Another thoughtful and insightful piece. Superbly written, as always, and shining with your usual razor-sharp wit. "… he was auditioning for the role of God’s clenched asshole." …Oh, man, did I ever laugh! Keep 'em coming, Mr. Shunn.
The lips of Christianity -- or many of its species, anyway -- are stitched to the ass of the GOP so that it's like the Human Centipede. They swallow endless loads of shit, unable to unlatch their lips from the Republican anus. (And should anyone object to the foul metaphor, the reality is even fouler.) There are certainly some Christians who haven't forgotten the basic teachings of Christ, those who walk the walk. But the rest are crawling, hands and kneels, mouth to rectum.
Sorry. I had no choice but to apply reciprocal tariffs. Your failure to wield your considerable influence on your "President" could have prevented all this. Carry on, Grasshopper.

D&D manual? LOL. Loved that.
It's a vivid metaphor, but accurate. It will take something traumatic to sever the suture.
Your Substack is my favorite. You never fail to nail your topic. Always an entertaining and perceptive read.
Thanks! I wish that kind Canadian complement didn’t incur a 25% tariff.

I know what you mean by “influence,” but I’m afraid I’m one of those rare Americans who doesn’t own one to wield.
