Trump sent a tweet, then deleted it, confessing that he too has spent time in hotel rooms with young women, yanking the mushroom.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Obama's vicious use of complete sentences has been declared an attack on the President.

Trump crime family
Quote:Nearly 700 economists, including seven Nobel winners, are warning against the reelection of President Trump, citing what they describe as a "sustained assault" on democracy, a bumbled response to the pandemic and the spread of "dangerous misinformation."

And? If you read enough economics research you'll find the vast majority of it takes a conclusion and either fits or invents the evidence to agree with it. For example the base "axioms" of the dominant neo-classical school of economics include "all economic ators act perfectly rationally all the time" and "all parties to an economic activity have perfect information about that activity". So their "theories" are based on situations that have never nor will ever exist.

Trump and conservatives are supposedly against what they call "big government", against government run healthcare, and yet they are for having their lives prescribed by the government
Quote:U.S. Signs Anti-Abortion Declaration With 32 Countries
The Trump Administration signed an anti-abortion declaration with 32 member states in the United Nations on Thursday, many of which are authoritarian regimes or seen as flawed democracies, a move which drastically reframes U.S. foreign policy ahead of the presidential election.
Apart from the United States, not one of those countries ranks higher than 95th on Georgetown University’s Women, Peace and Security Index.
Other signatories include Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and the Democratic Republic of Congo, all of which are classified as authoritarian regimes in The Economist’s 2019 Democracy Index.

They're against "big government" when it affect them.
They're happy to impose any number of restrictions on everyone else.
