TBH it seems the phrase was in circulation at least since the Civil War, both Confederate and Union Troops used the phrase. So I really can't blame the elder Graham solely responsible for convincing Pres Eisenhower and Congress.

I do hold Franklin on the same evangelistic level as the Falwell family, Pat Robertson and Oral Roberts.

Thanks to evangelist Billy Graham

I can't vilify Billy Graham but Franklin Graham is a piece of work.

It was only about 250 years ago that the Royal Governor of the Virginia Colony dissolved the House of Burgess for declaring a day of prayer in support of the Massachusetts Colony.

"Only the King (or his designated representative) has the power to declare a day of prayer"

well, they did add "in god we trust" to the currency since then. 

Pathetic

Why would the FSB want to kill the leader of Iran when he's been so helpful to Russia?

Is it intentionally trying to annoy people by excluding the old english D?

Much less funny

Also amusing

So amusing

Of course Elon Musk is going to stoke the death of the Iranian leadership...not great Elon.

Probably won't see the above on RT or any of the "Patriot" RW media in this country because it doesn't feed the dumb narrative of the guileless smoothbrained neckbeards who love them some autocracy and christian nationalism.

The Russian Orthodox Church is an arm of the Russian state and the clerics of the ROC are an arm of the Russian intelligence services.

Actually didn't AOC call MTG "baby girl", that's a pretty good slam, though maybe not in MTGs exurban neck of the woods.

So, all of our struggling hitters did great last night except Jake Rogers.  He looks like he needs reps. 

Nothing to wring anyone’s hands over. MTG is a dumb entitled ass.

Here’s the part of the interview that he mentions pardoning Trump. It would have been a political calculation.

Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. If there was a condition that Trump would drop out of the race and retire quietly to Florida or wherever and stay out of the limelight yes. 
 

In that same scenario Biden would probably not run for a second term.

Neither is going to happen in the real world of 2024

Yeah, the solidarity of the crazies isn't the endorsement that Trump thinks it might be.  

Sounds like Cohen was getting pretty angry going to jail for Trump and the defense was accusing him of bad faith for doing that.

Yeah, the basic Mitt platform of empowering private equity at the expense of the individual doesn't look that great.  The thing about telework is not/NOT about improving the quality of US Government work, its to protect the owners of all those office buildings downtown. 

Its actually amazing to me that so many people support the Mitt weltanschaung when they don't benefit from them.

he's no fan of Trump the man, he was/is a fan of Trump as a right side President. He still wants to defend/protect that aspect of the brand and apparently sees them as separable.

Is OAN an acronym for OnlyFans?  Because I think that's where she ends up. 

Or she'll be the face of a conservative version of it.  No woke porn.  

 

West of the Mississippi river the Conservative movement used to be much more friendly to the seedier sides of life.  Now with all the cowboy churches and the influx of upset evangelicals from California and elsewhere they are much more repressed.  I have no problem with her plying her trade.  I do have a problem with her and MTG trying to claim any virtue they lack.  Mary Magdalene they are not.
