So far as I know, there is no reason to think that Trump believes in the prosperity gospel. He wants the people who do to follow him, but I would be surprised if he believes in anything at all (including religion, philosophy, physics, and other human beings).
Nugget is awesome! I’m glad the chickens also understand that.
0·10 days agoI have always admired John Carpenter for working in the opposite direction. He likes to show you a scene where you gradually realize that something is wrong. When you do, you get the same adrenaline jolt as from a jump scare. Or he will show you something terrifying that is going to happen, then make you wait while watching it arrive.
An awful lot of politicians want Trump gone, but none of them want to actually do anything about it. Congress has the power to impeach and remove him, but they all want the cabinet to invoke the 25th so they don’t have to take any responsibility. Any, of course, they know there’s no chance of this cabinet doing that anyway.
