Good read (or listen):
“Baby Christian” my ass.
While sometimes I could be charitable and read “guys” to mean “people”, in this case I feel very strongly that my reading of it as “men” is probably the intent of Phillips.
“Possible” here is a euphemism for “obvious”.
Well, obviously, because women aren’t funny! /s
After trump dies his associates will all say the same.
“It’s possible that Trump doesn’t actually know what ______ is”
Insert literally anything in that blank spot. You will always be correct.
in a way. I found it highly depressing, I mean, stuff like this
Not long before my trip to Alabama, my mom sent me a book called The Book of Signs: 31 Undeniable Prophesies of the Apocalypse, by Dr. David Jeremiah. “If you want to know what the religious right thinks,” she’d called to say, “read this book.” So I started reading.
Jeremiah is pastor of the San Diego megachurch helmed for 25 years by Tim LaHaye, co-author of the Left Behind series, and he is a fervent follower of the End Times theology his predecessor popularized.
By referencing symbolism in the Bible and shoehorning historical and current events into a narrative, The Book of Signs “proves” Jesus’ imminent return. It’s the type of book that mostly appeals to people already primed to believe it, but close to half of Americans do.
In fact, 41 percent of the country — and 58 percent of white evangelicals — believe that Jesus definitely or probably will return to Earth by 2050.
In June 2016, Trump named Jeremiah to his Evangelical Executive Advisory Board. In May 2018, Trump moved the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, an event that is meant to presage Christ’s return.
this is fucking nightmare-fuel! and yes, I knew about the “prayers” but actualy seeing a photo of this culty, empty bullshit
its just so fucking unreal, cant wrap my head around it how this shitshow had happen…
On my drunkard’s walk through figures on the Christian Right, I keep bumping into people who’ve written a series of Rapture Porn books.
“Something” nudged Graham.

WH Staff Member {Leaker}, to Trump: “This is a great photo, boss! It’s perfect PR! Send it out to everyone! They’ll all love it!”
[WH Staff Member, alone later]: 
Squeezing votes from coal:
Actually, extracting heavy metals out of coal ash is a brilliant idea. Every few years there is an environmental disaster somewhere where a coal ash pond breaches and dumps tons of toxic heavy metals into local waterways. Make good use of that waste! Keep it out of the drinking water!
But… Extracting heavy metals from coal just to keep mining the stuff is really, really dumb and wasteful. As a talking point it sounds like this guy got put on the spot and that was all he could come up with off the cuff.
the “free” market at work, I assume?
The whole “I’m an asshole who wants to treat you like shit - but I want you to not only agree I have the right to be an asshole but shut up, give me money and tell me that you love me for being an asshole and treating people like shit” is a bold marketing plan.
It’s only a matter of time before this becomes widely available there
