It's no coincidence that Sinclair Lewis placed a Protestant bishop at the center of an authoritarian government's rise in "It Can't Happen Here."
Lewis understood how the American strain of the Christian religion would be central to the destruction of liberalism and democracy.

"Morally filthy" to describe the U.S.?
Yep. That basically sums it up.

I've always thought Reverend Wright was morally correct as well.

Who knew Trump's moment to jump the shark would result from a war of choice and blasphemy? π€

If it's all done in papier-mΓ’chΓ© we can burn it down on January 20, 2029 along with all the Trump banners littering our national institutions.

Has anyone else thought that the Trump purge is meant to stave off a 25th Amendment action?

That would be a person bad at their job who thinks they are good at it.

You could look at it that way or you could say they are being very effectively racist, which pleases to no end their white Christian nationalist constituency.

Getting this man's stank removed from public life will take at least the next three administrations and lots of soap.

How is what Jared Kushner is doing internationally any different than what Corey Lewandowski was doing domestically at DHS?

We are now in the stage where Trump's impact on the world is determined by the next bullshit Meme of the Day.
Certainly people have to wake up at some point, right?

How to admit you know your party is heading toward political oblivion without saying so directly.

I encourage Trump to have a couple of Big Macs and a few Filet-O Fish sandwiches in honor of Robert Mueller's passing, and may the venous insufficiency leave Trump not far behind.

Trump is a lame duck but I suspect--if he's still alive--that he'll be the lamest duck of them all come November 4, 2026.

John you clearly don't want to save the village. Everyone knows you've got to burn a village to save a village. Sure, we're burning all the villages, including our own, but that's just how it works, right?
