They refuse to see how completely opposed Trump’s values are to the values Jesus taught. In doing so, they’ve twisted Christianity into something unrecognizable to serve their own purposes.

RuledByStars@ruledbystars.bsky.social

Putting Trump beside Jesus while spewing hatred at Muslims is a spectacular confession of moral bankruptcy. Jesus preached love of neighbor & stranger, not pack up and go back. This isn’t Christianity. It’s bigotry wrapped in a cross, with Trump replacing Christ at the altar. What a pathetic person.

Apparently “national defense” now covers… coal subsidies. At this point the term means whatever a president wants it to mean, which should terrify anyone who cares about separation of powers. This is just more payback for the oligarchs who paid for his election.

Mockler vs Jennings is really an unfair match for a Jennings. Plus, Jennings has the impossible job of defending the indefensible.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Mockler: Do you agree that we've won? He said we've won. Yes or no? Jennings: If you consider a condition destroying their military capabilities… Mockler: We haven't. If that's true, why can't the strait of hormuz be open if their military is destroyed?

The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.

Whoa, I completely missed this. Thanks, Senator Durbin.

Durbin: It’s interesting—now they want to put ICE agents in airports, but they won’t be wearing masks. Wait a minute—they argued before that ICE agents on the street were vulnerable to doxxing and other things, but in airports they’re not? There’s an inconsistency there.

I don’t get how someone can reject the science and decades of research proving the measles vaccine is safe and effective yet take prescription drugs approved through the exact same rigorous process. #MeaslesIsBackForAReason #LogicNotIncluded

They’re not even pretending. When he says “us,” he’s talking about him and the little dynasty he’s grooming, not you, not me, not the country. “Us” is whatever benefits his personal stash in Qatar and the heirs to his grift.

Trump on Venezuela: "We've taken out 100 million barrels of oil already. A bit part of that goes to them and a big part goes to us. It's been great. We're gonna be running the oil."

They’re going to downplay it, minimize it, and lie straight through it, no matter how much harm is being done. Remember when Iran struck back and our own service members ended up with traumatic brain injuries? He’s still insisting they were just “minor headaches.” That’s not a slip, that’s a choice.

It is crucial to remember that America has a regime. The Trump regime. This is not a normal administration. Every single person who is a member of his administration is there because they have one thing in common. Lying to and for Trump. Sycophants. This is the Trump regime.

He does not care about honoring service members; they’re just instruments to him. He does not care about the American people, including the die‑hard MAGA supporters who cry tears for him. The only thing he cares about is the image he thinks he has, propped up by the lackeys who tell him he’s great.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Maybe if we still had that deal, instead of NO deal at all, we would not be in this position today.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Trump: “Barack Hussein Obama made maybe the worst deal I've ever seen…And I terminated that. If I didn't terminate that deal. They would be sitting with a massive nuclear weapon three years ago, which would have been used already on Israel, at least.”

It’s always easier to tear something down than to build it up. That’s true of people and countries just as much as buildings.

Gavin Newsom on Trump’s SOTU Address: Destruction is not strength. And all he's done is destroyed trust, institutions, the east wing, our alliances, our confidence in one another. He doubled down on stupid.

BREAKING: The DOJ has explained there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for dozens of Epstein files related to Donald Trump going missing. That reason is if they didn't go missing, they would incriminate Donald Trump.

Trump misrepresented who owns the bridge, where the materials come from, and key parts of the project all to boost a billionaire ally who owns the competing crossing. Give it a few weeks and they’ll claim “victory” by announcing Michigan now owns half the bridge… which it already does. #predictable

Decades ago, there was a joke that was already old: Q: Which is worse, ignorance or apathy? A: I don't know and I don't care. That joke now has a name, and it's Mike Johnson.

Trump talks about election integrity while simultaneously implying he’d toss it aside the moment it’s inconvenient. The hypocrisy is stunning. These f*cking people.

Trump on NBC doesn't slam the door on shredding the Constitution and serving an illegal third term

These f*cking people. “We’re going to let the actual investigation determine…” And now he says this while pretending he wasn’t one of the first to rush to judgment.

Q: “Does Alex Pretti and his family deserve an apology from the vice president?” Mayor Frey: “I apologize to the family of Alex Pretti because he did not deserve to be killed…That should not have happened at the hands of a government.”

If he were a normal person and suddenly gave this deranged Davos speech, everyone would be aghast. But he started his first campaign at rock‑bottom morally and has only trended downward since. At this point, shock isn’t really on the menu.

Atari Amstradsen@amstradsen.bsky.social

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

And yet, even today in Davos, the Orange F*** is still recycling claims of 2020 election fraud and promising convictions. If there were actual evidence, FOX and MAGA would have turned it into a week‑long telethon by now.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

"Only one single, solitary election administrator—out of tens of thousands of us throughout the United States—has been criminally convicted in connection with the 2020 presidential election. That one, of course, is Tina Peters."

First, then came for the illegal immigrants. Then they came for the legal Haiti immigrants Then they came for the transgender citizens. Then they came for the legal immigrants who thoughts they could not control. Then they came for the Somalis who don't look like them. They won't stop ...

They count on the fact that people have very short memories.

Sorkin: Trump said that China was going to buy 12 million tons of soybeans by the end of the year. I’ve asked members of the administration: the end of the year is basically here—we’re about 15 days away. I think we’ve sold about 300,000 metric tons. So how do you get from 300,000 to 12 million?

Just like his ridiculous executive orders, this will be easily undone with a Democrat is inaugurated in 2029. Add it to the list, please. #yourtaxdollarsatwork

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Trump adding his own name to the Kennedy Center - a memorial institution given its name after JFK was assassinated - is the most nakedly reprehensible and insulting act of cultural desecration by any modern US president. This is just beyond parody now. The man is mentally and cognitively unwell.
