"At long last, we have invented the Golden Calf from the famous Bible story Don't Worship The Golden Calf."
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

The reason I’m not spreading the latest rumor about Donald Trump and Bill Clinton is because it is obvious bullshit and the Republicans will weaponize it to dilute the severity of the allegations that are far more likely to be true

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.
He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Symbolic, but with a kicker: Trump is letting people know that if you do something for him over the next 3+ years that might get you in trouble, he'll pardon you... so don't worry about going too far.
