Read today. 3 people you never trust.

1. A religious figure who tells you how to vote.
2. A politician who tells you how to pray
3. A draft dodger who tells you how to be patriotic.

On point.

'Believe me' is President Trump's most common two-word phrase.

Russia has a military draft. Is avoiding that unpatriotic given the war in Ukraine is immoral? William Calley and Benedict Arnold both served in the military.

And plenty of religious leaders don't directly tell you who to vote for, but tell you to vote for people who feed the poor or bring peace and in any election sadly that's often

Unfortunately distilling things into easy sound bites doesn't always reflect a complicated reality.
