Beyond their abilities. This is the group that says we can sin over and over because that's the way it works, until you're one of those evil leftist Democrats. By the way, folks, this is who you get when your elections have low turnout to vote.
Hamas and Bibi can both go to hell. What you should be thinking about are the ordinary people caught in the middle. And how Trump would only make this worse for everyone.
Total effin insanity. Do they stop for one effin second to understand that if they get Trump back in, he'll totally send even more of whatever Netanyahu, trying to also save his own sorry ass, is getting already? And that after all we've given and done for him, his one thing coming here to talk to the Christofascist House is how Biden didn't send him one shipment. Trump gets in and he'll do his best to take away all that public protesting they're doing and probably make sure Palestine gets wiped off the map and turned over to Israel to settle the heck out of it.
Absolutely. Ignorant people blaming Biden for Netanyahu need to read a bit of history. And know that if trump wins (legitimately or otherwise) he will help Bibi complete the mission he’s been on for years.
A giant, giant, giant frustration. And if you go "out into the world of comments here and there" where you find these people, their trying to trash what your researched, source and fact-filled observation is a boiling cauldron of stupidity, like "you're so brainwashed" and degrades from there. They have nothing but insults with not a damned thing to back it up except the MAGAbrain line on that.
You're right on the edge of being obtuse. Okay, whose nightmares are whose sweet dreams. I feel like I've got to be very sure what you're saying and who you are calling the bad guys and good guys.
So, you're just dandy with Bibi the Butcher killing untold thousands of women and children noncombatants because they're PALESTINIAN?
Who died and gave YOU the power over Life and Death?
At last count, Netanyahu has killed over 37,500 people, and sentenced 120 more hostages to death by refusing to come to the peace table. That's 31.58 times the number of people Hamas killed on October 7th—this has gone far beyond retaliation and into genocide, which is why Rep. Tlaib, a Palestinian herself, is objecting to Biden waving his hands ineffectually and whispering "No...stop....".
Well, Ken Rozov seems all too happy to blame every Palestinian he knows of for Hamas's attack, and completely ignoring Netanyahu's excessive response—that seems pretty MAGAt-y to me!
You believe Hamas' numbers which are total b.s. These are guys who played catch with women's severed breasts. You think they wouldn't lie about civilian casualties! Are you gullable, stupid or just plain antisemetic?
It has been long since proven that Israels or the IDF lied about the 40 babies with severed heads. They lied because they needed it to sound even more horrific than it actually was. It was horrible on it’s own, they didn’t need to lie about it, but they did.
You should listen to the podcast on Chris Hayes’ “Why is This Happening” where he interviews a Jewish woman, married to a Palestinian man, living in the West Bank. She describes how she & her daughter are treated when she needs to go into Israel for any reason; & this was before Oct 7 happened. It’s very eye opening
What idiots like you don’t seem to get, is that just because we give a damn about innocent people by the thousands, including tiny children, being slaughtered, does NOT in any way mean that we condone Hamas or put Hamas before Americans.
Anyone who cannot see that doesn’t have an ounce of empathy in their hearts.
Nah. Look what Trump does on Sunday and he said it himself that he’s never ever sinned or needs forgiveness. Nope. Can’t. Do. That. He’s a liar and call it what you will but he’s the first to get by with that! Evangelicals don’t accept that or they didn’t but he’s playing to his own crowed.
The Catholic Church in here in San Diego has declared bankruptcy from paying all the sexual assault lawsuits they've had, unfortunately none of the commandments is 'Thou shall not molest and groom children'...and how a church,that claims not to be a 'business',declare 'bankruptcy',beats the hell outta me.
I will only remind you that the molestation of children is not the purview of ONLY the Catholic church. It is rampant, insofar as I can tell, across ALL denominations, and regularly hidden across ALL denominations. I think we tend to focus on the Catholics because their priests are also sworn to celibacy.
Jeff, I don't want to inhibit you from making cracks about fainting, but there was not a single POC at that bill signing, so I don't think anyone was malnourished.
I have a non-threatening medical conditioned that makes fainting quite a big part of my life. The brain cannot store either sugar or oxygen and the lack of either causes fainting.
To me, it is obvious that the girl's faint came from a lack of oxygen. Locking the knees while standing inhibits the return of blood to the brain. Soldiers are warned against that practice. The faint began when she raised her hands to clap which is a small physical effort that would further deplete the available oxygen in her bloodstream.
I basically never faint these days, because when I sit up, I have learned to monitor the state of my brain until it has adjusted to the upright position. It is a subtle feeling, but clear enough to me. The trouble comes when the doorbell rings and I jump up without going through the protocol.
