Seriously???

…
And I think she’s far more likely to be the Senator we need for this moment. Talarico seems to still think that playing nice with Congressional Republicans is the best way.

Talarico will likely win over more moderate voters, but IMO, Crockett, is more likely to stimulate higher voter turnout among liberals and progressives. And I think she’ll still win the votes of a great many from the middle who are fed up with Trump and MAGA.
…

One voter remarked that Talarico was more likely to attract evangelical voters - the same group that has consistently backed, and even worshiped Trump, and even now continue to defend his indefensible history and behavior.

Judaism teaches that there is only one god, and that theirs is the one. They also reject Jesus as a messiah, and Muhammad as prophet.

… but religions ARE all over the map on their theology and teachings. So I’d maintain that they cannot logically all be true.

You’re right. I grossly exaggerated on that. It’s mostly the Abrahamic ones who do that.

Certainly there are parallels in their origin stories, but Superman evolved over time, becoming far more powerful than the original character. He has also frequently been a savior of mankind. And he has died and been resurrected (many times).

Quick attempt at a beginning:

Oklahoma, where the fascists come sweepin' into town
The gestapo cops are really tops
As they toss the Constitution on the ground.

Oklahoma, Ev'ry morn my honey lamb and I
Sit at home and pray another day
That they’ll arrest some other guy.

I was briefly feeling pretty good about everything, but the Dow has dropped back below 50k.

So once again, I’m worried about everything, and upset about Epstein, ICE, Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, etc.

Hopefully the Dow will soon pop back up over 50k again, and all is again right with the world.

Any non-sociopathic president:

“We can help poor countries develop their economies, we can help them make their countries stronger. Because doing so is not only in their best interests, it’s also in ours. And it’s the right thing to do.”

Trump:

“I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country, I’m even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo. I can do anything I want…”
…

I would. Hard to say what MAGAs would do, but I can guarantee that if Trump’s name was replaced with Clinton, they’d unanimously vote to indict (and I’d STILL do so).

DOGE’s “Fraud, Waste, and Abuse” focus wasn’t about stopping those things. It was about looking for new opportunities.

Add it to the list.

And if you also guessed that he was an evangelical Christian, you’d also be right.

He claims that Christian values are Texas values, but as with most other evangelicals, rejects nearly everything Jesus taught.

And I’ve found no evidence that he ever said the 2nd part of your quote.

The first half of your quote wasn’t from Washington. It’s from the Treaty of Tripoli. While the treaty was negotiated during his administration, I’ve seen no evidence that he was involved in the language. Ultimately the treaty was approved by Adams, and ratified by the Senate without debate.

But the slide whistle is still ok, right?

Even aside from the political benefits of tuning out:
1) I’m overwhelmingly motivated to avoid the torture of listening to him.
2) We all know what he’s going to say anyway

Dems Double Down on Fundraising From SpaceX and Palantir Lobbyists Senate Democrats have joined their House counterparts in fundraising from the top lobbying firm for the Trump and Musk-tied companies.

Democrats
Can you please tell me why you don't get rid of these people?
American democracy is being attacked and undermined in so many fronts and the Corporate Dems behave exactly as the corrupt MAGAs.
So, why should I vote for your candidates if you're the same thing?

The U.S. Balance-of-Payments Deficit Is Essentially Zero | National Review It is not ‘large and serious,’ as the tariff power under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act requires.

True, but even if it wasn’t, could someone please explain the logic of taxing American citizens to address a Balance of Payments Deficit?

His ass needs to be fired, and the whole PD sued. Students are peacefully protesting fascism, and police response is … more fascism.

I’m ok if they attend. But if so, they need to:
1) invite Epstein victims/families as guests
2) Hold up signs saying “Release the full unredacted Epstein files”
3) Laugh uproariously at every Trump lie.
4) Boo loudly at every true but deplorable statement

Jared Moskowitz does not give a shit about risking American lives to carry out the war mongering wet dreams of Israel.

He has GOT TO GOOOO!!!

Also, I’ll remind you of one particular dick move by Jesus: the time he cursed a fig tree for not having fruit, even though it was out of season. This makes a great allegory for the fall of man. God created imperfect humans, and then cursed them for their imperfection.

But in answer to your question, I think Superman is probably better. Unlike Jesus, he saves people whether they like him or not, and he doesn’t demand worship.
…

… Have you met Jesus Christ? Or are you just assuming that stories written about him decades after his death, by members of his cult are all true?

Is he bringing ketchup?
