  1. Well, it really is the [nationalist] Christian thing to do.
  2. Getting ready for the high brow discussions that take place on TigerDroppings.
  3. Obrey M. Hendricks writes extensively about Christian nationalism in his book, Christians Against Christianity-How Right Wing Evangelicals are Destroying our Nation and our Faith. He writes the following: “What distinguishes right wing evangelicalism from more main stream evangelicalism is that right wing evangelicalism contains an unabashed substratum of Christian nationalism. Christian nationalism is the engine that drives white American evangelical politics. It is the ideology…that the United States is intended by God to be a Christian nation. This movement is a form of nationalism, explains Catherine Stewart, because it purports to derive its legitimacy from its claim to represent a specific identity unique to and representative of the American nation. Christian nationalism, not only purveys the myth that America was founded as a Christian nation, but also that it should be governed, according to biblical precepts that Christian nationalist themselves identify as germane.. They routinely ignore all evidence to the contrary, so no matter how compelling, including the testimony of founding fathers, like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams that America was not founded as a Christian nation. Thus, Christian nationalism is best, understood as a political ideology, that holds that America’s government is not legitimate, nor can it be until its laws and policies are thoroughly consistent with the Christian nationalist, narrow, sometimes idiosyncratic, and at times convoluted reading of the biblical text.
  4. I’m no lawyer, but it seems to me the floggers have not been able to establish relevance when it comes to Trump’s crimes and what they are alleging.
  5. I’m sure Eric was thinking about all the money Harlan will give him as his his ass was being dragged to hell and back during open mic:
  6. The public flogging itself may not be dispositive, but it sure is fun.
  7. Congress Goldman who later said House Republicans could be criminally charged: https://x.com/danielsgoldman/status/1760300849098613113?s=20
  8. Just heard that should GOP House goons persist in advancing a Biden impeachment, they could be charged criminally if they use known Russian Intel to interfere with the election.
  9. How Biden has led the country and the free world is all the more impressive when one considers he is governing during one of the most difficult times in recent history. He took over on the heels of a concluding pandemic, and even as he worked to stabilize the economy, Biden has been confronted with a series of political conundrums. To those of us on the sidelines, decisions that seem simple are anything but. Israel versus Gaza, an intractable border crisis, the unrelenting assault on democracy and supporting institutions at home and abroad, and anti intellectual malaise that has taken hold in much of the country, an ever encroaching fascism. Who ever thought we’d see the return of polio and measles? And through it all, Biden has persevered.
  10. I don’t really get why most people seem to accept that Pope Francis, while feeble in body, and up in age (will turn 88 this year) is capable of making significant changes within a stodgy, difficult organization of one billion people, while they constantly whine about our transformational 81 year old president.
  11. https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1760058482026250328?s=20
  12. Informant also told authorities of Russia’s plans to sabotage this year’s presidential election: https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-fbi-informant-joe-biden-ef48c7543e7a45cd3b8b671d0e2f60e5 LAS VEGAS (AP) — A former FBI informant charged with making up a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company had contacts with officials affiliated with Russian intelligence, prosecutors said in a court paper Tuesday. Prosecutors revealed the alleged contact as they urged a judge to keep Alexander Smirnov behind bars while he awaits trial. He’s charged with falsely reporting to the FBI in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016. The claim has been central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress.
  13. During the flogging, she had to talk about his inability to put in the hard work. Pay attention.
  14. If we valued people more than guns, things would be different…like they are in other civilized countries.
  15. I’ll take LBJ’s brand of racism over Wilson’s any day of the week: Before the election of President Woodrow Wilson, Black Americans worked at all levels of the federal government. But when Wilson assumed office in 1913, he mandated that the federal workforce be segregated by race—leading to the reduction of Black civil service workers’ income, increasing the significant income gap between Black and white workers, and eroding some of the gains Black people had made following Reconstruction. https://newsroom.haas.berkeley.edu/research/how-woodrow-wilsons-racist-segregation-order-eroded-the-black-civil-service/
  16. I’d just like to rest the ugly rumor that Donald has a foul order. Y’all don’t know good cologne when you smell it. Btw, you can get both the J6s and the cologne in a TPack for $650.
  17. Does he sell eggs by the dozen too?
  18. Okay. How do you know when she learned of his views?
  19. Again, I’m not really interested in how stupid you think her actions were. I’m interested in the public flogging.
  20. Maybe Wills shares Mae West’s view of wrongdoing who once opined, Between the two evils, I always choose the one I haven’t tried before..” The misery of the human condition is the knowledge both of the wrong and its inevitability. So, nothing on the flogging itself?
