Another asinine twit throwing "doubt" around about the 2020 groundswell for Biden. We already know it was in fact the most valid and least fradulent election in history. Tom Emmer is a god-damn idiot and another person whose opinion is about as useful and valuable as a mouthful of rat droppings.
I agree. They are dangerously lunatic in every way. I consider someone who identifies as Republican with admitting to being a child molester, a woman hater, and an abusive parent in every way. I consider them totally and completely mentally unstable and utterly corrupt in every possible sense of the word.
Me too, and it's really ashame, I've had to let good friends go bye bye. I simply consider republicans far too mentally ill and dangerous to let them be around my family and I do not want them in my neighborhood at all.
Good. I'm glad this asswipe's friend was destroyed by his own sick and perverted behaviors. The more of these criminal assholes that take themselves and their compatriots out, the better for all of us. I hope they give the police a medal for this - if they don't, I will send one to them myself.
What really irks the living s#it outta me is not so much that states are blindly suing social media sites just to get on the bandwagon of pretending they're doing something to help kids -- it's that nobody, not one of those people in any of those states, NO ONE - has asked kids if they feel like they're being harmed by social media. Outraged puritanical parental groups are making ridiculous assumptions right and left about what kids are seeing, and worse, assuming they know what kids are feeling as a result. They are wrong on this in almost every way. Any kid will tell you, they see worse stuff than this in other places than online almost every day of their lives. It's popular to make social media the villain - but how can you just ignore input from the very people you're pretending to be protecting.
What a world. A 71 year old white nationalist asshole stabs a 6 year old birthday boy to death (stabs him 24 times) for being of the Muslim faith, and leaves the knife stuck in the kid's bleeding abdomen. This is what human beings really are. This is what white Americans call "good christianity." This is a country where, if you summon an Uber and accidentally get in the wrong vehicle, you instantly get stabbed to death by a mentally screwed up monster. This is the engine that America now runs on - blood and death and sickness and abuse, and no one able to have a peaceful protest because of how many many many many sick disgusting mentally ill creeps are still out there looking for kids to hurt and kill, in this country and the middle east as well.
Nigeria has been screwed over by unstable religious zealots inculcating their heads with pernicious misinformed bullcrap for decades. This is the primary example I use when explaining why I equate missionary work with slavery and abuse in every possible way. It's far more corrupt and perverse to brainwash ignorant people into sick and unjustifiable bigotry against other better human beings than it is to perform any other act of malicious intent possible. Nigeria has been lead into the deepest darkness of all - ignorance and hate and the pernicious filth of bigotry. And that's why they totally fail as a nation.
Asshole conservatives export their bigoted assholery to what they see as the weakest, most impressionable people they can corrupt. It's why so many otherwise once good and proud Tongans, for example, now subscribe to the idiotic inhumanity that is Mormonism and all the horror that it has created and continues to create in the world, and all the misery it continues to spread. That's what they've done to Nigeria. Africa is no longer a proud continent - and no longer can we look at is as the "cradle" of any civilized nation.
This is simply disgusting and utterly unjustifiable. Yes a nation has the right to defend itself - when it's under attack as it was by Hamas two weeks ago. Once the attack is over, going into Gaza and blatantly murdering people is no longer "defense," it is sick and perverted retaliation - a chance for mentally ill men to go use their sick weapons to kill, hurt, maim, torture, destroy, wound, and obliterate. Give them weapons, men will always invent (completely erroneous) reasons to use them againt innocent civilians. SHAME AND DAMNATION ON EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS WAR.
Any israelis or palestinians who engage in this war, for terrorist reasons, retaliation, or just for the sick thrill they get from killing children, is a total monster and to blame in every way with no exception. And all who participate, will burn in hell for the rest of eternity without exception and in every possible way. I am a lone voice screaming the horror of this war mentality into the wind. War is not a justifiable response to ANYTHING. And it never can be. But most especially, it cannot be justified by any group claiming to have any actual religious ideals of any kind.
Trump is definitely showing what "not taking your punishment like a man" really is all about. Keep filing frivolous lawsuits and hope the public forgets what a monstrous abomination you are.
