Or the main news now how Trump is asking the Supreme Court of the United States to destroy the Affordable Care Act in the middle of a pandemic, also showing that Trump is either having a stroke or is a terrorist - who can tell?
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"

Terrorists wish that they could be as effective as this asshole. Shits on people who gave their lives to destroy us. All they had to do was wait. They could be sitting at home with their wife and children, alive, right now, enjoying the show.
From one enemy combatant to another, my heart goes out to the survivors of those who wasted their lives to do what we would do to ourselves. I wish that they had lived as fervently as I wish that he would die.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

A Russian spy unit secretly offered bounties to militants in Afghanistan for killing American troops, U.S. intelligence officials found. Trump and White House have known for months, but not authorized any response.

Trump knowingly allowed flawed COVID19 antibody tests to circulate, leading to inaccurate data about virus spread, creating data to support re-openings, and potentially causing thousands more preventable deaths.

I recently found this article from Daily Kos, and somehow, it put everything about Trump’s shitty response to the pandemic, from urging states to reopen while cases were still climbing, to asking to scale down testing, to this self-admitted germophobe’s (someone who, last year, asked someone who coughed during a press conference to leave the room) refusal to wear a mask during a pandemic:
Quote: In How to Get Rich, Trump links his own germaphobia to the idea that some people are born losers. Winners are people who think positively—and positivity repels germs. “To me, germs are just another kind of negativity.” He then goes on to tell the story of an unnamed acquaintance who is driven home from the hospital in an ambulance after being treated for injuries sustained in a crash. The ambulance crashes and he has to be taken back to the hospital: “Maybe he’s just a really unlucky guy. Or maybe he’s a loser. I know that sounds harsh, but let’s face it—some people are losers.” The train of thought here is typically meandering, but the logic is clear enough. Losers are inevitably doomed by their own negativity, of which germs are a physical form. Infection happens to some people because they are natural losers.
It also references this 2013 tweet about the recession to strengthen the case that Crises are just a Social Darwinist game to him.
And because Trump, in his own mind, thinks positively, he’s confident enough to not bother with a mask. And the 120,000 people who died because of his shitty response to the pandemic? If he’s willing to write off someone who died in an ambulance crash as a loser, what do you think he thinks of the faceless masses who died because he made the pandemic worse?

Well, of course he didn’t respond - he’s too busy protecting the statues of dead racists.
Priorities, man.

That one’s really weird. Why would he retweet that? I’m unclear as to how a video of people calling him a racist, bigoted Nazi is supposed to help his re-election.

Bolton had thoughts on that. Suggested that the only thing he noticed was that they were trump supporters. It's not that he was being a bigot booster, so much that he's an idiot. Though Bolton allows that both things can be simultaneously true and either is a rational interpretation.
