So I'm thinking maybe christianity should be forked to a new branch called "kirkianity" and it's accompanying set of laws should be called "Charlia Law"

You know, WW III is so boring and unimaginative. Why don't we call this, "The War Against Intelligence"?

The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know it And they don't want you to notice.

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.

That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

If CBS & ABC have bent the knee

And the Washington Post, NYTimes, & the LATimes have bent the knee

And the Congress & SCOTUS have bent the knee

All to a demented child rapist

Then it is all the more imperative that we the people never bend

We are who we have

So I have a question. If we can't tax billionaires, because they will leave why is that bad? Where would they go? If I move to another country, I still have to pay income taxes to the former US. I would have to give up my citizenship.

OBF has a special tactic for that. Stiff the creditors and declare bankrupcy.

This is feel-good propaganda from WP. They are no longer a trustworthy news source.

Trying to show that they are honoring immigrants who go through the legal process. There is plenty of public evidence of people being snatched in the process of fulfilling their legal requirments.