When I was a kid we sometimes ran around with our arms outstretched, imitating airplanes. Yet, even as a dumb kid, I knew I was not under some asinine belief that I was actually becoming an airplane. Playing "helicopters" and imitating what they see around them is what kids do. It is not the same thing as identifying as if you were that thing. We have to stop this insane and perverted usage of kids' behaviors to justify bigotry against others.
The new report from #WeCount reveals that the number of abortions increased nationwide after the Dobbs decision, with an average monthly change adding up to about 2,200 more abortions in a year.
It's funny that here in Utah where they are not only restricting all abortion access but access to all OB-GYN care across the board, more women are getting abortions now than ever before. Most of them are happening at home, and some women are bleeding to death because of it. But then again, that's better than having to go on living here in Utah which is a fate worse than any abortive death could ever possibly be.
Anyone with any intelligence knew it would happen, people are always going to do exactly the opposite of what laws say they can't do. Anyway because of these restrictive anti-abortion idiot laws, I've gone from being pro-choice to being completely pro-abortion, helping some women in my area think about getting abortions who might not otherwise have even thought about it. And helping pay for them as well. Viva Abortion, is my new motto!!
Hmm I'm not sure what context this is meant to be in. If he means actual drugs - it's true that customers will pay more to sell themselves deeper into the horrid dark slavery of drug abuse and addiction. Because people are sick in the head and can be shackled to drug abuse so very easily.
I realize that completely and I'm not blaming Palestinian people any more than I'm blaming most Israelis. I'm blaming those who choose to participate in genocide and the sick and completely unforgivable atrocity of war. It isn't just me saying that this, it's God himself (if you believe in such a being).
Again I think they SHOULD include that book in the curriculum. Kids are not just resilient, they need to be aware even if it makes them question and feel uncomfortable. As Scorsese himself said about this movie "this history SHOULD make you feel uncomfortable. You think you're going to go through life without being uncomfortable? Guess again."
The U.S. is as horrifically culpable as the Israelis and the Palestinians for causing this perverse, disgusting war that is killing kids right, left, and sideways. War is the product of mental illness; give men weapons, they'll always fabricate unjustifiable reasons to turn them on innocent lives and destroy the world. There is NO POSSIBLE justification for ANY of this at all. Anyone who has helped this war continue will forever burn in the hottest flames of hell.
You're wrong in every way possible. Any party who participates in this god-damned war is indeed guilty to the most vile degree. Just because someone is oppressed and colonized doesn't give them ANY right to commit murder and sick desecration of human bodies. Period.
I don't argue any such thing, for one thing because I'm completely A-theistic and also because I believe the bible is inherently a work of total fiction. I'm just pointing out that people who think they are Christians cannot ignore the most prominent commandment of all, "thou shalt not kill," and think that they're actually going to get away with murder. God murdering people is atrocious and despicable enough - but by their own religious rules, humans are not to ever engage in such filth.
Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive....
Absolutely disgusting in every way. War is the product of infantile minds and sick abusive hearts. These kids did not deserve to die for the stupidity and perverse beliefs of the adults surrounding them. Shame on Israel for this murderous atrocity and shame on Hamas for engaging in warlike acts of child murder as well. NO ONE is above blame for this horrendous show of inhumane and despicable sickness.
Which is why war is the ultimate atrocity that humans can commit. Worse than child abuse, worse than rape - war is the result of sick minds corrupted beyond any hope of redemption.
In my view genocide is never justifiable and never excusable. Both sides are to blame for this horror. And the US for perpetuating it with more arms and munitions to keep the murders going on and on and on........
House Republicans haven’t been terribly successful at many things this year. They struggled to keep the government open and to keep the United States from defaulting on its debt. They’ve even struggled at times on basic votes to keep the chamber functioning. But they have been very good at one thing: regicide....
Perhaps you missed this part; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Which cannot happen without implicit freedom from prosecution. And anyone who would WISH to live in a world where these rights aren't guaranteed and upheld, is a very mentally ill and sick person indeed. And that's inarguable.