Yes, I also fainted while in a band and standing with locked knees. Luckily the trumpet player beside me was also a doctor and caught me before I hit the floor, told me what to do, etc. And just one small caution: There are a lot of poor whites in the south and other states, although I doubt they would be invited to stand behind the governor as he signed that bill.
Imagine, thinking that ONLY POC are victims of malnutrition. This took place in Louisiana, where 24.4% of children OF ALL COLORS live at the poverty level. This means that one out of every four children shown in the video may well have been malnourished. Subsistence hunting is almost the norm. I've lived there, and have seen it first hand.
Thanks for these further accurate details. However, I don't think any impoverished children are going to end up behind the governor at a signing ceremony. Indeed, I couldn't find a single POC in the video.
True. Just as you won't find but possibly three POC in the black church where Trump held a rally. Nor a single woman on Republican committees about women's health.
Not at all true — I provided context on fainting which is obviously something Jeff is not perfectly familiar with. Everyone should welcome a full picture of the topics they discuss. Fainting from lack of calories could be true if she was anorexic, but it doesn't look to me like she is.
MAGA makes a living by making uninformed statements—should we? If I make a joke, and someone is able to clarify that my premise was faulty, I have no problem with that whatsoever.
This is the cherry on top of the sundae: "I’m going to go out on a limb here and postulate that it’s not Joe Biden’s fault that this clueless loser is an unfuckable incel."
Yes TFG has broken every commandment except one. But remember, he did want protesters shot in the legs. And with the inevitable complications one or more could easily have died. So no, he doesn’t get a pass on that one either.
1. The hundreds of thousands of his cultists who died needlessly when there was a vaccine available
2. The poor kid in Niger who died because TFG sent US Marines (and paid mercenaries) into a completely unstable hotspot of interest only to the Kremlin, and then, because it was led by paid mercenaries, they left the kid to be ambushed and killed (as opposed to Marines, whose policiy is "no man left behind"), and then of course told his grieving mother "hey, he knew what he was getting into"
3. Let's all consider what's REALLY on the videotape that Putin has on him (and there's a reason they rushed to pretend it was something fairly harmless like peepee).
me three and looks like alot more are in the same boat kept afloat by a few guffaws at the gaffes and spectacle seeking autocrats. I had to laugh at the need for a drink of paint thinner. OMG. And the best coinng of 'Aunt Lydia Barrett'. Another OMG. Margaret Atwood would laugh at your ironic word twist. She's a master at irony. She wrote the Handmaid's Tale when Reagan won the presidency in 1980, when the Moral Majority went mass media, she imagined what a theocracy would be like, culling examples of real things that have happened before in various cultures and histories of the world. None of the cruel impositions she portrayed on human freedom were fictional, only the storytelling.
I’m exhausted from the sheer audacity of these people. Maybe it’s the heat, I dunno. There’s a rumor that handmaiden Amy might be rethinking her Uber conservative approach. Probably just a rumor. But at any rate, “drinking paint thinner straight from the can” has set the tone for MY day! 😂😂😂 I love it.
She didn't appreciate the man in the Idaho EMTALA case treating her like an idiot. Also, she didn't like the casual way he implied it didn't matter if the women didn't get proper medical care and died.
Welcome to NM, I’m from Ruidoso, the town to the south of Santa Fe that just nearly burned down. I’m loading up the 7 dogs I fled with & heading home tomorrow morning. My house didn’t get burned!!
(Should Boebert be talking about adultery? Well, she is a practitioner)
Those posters, if teenagers are like they were when I was in high school, will be covered in graffiti (especially dicks) in short order, maybe even some "Question Authority" stickers.
Waiting for the Church of Satan to enter the chat.
That's like wannabe emperor anus lips talking about adultery and then you throw in Bobo rub a pud into the mix, you got hypocrisy for the defeat. These despicable turds have flushed the separation of church and state down the shitter and have the audacity to preach what they don't and won't practice. When you see the orange talking turd praising the 10 Commandments, that pretty much says it all.
We’re definitely in a new age whereby the media is all giddy handing the microphone to these monsters who insult us with their blatant hypocrisy and then wonder how they became so powerful. When Donald the Klepto got media attention and then endless coverage for his birther claims he learned right then and there he could do anything and no one would stop him.
Republicans don't have to spend money on campaigns,they get free 24/7 coverage from mainstream media. That smirk Lara Trump has on her face on appearances?? The money's going to lawyers,and then in their pockets,down-ballot candidates?? Ha!! Take a number...losers, dictators don't share.
Oh yes, she has a massive botox addiction. You can use all those things well and not look like a monster. Like Kimberly Gargoyle her lips remind me of a Sea monster’s maw…just before it opens up and swallows you. Not good when you look like one of the animations from Pink Floyd’s movie “The Wall”.
