Antioch over Alexandria. Non-creedal. Non-liturgical. Anti-determinist. Radical Reformationist.
I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you. My magic is never giving up. Do you even listen to yourself?

Sympathy for
Sure, but, I can't find it in my heart to work up any sympathy Massie. Classifying Massie as a 'Trump foe' as many are wont to do, seems either intentionally disingenuous or historically illiterate.
Massie's wife of 30 years died in June 2024. He got married last month. That's... more than a year later? I mean, it's incredibly gross regardless, and of course Trump is on his third wife. But a widower remarrying within a couple of years isn't even unusual, that's hardly the day after the funeral.

To distract from the Epstein emails Trump is attacking Thomas Massie over his wife dying.

The belief that "Big tent politics" is mandatory is the main criticism I have of Reagan. I hold the same criticism here for Raskin.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

At least *as* important for those on this site to recognize is that, much as those on this site might not wish to believe it, many on the side that is losing, though they made a morally reprehensible choice, at their core, aren't.
I know that this site leans quite left, so I very much hope that people will recognize the significance of this news. The right is cleaving, and the side triumphing — in terms of sheer numbers and media coverage — needs to be understood for exactly what it is: authoritarian and bigoted.

Apparently it doesn't take much to be considered a "good man".
This flies in opposition to the book upon which the Judeo-Christian tradition is supposed to be based upon.

“If you speak out in defense of judicial independence only to protect judges (or justices) who rule the way you want them to, then I respectfully submit that your definition of judicial independence is bollocks.”

193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.

From a Bible believing Christian perspective "the molesters were homosexuals and not technically pedophiles" is not the defense these fellas obviously think it is...
"They weren't pedophiles, they were homosexuals"
Yeah, but they were still Catholics though.

The oligarchs who rule him will force him to do their bidding.
They’ll drive him to his death.
He’s got ICE J6 boyos over a barrel and they have trump over a barrel.
We can thank our ignorant red State republicans for all of it

Wrong. You give them all lifeboats. Do not incentivize them to keep the ship afloat. Once the ship has sunk then you can hit em as hard as you want.
the scramble for GOP hopefuls to distance themselves from Trump as the ship goes down is going to be crazy and the most important thing to do is sink all the lifeboats
none of them are allowed to escape his legacy

The state of transformation you’re wanting to see in the here and now isn’t anywhere promised in the NT and you’re only talking about churches in the US. The witness of Acts and the Epistles is that the churches were regularly a mess of immorality and being called away from it.

If we are a nation of laws as opposed to "feels", it absolutely is.
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

My working theory is that if you are an extremely wealthy man you don’t necessarily interact with true peers all that often and if on a rare time that you do you see that everyone else is having sex with the beautiful women who are here for some reason that then becomes a normal thing to you 1/3
