One of the most grotesque contradictions in history has been in faith based communities and orgs willingness to embrace demagogic monsters with the very satanic personalities one might think they oppose. Predisposed to cult creation. Mindless idolatry.

Trump is building a dictatorship with Christian support. This is a stain on the religion and an insult to the many Christians who believe in good works and live their lives that way. Time for Christians who follow Jesus' teachings to push back and save their religion and their country. 🧵 3/

It’s encouraging that Pope Leo has denounced Trump’s campaign of terror against immigrants. But 55% of Catholics voted for Trump in 2024, and 81% of white evangelicals did. Voters who attend religious services at least once a month backed Trump nearly 2-to-1. 🧵 2/

According to the declaration, she received the first indictment with a no bill on one count at 6:40, then went straight to court for it to be read at 6:47. Not only did she not go back to get a second indictment, there wouldn't be time to go through the formal process.

When the judge ordered her to provide the GJ transcripts, that wasn't in there, so he assumed she left it out—fair assumption since she had already had to be ordered to supplement once. Instead of supplementing, they filed a declaration saying there was noting more.

Then, for some boneheaded reason, she gave the two inconsistent indictments to the judge. The judge was puzzled, but assumed that Halligan had presented the second indictment to the grand jury, which would involve going through some of the basic procedures like giving the formal instructions.

This is another example of DOJ creating new problems by trying to get out of previous mistakes. It looks like Halligan wanted to save face when she got no-billed on one of the counts, so she prepared a new indictment with only two counts to make it look like the GJ agreed with her on everything.

I become more convinced every day that there is something seriously wrong with any American who continues to support Donald Trump.

If Trump's plan does not wake up European states to the reality that the US under his leadership is an existential threat to freedom on the continent--nothing will.

Trump's plan is so grotesque and makes the US such an enemy of European freedom, that European states should have no other option than to tell Trump to shove it where the sun does not shine.

And, of course, it would allow the US to get back to business with Russia.

Trump’s plan is to make a democracy that is fighting for its very existence, a vassal to a brutal and oppressive dictatorship. He is making the USA an accomplice to Ukraine’s eventual destruction.
