Do you mean China Joe who refused to answer the question at the debate and elsewhere?
 
SCOTUS 2 vs POTUS 0.
OVER AND OUT MR PRESIDENT. PACK YOUR BAGS JUST AS YOUR FAMILY ARE ALREADY DOING.
 
So China got to them too… 🇨🇳
Within this eschatological view of politics, truth claims are no longer approached as facts to be adjudicated by applying old-fashioned rules of logic and evidence, but rather as tests of loyaltyspiritual loyalty. This produces, in the end, a kind of intellectual and spiritual blackmail: i.e. if you doubt or even question this specific truth claim, it must because you are not, in the end, a very good Christian.

I have already alluded to two of the troubling consequences of this error: Firstly, that it makes it impossible to investigate and evaluate facts , because the truth test is instead replaced with the loyalty test – i.e. the question to ask is not, “is this fact true,” but rather, “does it support our side ?” If the answer to the second question is “yes”, then the fact must be true.
 
We have a popular traditionalist / conservative priest publicly blogging that Joe Biden needs to repent of his “mortal sin” of stealing the election. Many well meaning people truly believe Trump’s propaganda. And they will believe it no matter what happens. It honestly shakes me… because I don’t want to side with the “liberals”. But I also can’t abandon reason.

You don’t have to abandon reason or side with anyone. Honesty is a lonely stance, but it’s immensely more rewarding than lies.
 
The Supreme court did the right thing. I say this as someone who voted for Trump, and have grave concerns about a Biden/Harris presidency.
 
This particular priest… who sincerely and publicly and truly believes Biden stole the election… I honestly admired him once upon a time. It shakes me that an intelligent and well meaning and highly educated Catholic priest in good standing can openly promote such insane conspiracy theories. It’s very disturbing

Trumpianity is a Weird Religion - OnePeterFive
Wow. It didn’t take OnePeterFive to leave the Trump bandwagon. But good on them.

I was just reading another thread where Lifesitenews, against Trumps calls to speed up the vaccination role out… were lauding an anti vaxxer (they cause autism) who doesn’t want it rolled out at all.

A stark case of when Trump isn’t serving their whims, his anti abortion stand means nothing to them.

Yeah I found that article shocking coming from them. But welcome none the less.
 
Just want to point out that the article linked in the original post has nothing to do with the lawsuit filed by Texas and rejected by SCOTUS.
