The speed and ease with which so many 'Don't Tread on Me' folks have been converted into bootlickers is truly amazing.

or were too influenced by confirmation bias to care.

When faced with someone who knew how to handle his childish tactics, his lack of logical debate skills was exposed.

It's almost football season. That means the manliest of men are about to spend six months complaining that seeing an attractive blonde girl on the screen is taking away from their time seeing dudes in tight pants grabbing on each other.

As a kid, I lay in bed at night, terrified about it. I grew up in a Hellfire and brimstone Southern Baptist church, so this nonsense was preached to me every Sunday. They showed us kids all the idiotic A Thief in the Night movies, too.

There's More To Trump's 'Mission From God' Meme Than Meets The Eye Trump's latest Christian nationalist dog whistle is a dangerous call to arms

“God spared my life for a reason.” “I was saved by God to make America great again.” Ever since the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year, Trump has been echoing this kind of messianic rhetoric. But lately, he’s not just courting the idea that he’s chosen or anointed, he’s embracing it.

Texas bill to require Ten Commandments in public schools moves closer to governor's desk Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign the legislation. The state's move to require a Ten Commandments display follows similar laws in Louisiana and Arkansas.

Old writings by bronze age goat herders who didn't know where the sun went at night don't help kids in school. But I bet making sure poor kids get a good breakfast does. #notheocracy

Yep. Religion in government is okie dokie until little Johnny brings home a Baphomet coloring book he got at school.

How this wasn't a unanimous decision against the religious nonsense my state was trying to pull blows my mind. Section II-5 of the Oklahoma Constitution clearly prohibits this kind of theocratic rubbish.

And it's even more clearly stated in the Oklahoma Constitution. It is so clearly stated there that it blows my mind that this isn't a unanimous decision against this theocratic nonsense.

One of the most badass and underrated bands from the 80s. These cats still bring it and burned down the joint in Oklahoma City last night. #laguns @tracii.me @shawnduncan.bsky.social @acevonjohnson.bsky.social

Just when I thought this ignoramus couldn't be more ignorant, she says this.

Two things I learned today:
1. Trump can't see obvious edits to photos.
2. Lots of people don't know that the word Photoshop is a proper noun.

If you want to see how much of an ignoramus Trump is, watch the interview where he tries to argue that MS13 was tattooed on Abrego Garcia's knuckles and not edited onto a photo attempting to identify other tattoos as symbols for MS13. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8joVQjo/

If you say that someone who has been accused of a crime doesn't deserve due process, you are too ignorant about due process to be talking about it.

If your Education Secretary thinks AI is a steak sauce, you might have picked the wrong person.

It's too bad the Constitution doesn't grant the power to impose tariffs to Congress instead of putting it in the hands of one person.

Oh, wait, never mind.

I was interested in this, but it didn't just focus on the town deciding to eliminate an evil-doer and that was a bit of a letdown. A lot of bad things happened in this town and the last crime it dealt with could have been another documentary by itself.
