Welcome to the GOP latrine! They don't bother with digging a hole, anymore. Just put it on the ground.
 
WASHINGTON — A former Jan. 6 defendant who was arrested after he showed up at former President Barack Obama’s home in 2023 was convicted Tuesday of illegal possession of guns and ammunition.

Taylor Taranto, who was apprehended while he was livestreaming video near Obama’s house in Washington, D.C., was also found guilty of a false information and hoaxes charge related to a video he streamed a day earlier claiming he was on a “one-way mission” to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols ruled on the case following a bench trial that got underway last week.

Orthodox Christianity: Young US men joining 'masculine' Russian churches

A religion with traditions dating back centuries is attracting young American men.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Young US men are joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness'​



"A lot of people ask me: 'Father Moses, how can I increase my manliness to absurd levels?'"

In a YouTube video, external, a priest is championing a form of virile, unapologetic masculinity.

Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine.

There are other videos of Father Moses McPherson - a powerfully built father of five - weightlifting to the sound of heavy metal.

He was raised a Protestant and once worked as a roofer, but now serves as a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) in Georgetown, Texas, an offshoot of the mother church in Moscow.

ROCOR, a global network with headquarters in New York, has recently been expanding across parts of the US - mainly as a result of people converting from other faiths.

In the last six months, Father Moses has prepared 75 new followers for baptism in his church of the Mother of God, just north of Austin.

"When my wife and I converted 20 years ago we used to call Orthodoxy the best-kept secret, because people just didn't know what it was," he says.

"But in the past year-and-a-half our congregation has tripled in size."

With every fiber of my being, I have confidence this man has some fucked up stuff in his closet.

Maybe a more hierarchal religion than Catholicism and very anti-gay.

Yeah, it is absolutely a “I need a daddy” religion designed to inculcate people into acceptance of whatever bullshit comes out of daddies’ mouths.

Of course, implied. Putin has managed to brain wash an alarming percentage of right wingers in this country, hell, on this site, that Russian masculinity is peak masculinity. This, despite Russia having poor life satisfaction ratings, high alcoholism rates, and the highest known male suicide rate.

Misogyny and compensatory masculinity sells.
 
This, on the surface, sounds like a good idea. But how will trump's idiot manage it?

Yes, childhood health can probably be better with a better diet. But since this administration is doing the opposite for poor people, how will this work?

Will there be anything substantive or just more horseshit like we are used to from trump.

Remember when Michelle Obama championed this and the Right tried to set her on fire back in 2010? And then in 2018 *somebody* rolled it back?

Which sucks because this is one of many things that both parties should be able to agree upon and come together for the better of society.

One of the real tragedies to having RFK, Jr. and other loons in charge of our healthcare system is that there are definitely things that need to looking into and changing, but these are absolutely the worst people to be doing it. Instead of helping to improve the health of average Americans they're very likely going to make it worse, and perhaps in the process discredit any future attempts by more serious and credentialed (and sane) experts to try to reform and deal with our nation's healthcare issues.

This seems like a bunch of nothing.

We already know much of what he claims we need to study more about. We already know that ultra-processed foods are bad, that whole foods are good, etc.

We don’t need to suddenly sink a whole bunch of resources into studies about things we already know.

The issue is—and will remain—that whole foods are more expensive to grow, have shorter shelf lives, and take far more natural resources to produce and distribute than processed foods.

So unless RFK Jr intends to give money to poor people to buy better foods, and to enforce stricter government regulations in areas considered food deserts, this is all just claptrap.

Yes, we need to work to increase access, but this administration is doing the opposite of what is needed.
 
I expect the school administration, most of its teachers, the school superintendent, and the school board are as Trumplican as the rest of that county.

I was last in Fannin County in October. I’ve never seen so many Trump, Confederate Battle, and Don’t Tread on Me Flags in a lightly populated area.

I expect hardly anyone knew what the play was about - then they learned and objected to it.
