It's almost as if the Enlightenment figures who founded the US had learned the lessons of Europe's wars of religion and created a secular state that would both protect worshippers from political interference, AND protect the polity from becoming dominated by religious sectarians.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Atlantic: What would happen if you accidentally got the wrong person (re: deportations) - a legal resident, or even an American citizen?
Trump: Let me tell you that nothing will ever be perfect in this world.
This should chill you to your core.
We will not be acceptable casualties to fascism.

Aetna Advantage dropped their OTC benefit from $105 before 2025 to $50 for 2025. 50%!!!!
Like Aetna reduces my benefits because they need the money more than their customers.
Also, even though I tried for 26 minutes and couldn’t reach a decision maker.

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.
Trump’s U.S.A.I.D. Cuts Hobble Earthquake Response in Myanmar
While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.
At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.
