Mr. Trump was emotionally/psychologically unwell when he became president. His condition is clearly worsening. He's becoming more volatile, erratic and unstable. At some point he's going to blow apart. When he does it'll create a crisis. This won't end well. Pray for our country.

Most of what Mr. Trump says these days is literally made up. He's trying to construct a world of make believe and fairly tales, of myth and fiction, of illusion and hallucination. It's a world increasingly detached from reality. The rest of us must refuse to live within the lie.
Trump’s continued talk of a middle class tax cut right before the midterms, like at tonight’s rally in Texas, apppears to be an acknowledgment that the GOP tax cut is not viewed by enough Americans as particularly helpful to them and perhaps more geared toward wealthier folks.

When will Republicans finally find the courage to speak out against Trump instead of defending him? Their credibility is being shattered.

Robert Mueller’s interpretation of his report is fundamentally different than what Bill Barr told us. I would suggest that between the two, Americans would be wise to trust the interpretation and integrity of the author of the report.

If you voted to uphold Trump's national emergency declaration, you may be many things -- but you are not a "constitutional conservative." There's no way to spin this one. Silly excuses will only serve to deepen cynicism.

For more than 6 years Trump supporters-M of C, "public intellectuals" and right-wing commentators-stood by Trump. Some were silent; others publicly defended him. Still others attacked his critics. Don't act shocked now. They created this monster; he and they are forever twinned.

Indeed he is. Mitt Romney is an honest and brave Republican voice in an era when Republican lawmakers have been silent and weak. Good for the senator from Utah.
Romney is finding his voice. He deserves major kudos for this... from both parties.

Good luck
@Mike_Pence
. The president to whom you have been servile for four years is now demanding you do what you cannot do, to do what is impossible. And if you fail him, he is likely to tear you apart. "For whatever a man sows, this he will also reap."
If Vice President
@Mike_Pence
comes through for us, we will win the Presidency. Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect & even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be). Mike can send it back!

"If Republicans don’t want the humiliation of a former president their base adores facing potential prosecution, they should have chosen a president who wasn’t a lifelong crook."

This compelling statement by
@bariweiss
, said in the context of Donald Trump and her faith tradition (Judaism), expresses how I feel about Mr. Trump and my faith tradition (evangelical Christianity). You may disagree; but she articulates her views as well as mine quite well.
"...Dignity for all human beings, equality under the law, respect for dissent, love of truth. These are the things we are losing under this president, and no policy is worth that price." –

There's a lot of talk these days on the Christian right about "masculinity." Much of it is warped. So for now just a reminder that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Those are Christian virtues.

Just a reminder that the side that did this is the side Tucker Carlson, the most important figure at Fox News, was rooting for.

Trump's made the same criticism of black athletes, black journalists & black Members of Congress. He attacks their intelligence. His racist appeals aren't even disguised anymore. The closest figure in modern national politics to Trump? George Wallace. Trump now defines the GOP.

You mean like
@nytimes
, which broke the story about her private email server? Blaming the media is for losers.
Crooked Hillary Clinton is being protected by the media. She is not a talented person or politician. The dishonest media refuses to expose!

In this train wreck of an interview, Sarah Sanders said a lot of silly stuff. One of them is that what sets America "apart from every other country" is that we "value life." Really? No other country values life? We're "unique" in that regard? Nonsense.

Franklin Graham explains opposition to Trump as “almost demonic”, while Mr. Metaxas corrects him on the qualifier “almost”. This is the distorted, theologically deformed and ad hominem world they inhabit and promote; and which is doing so much to harm the Christian witness.
Franklin Graham calls anyone opposed to Trump "demonic"

This is my hometown, the place where I was born, raised and fell in love for the first time. At least 28 Chernihiv residents have died in Russian aerial bombing today.
