Two things:
1) @ZachWLambert is a wonderful human and pastor who loves Jesus deeply.
2) Be the kind of Christian that charlatans like @howertonjosh call “heretics.”

Evangelical Christianity in the United States is often characterized by a deep desire to have “Christianity” pervade our culture but not have Christ permeate our being.

He’s a grotesque human being. Taking a despicable cheap shot at an American president to make a communist dictator laugh.

There is no better example I can think of how Trump isn’t a steward of America or remotely patriotic or even nationalistic. He is simply a partisan of his own ego. This is just gross. He’s trying to suck up to a dictator and adversary by mocking another American president. And, btw, the anonymous functionary running this account will be remembered as a tiny little throne-sniffing weasel.

What’s funny about this is it’s not just Republicans in Alabama that are out of touch with reality. It’s everywhere.
People are mad about gas prices and the cost of living and he’s talking about “furries.” Vote them out 🗳️

I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president we've ever had, and it's not even close.

This is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look the other way while it becomes normalized. This is how great political parties self-destruct. Sad.

MAGA, what is stopping Donald Trump from giving you your $5,000 checks right now? Republicans control all 3 branches of government.
Like seriously, how stupid are you to continue falling for this shit? At some point you have to realize you are being played. Right? Right?

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis is calling on Trump to fire Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following Dan Driscoll’s resignation as Secretary of the Army:
“I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country. He is intimidated by competence and retreats to ginning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense and the health and well-being of our fighting force,” Tillis said.

Ted. Look at our deficit. Look at how much we pay in interest every minute of every day. Look what that is doing to interest rates.
It’s Econ 101, you either have to raise revenue significantly, cut spending, significantly. Or both.
Talarico committed to support the Break Up Big Medicine Bill. That was a pre requisite for my doing the event with him this week.
If this Hawley/ Warren bill passes, we would reduce the deficit. We would cut costs for patients. Drug pricing would drop like a rock.
Yet not a word from you in support Ted. Why ?
A true capitalist would understand how these economics work. They wouldn’t ignore the fact that our debt levels pull money away from business. And consumers.
If you truly want to do what is best for business, and the economy, we are going to have to raise taxes and cut spending.
The best place to cut spending is by removing the HealthCare middlemen that are Too Big To Care, which is exactly what the Break Up Big Medicine Bill does
You ready to whip up support among republicans ? Or do you prefer people dying because they can’t afford care , and the economy continuing to slow down because we are having to print money to financial engineer our debt obligations.
What say you Ted ?
Mark, your second paragraph refutes your first, and your support for James Talarico makes the contradiction even stranger.
You’re right: taxes change behavior. That’s why President Trump cut them. After years of Obama-era stagnation, we rewarded work and investment. Before COVID, unemployment hit a 50-year low and poverty fell to the lowest rate ever recorded.
Last July, every Senate Democrat voted to let a $4 trillion tax increase hit Americans, the largest in history. Now Talarico wants higher taxes, calls capitalism an “oppressive system” to be dismantled, says “God is nonbinary,” says there are “six really common biological sexes,” and wants a “giant welcome mat” at our southern border.
If incentives matter, and they do, why on earth would Texas go backwards?
