I was raised Unitarian, and although I haven't belonged to a congregation in the past 50 years, those values are embedded in my approach to life.

Similar. Raised by an authoritarian evangelical christian stepfather & a mother with a subversively simple approach to all these matters; her faith was honed while Bristol was bombed almost every night during her teens.

As a result, I now view all organized religion as a bureaucracy of spirituality forced harshly upon some very good ideas on how to live your life. I try my best to follow those ideals, while watching in horror as all these bureaucracies tear the world apart in the name of god.

My older sister, raised protestant in the US south, reminds me constantly the current state of the US is all about racism, making sure there's never another POC in the White House.

Oh, missed this news last Friday.

Appeals court denies Trump plea to review $5 million judgment in E. Jean Carroll abuse and defamation case

A federal appeals court on Friday rejected another attempt by President Donald Trump to review a $5 million judgment against him for sexually abusing and then defaming E. Jean Carroll.

A three-judge panel from the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Trump in December. Trump asked the full court to reconsider, but the court rejected the plea Friday. The president’s next stop, should he wish, would be the Supreme Court.

Carroll, a former magazine columnist, alleged that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York in the 1990s and then defamed her when he denied her claim, said she wasn’t his type and suggested she made up the story to boost sales of her book.

The jury found Trump liable for battery based on the sexual assault claim, that he should pay about $2 million in damages to Carroll for the civil battery claim and that he should pay her nearly $3 million in damages for successfully proving her defamation claim against him.

While the jury found that Trump sexually abused her, sufficient to hold him liable for battery, the jury did not find that Carroll proved he raped her.

Trump unable to hide his disbelieve that he put Kristi Noem in charge of anything.

Also, can you can't think of a better image that says "people must to do what I say, because I'm the Asshole in Chief King" than Trump wearing a GULF OF AMERICA cap?

Reporter: Do the tariff rates change at all on July 9th or do they change on August 1st? Trump: What are you talking about? Reporter: Tariff rates. Do they change on July 9th or August 1st? Trump: They're going to be tariffs. The tariffs are going to be the tariffs.

"The tariffs are going to be the tariffs."

Nothing wrong going on with Trump's brain, no sir.

America has elected him, America got him.
The mistake has been made.

473 days to go and the houses can be flipped and the baboon stopped for most part.
What one can do starting to day if one lives in the USA: Use every free moment to campaign for the blue candidates, especially if you live in red territory.
Otherwise hope and pray (that helped last times, right?)

I think you might be optimistic. The houses could be flipped but the democrats are mostly spineless and he has the courts rigged.

It doesn't need to be perfect after the midterms, but it has at least to signal a change IMHO.
Only grumbling at home would not be an option for me if this happened in my country, that is for sure.

Doing an effort to change things is no guarantee that things will change, but no effort at all put into it means no reward, that is for sure.

Trump diagnosed with vein condition, White House says

The president's press secretary says bruising on his hands is consistent with damage from frequent handshakes while taking aspirin.

US President Donald Trump is suffering from a chronic vein condition, the White House announced on Thursday, after days of speculation regarding photographs showing bruising on the president's hand.

After recently experiencing swelling in his legs, Trump underwent a "comprehensive exam" including a diagnostic vascular study, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Okay, everybody just watch the TV commercial fights than and accept the possible unfortunate outcome that red can continue to run the circus completely.
