There is a special place in hell for those who corrupt the teachings of the bible for their own personal gain.
Watching Pence and company try to justify their cruelty with bible quotes is about as low as you can go. Even Jesus would probably kick him in the nutz.

Unfortunately, there is a broader world out there, and there is only so far our personal attempts to better ourselves go.
Unfortunately there are some with great leverage who have no limit in their attempts to tell us how to better ourselves.
"a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals"
C.S.Lewis
The above quote fits just as well with social justice warriors as it does with religious moralists.
My efforts to accelerate the evolutionary process of civilization would have a poor cost / benefit ratio.
Partisan political causes not only tend to generate hyperbole in support of their positions, but they make great efforts to discredit or misrepresent valid but opposing positions.

So trump, and his cronies say that this is a nation of laws. How ironic, in that trump, and his cronies don't adhere to any laws.

Just heard some audio from one of the child internment camps- unbelievable that our government is doing this. Or I guess sadly easily believable with trump.

No doubt, busily searching for the latest whataboutisms and false equivalency talking points. They’ll be ready sometime tomorrow morning.

Couldn't our [sic] porcine president [sic] just pardon all these border crossers.
I'm sure many of them, in addition to fleeing potential murder in the "homelands", suffer from that humanizing malady of bone spurs.

Oh yeah, your efforts to accelerate evolution suck accordingly.
Well Jim, that was my point. I make no effort to save the world... to the relief of those who know me ;-)

LoL....just like the previous 8yrs. You politard clowns were clearly asleep. Or...in Nortloons case, nodding off in a narco-stupor.
Obummers world...you were sleeping and braindead
-Splitting immigrant families
-Running guns to the cartel
-AG under contempt
-Partisan FBI
-etc,etc
The pacifier was ripped from your third eye and now the butthurt has you crying in your cribs.
So confused.
The truth is too much for crying baby minds. Best get your bluebutt pacifier and go back to sleep.
You serve no purpose to the current world other than keeping Pampers in business
Arch criminals like Pelosi are your hallmark...sleep well

Elections have consequences Stolen by chad or neo-fascists
for the record was between the short, last 2 minutes: -screaming- "you blew it up"- which is worth waiting for, at the end
& this the long version, so when I hesitated, then well?it seems more fitting than when I was deliberating

Driving drunk and wrapping your car around a telephone pole has consequences too. People make choices. Some turn out to be big mistakes.

*According to an analysis by The Post’s Fact Checker through the end of May, Trump had made 3,251 false or misleading claims in 497 days — an average of 6.5 LIES per day of his presidency.
There’s just no relationship between his statements — anything he utters — and the actual truth of the matter,” said Thomas Murray, president emeritus of the Hastings Center, the founding institution in the field of bioethics. “As far as I can tell, the best way to understand anything he says is what will best serve his interests in the moment. It’s irrespective to any version of the truth.”

Most self described patriots wrap themselves up in the flag. Today Trump, true to form, humped an American flag
yeah, wtf was that?
you know folks trump is playing us.
what are the two things trump likes more than prostitutes? money, and attention. this attention he gets puts the russian investigation on the back page.

Tearing children from their parents is hopefully as far as this psychopath is willing to go to distract attention from his misdeeds.
But, I am not confident, in that regard.
Trump has more sh#t up his sleeve than a cattleman examining his herd for pregnancies.

One night, while catching up on his Disney Channel reruns, President Trump was astonished to see an underaged Ivanka-clone speaking in a fake Russian accent.
The next morning, Trump came roaring downstairs and said, "YOU'RE HIRED!"
Caroline Sunshine, a former Disney Channel star, is now with the White House Press Office. She is widely respected, and she may take over when Sarah Huckabee Sanders retires.
Caroline Sunshine's Twitter account has over a million followers, making her the most experienced White House Press Officer to ever serve any President of the United States. Period.
I didn't make any of that up.
I put it into context.
