Yeah. Some of us resisted the brainwashing, though. Not many. 

This is correct. Attendance has been declining for years and it’s accelerating.* Baptist churches are frantically “rebranding” and dropping the word “baptist” from their names because it’s been so tainted. And yes, hypocrisy is to blame.

Always be skeptical of people who claim to “not be racist.” If such people can’t at least admit to themselves the possibility that they might exhibit racist tendencies, they’ll never be able to address and avoid those tendencies. So yeah, they’re almost invariably racist.

He would get booed. Like he did at the ballpark. Neither Trump nor his pathetic coterie of handlers needs that showing up on Twitter. He will only appear before ... receptive audiences from here to the election. And by that I mean MAGAs who are being vetted before any appearance.

The swastika on their masks is probably a dead giveaway.

I’ve said it elsewhere, but it’s only a matter of time before we have a serious confrontation and people die. If you keep sending armed goon squads out to confront unarmed people, sooner or later somebody’s going to pull a trigger. Trump’s going to keep escalating this until we have a massacre.

He’s also dragging all the other Republicans down with him, and they’re starting to ghost Trump. Florida governor DeSantis, a Trump toady and bootlicker, is watching his poll numbers drop as he pushes the Trump nonsense and deaths and new coronavirus cases break records every. single. day. Same thing is happening in…

Best people. 

Yeah. Fox News is basically backing slowly away from the crazy man on the subway, looking around to see if anyone notices them edging away, and all the while keeping an eye on how far the train is from the next stop so they can jump off and pretend they were never on the subway at all.

It’s coming. A couple of weeks ago I felt like the desperation level of his “administration” was rising. This week it seems like they’ve just given up and quit trying to monitor or medicate him. “Fuck it, let him wander around saying whatever he wants. I need to send out resumes.”

It’s the second one. 

A friend posted this on another forum:

This. Racist Republican politicians are going all-in with Trump, because they think they’ll lose otherwise anyway (in other words, they’re grasping at straws). However, people who run businesses are looking at a post-Trump world and thinking, “Oh, shit, I need some daylight between me and these assholes or I’m fucked…

i mean, how do you have casinos go out of business?

“He could have taken this seriously”

“Racism has never failed me before. I just don’t understand ...”

I’ve said it before, but there is only one way to bankrupt a casino. You have to steal from it. You have to steal great, big heaping piles of money from the casino. You have to funnel huge amounts of cash into your other “endeavors.” And guess what? That’s what he did.

No, she never felt threatened. If she had, she would have run. She tried to use the police to punish a Black man who quite reasonably asked her to follow the rules (in Karen-speak, this is called being “uppity” and is a Karen-offense punishable by possible injury or death). It’s simply good fortune that Mr. Cooper…

I’d be willing to bet that kids have worn MAGA clothes to that school without repercussion.
