The Episcopal bishop who asked Trump et al to have compassion for and mercy on the vulnerable is the most consequential American in this century so far. She did something incredibly important.

Too bad nobody will pay any attention to her. The mainstream media won't even give her top story status. This country is broken.
@jacklaridian I predict the backlash may catapult the story into greater visibility. We'll see I guess, but the reaction is definitely a sign she hit on something deep.

Personally, I think him pulling away from Evangelicals on the abortion issue is going is going to hurt him with the 'truly evil' demographic of his base. We'll see how they tolerate his shit if he continues to ignore their agendas.
@jacklaridian Good point. Yeah, it will be interesting to observe.
@MargaretSefton @jacklaridian I'm curious to see which path the Supreme Court will take towards its final humiliation. Will they continue to do what he wants (e.g. change the meaning of the 14th amendment for him) or will they defend the Constitution only to see him ignore their orders and demonstrate their irrelevance?
This whole thing is a horrible social studies experiment conducted by the aliens who control the Matrix.
@MargaretSefton @jacklaridian Canada's final victory will be that William Gibson will be writing books about us, for ever.
@glauber @jacklaridian Maybe we should set up a betting pool. lols.
@glauber @jacklaridian In the case of betting on the behavior of the Supreme Court, I think the greater odds are that they will abandon the constitution. Maybe the 14th amendment won't be found to be originalist enough or something like that.
God! I tried to go to the official White House website to see if the rumors of him removing the Constitution were true and it's so much more garish than I imagined. Everything is in the LARGEST FONT POSSIBLE and there are odd extreme close-ups of Trump, JD and Melania. Weirdly, JD's wife gets a normal picture.
@jacklaridian @glauber I am amazed you did this. haha. I just can't. And the largest font possible! Poor Usha.

I have to look at it for work anyway this Friday, but if you compare it to Biden's version, it's very 'Trumpy'