Jeff Christofascist Landry is going to have a tough time laying that BS all over New Orleans, as he is desperately trying to do. Love the wave across the Internet making extreme fun of him, State 47th in education some say ought to be posting ABCs instead and that he's posting every single commandment Trump has broken over and over and over and over again. We've got to get past this hideous fever.
"Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure." -- George Carlin
The criminal AG of Texass Paxton is pissed that Landry beat him to it. The poor girl who passed out is a sign from God, Landry. Some people think that Louisiana would be better served with something else due to being 48th in graduation and dead last (50th) in quality of life. Quality of life is what the people of Louisiana want, not religion pushed down their throats for political purposes.
Agree that bad theatre is the MO of these malicious God Botherers, but I don’t think this was orchestrated. That child had a haunted, grey skinned, gone absent look of the abused.
Gosh. Was not offended. You are quite right to point out their manipulative fakery and it was taking place in the forefront as that poor child collapsed. Shocking that these self identifying ‘caring’ Xtians chose to ignore her and carried on grandstanding instead 🐈⬛
I have a condition that causes me to pass out if I stand for 10-20 minutes. It’s called Neurally Mediated Hypotension (NMH) and is a form of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome(POTS). When J’ve been standing for a while, suddenly my systolic will plummet, then my heart races to get blood up to my head. When that doesn’t work, my body gets me down on the ground as fast as it can - I faint. It’s been happening since I was 14. There is treatment, tho I still keep an eye on my pulse when standing a long time or in the heat. If the girl does this a second time, she needs to see a doctor (one who knows about it).
Don’t you love turning down aid for the suffering? Remember the Tom Cotton complaint about poor people who have iPhones? Well, “Let them eat cake” is no longer appropriate. In the “I don’t vote yes for assistance unless it’s underwritten by bribes” GOP, the message issuing from the black window Expeditions rolling past the trailer parks is “Let them dumpster dive.”
The gentleman is wrong about only two, and that's because "Thou shalt not bear false witness" has a direct correlation in perjury laws, because that's pretty much what it's been interpreted as meaning. Do not lie in a judicial proceeding.
AS for the shitheads who say "We're pro-life!!", I really wish someone in the news media would grow the balls to ask, "If you're so prolife why are you willing to let children starve? Why won't you accept the money from the Federal Government for the SEBT program? I mean, since you're so prolife and all?"
Of course the stupid answer is "We don't want their parents to become reliant on the government." Which of course should only be followed by "Which government and why? The State government who they rely on for things like education, roads, school bus transportation, and all the other things provided by state funding? Or the Federal government? And if the latter, why not? Is the state afraid of the competition?"
I'm so sick of these phony Christians, I'm at the point of wanting to simply punch each and every one of them in their smug, self-righteous faces.
They get away with this horseshit because basic civics isn't taught anymore. We all need to set the record straight.(Loudly and rudely, if necessary) Hey God botherers! Go find an island somewhere where you can practice your fucked up beliefs and superstitions and leave the rest of us alone. Forcing your medieval bullshit down our throats won't go well for you.😡😡😡
I still say we should deed them the tip of Texas, centrally located, up against Mexico. Let them have their Theocracy, but make them build it from scratch, no military bases, or petroleum reserves. Then wall it off and let the criminals duke it out, sort of like the old movie "escape from new york"
"just add it to the ever-growing christofascist shopping list, along with a national abortion ban, the outlawing of birth control, the end of divorce, and on and on…"
They WILL come after womens’ right to vote, next will be education, then what? The right to drive a car? Own property? Have your own money? If you can’t own your own body, as the Dobbs decision has already enshrined, then what can you own?
Have you seen the photos of women in Iran before the ayatollahs? Didn’t Margaret Atwood say that The Handmaid’s Tale is supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a handbook?
Like the meme says, Republicans want the legal right to kill women. They certainly want to own them.
Those women are just like the women here who vote Republican, are pro forced birth, support prison or the death penalty for women who get abortions, & join groups like Moms For Liberty & Libs of TikTok. They are voting for their own subjugation & taking the rest of us with them.
Christofascism aside. How has trump, (lowercase “t” on purpose, because fuck him that’s why) not choked on a godamned chicken McNugget yet? FFS I’ve lost everyone in my family before the age of 73 and this maggot infested shitbag is still walking and talking? I mean, FUCK! No seriously FuCk!!!!
First, I'm very sorry about your losses -- that's sad and utterly unfair.
