Disagree with it huh?

Disagree with it huh?

WTF is "it" huh?

 

[LeoBloom]

Vance is Catholic. I think it's more about what science says about trans and gay people. And just generally trying to recreate the High Middle Ages, which a shocking number of Catholic intellectuals these days think is a good idea. Personally, I like shitting in my bathroom, and even more not having to worry about getting feces dumped on me from above as I walk the street.

Good point.

I expect J.D. Vance is so damn mercenary that his “faith” is to show right-wing, fundamentalist Christians and Catholics that he is strongly a Christo-Nationalist.

Refreshing to hear

A feather boa is a deadly weapon in the hands of a trained soldier.

It was not a slam dunk case and filed days before the transition, so not surprising …

Maybe this belongs on the FAFO thread also?

Well, it is the Department of Defense and not Offense. That suggests a slightly different goal.

People were wearing red, so …

I see Trump wearing a red MAGA hat to a West Point commencement and can't decide whether to laugh or cry...laugh at the crude buffoon who is our president or cry because the rest of the world is laughing at us for being so stupid to elect this buffoon.

“
Since the 1980s Bruce Springsteen has been writing songs that emphasized, even romanticized, a polyglot vision of America and what it means to be an American. That vision is, broadly speaking, an updated version of New Deal America: one that recognizes not only the dignity and pride of honest labor but also the importance of respecting our differences, whether they are based on culture, gender, ethnicity or race. It’s a vision of unity summed up in the phrase that in past concert tours Mr. Springsteen has used to close out the show: “Nobody wins unless everybody wins.” And when Mr. Springsteen says “everybody,” he means everybody — including undocumented migrants and border patrol agents, unwed mothers, distant and irresponsible fathers, Black victims of police brutality and the cops who (regret) shooting them, emotionally scarred Vietnam vets and Southeast Asian war refugees trying to make America their new home.

The 1980s also saw the rise of an alternative vision of America: one that sought to tear down what was left of the New Deal. Its exemplar was Donald Trump, then a tacky developer and a tabloid fixture. It was based on the idea that could be summarized as: I win only if everybody else loses. Today Mr. Trump is president, and full of petty rage at Mr. Springsteen for daring to criticize him at the opening show on his current European tour. …”

Johnson might be the first person God ever excommunicates himself.

Seems like there have plenty of obvious candidates over the years and I’ve yet to see any of them excommunicated by a lightening bolt or other appropriate supernatural means.

Hope the guy doesn’t get bird flu or something.
