“God used immoral leaders throughout Scripture, so why can’t God use Trump too?”
I absolutely believe God is using Donald Trump—God is using him to expose how so much of white evangelicalism has completely abandoned the way of Jesus.

This image just flashed up on my Facebook. Someone had taken this picture of our huddle (all women, mind you) gearing up to intubate our first #COVID patient in 2021.
While I appreciate how historic the captured moment was, I also had chills run down my spine, instant flashbacks, and PTSD. Sigh.

But to that aging, weird, Epstein pal, ephebophile, draft dodging guy in the picture, who is getting uber-rich trading on power, pardons and insider information? The guy who has been deporting pastors, and sending peaceable refugees off to torture prisons? Fuck no!!

Trump speaks loudly and carries a small stick. He's turned the bully pulpit into a bullshit pulpit. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Thank You for Your Inattention to This Matter
The good news is that the world has stopped responding breathlessly to Donald Trump’s every empty provocation. That’s also the bad news.

Before, or after, you reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
Trump: "We will abolish the sanctuary cities. We will abolish them. We will destroy them. We will take them out. We're going to take them out of service."

Doctors say that childhood vaccines save thousands of lives. A guy who shits himself in public and struggles to pass basic cognitive tests say they cause autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Hmm, we had prescribed this Testosterone gel, and we can't figure out why your levels aren't coming up.
Patient: ...
OK. Well, come back and see us in 3 months for a recheck.
Patient: Can you Rx a different Testosterone gel? This one tastes horrible.
