LOL JFC are they serious with this bullshit?
A more accurate headline would be, "Evangelicals are in the halls of power. This is the problem."

It is frustrating that he will likely win the primary simply because there are too many mediocre white men.

Yup - this is the whole "I have a black friend" thing people say before or after saying something racist as if it negates their racism.
Anyone who gets a tattoo of a totenkopf and says they didn't know and then ends up on an antisemites podcast has a problem. They are either lying or incompetent.

Military Leaders Say Iran War Is So Trump Can Bring About β€œArmageddon” Troops have logged more than 110 complaints about such comments with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

Christian fundies are annoying. Such disregard for our Constitution.

I have to say the Arator family drama actually turned out interesting. The whole reforging of the shield, to Turalyon saying no thanks kid, to him showing up after Arator and his mom did all the heavy lifting lol.

Zero evil detected. She looks like an absolute cutie 😊

I finished the campaign last night. I thought it was a fun storyline. I really enjoyed Zul'aman. Void Storm zone turned out to be better than I expected. So far, so good 😊

Yeah. Honestly most of what I do I could do on Linux now. VS Code and JetBrains IDEs all run on Linux. Just need to find a good window manager and desktop environment. This is what always broke me in the past. None of them ever felt as polished and snappy as MacOS.

I really loathe MacOS 26's Liquid Glass so much that I am seriously considering just sucking it up and going all-in on Linux on the desktop.

I still remember seeing it in the theater and being shocked that they took a big name like Drew Barrymore and killed her character inside the first 5 minutes. Total shock value lol πŸ˜‚

It’s taboo for me to say this, but it’s true: Israel is NOT a friend of the United States. Read about the USS Liberty incident if you want more information.

American lives will be lost for Israel’s cause.

Saying it again because it is true: healthcare is a human right.

That is really a sad state of affairs.
Our new law is so terrible. I was going to get an e-bike but after this law I decided it is simply not worth the headache or cost.

Yeah. We ceded our leadership in this area in Trump’s first term and lost so much credibility. It’s going to be hard to rebuild trust with other countries after this 😞

A no-brainer. But sadly nothing done on this front thanks to Nancy Pelosi. She basically knee-capped any attempts to ban insider trading by Congress from the democratic side of the aisle and GOP had a bunch that did so from their side.

As for POTUS he is in violation of emoluments clause.

Mitch put the Green New Deal up for a vote in congress and it failed. So it never passed and is not the rule of law. But Bobo doesn't understand how any of this works.

Stephen Miller is so eager to build out the ranks of his Stasi that some MS-13 members became ICE officers….

I have a friend who lives in France. First time I went there I saw a bunch of people on strike. I asked if it was a dispute over a contract. Nope. He says the French strike often because they always want to remind the people that THEY have the power. Collective action is our strength.

That's why standing up and calling out their bullshit now is so important. Show people the man behind the curtain. They do some Sun Tzu shit here - try to project strength when they are weak.

This is a first for him getting so much media attention from a non-hockey audience. Even when speaking to hockey audiences in post-games etc he tends to usually not have much to say. So he's definitely outside his comfort zone. Kid could use some media training.

And it is revealing things about people I wish I didn't know. I don't think Jack is MAGA, but he's clearly ignorant about the optics of this all. And his brother now playing in Minnesota and posting a vid of him with Patel is bad choice when Patel is refusing to prosecute ICE agents there.

Ugh. If I was credentialed press in that locker room I'd be willing to get fired just to call out a question, "Director Patel, how come there have been no arrests from the Epstein files?" just to put him on the spot.

What's so frustrating about this is how a wonderful event that was fun and pure and unifying was quickly politicized the moment that idiot Bill Guerin invited Kash Patel into the locker room followed by Trump inserting himself into this.

It is funny how the "keep politics out of sports" people are the same ones injecting politics into sports right now.

Perhaps the issue is a pigmentation one.....
