Franklin Graham is a opportunistic tool not on speaking terms with the Prince of Peace. He's a greedy man who siphons off $720,000/year off just one of his "charities." To Franklin, "faith" is just a business. A nepo baby like Donald Trump, we wouldn't even know his name if he hadn't had a rich dad.

I think it would be good for democracy if more white Americans understood that a huge percentage of the white majority will choose destruction over liberty and justice for all. The GOPās power is rooted in that sadomasochist dynamic, which is to say the GOP would never succeed without it.
