it is fascinating how american evangelicals have backfilled Christianity into being a machismo cult around a version of jesus who is closer to a god of war or at least like aggressive god of strength instead of like the "no no, i'm gonna save the souls of the people who unjustly killed me" guy

It is v funny how anytime one of them notices Evelyn Normielib is firing up something called the Woke Ion Cannon theyβ€˜ll dismiss him as a fear mongering beta cuck who needs to keep the faith they’ll be greeted as liberators

The president is reportedly mad at the slow pace at which his lackeys are jailing his political enemies www.wsj.com/politics/ pol...
This month, Trump has talked with allies about how he could appoint special counsels at the Justice Department because he is so frustrated with what he sees as the slow progress of its work, people familiar with the matter said.
Chief among his grievances is what he sees as Bondi's failure to quickly and effectively prosecute the investigators who had pursued him for years, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James, the officials and others familiar with his complaints said. Both criminal cases were dismissed in November by a judge who said the Trump aide who secured the indictment had been improperly appointed to her post. Trump has wanted to see the cases continue quickly.

Twitter must have realized that I need to leave and throttled my posts because ever since I took my account off private it's been crickets over there

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

it is obscene to treat the unfortunate but (as he himself pointed out) routine murder of this Nazi shithead who believed that Jewish gelt was corrupting the blood of white Americans like a national tragedy
