He’s an artistic teenage boy that is good with makeup and clearly got bullied for not fitting into norms. I can see how Ellen would be someone he looks up to.

on or about her wedding day, if memory serves.

Oh, go fuck yourself, Joel Osteen, you piece-of-shit, non-Christian fuck. I have Joes in my unit who have NOT been activated, are on leave, and using their leave time to go to Houston on their own time-and-dime to assist in the recovery efforts. On their OWN time-and-dime.

Plus they were probably donated by other people, not his rich ass.

So in my community, there was a traveling homeless shelter—basically, local churches would house these guests for a few weeks out of the year.

I’ve been following this on Twitter, and the evolution is very interesting. First the church was flooded, and then it wasn’t flooded but it was nearly flooded and people couldn’t get there, and now he’s saying no one asked him to open the church. I would love to hear his explanation for why he blocked so many people…

Lisa Murkowski ran as an Independent against the GOP and Democrat candidates.

Am I the only one who thinks liberal commie California when I look at her pin (brooch?)

“You saw the massive crowd we had,” he said. “The people went crazy when I said, ‘What do you think of sheriff Joe?’ Or something to that effect.”

I’m a believer, but not an evangelist, so I’m not out here trying to convince people to believe in anything. I’ve personally had a very challenging year, so I definitely can’t argue - and never have - that simply having faith is enough. God technically never promises that faith means things will be perfect all the…

I bring this up whenever someone I know who’s mighty Christy says that they prayed and God helped them find their lost earring or whatever. Like why does Christ have time to “wash your car” with the rain so you don’t have to drive it to the car wash but not stop child rape?

I was raised Catholic, and I look at how much volunteer work my mother does for her church. She and about four other women single-handedly coordinate and implement 90% of that church’s charitable work. They’re volunteers. They get paid nothing. Yet her church brings in $45,000+ a week just through their collection…

I have a similar reaction when people humblebrag about how they were “blessed” with whatever good fortune came their way, from the major to the trivial. So you think God reached down and “blessed” you with a great weekend or a parking space or a new job or whatever while millions of people are suffering in the world?…

“We are prepared to shelter people once the cities and county shelters reach capacity. Lakewood will be a value to the community in the aftermath of this storm in helping our fellow citizens rebuild their lives.”

Here’s an idea: even if you want to say climate change isn’t settled science, maybe it’s not a bad idea to find alternative sources of energy when fossil fuels are held by people who hate America and when they’re a finite resource?

Of course not. They don’t see themselves as “working class” but as “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” who fully expect all that wealth to trickle down.

I live in St. Louis and open carry is legal. After Ferguson, there was an open carry rally put on by the tea partiers (obviously meant to intimidate). Some folks from North City showed up with THEIR firearms (and their melanin) and suddenly the open carry tea partiers weren’t that interested in holding that freedom…

Of course the cowards who showed up in Charlottesville last weekend didn’t stayed away from a city where open carry is illegal. They don’t care about the 1st Amendment; all they want to do is intimidate people.

Everything Bannon does is calculated, including that bizarre interview. I think a GOP civil war is exactly what Mr. Chaos wants. :/

That was my first thought as well; he can’t stand being criticized by women, and if the woman happens to to be one he deems unfuckable he fires back with both barrels.
