This Sunday, the most holy of days in Christendom, remember that “one of the most powerful political coalitions in American history, the "Moral Majority," as it would later be tagged, was not only instrumental in the election of Ronald Reagan... it also forged a bond between the Republican Party and Christian fundamentalist groups that persists to this day – one that we now see manifesting even on the nation’s highest court.” The Supreme Court which now controls our country as never before has proclaimed our new form of government as a White Evangelical Theocracy or Christofascism, no longer a secular form of government but now a “JESUS STATE” with donald trump as their Jesus on earth. In this vein, the godless one must be defeated and destroyed.

“And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming

Then the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls in tenement halls. And whispered in the sound of silence.”

Finally – Bibles for sale, get em while they’re hot* GOD BLESS THE USA BIBLE- only $59.99 + shipping, handling and a special blessing by our heavenly father on earth. Must be held upside down at all times.

Its was Hillary Clinton’s fault as she was told a million times not to zoom with George Soros while piloting the ship.

Thanks Jeff. Not that anyone here needs a reminder, however pretty much everyone mentioned by @JeffTiedrich would be the first group of a*holes to comment after a previous or next mass shooting to tell us "now is not the time to politicize this tragedy."

Instead, every semi-human who makes big bucks selling conspiracies to the willfully ignorant, and those who are the true believers, America's talking horses with a microphone and an internet connection -is off demanding the resignation of anyone with a (D) after their name.

It's a serious reminder as to why any meaningful democracy requires a well-educated, well-informed, and engaged society. Not just a bunch of people rabidly foaming while watching Fox 'News' telling them who to hate and blame for their narrow little lives. Anything to keep from picking up a book.

I’m so sad about the men who lost their lives in the bridge incident.

Thanks Jeff.. all these MAGAS have left is hate, fear and conspiracy.. they sound as if they are all barking mad hatters. I’m glad you posted Alex Jones, American certified nut job.. a few days ago Alex had a broadcast with Victor Soloyov, the head propagandist for Russian state TV.. my question is why? Why haven’t MSM picked up on this? Why is Jones spouting Putin talking points to his audience of nut bags? Well, at least in Budapest last night there was a huge demonstration against Donald’s good buddy and dictator wannabe Orban.. Have a great day Jeff and fellow travelers.

I learned a new term from Dr. Heather Cox Richardson’s most recent “Letter from an American” last night, when she wrote about the Dali crash: “engagement farming.” Alex Jones and other lowlifes post hysterical stories and when other conspiracy nuts click on them, ka-ching! It’s how he got so rich after Sandy Hook, the rat bastard.

What the F is wrong with these people? I hate to even use "people" as somehow they are not. And I hope Laura Loomer's family members all die of cancer. What a piece of sh$t she is.

Don’t let the truth get in the way of some dog whistles.

Blatant racism. That is what the election in 2016 brought us. The fact that a man who was once sued by the U.S. Government for housing discrimination rose to the highest office in the land, meant it wasi fine for everyone to take their white hoods out of the closet. I'm sorry to say this about the country I love; but racism is in our country's DNA. The difference today is that people get away with being obvious about it. When I was growing up, especially if you went to an east coast liberal college; you had little idea who the racists were.

The simple fact is, that the cargo ship completely lost power and the local pilot captaining the ship immediately jumped into action and called Mayday, most likely saving hundreds of lives. These fuckwads at Fox Noise and other right-wing morons are nothing but hatemongers and chaos junkies. How are these people still allowed to maliciously slander people with absolutely NO consequences?! I'm beyond enraged at these motherfkrs and am ready to rumble at this point.

I’m no expert but a lot of the crippling infrastructure in this nation was built by the octogenarians in Congress. Well, the hard working people of their time and lots of slave labor if we include railroads….No expert but maybe the problem is the retirement home called Congress. Maybe the replacement bridge won’t be named after the racist author of the national anthem!

Excellent reporting, Jeff. It is beyond sanity that the nut jobs on the right would say such incredulously stupid shit. This kind of blatant racism is contributing to society's ills.

And Laura Loomer? CEE You Next Tuesday, BITCH. 🤦‍♀️

Any time you think they've hit the bottom....they go lower. WTF is a Laura Loomer and why would any

Didn't know the history of the ship, but other real news outlets reported it lost power prior to the crash. It was also reported that the captain radioed an SOS and explained the situation to the harbormaster, who informed the MD authorities, who then shut down the ends of the bridge before anyone else could cross it. The last time I checked, the first responders were still in search and rescue mode, so they must think some of those missing are still alive. But that info is a bunch of hours old now.

As for the MAGAts, well, it's becoming harder to fault them for thinking the way they do. After all, if you're only going to have one "news" source, and that source feeds you bullshit all day, then I expect becoming a mushroom is inevitable.

Whoa, Jeff, you might have managed to find the assholiest assholes, the looniest lunatics, the vilest of the vile, and the stupidist stupids this time. I would say un-fucking-believable, but nothing is un-fucking-believable with these racist morons.
