This is the case where these sorts of Christians, not only endorsing or voting for Donald Trump, embracing him causes them to lose all credibility. The guy is just an amoral person, someone who clearly lacks any sort of faith or spirit. I can't judge where his soul lies, that's above my pay grade, but just on his deeds and actions, that's what I see in how he comports himself. Really people shouldn't judge others for there faith, but the kinds of people you describe, as far as I'm concerned, have forfeited any sort of credibility or moral high ground on anything

Can't speak to whether he's referring to something related to his lane, but as a purely political matter, how anybody could watch what happened in 2022 and 2023 and think "oh yeah, what's the big deal about a little inflation" is beyond my comprehension.

Looking forward to seeing how this is all Biden's fault.

Definitely not excusing anything. But there's value in understanding it.

There's also the fact that polling (including the CBS YouGov poll that Holic was extolling on Sunday) shows that a majority of voters were not supportive of pardoning J6 criminals. I feel like I have to say it again and again and again, but people voted for him in-spite of these views, not because of them. MAGA doesn't get it

Literally not what anybody here said

I don't need the ADL to tell me what I saw.

Trump is definitely not to blame for Trump's decisions to pardon a bunch of violent criminals. Just stellar logic right there.... you'd think he was a toddler who didn't have control of any of his faculties lol

Thanks for sharing - looks like it could be SOP, although with H5N1 going around, it seems like maybe they should do some of the onboarding on the fly.

If you're referring to Ulbricht, also with evidence to suggest attempting a murder-for-hire scheme Not clear why this is something to be celebrated?

It's behind a paywall for me, does this impact recalls as well?

When I think good guys, I definitely think of the Robber Barons... Jeebus

Even over the course of my life (36 years now), people have gotten more and more cynical and nihilistic. Social media, in particular, added gasoline to that fire. What's particularly ironic is that I have family members who, back when FB first burst into the scene, would warn me against it and that it was bad. Fast forward to today, the roles are almost inversed lol Regardless, Donald is just the perfect leader for the "LOL, nothing matters" era that we find ourselves in. Distrustful of others, negative about the world, etc.

Trump publicized this by taking this action in the first place. He felt it important enough even to take this action on Day One of his Presidency. You realize he has agency and could very well have not taken this action, right?

For all the people complaining yesterday around 10 am about Biden's pardons, you think Trump is interested in some pardon reform? lol

There was no physical abuse in my marriage. Also I will not be speaking about my marriage to Pete. Good Lord, that's a wild construct of the English language

Sounds incredibly lawyered to say the least

It's still up, genius

One thing not discussed is that all the "51st State" stuff strikes at the pride of the Canadians as a people. Like, I think the assumption is that US can do whatever he wants in the relationship, but making it so personal risks stoking the patriotism of Canadians as well and increasing their tolerance for pain or interest in retaliating to the moves our government may make.

Exactly. Ten years on, and we still infantilize the guy.

I fail to understand why it matters whether people are surprised by this move or not. It doesn't make it any less outrageous. And is there reason to criticize Biden? Maybe. But I don't think criticism of Trump and every move he makes as President needs to be predicated or qualified by the actions of his predecessor.

Sounds like just the kind of personality to run one of the largest bureaucracies in the world. Yikes.
