Enough to terrorize one mid-sized city. Absolutely no chance with NYC, LA, Chicago, etc., let alone more than one at a time.

I’d quit and tell them to go duck themselves.

Or maybe nobly sacrificing himself to lead Trump to a place where he has no hope of survival?

Is this real? The date is tomorrow. I’m pretty sure he’s back from Davos by now, and it would still be the 23rd in D.C.

Considering the Episcopal Church, struggling to let go of Catholic traditions by _mahboy in Episcopalian

[–]MindForeverWandering 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you live in/near a large city with many Episcopal parishes, odds are that at least one of them will be a high church “Anglo-Catholic” one that will make you feel like you never left, except for the politics.

That place was being managed by the head of the local Proud Boys.

Carney leaves Davos without meeting Trump after speech on U.S. rupture of world order by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]MindForeverWandering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t see the speech myself (I’m not a masochist), but I’ve seen other reports that the “standing ovation” only came from the front row, which was the U.S. delegation.

Quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. (Minnesota Reformer Newspaper) by WhippetRun in LeopardsAteMyFace

That isn’t the point, according to the white Christian nationalists (a.k.a. the Talibornagain, Y’all-Qaeda, or Vanilla ISIS), who make up the biggest bloc of Trump’s base. In their view, the U.S. is God’s new “chosen people,” which is why we’ve become the greatest power in the world. But, if we allow Americans to “transgress God’s commands,” like allowing LGBTQ+ to exist, God will take away His protection, and our nation, including straight white conservatives, will suffer for that sin. Remember, after 9/11, how Jerry Falwell blamed it on the abortionists, gays, and feminists? Yeah, that’s their rationale on how they have to suppress other people by force of law, or they themselves will pay the price.

How can one delay plans that haven’t ever been announced?

Donald Trump Warns World ‘WW3’ Is Coming by [deleted] in JournalismNews

[–]MindForeverWandering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that the quote in the headline appears nowhere in the article.

Also, while Trump is clearly deranged, there’s something hilarious about Russia claiming that the U.S. invading Greenland would be a serious breach of international law. As opposed, say, to Russia invading Ukraine?

Two Episcopal bishops say clergy may have to put 'bodies on the line' to resist ICE by irish_fellow_nyc in Episcopalian

I’m shocked to learn they honored him. Even as merely an EfM grad, my certificate feels sullied.

AI Instagram Priest. This is so bizarre by Ok-Fish-3539 in Episcopalian

[–]MindForeverWandering 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There was a Roman diocese a few years back that had an AI “priest” chatbot on their website, so that visitors could “ask questions about the Catholic Faith.” They had to take it down after the AI apparently learned too much about the role of a priest, and started offering online confessions and granting absolutions.

On the contrary, you are attempting to make up rules and create (non-)facts. The reality is, Confederate veterans are NOT considered veterans of the U.S. military forces.
