The Christian fanatics control the American government, and they will use that power to try to bring about "End Times".
Start wars, destabilize the middle east, etc.
Is anyone discussing how absurdly arrogant it is to think that you can socially engineer God into doing what YOU want, when you want??

Hostility to Europe is a central theme of the Trump regime’s recently released National Security Strategy. The main driver of that hostility is MAGA's fury at the nations of Europe for being excessively protective of civil liberties and insufficiently racist.

Good news. I think I've come up with a policy idea that can both eliminate the harm that Trump's trade war is doing to farmers AND also reduce the cost of groceries for regular Americans. (You'll never guess what it is.)
Farmers get a bail out in the face of the costs they've born from Trump's trade war. Quite an admission that his policies have hurt Americans.
Now riddle me this: Why not bail out consumers who are paying more for imported goods?
