@laura-f Sorry Laura, but there will always be prayer in schools. "Please, Lord, let there be a substitute today." "Please, Lord, let me pass this test." "Please, Lord, get the teacher to postpone the test." "Please, Lord, let that cute boy look at me." etc.
Every day and in every classroom!
@allyn @jeanne-mayell Trump is down 20 points among white evangelical voters. Either his extraordinary crassness finally became too much, or they have given up on their Faustian deal with him to get more conservatives into judgeships. Any thoughts?
The thing about a Faustian bargain is that there is no exist clause, no take backs. You make your deal with the Devil, brother—he owns you.
So, when you cry in anguish over your regret—as every dealmaker in every such story inevitably does—he just smiles and picks his teeth and reminds you that you put those shackles around your very own neck.
Federal Judge does not think he can stop Bolton’s book from coming out
A federal judge expressed doubt Friday he could stop the upcoming publication of the book by former national security adviser John Bolton.
"The horse, as we used to say in Texas, seems to be out of the barn," Judge Royce Lamberth of the DC District Court, said during a hearing Friday. "It certainly looks difficult to me about what I can do about those books all over the country."

Don't believe the polls. Remember how the polls said Clinton would win.
I keep saying this, and I hate to be "that guy", but the Orange One and his minions will pull every dirty trick they can come up with to push it their way. We need to not get complacent.
Yes, but polls look at the popular vote which she did win. What's truly hopeful now is that the margins are much greater for Biden than they were for Hillary. Hang in there.
That's all well and good, but the popular vote means little when the EC is the final arbiter.
Barr and T are busy trying to shield T and company
Washington (CNN) - In a fast-escalating crisis Friday night, Attorney General William Barr tried to oust Geoffrey Berman, the powerful US attorney for the Southern District of New York who has investigated a number of associates of President Donald Trump, but Berman defied him by refusing to step down.
Berman response
"I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position, to which I was appointed by the Judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate," Berman said. "Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption."
The timing of the move, announced after 9 p.m. ET, immediately raised questions about the circumstances regarding Berman's departure.
Any forced ouster of Berman is likely to draw scrutiny inside the US attorney's office and among career prosecutors. He has been the US attorney for Manhattan since 2018, and under his leadership, his office prosecuted Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, is investigating top Trump confidante Rudy Giuliani and indicted the former New York mayor's associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.
