This christian right bullshit needs to stop. “Yeah, we wanna subjugate our woman and minorities” is a rough stance and the fact that they have support is wild. The internet has ruined us.
The greasy hands dirty nails crowd is always so bent on their money being given to the lazy. In reality, the rich are laughing all the way to the bank.
Israel’s military said on Monday it had begun encouraging residents of Rafah to evacuate the southern Gazan city as part of a ‘limited scope’ operation, but did not immediately confirm media reports this was part of preparation for a ground assault....
The ultimate conservative Chad move. Step1. Say whatever you think gives you the most cover, usually the exact opposite of what you have planned. Step2. Do the most evil thing possible. Step3. Hide behind religion.

Most poor people I know bust their ass more than most of the well to do people that I know. They make bad money choices or are hit by life and just can’t get out from under it.
The whole “rape or incest” addendum needs to be called out for being bullshit. This is just a distraction. Conservatives don’t care about this point but use it to demonstrate how reasonable they are. They are not reasonable. Same party talking about lowering the age of consent and marrying cousins. Never pay attention to their words, only their actions.

Everyone needs to leave these states. They don’t deserve you, the power or the money that comes from it all. Ghost towns and a couple of rich white dudes. Make plans and get out. The grass is greener.
“Iranians are spreading anti-regime graffiti in the streets of Iran and taking to social media to show support for the state of Israel after air strike in Damascus that killed IRGC commander”
Seems to be pictures of the same area. Pro a ly the same guy or group. I wonder if it is widespread or very isolated and just more or less a propaganda article?
I heard from an Afghanistan War vet once that all his cop friends didn’t think the public had enough knowledge or insight to understand the actions of the police. There is some fact there. A normal citizen might not understand that cops are taught from day one to fear everyone around them while also being lone warriors against the criminal zombie hoard. The thin blue line protecting white picket fences against the shadows. This is so obvious an authoritarian play. So mad these MAGA asshats stole my punk rock sole.
Shouldn’t even have to get to the payoff part. He cheated on his pregnant model wife with a meh porn star. Why this part is glossed over by his supporters baffles me.
“Given the importance of the trial schedule, the key practical question is whether the court focuses solely on Trump’s case or endorses immunity in other instances. Smith’s gambit is a fallback that would let the court order the trial to proceed even if its opinion extends to broader principles of immunity.”