I have a theory about scump: He's the equivalent of a major cardiac event that forces a person to re-evaluate AND CHANGE their habits. The US has been screwing around for far too long, giving lip service to notions of equality without implementing it truly and across the board. In a cosmic sense, that's why he' still alive. (Rationally it's bc his family has genes that protect them from lots of ill health.)
But now the US is facing even more and even bigger stressors, in the form of fallout from 40+ years of ruinous, only-the-rich-win economic policies AND the destruction from the climate crisis. Are we going to act, or perish? It pains me to know that, even if we act, we're going to get a lot worse before we get better at all -- but at least scump et al. have finally opened the eyes of some who were previously blase or apathetic or too hedonistic to care. Democracy is hanging by a thread; having a habitable planet is no longer a given. Act or perish.
PS: I too refuse to cap the initial letter of the surname of those who deserve no respect, such as certain "justices" (hahahahahaha) on the SC.
A token of good news about the U.S. carbon dioxide consumption. The percentage has decreased 20% since 2005 (source NPR). In 2023 the decrease was 2.7%. Not enough to hit targets so just one more reason in a thousand to keep Dems in office.
Ok, if you want your kids to have religion, take them to church, synagogue! Mosque, whatever. The Ten Commandments are original Jewish laws. Only two commandments came from Jesus: love your neighbors as yourself, and treat other people as you want to be treated. In sum, be kind and loving. It’s impossible to be kind when you’re pious, and keeping food and medicine from people who need it. Another thing Jesus said: “Feed My People”. They can’t legislate being kind, and obviously can’t practice that themselves. These basically good commandments are found in all major religions and cultures. Be a nice person, and vote for Biden so we don’t have cruel king FF as our master.
The fainting girl brought back memories. I fainted in church several times mainly due to the stultifying bullshit in the air. When I was 15, I finally said enough, not going to church anymore. Ugh. Religious zealots are such a scourge.
Per Snopes, Gandhi probably didn't say something often attributed to him: "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
But fear not, bc according to Gizmodo, "A similar quote appears to be from an Indian philosopher named Bara Dada, brother of Rabindranath Tagore. The full quote from Dada appears to be from the mid-1920s: 'Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him.' "
The late Alice Miler (a world-renowned psychoanalyst who wrote about common, less-overt forms of parental abuse -- psychological abuse that was consciously unintentional but was no less debilitating for that) wrote that "Honor thy father and thy mother" wouldn't be necessary if our parents treated us the way we deserve to be treated -- with compassion, respect, understanding, tenderness, empathy, etc. -- because we would naturally treat our parent as they have treated us. We would know no other way.
I'm not dissing people's parents, who are doing the best they can, nor was she; she was underscoring that we can't teach our children what we don't know, and that dysfunction travels down the generations whether it's overt (physical and/or sexual violence) or less-overt (belittlement, bullying, etc.). When people like Landry and Bobblehead support posting the commandments, they unintentionally give us a snapshot of the screwed-up authoritarian homes they grew up in. 'Course, all of their actions give us that snapshot, but I'm just saying...
Not in all cases. There are resources available for home-schooling. My daughter and her husband (both PhD's) home-schooled my grandchildren because they did not want them going to NC Christofascist public schools! Both grandchildren are college-educated and earning decent salaries.
Did you see the xtian home schoolers, that sent their daughter to a public school? They realized how little they actually knew when they tried to help her with her second grade homework! So they are learning about the world along with her.
Back in the old days. just over 100 years ago, when child labor was absolutely necessary for family survival, the commandment, “honor your father and mother" made a great deal of sense. Even today, I am well aware of many families where the parents are expected to run a hotel that caters to the preferences of the children. Children do need to be taught to see the family as a community that works together for the happiness and welfare of all.
There's also the passage that says "parent's don't provoke your children." I think there is an attempt in the bible to help us balance our lives and be productive, serve each other, yada,yada. But this pick and choose that they market is meaningless and dangerous.
I just broke the Fifth Commandment by writing sixteen hundred words on Sunday
christofascists could benefit from similar self reflection
Beyond their abilities. This is the group that says we can sin over and over because that's the way it works, until you're one of those evil leftist Democrats. By the way, folks, this is who you get when your elections have low turnout to vote.
And/or woke dems encourage their constituents not to vote because they put Hamas before America.
Hamas and Bibi can both go to hell. What you should be thinking about are the ordinary people caught in the middle. And how Trump would only make this worse for everyone.
Exactly.
Hear hear!
Total effin insanity. Do they stop for one effin second to understand that if they get Trump back in, he'll totally send even more of whatever Netanyahu, trying to also save his own sorry ass, is getting already?

Some people's nightmares are other people's sweet dreams.
