Religion *is* politics

And Rubio did not quit on the spot

No notes

Well, obviously the times are terrible

Hence the need for a resolution

The US and Iran have obviously not been at war for 47 years, as regime propagandists tell us. What has been going on for 47 years is the Saudi-Iranian regional proxy war. So the propaganda defines us as a Saudi proxy state.

two men in suits and ties are speaking into microphones ALT: two men in suits and ties are speaking into microphones

Whenever someone in the US talks about an election being stolen like it hasn’t happened here before I want to remind them about 2000

Some people are absolutely terrified that their children might spend a month identifying as something other than the sex, gender, species and religion they were assigned at birth

What do they think they have to fear from self-actualization?

Literally, a fate worse than death

Who can account for the success of falsehood?

Millions of people are directly interested in it

The ones digging into their savings are not the ones with record amounts

Imagine you’re defending the worst person Jeffrey Epstein knew

A billionaire playboy who never interviewed for a real job in his life, bankrupted six businesses and won the highest office twice with a reputation of being good at business

And what you do there is call someone a jughead?

That would be ideal but I will settle for damning the memory if it sinks his sycophants after him

I think he’s been told how many months he has

At some point during the Iraq war, Trump must have decided the only mistake was putting boots on the ground

He probably thinks he can keep ‘liberating’ Iran from afar like this until there’s a regime change he likes

And he can, but it’s not likely to work any better than Jehovah’s methods did

Meat’s back on the menu, boys!

One thing that was always obvious to me about President Obama, bombing people, was that he never did it because he wanted to

He did that because he thought he had to

Because our country insisted on it

Trump bombs people because he wants to

He insisted that he would stop

But I never believed him

Selected comments from Robert Green Ingersoll on the coronation of the last Russian Czar, Nicholas II

Nicholas’ father, Alexander III, was so strong, he used to tear decks of cards in half as a trick to amuse his children

Yet even he could not ensure that his son had a divine right to rule

Zero to do with religion?

The pretext for Israel’s aggression is explicitly religious

Its base of political support in the US is explicitly religious

Religion is the basis of the idea of ‘greater Israel’

Of course the conflict is about land and power

Those were the objects of religion all along

Jesus only appears in Act III of the Bible, it’s not like he’s the main character

Trump is named more times than Harry in Harry Potter

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

50 great new followers before breakfast, thank you!!

Whenever my dad & I discuss current events, he says he’d be anxious if he didn’t know how they all end

He means the Christian end times

He doesn’t sweat human suffering because he’s already priced in the maximum amount & his politics connect whatever dots make him feel good between here & there

Would his policies have been so different?

There would be no tariffs, but the deregulation, tax cuts and corporate cronyism would have been just as much if not more

The Tribune certainly got what it wanted from the endorsement

Sounds like a lazy, impulsive thing to say

If this was the Protestant reformation he’d burn the entire lgbt community at the stake

Just release them all now

Just release them all now

When I saw that Tennessee is going to try again to criminalize abortion and miscarriage, I thought of this quote I had just been working on from Ingersoll

Men who believe in hell also believe its gates were first opened by a woman

And many of them naturally feel it their duty to send women there

I get so annoyed at media reporting that someone fired defensive shots at a car

This narrative exploits the fantasy of gun owners who think they’re the main character

But a gun is no defense against an oncoming car

Shots fired at cars are never defensive

They are either aggressive or retaliatory

He means he intends to take rights away from anyone who wouldn’t fit in at his church

And that’s literally all he means

All the demons were there
