“evangelical leaders and parents also worried about covert indoctrination into the occult from children’s entertainment, such as the popular cartoon He-Man.”
As a small child in a conservative Central Valley town, I remember this specifically, and it was the reason my mom got rid of all my Masters of the Universe…
When I was in 7th-8th grade (early 90's) we had a new youth minister who insisted on showing our Lutheran confirmation class videos entitled “Hell’s Bells” about the evils of music stars like Whitney Houston. WHITNEY FREAKING HOUSTON!
One of my best friends in the early 90's had a fiancé who’s family is über-religious. (They’re married now, but it took 10 years of courting to seal the deal) They were so freaked out about Halloween that the three of them (Mom, Dad, and Daughter) would turn off all the lights in the house and cower in the back room…
My mother was all-in during the Satanic Panic of the mid-80s. She was a stay at home mom who had Trinity Broadcasting Network going all day. And she blindly followed whatever those televangelists were spouting.
Not if she dies.
Pack the fucking courts, full fucking stop. Not just SCOTUS, but the lower courts too. Let’s add four SCOTUS justices and 200+ judgeships to the lower courts (2 for each Obama appointee that was blocked by Mitch from 2015-2016). If Biden isn’t willing to, we primary him in 2024 and replace him with a candidate who…
Now there’s a cult member in the Supreme Court. Her cult, the People of Praise, must be very happy one of their own is a Supreme Court judge.
It makes me think we shouldn’t have a constitution that allows an impeached president who has both personal and presidential cases headed to the supreme court to stack the judges in his favor just before an election he has said he will contest, just because the senate is the same party.
And there it is. I hope everyone who didn’t vote for Hillary because of their stupid fucking principles sees what happens when you purity test yourself into oblivion. Oh? She didn’t inspire you? Maybe losing your health insurance will inspire you.
I don’t blame Democrats for not stopping this nomination, or for not doing a bunch of procedural shit or whatever to delay it....it was a foregone conclusion no matter what. But now, there is no coherent argument I can think of to not expand the court, except “Well, Democrats might not win the White House or the…
If voting white women voted like voting black women in 2016 this wouldn’t have been an issue. I am just going to sit over here with the African American women that went over 90% for Clinton in 2016. I expected better from white women (I’m never doing that again) because I definitely knew white men ain’t shit.
The car will be worth way more after the lease, sell it after and instead of 2 mil lease you get a mil back.
I don’t think he actually leased it, but your point is well made. I think there’s going to be a lot of guys in pretty bad shape once the music stops. It going to make guys like Doug and Hoovie look like geniuses since they’re diversifying their income.
Mr. Caputo said: “I’m in, Santa, if you’re in.”
I can’t even aim my backyard telescope at a star with any sort of precision, and they put a damn telescope on a 747 and aimed it at the moon. Madness.
“Covid 19 Public Health and Reopening America Public Service Announcements and Advertising Campaign” had a vision: to “defeat despair, inspire hope and achieve national recovery”
If they aren’t essential workers, I don’t know who is?.....I really can’t stand people. You do NOT need to sit on santa’s lab this christmas. Not essential.
“bare wires ‘insulated’ with metal-foil duct tape”
Call it what it is.... a decade time fuse.
speaking as an electrician, this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
Exactly. I’ve been an electrician for decades. The whole “you might have to modify the panel” is a bit dramatic, and in 99.9% of cases, simply not true. reality is that most will pull the panel cover, run a cable from the charger to panel, snap a 2 pole breaker in and land 3-4 wires. Not a job for a clueless beginner,…
