FWIW, I've always thought Trump, like Barr, looked like an amphibian trying to look human.

Far from draining the swamp, Trump wants to stock it full of creatures friendly to him. He wants to be the swamp master, a king of the amphibians. And if he isnt defeated, this is what well get.
Politics indeed makes for strange bedfellows and some say it has never been stranger. Republicans and Democrats fighting together to get rid of Trump the frog king isnt nearly as strange as those who support this fly-catching lump.
I know evangelicals who cannot stand Trump, but will vote for him. Im not the first one to ask why. Im sure not the first one to laugh at the incongruity of this allegiance. But I have to ask: If your faith is so important to you that you sacrifice common decency to vote for Donald Trump, then perhaps youre not faithful enough to your Christianity.
