4. Has Ben Affleck ever met an autistic person?

Having watched this, it appears to be one guy with a black lives matter sign and while I adore this man dearly - if she is going to let ONE person scare her away, she has no business leaving her house every morning to exist in society let alone have this job.

Fuck yeah! American Heroes All!

This shit is so dangerous. It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is…

Chaffetz seems particularly mad about a series of sarcastic Twitter posts the OGE’s official account sent to Trump in November, mock-congratulating him for deciding to divest himself from his businesses

It’s not merely satire, it directly addresses the disadvantage that atheists are faced with when it comes to first amendment rights in the United States.

In a world where unprovable religious beliefs are given precedence over facts and hard data, the best defense is to simply do what they do and make shit up to advance your political agenda.

They are absolutely atheists, but no one can prove it, and atheism isn’t a religion, so not protected by all of these freedom of religion bills. This is purely political, with the added benefit that it freaks out Christians - who are trying to force their religious beliefs on everyone else - in a way that atheists…

They actually kind of have to adopt the trappings of a religion to fight the way they do; a lot of Republicans like to pull out the “freedom of religion, not freedom from religion” card, and argue that Athiesism isn’t a religion, and therefore isn’t covered by religious liberty laws. So they pretend to be religious,…

Yeah I’m an atheist and I fully support these people. It sucks to have to use “religion” as a manipulation tool but I’m a fight fire with fire sort of person.

Well said. I’m also an atheist, but I may join the Satanic Temple, just for the hell of it.

Y’know, I am an atheist. I believe that most of TST folks are, too. So I want to get all criticizey on them and say “Hey, don’t use satire to try to make your point, just use honest argument”. But y’know what? Their shit works. And it seems like it’s often the only thing that does, particularly with this sort of…

He knows some people in Russia, terrific people...

He doesn’t just lack intellectual curiosity, he’s fucking lazy and unwilling to do any part of the job that he finds boring. He could literally get someone to read his daily briefings to him in their entirety, but he won’t even do that.

Part of being smart is knowing what you don’t know. He has no intellectual curiousity, none.

I was personally offended by that because my grandfather died when the submarine USS Enterprise was destroyed during the German attack on Pearl Harbor so people like Trump can live in a free country, and he can’t even be bothered to know the correct number of stripes on the flag.