You're right on the edge of being obtuse. Okay, whose nightmares are whose sweet dreams. I feel like I've got to be very sure what you're saying and who you are calling the bad guys and good guys.
I'm about as woke as they come, and I will most certainly vote for Biden. I am not an idiot, and hence, not a single-issue voter. MOST of us are not.
I'm hoping in all these daily polls they are missing us every single time. We need them to be wrong again. Trump just cannot be allowed to win.
When has this happened?
Rashida Tlaib circa 5/26.
Go troll somewhere else!
Rashida Tlaib circa 5/26.
You are not only a MAGAt, you're a reported one now.
Go BERN in Hell with Bloodthirsty Bibi where you both belong.
So, you're just dandy with Bibi the Butcher killing untold thousands of women and children noncombatants because they're PALESTINIAN?

You MUST be a Trump Republican.
Who are you talking to with this? I don't see anybody making a MAGA comment.
Well, Ken Rozov seems all too happy to blame every Palestinian he knows of for Hamas's attack, and completely ignoring Netanyahu's excessive response—that seems pretty MAGAt-y to me!

Anyone who cannot see that doesn’t have an ounce of empathy in their hearts.
Actually, you would have broken the 5th commandment if you had written these words on a SATURDAY. We're talking about Yahweh here.
well I wrote about eleven hundred words yesterday, so I'm doomed no matter what
Well, unlike DFF you do not deny your many grievous sins!
We will all join you there - an orgy!!!
Nah. Look what Trump does on Sunday and he said it himself that he’s never ever sinned or needs forgiveness. Nope. Can’t. Do. That. He’s a liar and call it what you will but he’s the first to get by with that! Evangelicals don’t accept that or they didn’t but he’s playing to his own crowed.

Jeff, I thought you were Jewish. Not that it matters. The Sabbath, of Shabbat, is actually on SATURDAY. So, technically, you broke it yesterday. 😊
The paint thinner set us off...must have been the fumes. Great post today 👌
All good words and in proper order!
Oh, I figured this was Sunday service, and that was your sermon.
Or Friday night if you're Jewish.
The road to hell is paved with the bald heads of sharks.
Huzzah to you!!!
Hell, Yes! Let’s give Jeff a “HELL, YES!”
Thankfully. I’m so glad you did.
Repent sinner

props to Ms. Spouse, who told me to change "dipshit" to "incel"
She is truly wise.
Yes TFG has broken every commandment except one. But remember, he did want protesters shot in the legs. And with the inevitable complications one or more could easily have died. So no, he doesn’t get a pass on that one either.

3. Let's all consider what's REALLY on the videotape that Putin has on him (and there's a reason they rushed to pretend it was something fairly harmless like peepee).
How many thousand people died due to his lies about COVID and vaccinations?
Supposedly he’s suggested to his advisors names of people he believes should be executed… (General Milley for one.)
You could make a good case for felony murder in association with the Jan 6 riot.
What about the three executives from his casino in Atlantic City? Their rental helicopter crashed & they all died. Think it was in 1989?
and horse paste.
I'm guessing Ms. Spouse has one wicked sense of irony.

The pair of them for dining companions would be contest-worthy.

I’m exhausted from the sheer audacity of these people. Maybe it’s the heat, I dunno. There’s a rumor that handmaiden Amy might be rethinking her Uber conservative approach. Probably just a rumor. But at any rate, “drinking paint thinner straight from the can” has set the tone for MY day! 😂😂😂 I love it.
Mmmm! Paint thinner!!😆😆
Jeff is a genius!! 😂😂😂
Straight from the can? Not on the rocks with two olives? Fabulous post...I'll have another thinnertini and read it again!
Hey really, don't inject bleach and don't drink paint thinner.
It's okay, Kathleen. ❤️ No safety instructions needed here. ❤️ Only MAGA need warning ⚠️ labels. 😁😅😉
I have a very vivid imagination and even thinking about people drinking paint thinner makes my brain hurt.❤️⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰❤️
Ha!
Yep.😀😀😀
He sure is Susan!!!
Nothing that a good vermouth can't fix.
I am not opposed to drinking paint thinner!! Will it protect me from Covid or is that just bleach ?
😂😂😂🤪🤪
I think you have to inject 💉 the bleach.
Touché Cathy
She didn't appreciate the man in the Idaho EMTALA case treating her like an idiot. Also, she didn't like the casual way he implied it didn't matter if the women didn't get proper medical care and died.
I’m sipping some at a fancy restaurant/ bar in Santa Fe currently enjoying some vacay in the Southwest.
Welcome to NM, I’m from Ruidoso, the town to the south of Santa Fe that just nearly burned down. I’m loading up the 7 dogs I fled with & heading home tomorrow morning. My house didn’t get burned!!
