That's my Bishop! So proud of her speaking truth to power. She certainly speaks for me and most parishioners of the diocese. Interesting that President Trump was in the congregation at President Carter 's funeral, but seemed not to realize how much of the praise levied on Carter's legacy was a direct contradiction to his own beliefs and actions.

Adam and Eve were the charter members of the Damaged Goods Club. The DGC is the most inclusive club in the world, rejecting no one. The Donald is a member, as is the bishop. When you call out, imitate the bishop and do it with love. And do your best not to accuse, but assess when you do call something someone is doing out.

Bluntly - don't attack, assess.

Finally, religion speaking the truth to his face. JD and Donold impassive, likely seething. It's a start.

Sadly, he walked out of the church and told to Press that the sermon had not been good. You can bet that he will never go back there.

Trump looked fat, tired, and bored. Tiffany was almost worse, looking around with a smirk on her face. The bishop, we now know, is the first hero of the tale, brave, tender, elegant, showing no fear from the orange one fidgeting in the front row. And I love that this first hero is a woman. Perfect.

God bless her. No pandering there. She is one brave lady. Looking at him, though, it's like he's sitting (God forgive me) on the toilet and having a bad time. And the wife has a sour puss on as well. Lord, give us strength. I continue to thank you so very much for sifting through this for us. Haven't put the news on yet, and just listened a bit to NPR. But tis going to be a long four years. Your cartoon made me smile though, which I needed today. Thanks so much.

Asking Trump to be merciful and compassionate is a bit like asking a lion to stop eating the body of a fawn it has just killed.

Trump: …another loser and sucker. She's not rich enough to tell me what to do….

Bravo Bishop Budde. Wonder if she will show up on Ka$h's hit list. I can just see trump's IRS going after the Episcopal church's charitable status because she, uh, refuses to endorse a political figure with the proper genuflecting.
