If you get a chance, pick up a copy of Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel.
It’s an absolutely fascinating, informative and eye-opening history and account of the church.

Well, first you have to believe that Mister Trump is a true follower of Christ.

Supreme means that the bag is topped with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream.

Oh god. This is going to be so much worse than the Reagan years, isn’t it.

Or Ruth, of course.

WE’RE! ALL! GONNA! DIE!

He’s not the only Republican just finding out what his job entails....

Yeah fuck all those people whose livelihoods depend on the studios putting out movies on a regular basis. What a bunch of assholes, wanting to have food for their kids and maybe go on a nice trip someday.

You don’t pay for stuff you’re stealing. It’s no different from walking into the supermarket and stuffing a steak down your shirt. You’re not making any grand statement against “big supermarket”; you’re compromising the ability of people to make a living and will ultimately hurt yourself when that supermarket closes…

I work in content licensing, so worrying about being a hypocrite always stops me from pirating digital content. That said, their argument reminds me of high-fashion brands and their pretense that every fake handbag sold = one real bag that totally would have been sold and they’re owed lost profits.

If you do racist or hateful shit like vote for…

Sorry, but I grew up in a solidly red county. A very affluent, conservative county in NY. I got the “perspective” of those Trump voters when I was bullied for being brown and being from a mixed family. Those same people are the ones who are now writing hateful, racist posts all over Facebook. I should not have to…

If they weren’t racist, sexist, cruel-spirited, or greedy themselves, they were willing to vote for somebody who clearly is. Obviously, those traits are not repugnant to them, and they see that sort of person as being a fine fit for the Presidency. That makes those people just as bad, and certainly complicit.

“Elie, Maimonides was all about unity, not division. You need to stop talking about the Holocaust, because you’re just splitting people apart.” Something like that?

Piers Morgan also had thoughts about Rep. Lewis that he just had to express. Thank goodness for white guys who have opinions about Rev. King that they’re willing to bestow upon us. It’s so strange that the MLK of their imagination always seems to be refusing to confront racism.
