  1. Actually, I like that she asked it that way. It's a (presumably) young single mother with a 2 month old infant that she says she hasn't been able to feed since yesterday. If you're a church and this call comes in there's no ambiguity here. The question is do you help or do you not help. This was a small look at a much large sample size she collected. It's illuminating that many of the Catholic churches and Muslim mosques basically told her to come up and they'll figure it out, even if they dont have any baby formula on hand or a food pantry that's open at the moment. Yet, the only Protestant churches that offered any help at all were black churches. That one in Tennessee went so far as to say "our benevolence is for our members only". These institutions don't pay taxes because they're expected to provide help for needy people in their communities. It's clear American evengelicism and wider protestantism is nothing more than a money making business selling bullshit. And honestly should be shut down IMO. If you're going to pedal bullshit at least serve your community like you're supposed to do.
  2. While true, Willie was a power hungry dude. I mean, look what he married. Getting trump to get on his knees and suck his dick is some Roman Empire level power move shit
  3. Let's take a look at why she might have not implicated trump. Her deposition in which she stated trump was not involved with her was on November 16, 2016. Trump was elected president on November 8, 2016. Can you think of any reasons why someone who knew trump, was raped by him as a child, would not want to implicate him when she knew he would be in control of the DOJ within a few months? Perhaps this situation was even made perfectly clear to her by those in trump's orbit who did the dirty work?
  4. This is the shit that's going to sink him. The reality of economic collapse is going to bring out the "I never give a shit about politics" crowd that never usually votes. If trump wasn't a complete moron he'd be begging republicans in congress to reinstate the ACA subsidies, issue all manner of food subsidies to lower grocery costs, and do whatever possible to lower costs across the board. But that takes work and is difficult. So he'll just revert to form and lie his ass off in clownish fashion so every non political person that voted for him because of the economy, or didn't vote at all, are going to blame him. We don't have trump right now because of his base. We have trump because half of American adults are too stupid or lazy to pay any attention at all to what's happening around them. They only pay attention when shit is burning down.
  5. Kind of hard to establish an authoritarian stronghold when you're a drooling moron and 65 to 70 percent of your county hates you for ruining their economy and being a pedophile. Interesting to watch republicans in congress here as trump continues to sink himself further into the abyss. Is there ever a point where they take action to cut away before it takes them down with him? How much more depraved do they and trump get going forward? Americans are just starting to find out their health plans are getting jacked up hundreds of dollars a month in January while economically most things are collapsing.
  6. Nah, he's anti christ for sure, but there's no singular biblical entity in reality. You're thinking too American centric. Putin is just as evil and destructive, if not more so, than this guy.
  7. I was wondering which of these subhuman republicans was going to be the first to publicly excuse raping young girls because trump does it.
  8. Yes, but they're little kids peeing on this rat bastard trump while he rapes them
  9. I dont think dems want him removed at this point. He's so incompetent if they just keep him tied down enough to where he cant do anything but fuck everything up and make everyone hate him they can gain the most power. Well, if they also weren't compromised by corporate interests. The power play for republicans would actually be to impeach him. He's become a millstone around their necks and they have to increasingly debase themselves to cover up for him. Getting him out and working on manipulating Vance, who has no popularity whatsoever with the voting public, would be their best bet at turning things around for themselves for 2026 and 2028. They would also put dems in a tough position of having to vote for impeachment even if it doesnt benefit them just because of the optics. But republicans are completely incompetent and stupid as well so they'll screw it up. Also, could be corporate interests have instructed them to keep trump in for the time being.
  10. If by coincidence you mean their corporate lords in the transportation industry pulled their puppet strings and reminded them how much money they've bribed them with. Not just those ones that voted but the entire senate. Republicans dont have to worry about that because the corporate lords are afraid of trump. So they put all the pressure on democrats in the senate to cave and give them what they want. This country's system of government is broken beyond repair. It would take a full scale civil war and a complete scrap of the government and reinstalling a new government to even have a chance at staving off destruction now. Everyone in this thing is bought off.
  11. Vegas is one of the few places I'll do that. You meet the weirdest damn people which I don't mind. It's numbnuts Jack driving a jacked up white truck sitting at the local sports bar being as interesting as a 7-11 hotdog that ruins my beer
  12. Aren't you the dude that has been paying 20 something women to date? What differences have you encountered in the young group?
  13. I don't know how old you are, but I was a lot like you when I was younger. Even into my mid to late 30s.
  14. If only there was a way to convince Jerry to take his whole family on the yacht and sail around the coast of Venezuela for a while.
  15. I'm being a bit optimistic in my assessment.
  16. Just like if you tell them to believe in one singular diety, give everything they have to it, all their problems will be solved... After they die Real fuckin' smart these Americans.
  17. In my middle age I'm very much enjoying this dynamic. I can go sit at a sport bar near my house, drink my beer, watch a bit of a game, and enjoy it in peace without having to small talk the cretins around me. At my age and our current social and political climate I don't want to get to know many more people. I've had my party days, raised my kids, have my family and friends.
  18. Aaaaaaaaaaand the Surly football board motto search is offically over.
  19. The legislature has done nothing in 9 months except that bloated omnibus that Schumer caved on in the spring. They serve no purpose and the shutdown was limiting how badly trump could continue fucking everything up. The fact he was owning the shutdown, and the majority of Americans were blaming him, was the biggest win you could get in this. He needed the shutdown to end, it's why he was begging Thune to end the filibuster. All the pressure was on him and by proxy on Thune and the other republicans. All democrats had to do was flood the zone with the messaging I put earlier in this thread. The blame was on republicans and trump. The people were already blaming him. Just keep tightening the squeeze until he folded. The American people are not going to go unscathed in this. My work was impacted during the shutdown, we were not getting the funding we get from OPTN during the shutdown, and while it didn't shut us down it slowed things down. I was soft furloughed for all but 4 days out of 2 1/2 weeks at the end of October. It affected my pay. But I still didnt want the democrats to cave because the long term viability of the country is way bigger than reduced pay for a couple of months. People are going to suffer to fight authoritarianism. There's no way around it now.
  20. It 100 percent depends on how badly the regular worker, especially trump assholes, are getting fucked over by the economy in ways obvious to their dumbasses. Things like not affording groceries, utilities, housing, and insurance will do it. 2008 was so bad after the republican Bush fuck ups that these racists voted for Obama, or at least didnt rise up against him in large numbers. That's what it takes. They're too stupid to be proactive and problem solve. They're pure amygdola. Purely reactionary. And they have the long term memory of Lucy Whitmore. They have to be hurting right then in election season.
  21. Ok I'm calling bullshit. There isnt a person alive who knows who that cunt Hinchcliff is and doesn't know the other Rogan Nazi comics. Rogan's comedians are just a bunch of opportunists who saw $$$ in jumping on the nazi white supremacist bandwagon of trump and catering to the trump deplorables. But now they've run their course, and as the country gets more and more legitimately harmed by this administration's authoritarianism the backlash against these people will continue to grow.