Thank goodness for you, PJ. I’m glad you and the dogs are safe and that you have a home to return to.
Thank you, it’s so good to be back in my own home. I slept like a dead person last night.
(Should Boebert be talking about adultery? Well, she is a practitioner)
Those posters, if teenagers are like they were when I was in high school, will be covered in graffiti (especially dicks) in short order, maybe even some "Question Authority" stickers.
Waiting for the Church of Satan to enter the chat.
That's like wannabe emperor anus lips talking about adultery and then you throw in Bobo rub a pud into the mix, you got hypocrisy for the defeat. These despicable turds have flushed the separation of church and state down the shitter and have the audacity to preach what they don't and won't practice. When you see the orange talking turd praising the 10 Commandments, that pretty much says it all.
The Bible....It's his favorite book. 🤣🤣
The BUY - BULL.
and he can't even read
Only if he makes money or gets votes for praising it.
He's pretty sure he thinks there's windmills,toilets and sharks in there somewhere.
And both Corinthians.
Yet, he can’t quote a verse
When read upside down!
🤣🤣🤣
And can't even quote it right
Yet the only verse he can quote is “an eye for an eye”. He probably couldn’t find it in the Bible anyway.
He has many of them.
😂😂
Christianity is no longer a faith here, but a brand name. And what we're seeing/hearing from are counterfeits.
That is brilliant, and such a great insight. They seem more like sportsteams than a religion.
"Emperor anus lips" this wins the Intar-nets for today, damn.
Thank you Doc.
We’re definitely in a new age whereby the media is all giddy handing the microphone to these monsters who insult us with their blatant hypocrisy and then wonder how they became so powerful. When Donald the Klepto got media attention and then endless coverage for his birther claims he learned right then and there he could do anything and no one would stop him.
Republicans don't have to spend money on campaigns,they get free 24/7 coverage from mainstream media. That smirk Lara Trump has on her face on appearances?? The money's going to lawyers,and then in their pockets,down-ballot candidates?? Ha!! Take a number...losers, dictators don't share.
The slow motion train crash just keeps going!
The smirk is due to a joker like expression, from botched plastic surgery.
And Botox.
Oh yes, she has a massive botox addiction. You can use all those things well and not look like a monster. Like Kimberly Gargoyle her lips remind me of a Sea monster’s maw…just before it opens up and swallows you. Not good when you look like one of the animations from Pink Floyd’s movie “The Wall”.
She backs a person who is a convicted of sexual assault, a thief, and serial Adulterer?
You go girl!
Jeff Christofascist Landry is going to have a tough time laying that BS all over New Orleans, as he is desperately trying to do. Love the wave across the Internet making extreme fun of him, State 47th in education some say ought to be posting ABCs instead and that he's posting every single commandment Trump has broken over and over and over and over again. We've got to get past this hideous fever.
George Carlin said, we only need ONE COMMANDMENT, " Don't be a dick ".
"Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure." -- George Carlin
Absolutely!! I miss George!
And they can't even follow the one commandment.
👍👍
But what a great movie. It was supposed to only *be* a movie.
But now it's reality.
The author said he thought it would take roughly a hundred years to get there, he was shocked we managed it in twenty.
The criminal AG of Texass Paxton is pissed that Landry beat him to it. The poor girl who passed out is a sign from God, Landry. Some people think that Louisiana would be better served with something else due to being 48th in graduation and dead last (50th) in quality of life. Quality of life is what the people of Louisiana want, not religion pushed down their throats for political purposes.
We are all sick of the Returds.
They have 18.7 poverty rate,only Mississippi is worse,he thinks religious zealism might distract from that.
Yeah, the fainting incident was just theatre. I predict we will be seeing more of that. Old time religion has used it for many years.
Agree that bad theatre is the MO of these malicious God Botherers, but I don’t think this was orchestrated. That child had a haunted, grey skinned, gone absent look of the abused.
I really couldn't see it that clearly. Sorry if I offended anyone.
Gosh. Was not offended. You are quite right to point out their manipulative fakery and it was taking place in the forefront as that poor child collapsed. Shocking that these self identifying ‘caring’ Xtians chose to ignore her and carried on grandstanding instead 🐈⬛
I agree with Jeff. She probably hadn’t eaten all day. And just like the felon, Landry completely ignored A CHILD FAINTING right behind him.
I have a condition that causes me to pass out if I stand for 10-20 minutes. It’s called Neurally Mediated Hypotension (NMH) and is a form of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome(POTS). When J’ve been standing for a while, suddenly my systolic will plummet, then my heart races to get blood up to my head. When that doesn’t work, my body gets me down on the ground as fast as it can - I faint. It’s been happening since I was 14. There is treatment, tho I still keep an eye on my pulse when standing a long time or in the heat. If the girl does this a second time, she needs to see a doctor (one who knows about it).
