Kelsey Grammer sounded curt this morning when he brusquely told a BBC Today program interviewer that he still supports Donald Trump but, according to his interviewer, this curtness doesn’t tell the full story.

Grammer’s interviewer Justin Webb said the Frasier star was “perfectly happy” to go on talking about his support for the former POTUS, “the Paramount+ PR team, less so.”

Grammer has previously expressed support for Trump – a relatively rare position for a TV and movie star to take – and he also used his BBC interview to back Roseanne Barr, another self-confessed Trump supporter.

        It’s important to remember that they don’t believe this stuff because they are simply stupid, but they have a confirmation bias that many reasonable people would fall victim to.

        When you are successful and have the weird version of modesty where you are uncomfortable taking credit for your own work but somehow believe you are a personal beneficiary of “God’s Plan,” your faith will skyrocket.

        If you really believe in God and believe you are blessed, you’d be an asshole not praise them loudly and publicly.

        I’m an atheist myself, but I don’t think Christians who act this way are being crazy so much as consistent with their beliefs.

      I seem to remember that you’re fairly explicitly not supposed to use it like that. Because it’s akin to fortune telling or something which is supposed to be bad under the Bible, a broken clock and all that.

        No it is totally valid, people use fortune cookies the same way, if you look for these synchronicities you can have some weird predictions of the future or get a general Vibe for the way things are going. You aren’t supposed to take it too literally though.

          Well I mean it’s all somewhat arbitrary but technically, according to the Bible itself, no you’re not supposed to use it like that.
