Donald Trump blasted a Christian bishop, claiming she was a hater for preaching a message of compassion for fellow human beings. I’m not a Christian, but if Christ were real and alive today I’m pretty sure he’d take the side of the bishop over Trump. Am I wrong about that?
Trump exploded in fury at Bishop Marian Budde on Truth Social a little after midnight, calling her a "hater."
As we argue on today's pod, there is nothing MAGA despises more than appeals to common decency and humanity.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
