That is not remotely surprising, the ‘charismatics’ are a huge part of American fundamentalist Christian practice.

The Samuel L Jackson monologue is from a 70s Japanese Kung Fu film :rofl:

This is the equivalent of Kash doing a press conference about revealing long hidden info on UFOs because he just finished watching an episode of the X Files

Tbf, She should have known better; you don’t have to like her, but it’s completely wrong to involve her son in this.

I suspect that with Trump we are going to continue to see the rather large gap that exists between a judge’s ruling, and its enforcement.

It feels to me as though Congress needs to act or he will keep doing what he wants.

Beyond that, it will be the people who will act, but their main tool is under threat and the prospect of having free and fair elections in the future seems under threat. Let’s see on that one, once the midterms come around.

“The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project,” he adds.

New DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin threatens to pull Customs agents from US international airports in “sanctuary cities” such as Los Angeles (LAX) , New York (JFK/LGA/EWR), and Denver (DEN)
