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.

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.

Expand full comment

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.

These folks think Alfred E. Newman is a Pulitzer Prize winner !Not much reading going on in Clown Town if they can read at all ? Sad but from what I’ve been reading illiteracy is rampant in many rural communities!Home schooling is a huge part of it also ,no real regulations for standards and if there are they’re not enforced !The stupid Gap is getting wider and more common! Shame on everyone involved in perpetuating ignorance for gain ! Specifically the GOP !

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.

Expand full comment

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....".

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!

Expand full comment

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?

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

This just absolutely floors me!

Expand full comment

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.

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

Watson, there's high fuckery about.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

White kids can be malnourished too...also, I think he was making a point about the general foolishness of the LA governor.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

"Jeff, I don't want to inhibit you from making cracks about fainting, but" I'm going to anyway.

Expand full comment

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.

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.

Expand full comment

Oh, I'm not so sure about that. Examples:

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.' "
