already stopped believing (if I ever did) and nodded and smiled at the minister just to get those people off my back. I was a kid. What else could I do?

Decades later, I have no regrets. I sometimes get annoyed when I see a news article saying, "There are umpty-ump bazillion evangelicals in America" and wonder if I'm by inaction contributing one...errrr.....soul, to that count. In the Age of Trump, I don't want to be giving those people one subatomic particle of support.

What will the people who say TFG was picked by God say if...

...he becomes totally impaired by dementia?

Is it just me,or is DU turning into Youtube?

Seems like posts with only text and still graphics are becoming a minority. A story that would have been been a 60-second read now takes 5-10 minutes (after I find my earbuds and turn them on.)
