Gonna start a running list of things Americans absolutely do NOT understand, but have strong opinions about anyway:
-federal gov’t
-state gov’t
-the economy
-freedom of speech
-well regulated militia
-climate change
-insurance
-immunology
-immigration

I anticipate dying before I finish.

Many of these "kids" are approaching 40 years of age.

Meanwhile, the racist ICE gooncunts are snatching REAL children away from their parents.

So fuck all the way off, hillbilly boy.

We're just weeks away from a Papal Bull that updates the Gospel According to Matthew to read "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, except for the fuckin' Cubs and the Astros."

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!”

Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

I know a lot of people have talked about this article, but please--read this shit. These people are vile, depraved bigots and need to be kept as far the fuck away from any kind of power as possible.

And everyone should treat them like they belong in leper colonies.

It's good to see her actual words and it becomes immediately obvious that this VERY important lawyer never has.

Machu Pikacchu @judet.bsky.social · 22h

Not for nothing, but "assaulting an officer" is a felony, and regular people get charged with that for spitting AT them.

This (along with all the roids) explains SO MUCH about fuckin' cop behavior (as well as general shithead aggro bro behavior in general).

I don't think these freaks even know about the Palestinian connection. That would require them learning something new.

Sigh.

Anyway, clearly these two responses are nonsensical and stupid.

Start with the obvious: the Pope doesn't say that money is evil. Rather, he says the accumulation of wealth, combined with indifference to the poor, is evil. 1/

Two responses to this piece:

And yet Catholics still overwhelmingly love Trump in America

Also: maybe the church can stop asking for money and sell off their ectravagant art and palaces if they feel money is evil.

LOL. Does he mention how much his church is worth.

But also, Catholics overwhelmingly love Trump in the US? That's not what Pew says. White Catholics approve of him by 51-49. Hispanic Catholics disapprove 73-26. And on net, only 42% of Catholics approve of Trump's handling of the presidency. 3/

Poll of Trump support by religion. Relevant numbers in skeet.

I almost got ran over in an intersection with my little dog when we had a walk sign just a few moments ago because a fucking cop from the next town over is apparently too important to wait to get to the fucking doughnut shop or to his hooker or whatever.

Prick even gave ME the finger.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Yes. Modern day Political terrorism was started by the Zionists by the bombing of the King David Hotel in July 1946

When I think of Defenders of the Faith, yes, naturally, the Trump family is right up there. Family, too. Donald Trump cares about families so much that he, personally, has had three. What a truly great man.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."
