Retired Episcopal clergy. Left of center. We’ve been created equal - let’s behave like it and level the playing field. So tired of, and disgusted by, the Republicans in DC. On a happier note, I am a diehard Bills’ fan.

I apparently missed the announcement that the US motto has been changed from “In God we trust” to “Let them eat cake.”

And another school shooting. 47 likely sees this as his opening to send troops, which is not what is needed. The feckless clowns in Congress must grow a set and enact stringent gun laws that protect the innocent, limit the types of guns available, and punish those who break the law.

Words that give one pause: “Hegseth appears to be reshaping the military into ‘a cross between a sweat lodge and WWE.’”

This afternoon, the US can never make comments regarding other countries committing genocide. This “big, beautiful bill” assures genocide on a grand scale. Jesus weeps.

I did not vote for 47, nor do I endorse the insanity into which we have been pulled. He needs to go, along with the other members of the clown show. What in God’s name does he think he is doing?

Just watched Surviving Ohio State. Not sure whether I need to vomit, cry, scream, or take a shower; it makes you feel absolutely dirty and positively disgusted. My sadness for the athletes who were abused knows no depth. Jim Jordan and others from OSU, should be in prison.

47’s need to play tough guy (as he impulsively tips his hand to the world), is beyond frightening. His minions (who all have big d**k wet dreams) can’t wait for this to blow up. The problem is - as always - there is no real plan, and consequences have not been considered. Lord, have mercy.

And there you have it, folks: genocide.
David Brooks, a conservative columnist speaks about the amount of people who have died directly as a result of cuts to USAID by Doge.
Over 55,000 adults, 6,000 children just from AIDS. That’s a total of 300,000 who have died due to Doge’s cuts.
It’s only been four months.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social It’s all about the narrative. Folks wanted to hear what was in it for them, not about our responsibility to the whole and greater good. Republicans embraced the former, and Dems the latter. This is why we didn’t win: we’ve lost our ability to care.

Erdogan and MBS applaud 47’s lifting of sanctions on Syria; that in and of itself tells me it is not a good idea. Waiting for Orban to provide his ringing endorsement. And nothing like offending the Iranians with the comment about changing the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Gulf; what a statesman.

Disingenuous moment of the week: watching folks on the news gleefully announcing the slashing of tariffs with China, as if this was a revolutionary development. 4 months ago, there were no tariffs; 47 created them. He’s hoping you don’t remember that part. Not a savior; he’s a con man.

The assault on the Constitution is happening *right now*. We cannot wait to defend it.
Just since I left town on Friday:
-Stephen Miller floats suspending habeas corpus
-ICE arrests a mayor under dubious pretext
-DHS threatens to arrest members of Congress
-Qatar gives Trump a $400 million plane he *gets to keep*
-Trump's emissary is negotiating with Russia using Putin's interpreters

So 47 has declared war on Amazon because Bezos let consumers know the cost of tariffs on their goods. Calling it a “hostile act” because he can’t admit the tariffs are a disaster, is rather funny. Keep up the good work, 47. Your legacy grows more deranged every day, and I am here for it.

If it is true that Bessent’s Key Square assets increased every year but 2017-2021 when they declined or broke even, and then made major gains through 2023, isn’t it nuts to go work for the one who was President in the lean years?

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

“The only way to make the tariff go away is for Canada to become the 51st state.” This, from the leader of the (for now) free world. Sounds more like a Mafia don.

Bullying and crass behavior does not engender or nurture peace. 47 needs to learn the art of statesmanship. Vance does, too. Otherwise, this isn’t peace; it’s simply emotional terrorism.

? for those who identify as Christian: Do you embrace and live out the teachings of Jesus, or do you believe weekly pew sitting grants you the distinction? I know folks who don’t attend church and yet are so much more Christ-like than many folks in the pews. It’s time for the Gospel revolution.

I refuse to let an emotional terrorist dictate my life. 47 is a little man who makes big claims, threats, and has apparent dirt on folks they are too frightened to call him on. He is emboldened by bullying behavior and stooges willing to do his bidding. ENOUGH. We need to stand up to him NOW.

For the love of all that is sacred and holy, stop with the pounding of Bp. Budde. Her sermon was not political, it was grounded in the Gospel; Jesus would be saying the exact words the Bishop spoke. Perhaps it is time for a bit of Bible study.
