Jesus is their savior, Trump is their candidate. Ex-president's backers say he shares faith, values
  • People will believe anything to avoid feeling chronically anxious and afraid, even things which are demonstrably untrue.

    People believe things when that belief is useful to them. There is a large overlap with "usefulness" and "accuracy," but usefulness always wins.

  • The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau Is Constitutional, After All
  • In case anyone wants to accuse you of cherry-picking, here's the whole dirty, subversive list:

    • Rooting out unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices by writing rules, supervising companies, and enforcing the law
    • Enforcing laws that outlaw discrimination in consumer finance
    • Taking consumer complaints
    • Enhancing financial education
    • Researching the consumer experience of using financial products
    • Monitoring financial markets for new risks to consumers
  • Jesus is their savior, Trump is their candidate. Ex-president's backers say he shares faith, values
  • "anyone can talk to god, you don't need all the ceremony"

    That's really close to why the Protestant Reformation happened, out of which all sorts of other lunacy has sprung. I'm not defending the Catholic Church by any means, but this particular criticism might not hit as hard as you intended it to.

  • Trump and Johnson spread unfounded fears by urging non-citizen voting ban
  • Put another way, there is a very strong incentive for undocumented people to be as law-abiding as possible.

    Specific to this “illegals voting” nonsense, if there had been enough undocumented people voting in a presidential election to impact the outcome, some of them would have been caught.

    So far as I am aware, there are zero cases of an undocumented person even attempting to vote. Anywhere, ever.

    [Popular Opinion] Dogs are great!

    For the sake of clarity, my opinion that dogs are great is not in any way meant to compare them to any other animals. I am not suggesting that other compainion animals are in any way "worse" than dogs.
