Religion has been politicized for a long time. The televangelists of the 1980's and the Moral Majority with their support of Republicans jumped in with both feet, criticizing the left on religious grounds. Also, there are plenty of white Christians who voted Obama and then Hillary. Blaming Obama at this point is…

True. We are dividing up into tribes, rather than political parties.
This looks like Katrina all over again. The administration should bring Gen Honore out of retirement and put all resources at his disposal. Trump shows no interest in this evolving catastrophe. He doesn’t know history (unless it involves him directly) but someone should tell him Katrina was the turning of the tide…
You caused the poor little dude to have a meltdown. ;)
Don’t underestimate the effect of being relentlessly mocked, condescended to, and ignored for decades. I am as far as possible from a Trump voter, but I grew up in what is now a red state and I know how what it felt like. It’s not one joke about dead churchgoers. It’s a lifetime of automatically being treated like…
Not everyone who attends a church or is religious is an ignorant gun-toting flag waving homophobic Trump loving idiot. But making these assumptions, and taking the opportunity of a mass shooting to make a joke, well these people already had a punch in the gut and a joke might not be as educational as you think. And…
No, people whose first reaction to a mass shooting in a little southern church is to make the victims the butt of a joke, I don’t think those people are Trump voters. Unfortunately they are on “our side”. You think jokes are just how they deal with grief? Did they laugh it up here after Charlston too? I have white…
Sorry to be a spoil sport, but if your response to a mass shooting in a church in Tennessee is to joke about it, you’re part of the reason people voted for trump.
Someone who can, pls ungray ^
His grandfather was inclined to make joking remarks about foreigners and commoners that were borderline or over the line offensive, but I’m not sure I’d call it wit.
McCain gave a critically-important endorsement of W in his reelection campaign, and I can’t forget or forgive that. But he does good too. I’m on the left, and I respect him and am glad that Republicans chose him to represent them.
I didn’t say it is not a drug. I said it is not physiologically addictive. There’s a difference. OK with that? And btw I’m not a dude.
I’ll admit to occasionally enjoying a bougie iced double tall 2 pump no whip pumpkin spice latte, but you’re right, it’s not coffee ;)
I’m sorry to hear that. Is it possible you are mildly depressed, and treating it with coffee?
Caffeine is habit forming but not physiologically addictive. It is a mood altering chemical but if anyone consumes enough coffee to have negative effects (jitters, nausea, increased heart rate) they can and will back off. It’s no one business to say if or how much coffee is okay for someone else. I’m glad I get…
Jerks have been around making excuses for their behavior since the dawn of time. Your boyfriend’s problem isn’t coffee. And coffee can be made at home and drunk out of a mug. Excessive refuse is the result of a choice to buy expensive take out caffeinated beverages. Don’t blame the coffee bean!
It’s really a habit not an addiction. You can quit cold turkey and though you will suffer headaches for a few days and be a pain in the neck to others, you’ll suffer no real ill effects. But to your question, I waited until my mid twenties to have my first cup because as a kid I thought it looked/tasted vile. The…
At the time I felt the same way about his role in the election but have come to understand that misogyny and Hillary hating brainwashing with those constant “crooked Hillary” tweets and “lock her up” chants had already doomed us. As for his crimes, he should get whatever the going rate is for sexting teenagers.…
