The man in the White House announced Monday that God had placed him there, though he avoided placing his hand on the bible as he swore an oath.

(continued from /5) "and asking of him what any spiritual, moral, or religious leader should ask of all of us: That we act with humanity. …

Conservatives, including elected officials, are already putting a target on her back."

@FallsMom A very good suggestion, I think. I will do my bit!

[wb2ifs@mastodon.hams.social]

@wdlindsy The man who never apologies demands an apology. #BishopBudde's response should be "you first!"

[futuredrstevie@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy He truly doesn't care, he's a narcissistic Nazi.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@futuredrstevie I'm glad that she cares, Bishop Budde — and many others who welcome her words.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@wb2ifs Indeed.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@StPborien Yes, for sure — maybe in her own way, she was doing that with her courageous sermon.

[futuredrstevie@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy Oh absolutely, she had bigger balls than many of the so called "men" sitting in the front row.

"It is one of the most extraordinary moments of the Trump era, and reminds us, on this day after we honored Dr. King, that not all heroes wear capes. Some may also wear robes."

"The reason this moment today popped out for me at least is that there are very few moments where culturally or religiously, I guess, we see people stand up and say, 'Actually, no, this is wrong, no, you shouldn't do this,' because we're in this very defensive crouch for anyone who's an opponent of what Trumpism is. So I think this is why this has got some resonance. ... And maybe that sparks other people to say something."

"The White House Spanish-language website has disappeared, leaving behind an unsettling farewell for its users: a prominent 'Go Home' button. …

After clicking the "go home" button, users are directed to a montage of military imagery paired with triumphant music and cinematic shots of Trump, which leads to a page titled "America is Back."

"ICE is here in parts of Detroit and some suburbs with many immigrants (Arabs and Latins), including Dearborn & Hamtramck.
They applauded & voted for Trump last fall.

Because: 'Gaza.' …

We tried to tell them.

They wouldn’t listen. That’s why swing state Michigan went to Trump, and last November, those people were happy and proud of how they made that happen."

@Corb_The_Lesser Thanks for noting that. It helps give us non-Kentuckians a geographical pinpoint.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@futuredrstevie Well-noted. I agree.

[yuhasz01@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy So much for Hispanics that thought Trumpo was supporting them...They were conned by the conman. El Stupido...

@wdlindsy
For those wondering, the standard 404 page has a button that says, "Go to home page."

This is definitely a message, and it's beyond fucked up.
