"If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? Can we say with a straight face that abortion is a great evil that cannot be tolerated and, with the same straight face, say that the bent and broken character of our nation’s leader doesn’t really matter in the end?"

According to Trump, Christianity Today is too far left and progressive. Exactly, what I was thinking, too much new testament. We need more old testament. I wonder which democrat Trump wants stoned.

Wasington Post | How Trump’s conversations with Putin overlapped with his emerging Ukraine conspiracy theories

[72gmc]

Bundyville : NPR

And, from the article
The New Yorker

"In the lead-up to the election, Channel One, under Ernst, portrayed Putin as Yeltsin’s inevitable successor, and relentlessly attacked his rivals, presenting them as infirm, corrupt, even murderous. Putin’s poll numbers began rising by four or five points in a week, and he quickly went from an unknown entity to the most popular politician in the country. Channel One had backed politicians before, but this was something new: the invention of a candidate from thin air, a television phenomenon from the start. Putin won handily and, afterward, Ernst began to craft a visual language for his Presidency."

The version I heard was somewhat condensed: Got the facts, pound the facts; got the law, pound the law; got nothing, pound the table.

I keep wondering when the Republicans will give the table and their fists a rest.

This. The table and their fists have become one and are lodged deep in Trump’s ass.
