John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

It's nice to have conversations with like-minded users. Hate is such a powerful feeling. X is fueled with it. Why stay on a platform where you don't feel welcome? Blue sky is a wonderful app.

Apparently loyalty to Trump is not the only criteria. Also included: misogyny and abusing women, attested to by family members.

My spouse keeps one just like this in black. For me, not the dogs. 🤣

Remember: in the gospels, Jesus got the most upset with those who use religion as a tool of oppression and self serving power.
You don't see Jesus get upset with anyone for showing too much forgiveness, giving too much mercy, having too much generosity or loving others too much.
