In my writing & speaking about Pentecostal-charismatic leaders around Trump, I'm often asked if Trump buys into any of these modern prophecies about him or is even aware of what they say.

I generally say: Yes, he's very aware & does seem to buy in at some level.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβ€”and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Brutality and lethality are just another day of being MAGA. It will be your legacy, 2nd administration lads. It will be what you are all remembered for, breaking arms. And Good and Pretti will never be forgotten either. What you did in Minnesota will haunt you all for as long as MAGA men live.