"Slain in the spirit" goes the dogma.
Don’t you love turning down aid for the suffering? Remember the Tom Cotton complaint about poor people who have iPhones? Well, “Let them eat cake” is no longer appropriate. In the “I don’t vote yes for assistance unless it’s underwritten by bribes” GOP, the message issuing from the black window Expeditions rolling past the trailer parks is “Let them dumpster dive.”
The gentleman is wrong about only two, and that's because "Thou shalt not bear false witness" has a direct correlation in perjury laws, because that's pretty much what it's been interpreted as meaning. Do not lie in a judicial proceeding.
AS for the shitheads who say "We're pro-life!!", I really wish someone in the news media would grow the balls to ask, "If you're so prolife why are you willing to let children starve? Why won't you accept the money from the Federal Government for the SEBT program? I mean, since you're so prolife and all?"
Of course the stupid answer is "We don't want their parents to become reliant on the government." Which of course should only be followed by "Which government and why? The State government who they rely on for things like education, roads, school bus transportation, and all the other things provided by state funding? Or the Federal government? And if the latter, why not? Is the state afraid of the competition?"
I'm so sick of these phony Christians, I'm at the point of wanting to simply punch each and every one of them in their smug, self-righteous faces.
I know the feeling. 😡😡
Let's not confuse the MAGAs with facts.
They get away with this horseshit because basic civics isn't taught anymore. We all need to set the record straight.(Loudly and rudely, if necessary) Hey God botherers! Go find an island somewhere where you can practice your fucked up beliefs and superstitions and leave the rest of us alone. Forcing your medieval bullshit down our throats won't go well for you.😡😡😡
Spending eternity with those fucks just isn't the draw they think it is.
Fuckin’ A!!!!
good one Charles!
Tolerating God Botherers is the true diversity.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Charlie for president!
Oh boy!!🥴🥺😊
Word! I sincerely wish that the Rapture was real so we could get rid of these Christofascists.
I still say we should deed them the tip of Texas, centrally located, up against Mexico. Let them have their Theocracy, but make them build it from scratch, no military bases, or petroleum reserves. Then wall it off and let the criminals duke it out, sort of like the old movie "escape from new york"
Excellent idea.👍👍😈
You tell 'em Charles!!!
"just add it to the ever-growing christofascist shopping list, along with a national abortion ban, the outlawing of birth control, the end of divorce, and on and on…"
They WILL come after womens’ right to vote, next will be education, then what? The right to drive a car? Own property? Have your own money? If you can’t own your own body, as the Dobbs decision has already enshrined, then what can you own?
Have you seen the photos of women in Iran before the ayatollahs? Didn’t Margaret Atwood say that The Handmaid’s Tale is supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a handbook?
Like the meme says, Republicans want the legal right to kill women. They certainly want to own them.
Look at photos of women in Iran in the 1970s compared to today. This is what letting religion rule your society looks like -- https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-47032829
Horrifying! The worst photo was of a group of women protesting the lax government enforcement of the wearing of hijab. SMFH 🤪
They'd have been stoned if they didn't wear it. Religion of the patriarchal variety is evil.
Those women are just like the women here who vote Republican, are pro forced birth, support prison or the death penalty for women who get abortions, & join groups like Moms For Liberty & Libs of TikTok. They are voting for their own subjugation & taking the rest of us with them.
Thanks for the link 👍🏼 I'm going to share that widely.
Christofascism aside. How has trump, (lowercase “t” on purpose, because fuck him that’s why) not choked on a godamned chicken McNugget yet? FFS I’ve lost everyone in my family before the age of 73 and this maggot infested shitbag is still walking and talking? I mean, FUCK! No seriously FuCk!!!!
First, I'm very sorry about your losses -- that's sad and utterly unfair.
I have a theory about scump: He's the equivalent of a major cardiac event that forces a person to re-evaluate AND CHANGE their habits. The US has been screwing around for far too long, giving lip service to notions of equality without implementing it truly and across the board. In a cosmic sense, that's why he' still alive. (Rationally it's bc his family has genes that protect them from lots of ill health.)
But now the US is facing even more and even bigger stressors, in the form of fallout from 40+ years of ruinous, only-the-rich-win economic policies AND the destruction from the climate crisis. Are we going to act, or perish? It pains me to know that, even if we act, we're going to get a lot worse before we get better at all -- but at least scump et al. have finally opened the eyes of some who were previously blase or apathetic or too hedonistic to care. Democracy is hanging by a thread; having a habitable planet is no longer a given. Act or perish.
