So, the richest man in the world who spent $250 million to elect Trump wants to take away social programs that benefit seniors, children, the middle class, and the poor in order to further enrich himself?

Is that the plot? Did I get that right?

The quote mentions nothing about “elite” coalitions, for the record.

About to hit the treadmill and then the hot tub to finish off a long week. What are you doing for your self care today?

That’s a high compliment!

Blueskyroast.com is way too much fun.

Not for nothing: Just as folks have long parsed the theologies of Christian conservatives to understand major influences on the GOP/Trump, folks are likely gonna start parsing a lot of big tech ideology for the same reason.

Yeah, their version of the 12 Days of Christmas is what I imagine being on LSD must be like

For the life of me, I do not understand people’s obsession with Christmas poinsettias. I’ve been pastoring churches for more than a decade and I still don’t understand the hype. Is it a boomer thing? Is it just because they’re green and red? Is there any liturgical significance at all?
