To TFG: "We've been menaced by fascists before, you two-bit goon"

Trump, the mob boss, tries to shake down American Jews. "Love me, or else."

We've been menaced by fascists before, you two-bit goon. We recognize the the threat you represent from the darkest pages of our history. That's why we'll never submit to your threats.

'Putin plays the egos of big men, gives them a sense that they can play a role. ...

🧵Fiona Hill sat down with @politico's @MauraReynolds to discuss Vladimir Putin, what it would take to end the war in Ukraine & Elon Musk.

Hill sees Putin trying to get the West to accede to his aims by using messengers like billionaire Elon Musk to propose arrangements that would end the conflict on his terms. ‘Putin plays the egos of big men, gives them a sense that they can play a role. …

Putin, using Musk, “is basically short-circuiting the diplomatic process. He wants to lay out his terms & see how many people are going to pick them up. All of this is an effort to get Americans to take themselves out of the war”

Christians in America. They strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Dark and terrible as is this picture, I hold it to be strictly true of the overwhelming mass of professed Christians in America. They strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Could anything be more true of our churches? They would be shocked at the proposition of fellowshipping a sheep-stealer; and at the same time they hug to their communion a man-stealer, and brand me with being an infidel, if I find fault with them for it. They attend with Pharisaical strictness to the outward forms of religion, and at the same time neglect the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith. They are always ready to sacrifice, but seldom to show mercy. They are they who are represented as professing to love God whom they have not seen, whilst they hate their brother whom they have seen. They love the heathen on the other side of the globe. They can pray for him, pay money to have the Bible put into his hand, and missionaries to instruct him; while they despise and totally neglect the heathen at their own doors.