PS: I too refuse to cap the initial letter of the surname of those who deserve no respect, such as certain "justices" (hahahahahaha) on the SC.
A token of good news about the U.S. carbon dioxide consumption. The percentage has decreased 20% since 2005 (source NPR). In 2023 the decrease was 2.7%. Not enough to hit targets so just one more reason in a thousand to keep Dems in office.
Ty Dee. Appreciate you.
"Some" might say, due to Secret Service protection.
I know, right?
Satan. Thats why.
Ok, if you want your kids to have religion, take them to church, synagogue! Mosque, whatever. The Ten Commandments are original Jewish laws. Only two commandments came from Jesus: love your neighbors as yourself, and treat other people as you want to be treated. In sum, be kind and loving. It’s impossible to be kind when you’re pious, and keeping food and medicine from people who need it. Another thing Jesus said: “Feed My People”. They can’t legislate being kind, and obviously can’t practice that themselves. These basically good commandments are found in all major religions and cultures. Be a nice person, and vote for Biden so we don’t have cruel king FF as our master.
Love that you make these points, all right on. These are things none of those narrow-minded MAGAts would understand.
And he too was Jewish.
I'm waiting for someone to tell that awful three-names bleach blonde, howler monkey that.
Absolutely right!
The fainting girl brought back memories. I fainted in church several times mainly due to the stultifying bullshit in the air. When I was 15, I finally said enough, not going to church anymore. Ugh. Religious zealots are such a scourge.
Per Snopes, Gandhi probably didn't say something often attributed to him: "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
But fear not, bc according to Gizmodo, "A similar quote appears to be from an Indian philosopher named Bara Dada, brother of Rabindranath Tagore. The full quote from Dada appears to be from the mid-1920s: 'Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him.' "
I have no words for this…..as if!
My commandments:
Thou shall not be an asshole
Thou shall not be a racist nor bigot
Thou shall not be a spouse abuser they’re not your property
Thou shall not abuse a child, see above
Thou shall help the poor
Thou shall not keep coming to others homes to force religion
Thou shall not murder (which btw includes the death penalty)
Thou shall be an incel if thou can’t be nice, polite, bathe, brush teeth
and not expect sex for a meal
Can we slide, Thou shalt not be a fucking hypocrite, in there somewhere? Better add a footnote saying consult a dictionary.
Of course. This is not a complete list. That would be a 5 mile long one.
I'm voting for you Kay!!!! ✌️👍
Yeah. Kay would do a Helluva lot better job than me.🥴🥴
👏👏👏👏👏👏
The late Alice Miler (a world-renowned psychoanalyst who wrote about common, less-overt forms of parental abuse -- psychological abuse that was consciously unintentional but was no less debilitating for that) wrote that "Honor thy father and thy mother" wouldn't be necessary if our parents treated us the way we deserve to be treated -- with compassion, respect, understanding, tenderness, empathy, etc. -- because we would naturally treat our parent as they have treated us. We would know no other way.
I'm not dissing people's parents, who are doing the best they can, nor was she; she was underscoring that we can't teach our children what we don't know, and that dysfunction travels down the generations whether it's overt (physical and/or sexual violence) or less-overt (belittlement, bullying, etc.). When people like Landry and Bobblehead support posting the commandments, they unintentionally give us a snapshot of the screwed-up authoritarian homes they grew up in. 'Course, all of their actions give us that snapshot, but I'm just saying...
Great thought. One thing becomes clear: If you don't want your kids to be any smarter than you, home school them.
Not in all cases. There are resources available for home-schooling. My daughter and her husband (both PhD's) home-schooled my grandchildren because they did not want them going to NC Christofascist public schools! Both grandchildren are college-educated and earning decent salaries.
Well said. I do know people who home-schooled their kids with great success. I was thinking of the limited information types.
Which obviously was the right thing for them to do. But too many home-school as a way to keep their children ignorant of , well everything.
Did you see the xtian home schoolers, that sent their daughter to a public school? They realized how little they actually knew when they tried to help her with her second grade homework! So they are learning about the world along with her.

Back in the old days. just over 100 years ago, when child labor was absolutely necessary for family survival, the commandment, “honor your father and mother" made a great deal of sense. Even today, I am well aware of many families where the parents are expected to run a hotel that caters to the preferences of the children. Children do need to be taught to see the family as a community that works together for the happiness and welfare of all.
There's also the passage that says "parent's don't provoke your children." I think there is an attempt in the bible to help us balance our lives and be productive, serve each other, yada,yada. But this pick and choose that they market is meaningless and dangerous.
