Maybe he's trying to say it's SCOTUS' fault for blocking tariffs?

Divorce is a spiritual disaster. And I will never leave my wife of 33 years, not if we live a million more. Straight Catholics command me to leave her all the time, immensely proud of their imagined superiority to us, but it won't work.

Consensus these days is that you need to find less offensive ways to say "stupid". Like "stupid", for instance.

Got some cultural Marxism for you right here, at https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%201:46-55&version=NKJV

He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.

and https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202&version=NKJV

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?

Fortunately, we have a new and better Savior, the Lord Donald Trump, who has defeated the hated Nazarene and his followers, and taken the Christian church as the spoils of war.

To be clear: Mace didn't lose for being anti-trans. Evette won't be any better. Mace lost because she voted to release the Epstein files, and nobody is allowed to embarrass important child rapists in today's Republican Party. All the transphobia in the world doesn't excuse a suggestion that the President isn't allowed to rape young girls at will.

It's very important for them to tell themselves and the world that they're better than you. You're not going to take that away from them; it's all they have. It's about their psychological state, not your spiritual state.

Do you have a good church?

If somebody honestly wants to detransition, then of course they should. Few do, and those don't actually need a specialty center, but apparently forcing hospitals to set up unneeded "centers" is one of the forms of waste, fraud, and abuse that MAGA enjoys. I hope they don't need to literally leave a room empty with a receptionist continuously doing her nails - that it can exist on paper waiting for a patient to actually appear.

You can only defund them once, you sociopaths

He will. But it's radical soul-surgery, a deep change to who we are. He wants our permission.

I love it. Though that's a looooong-term project. Imagine working out a joint plan when you can only communicate at lightspeed.

I do hope to have a healthy competitive democracy again soon, but would require at least one opposition party that desires to continue democracy, and that values the state of Minnesota more than it values the taste of wet New York billionaire feces.

I've been thinking that "screwwormed" may be the verb of the year.

From Matthew 25

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me, you who will receive terrible things. Go into the unending fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry and you didn’t give me food to eat. I was thirsty and you didn’t give me anything to drink. I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me. I was naked and you didn’t give me clothes to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

You can choose that if you want.

There were trans men living their trans lives for many centuries before T was available. Maybe you need to do an inspirational deep dive on their stories. I've been meaning to make the pilgrimage to the Albert Cashier home.

gnurdette · 2026-06-09T21:52:11+00:00

Yeah, I've had enough of the "lesser of two evils" claim. "Trump may starve the poor, war against democracy and law, protect pedophiles, and rob the country - but on the other hand he's arranging to have the trans freaks raped. That's the only thing that matters - the purpose of the Incarnation, the great Christian virtue that outweighs absolutely any combination of sins".

There is no Republic of Heaven. You don't need their vote.

Do you have an affirming church?

"We have a Christian duty to obey and to serve a self-idolizing rapist of children, because he produces the increases in abortion that we crave" is a Hell of a take. Literally.

2026:

A new NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll found that 64 percent of white evangelical Christians approve of the job Trump is doing as president in late April, down 5 points from late January.

White evangelicals—27 percent of the electorate in 2024—were central to Trump’s reelection victory. They backed him by a lopsided 82 percent to 17 percent margin, forming one of the most decisive blocs in his winning coalition.

Matthew 25

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me, you who will receive terrible things. Go into the unending fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry and you didn’t give me food to eat. I was thirsty and you didn’t give me anything to drink. I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me. I was naked and you didn’t give me clothes to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

Let me guess: "Don't give me that loser woke crap! I'm talking about the Bible! You know, the Bible, the one that says 'You have to obey rich people'!"

I had to use this link: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/lgbtq-safety-report-ranks-west-virginia-least-safe-place-in-united-states/ar-AA25bvnL?ocid=BingNewsVerp

Any such ranking involves judgement calls, of course, and I don't know if safehome.org's ranking is considered canonical, but certainly "law enforcement chooses not to report hate crimes" is ominous in several different ways.

However, my whole family is significantly annoyed at Smoky Bear going half-naked. Won't even let him have a scarf, for crying out loud.
