oh no
but seriously he did tweet it

maybe he removes it in meantime, but until he does:
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"

Surprised about the French. I thought they had more sense.
Macron's presidency is in as bad a shape as Drumpfuck's. Turns out trying to take away hard won worker's rights don't get you far in France (and don't go for the right wing bs that those right are hurting France's economy. They're a major & integral part of what turned a broken France into the world's fifth biggest economy in the decades after WW2).

Funny how wars seem to coincide with bad news for Trump. Like his lawyer, whose only client is Trump, is under criminal investigation and had everything ceased.

The airstrikes on Syrian targets are going to do a tremendous amount of good. Think of all the lives that will be spared in the 3-4 days it will take the Russians to re-stock Syria's chemical weapons facilities.
What a fucking dog-and-pony show.

Syria was a league of nation mandate to France at the end of WWI, and was effectively a French colony. Despite france’s fall from global to a strictly regional power, and the fact that French rule is hardly remembered with fondness in much of her former colonies, France never gave up the pretention that she continue to have special interests privileges in areas over which she had once been the colonial master.
You'd think the Algerians would have disabused them of that nonsense.

Just heard on the news this morning that more airstrikes may happen.
