By now many have seen the "two-minutes" version of Bishop Mariann Budde's fourteen-plus minute homily at Washington's National Cathedral yesterday. You know, the one where she spoke directly to President Donald Trump, pleading for mercy towards the LGBTQIA+ and the undocumented immigrant. She later explained further the intent to CNN's Erin Burnett.

First, there's the audacity of a godless man even showing up a day after he failed to even put his hand on the Bible when taking the oath; the man who hawked "Trump bibles" to fund his legal defense & campaign . I could go on, but that's covered ground.

I thought it worth the time today to hear Bishop Budde's entire sermon; it's certainly a lost message for Trump, but is there any hope for redemption in J.D. Vance and the rest of the GOP - and the overwhelmingly conservative-voting evanglical Christian movement in this country? I certainly have my doubts.

That being said, a flurry of "January 6th" pardons by the President did rankle even conservative columnists and radio hosts. There's a flicker of hope in the souls of some, it seems.

The recent passing of satirist/cartoonist Jules Feiffer reminded many of a cartoon he drew in 1974, fresh off 'Watergate." Eerie how it fits today, as well.

Lastly, Charlamagne Tha God had coarse words for those who are blasting Snoop Dogg, Nelly, et al, for taking checks to perform at the Trump Inaugural. He's not wrong to call out the double-standard.
