It’s wild to me how these “God fearing Christians” basically want to put poor people into concentration camps, because that’s just like Jesus would do. /s
Maybe if we had more public housing, better healthcare, that includes mental and dental, and easier and cheaper access to higher education and more affordable housing while being educated, it’s not rocket science, sure we’ll have people who choose the nomadic life but most of these homeless people have been pushed out of society by debt or by their health issues and the addictions that come from those health issues and poverty.
“Hillary Clinton used a similar tactic against me when I ran for president in 2020, accusing me of being ‘groomed by the Russians’.”
I guess no need to be groomed by Russians when you’ve already been groomed by fanatical Christian Extremists so your values basically align with the current Russian regime’s:
Gabbard became an anti-homosexual activist before the same-sex marriage debate took hold in Hawaii.[3] Between 1991 and 1996, Gabbard founded the organizations Stop Promoting Homosexuality Hawaii (renamed Stop Promoting Homosexuality International), Stop Promoting Homosexuality America, and the Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values.[10] Gabbard became well-known for his advocacy for Hawaii Constitutional Amendment 2 (1998). This amendment, approved by voters 69.2%–28.6%,[11] gave the state legislature “the power to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples” under the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), signed by Bill Clinton in 1996.[12][3][13]
You should see how many American politicians are just as corrupt for less money, I was surprised when I saw Devin Nunes was only making $15K from one of the bribery schemes that was supporting him while he was in Congress. I guess it all comes down to knowing your worth to the scumbags you work for. 🤷♂️
Just greedy short sighted fools who are willing to abase themselves to scum, or they are sociopathic monsters who don’t care about anything but whatever they want.
This should have been a no brainer once these idiots started calling the Baltimore Mayor the “DEI mayor”.
These racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and anti-Semitic/islamophobic assholes are always looking for a new dog whistle to use or a new popular thing to corrupt, or even seemingly innocent things to corrupt.
The guy is literally a wannabe Stalinist Communist from Austin freaking Texas, he’s been there since 2014 fighting and propagandizing alongside the Russians this whole time, he’s apparently been an avowed socialist since he was 16, yet you’re trying to act like the CIA had anything to do with this fucking idiot.
He was arrested over selling pot in the 90’s and started hating America and was too brainwashed, desperate, or mentally inept to realize that Russia was never really a communist country, especially not under Putin, and kept working with the Russians despite all the bad shit they do.
I guess you haven’t seen all of the news reports and government outcry over Russia basically luring these guys to Russia then kidnapping Indian and Nepalese dudes and forcing them to fight, same with North Koreans, a whole bunch of South Americans, and several other Americans.
Mercenaries fight for money, these kidnappings and enslavements, along with the Russian conscription process in particular, are more along the lines of a slave army, since it’s absolutely not voluntary for many of those people.

Florida has gone full Joseph McCarthy red scare mode, they’re outing the gays, burning books, trying to resegregate the minorities, dipshit DeSantis going after “the commies” is absolutely the logical (illogical) next step.
“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”
He has three main shows that he’s part of, the first is Blue Mountain State, it’s a raunchy college football comedy, not that great, but Ritchson steals the show, the next is a comic book series, Titans, based on DC’s Teen Titans, he plays Hawk and as someone who read Hawk & Dove he plays Hawk near perfectly, so the third is Reacher, this is the first series where he’s the star, very good detective style series about a former Military Police Officer who headed a special investigations squad, but now lives a “Billy Jack/Rambo-esque” lifestyle of traveling and putting down villains.
All three are fantastic in their own way, Ritchson also has a few movies he’s been in as well.
Every “real” Christian I know can’t stand Trump and all of this other garbage, it always seems to he the fake Christians who tell people that they should go to church while they themselves don’t, and similar folks who seem to love Trump and the prosperity gospel.
Don’t get me wrong, I know there are whole congregations of idiots, but I’m just saying the ones I know personally who are very into their religion yet retain their open mindedness seem to be the ones who are against this crap, meanwhile “religious types” like my own father who never go to church and constantly try to push religion on me and the rest of the family, always seem to be the Trumpers. (Also not surprising my dad is a retired LEO)
Solter-Hunt thinks that the perturbations caused by the conductive shell could poke holes in Earth’s protective magnetic shield, potentially allowing more harmful cosmic radiation to reach the planet’s surface. An extreme, almost apocalyptic scenario could see the weakened magnetosphere allow solar wind to begin stripping away Earth’s atmosphere as it had done to the atmosphere of Mars billions of years ago. That, however, is certainly not an immediate threat.
Imagine we go extinct because satellite and plasma dust allows our atmosphere to get stripped by solar winds, similar to what it’s like on Mars, that is a wild f’n scenario to consider, life is just so delicate to maintain.

Honestly I don’t think it’s as thought out as that, I think they just want things like spousal rape and child sexual abuse laws to be undone.
You have to remember that a lot of this is being fueled by incels of one type or another, these are dudes that hate women because of ex-wives, hate women because they can’t get laid, hate women because they age out of being the young girls they are attracted to, hate women because they aren’t the domestic slaves they were before Susan B. Anthony helped change things.
I’m sure some of them are thinking very similar to how you think they are, but the majority just seem to want to own women and minorities, and Trad wife/Pick Me women think they will get to be Serena Joy, as if that’s some kinda good thing.
