Puzzled
Something I don't understand:
While I myself have no interest whatsoever in other people's sex lives those on the hard right, MAGA and such, seem obsessed with other people's sex lives. It's not normal, and it can't be healthy.
Why? What's the appeal? There are so many other, more interesting and far more important things in the world, especially if you're a Christian, as these folks aggressively claim to be.
Our Lord charged us to be good stewards of the Earth, to love and care for our neighbor - and, who is our neighbor? all people, especially the poor, the stranger, the sick.
No matter how often I read the Gospels, I never find Jesus telling his followers to poke their noses into other people's private lives. And I certainly don't find Him counseling us to condemn, quite the opposite.
There's so much to do in this beautiful world the Lord gave us, who has time to care whether, when or how anybody else performs the sex act? It's a head scratcher.

Will the Senate Continue Pushing Back on Trump's Absurdly Unqualified AG Pick - Matt Gaetz?
Earlier today I was pondering this very question. The conclusion I came to was that it's a long time from mid November to mid January - plenty of time for Trump to bully, intimidate and arm-twist. So, no, in my oppinion it is highly unlikely that the Senate Republicans who now are talking sensible and tough will actually hold that position come January. Sadly, someone a lot smarter and more experienced than myself, Glenn Kirschner, seems to have come to the same conclusion.
