A Christian Resistance

Correction: MAGA/MAHA IS stupid. Willfully stupid. None of them would be able to pass a high school science class. This move is just one more example of their willful stupidity.

They're too busy trying to make all our food colorless & bland. 🙄

Yet MAGA is inextricably linked to anti-science chemophobes like RFK Jr.. who want to take relatively harmless dyes & additives out of our food but have no problem with this idiocy. 🙄

I was 10 yrs old when TNG premiered & Lt. Yar was immediately my favorite character.
I was devastated when she was killed off & exponentially thrilled every time Denise Crosby returned as a Special Guest Star.

The Pentagon can go suck rancid tamales.

Trump does not care about Ukrainian sovereignty or democracy. Trump does not frame this war as one between good vs evil, democrats vs autocrats, or the colonized vs the imperialists. He just wants the war to end so he can take credit. The details don't matter to him at all.

"... & brought together under his most gracious rule, who lives & reigns with you & the Holy Spirit, one God, now & forever. Amen."

Ancient Christian icon known as "Christ Pantocrator" (meaning "ruler of all"). This one is from Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. It shows Jesus as having somewhat dark (maybe olive?) skin, wavy dark hair & a dark beard. He is wearing blue & gold robes. In his left hand he's holding a book with a gold cover & bluish pages. With his right hand he is giving a blessing. There is a golden halo behind his head with a cross inside it. In the upper left hand & upper right hand corner are Greek letters which represent the name "Jesus Christ". image credit unknown

"Almighty & everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings & Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided & enslaved by sin, may be freed..."

I read "Menswear Guy" & automatically thought it would be about George Zimmer. Disappointed!

He never said that. You just think he did. Which is pretty sad, considering how easily you could correct yourself. If I were you, I'd be ashamed for posting something so stupid & would do my best to correct it asap.

Kamala Harris was NOT a "terrible candidate", but Eric Owens is a terrible person.

Trump literally is a cult leader. I'm disappointed but not at all surprised that they voted for trump again.

What absolutely infuriates me is the 90 million registered voters that chose to sit out the election. Even with early voting & mail-in ballots, they were too damn lazy to defend democracy.

We voted for her in the primary & the pledged delegates weren't messing around.

Obama hypocritically wouldn't endorse Harris right away because he "didn't want to put his finger on the scales" but he also pushed Biden to drop out & he wanted a chaotic open convention so someone would challenge her

Heck, I taught my daughter how to make mix tapes & she was born in 2002.

Scene from The Simpsons episode "Three Men & A Comic Book" in which Comic Book Guy says (what should've been his catchphrase), "Freaking kids."

All us Gen Xers:

"Christ is King in the most paradoxical way. The King of service. The King of humility. The King of picking up a cross & a towel. The King who was crucified."

Being against Zionism literally means you don't want Jewish people to have their own homeland. That's the epitome of antisemitism. If you want to protest an authoritarian government, that's fair. But hold a protest outside that government's embassy, not harass people at synagogues & private homes.

Political cartoon showing two people: a Black person in a yellow shirt & blue pants with an "I Voted 🇺🇸" sticker on their shirt. The other is a slack-jawed white hipster wearing a blue Bernie shirt, with a word balloon asking "Where did you get that cool sticker?"

We literally had huge wins across the country less than a month ago but I guess you were too busy to notice. If you whiny malcontents actually support candidates & show up to elections, we could win red states, or at least flip some swing states.

LOL @ Beto.

You guys yell "AIPAC" like the #CultOfTrump yells "DEI". If I was a gambling man, I'd bet you don't even know what those letters stand for.

People who live to shit on the DNC never seem to know what the DNC actually is.

If you think Democrats are the problem, you are the problem.

Democrats are literally the only people fighting for you but if you hate them so much, you might as well go join MAGA. I'm sure that will work out great for you. 🙄

I'm only 48 but thanks to PBS, William Hartnell was the first Doctor I ever saw, around age 13. Even in the late 80's-early 90's this opening still blew my mind.

The Minnow didn't "cruise more than 41.5 miles"... the weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed... what part of that is so hard to understand?

"Caesar is not the Lord. Christ is the Lord." Gold text on white background for Christ the King Sunday.

Sorry but I don't celebrate anything that interrupts Doctor Who.

Sprinkles are for winners.

A little lemon pepper makes shame more palatable.

I never thought trump had undergone a personality change. He's a 79- year old narcissist & sociopath with unchecked power. Anyone who thinks he could just suddenly change his personality is delusional.
