Same God, chief. Both religions explicitly pray to the God of Abraham. Probably wanna learn some basic facts about your own religion before you get too buckwild telling people you don’t know basic stuff like “Allah is ‘God’ in Arabic.”

For the sanctity of marriage.

“I’m really gonna stick it to those people. If I get sick, I’m gonna go into absolutely devastating debt and be a massive burden. Or maybe I’ll just die uncomfortably and unnecessarily to prove a point. That’ll show them.”

Jesus Christ, I’ve never wanted to send someone a spring-loaded box of stinging ants so badly as I did after reading that. That was well done.

We’re all pretty sure he made that initial comment because he was looking at an unlabeled map and thought Georgia or South Carolina was Alabama, right? Like, he has U.S. Geography knowledge on par with that of a Danish molly dealer?

I think the big difference is that Republicans, by and large, will fall in line. They’re full of big talk about personal freedom and anti-authoritarianism and shit when it’s not someone they think of as one of them - these are the same people who voted to give W. sweeping, unchecked powers to get brown people under…

No, see, this is just them maintaining order in the face of the national emergency of potentially losing an election to an opposition party. Freedom isn’t free, and sometimes the cost of all this freedom and prosperity is that we have to give up our freedom and trust our betters. /s

Russians are classic bad guys, and all most people who are in their likely audience know about Venezuela is that it’s in rough shape overall and their government dislikes us.

“Russia, a country run by ultranationalist, right-wing oligarchs, have given a very expensive and valuable nuclear weapon to a bereft socialist country that’s been teetering on the brink of collapse for several years and has just enough military and police apparatus to hold itself together. Not even a Cuban Missile…

I’m in NC, and we have transplants who move down here and want to get all into being Confederate and whatnot. I can’t think why Dave from Pennsylvania/Indiana/Upstate NY thinks we just have to keep that shitty statue of nobody in particular up by the legislature building, besides the obvious. But hot damn does he feel…

Which people? They’re on course for that cliff right now, and Johnson’s been leaning into the accelerator. If they’re not able to get an extension, they’re not worse off than they are with Johnson at the wheel, except that they’ll have a government in place that doesn’t see national self-immolation as a long-term…

Making racist comments is a thing racists do, so...

That . . . seems about right for him, actually. He paid a bunch of money for a ridiculous item that he used for a stupid purpose, which he could have accomplished for a fraction of the money, effort, or danger to others.

“He’s drunk!” - He’s in his own house.

I had a moment where I was like “Is he acknowledging that he said a bunch of really awful stuff, and saying he’s going to stop? That’d be a nice step toward being less of a monster.”

I feel like I remember a few years ago, when Nixon’s (secret) version of this kind of list was considered a horrifying sign of his authoritarian tendencies, and the idea of a list like this in the hands of the intelligence agencies was so deeply uncomfortable that nobody even wanted to talk about, even though we were…

If I wasn’t very sure they probably have an arbitration clause on every employee (thanks, federal judges looking to minimize caseload!), it’d probably be worth pointing out that there’s a duties test for exemption from overtime, and that they’d be on the hook for a ton of owed pay to employees.

It sounds like, in theory, they’re entitled to a Rep under treaty and to whoever their Rep would be based on district of residence? That seems like it would make sense. Then again, the laws weren’t written with Native American rights in mind - they didn’t intend to ever honor this treaty, much less anticipate people…

Cherokee Nation in OK getting a Representative is an excellent “fuck you” to Jackson and his little acolytes. Hopefully, that hateful old turd is rolling in his grave.

I was gonna say, we here in North Carolina are the national leaders in vote suppression, and we don’t need North Dakota getting any big ideas. /s
