“I’ve been very outspoken about this. It’s a sham – this whole climate change is a sham. First of all, God controls the climate because he controls the sun and the sun controls the weather, primarily.” – GOP Rep.

Instead of wearing a flag lapel pin, a trump Cabinet official is flaunting a gaudy gold pin emblazoned with trump's face.

I am driven by my emotions.
"Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."
"But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".
Just because it looks like a trade war, it behaves like a trade war and many experts are calling it a trade war, that doesn't mean #Trump and the rest of the elected #Republicans give a damn what it does to the citizens of the #USA. As long as the #RepublicanParty profits greatly, they'll call it anything #DearLeader wishes they call it.
Of course, it's a #Cult.
So the #JehovahsWitnesses are out in force to proselytise their #cult in #Ireland today.
Firstly, how do I contact them to ensure that these fools never knock on my door again?
Secondly, they accosted my daughter in the street and THAT is unacceptable. I phoned the Gardai and I suggest that everybody else does the same if it happens to them.
In case it wasn't immediately & abundantly obvious #TrumpVirus #Truth to some still in the #GQP #cult ...
The Toddler King - with some similarity to the tales of Caligula - believes his omnipotence and absolute power is divine, and the world is for his pleasure. Only.
For him, life is a 'reality TV' screenplay, by Sir.
It's not about leadership, #democracy, or We the People. It's the "Let's Make a Deal" show, with the Toddler King & his criminal org & #GQP #media
podcast di radio popolare, 9 apr.: paolo pezzino presenta “andare per i luoghi della resistenza”
https://www.radiopopolare.it/puntata/?ep=popolare-clip/clip_09_04_2025_16_33
“La resistenza italiana è un fenomeno articolato in cui gli storici odierni ricomprendono non solo l’azione dei partigiani e dei combattenti, degli internati militari italiani, dei deportati politici, ma anche quella dei tanti semplici cittadini che si opposero all’occupazione tedesca e al fascismo, a partire dalle donne, il cui decisivo contributo è stato a lungo misconosciuto. Dei numerosi episodi di coraggio civile si è tenuto conto nel tracciare questo itinerario che affianca ai già molto celebrati luoghi simbolo della lotta partigiana, altri meno noti ma il cui ricordo la rende vivida”, scrive Paolo Pezzino, autore del libro Andare per i luoghi della Resistenza (Ritrovare l’Italia), edito da Il Mulino. Al link l’intervista di Anna Bredice nella puntata di Cult di mercoledì 9 aprile.

This is so disgustingly disturbing.
What kind of "Christian" worship a con man who can't even read a page of the bible and understand it.

What does a religion need for you to accept it as your own? Should it go into depth of metaphysical concepts or simply give moral principles/laws that prove understandable/helpful to the everyman? What do you need to truly believe? What is most important in a potential faith to you?
Unsurprisingly, my pin is a Stealie,

The MAGAs have traded in their Ear Maxi Pads and adult diapers for the trad Mao & Lenin style.
'Trump's new loyalty test: "golden Trump bust lapel pins'

Do you appreciate #empathy? Could you imagine a #cult that is glorifying the lack of empathy and #compassion? Could you imagine a cult casting empathy as a 'parasitic plague'? This cult exists - in an incredible unholy alliance.

I was raised in a family of cults called Revival Centres that started in Melbourne and spread around the world.
