If somebody posted this to a Jewish person, it would be seen (rightfully) as grossly antisemitic.

He actually said that workers don't WANT holidays.
My cousin is a woman Episcopal priest. Her mother, the atheist, lives in California and every Lent she cuts palms from the palm trees to send her daughter for use on Palm Sunday.
"People not cars." Drivers are people. You know how many people are in those buses? You know how many disabled people NEED the bus? How many people are inconvenienced by closing this road to anyone not on a bike?

I've always been more of a sparrow, myself.
Teilhard de Chardon was a Jesuit Priest and a paleontologist. One of the discoverers of Peking Man.
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
Interesting. September 1 is Orthodox New Year, and I wonder if that's why it was chosen.
NOBODY bad-mouths the US more than Donald Trump.
I know a trans person and her partner who wrote Newsom that they wouldn't support him UNLESS he changes his stance on trans people.
Name one thing that Republicans have proposed to prevent mass shootings. "We have to get over it." - Trump
I would think the fact that the nation's top health official doesn't believe in medical science would be bit of a big deal. I mean, at least as serious as Howard Dean yelling at a rally.
Ok. Then DO something. Praying without acting is a mockery of prayer.
But he won't actually do a damn thing to help.
And the murderers were acquitted.
The really stupid thing about these photos is they're telling burglars "This is the house you want to rob." Burglars break in when nobody is home, and those guns are worth a LOT.
There is something incredibly sick about blaming all the problems on the people with no power.
And that's why he wasn't indicted. If he was charged with 3rd-degree assault, they'd have indicted. But the jury said, "A FELONY? For throwing a sandwich? Are you KIDDING?" Pirro is an idiot and - like every Trump appointee - completely incompetent.
Prayers are fine. As a legislator, your job is to also try to do something.
Yes, that helps. A legislator offering only prayers and not action is a mockery of prayer. That's not what this is. This a gesture of support.
Yes, we should do NOTHING to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them. The founders would just sit on their asses while children were routinely murdered, right? Because your FUCKING MACHINE is more important the children's lives, right? "Family values," my ass!
I used to drive to Dutchess County several times in November. Took 1 1/4 hours. This year I had no car and took a train. 3 hours. 6 hours traveling total. And somebody had to pick me up at the train station and drive me the rest of the way.
Because they're dictators and needed to persecute the guy, not just arrest him. If they charged him with 3rd-degree assault they'd get an indictment. But no, they had to try and destroy him with a Felony. So the jury said, "A FELONY? For throwing a sandwich? You fuckin kidding? Getouttahere!"
What if the medical staff is thanking God? Doctors are a fairly religious group.
The NRA is tax exempt while children are gunned down in school, but you want to shut down the poor neighborhood's soup kitchen, food pantry, thrift shop, and after-school program.
The vast majority of pastors have very little money. But I agree with you about the ones who live lavishly. But the same is true of some CEO's of secular nonprofits. So tighten up the laws for ALL of them. Wayne La Pierre is filthy rich. The NRA is still tax exempt.
One reason for that might be that the behavior of Christians has made people not want Christianity.
Your opinion of what is "misinfo" is irrelevant. Conservatives think GLAAD spreads misinfo. That's irrelevant, they're still tax exempt. I think the NRA spreads misinfo. That's irrelevant. Do you really think tax law should be based on "What Graham Pringle agrees with"?
That include the NRA?
Is anyrhing more hysterical than Charlie Kirk giving masculinity advice to a football player?
That's because Charlie Kirk is a small, weak, insecure man.
Public amenities attract residents, and lots of residents attract businesses. And businesses use the things taxes pay for more than ANYONE.
Why are the rich in New York and California NOW? Lots of places have lower taxes. Because they don't need a tax cut. They need CUSTOMERS. They need employees. Especially educated employees.
Ah. So they don't sell a product at all. So they are nonprofit and sell nothing, like any other non-profit corporation. I know this will come as a shock, but you aren't charged to go to church.
Every nonprofit - secular or religious - asks for donations. That's the source of income. Because they don't sell a product. And most people no longer use the basket to donate.
So we should make tax policy on the basis of what you, personally, don't like.
I wonder if some people realize that the NRA is tax exempt. Also some groups whose politics I agree with, like GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation).
I get the feeling that some atheists were Christian fundamentalists, and they changed the details, but not the black/white way of thinking. Yhey went from "If you're not a Christian, there's something wrong with you!" to "If you're not an atheist, there's something wrong with you!"
So a poor person sits in jail for three years awaiting trial, theoretically presumed innocent, while a person with money stays out of jail for three years awaiting trial, even though they're accused of the same crime. How does that make any sense?
So the 1st Century Christians followed Nero, I suppose.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Governor Wes Moore is going on offense and calling out Republicans for being the political party that is promoting government taking away your everyday freedoms. This is how you flip the script. ~ Democratic Wins Media ~
No, any extreme ideology does that, secular or religious.
We pretend we hate each other, but it's a sibling rivalry.
Joseph Heller's Catch-22 uses "infundibuliform." That one sent me to the dictionary.
Stan Lee never skimped on the vocabulary, and those were comic books.
If you're more offended by Cracker Barrel changing it's stupid logo than you are by Government thugs jumping out of cars and brutalizing people who never harmed anyone - you might be conservative.
He claims to be Presbyterian. 5th Avenue Presbyterian Church is across the street from Trump Tower, and he was never seen in the place.
"Bonus tracks" are songs that were left out of one of the best albums ever because they weren't good enough. If people want to listen to them, fine. But don't pretend they belong on the original album.
This is St. Paul's Catholic Church in Lincoln Center, NYC. stpaultheapostle.org/get-involved...
Ok. If we are discussing transgenderism, how do you say "not transgender"?
They aren't all the same. LGBTQIA+? It's cumbersome, but are we just supposed to not mention gay people? On the other hand "cultural appropriation" is silly. I don't even know what it means. A white guy playing the blues? An Asian person playing Mozart? What?
I would love where the hell he finds Biblical backing for ICE raids.
Stay away from young teenagers. A 14-year-old having boobs doesn't mean you aren't a criminal pervert.
Science fiction taught us that AI would produce factual information, but use stilted language: "I do not know what you are asking." Turns out it's pretty good at natural sounding language, but it's all vague bullshit, or completely false.
Is it illegal to defend yourself against someone who is trying to harm you and won't prove that he's law enforcement?
I have this on 78.
"Trump has to be the most heavily investigated person in America, ever." He has 34 felony CONVICTIONS. Innocent people don't ask the Supreme Court to rule that they're allowed to commit crimes.
"He likes beautiful women as much as I do, and some of them are on the younger side." He OBVIOUSLY knew about it.
I wonder what a sex trafficker who participated in multiple instances of child rape considers "inappropriate."
I would like to know what a sex trafficker who aided multiple instances of child rape considers "inappropriate" behavior.
If you're taking children hostage - like Hamas - you're a bad guy. And if you starve civilian populations - like Israel - you're a bad guy. I don't see how this complicated: Sometimes, they're BOTH bad guys.
Ray Charles did a great "Swanee River."
50s has to count, too.
Sarcasm.
The game of Monopoly was invented by a socialist to demonstrate that land ownership always led to massive income inequality.
One sure way to get to heaven is to terrorize homeless people.
He was abusive, but we know that because he said so himself. He owned it, condemned himself and his behavior, and changed.
At least it will keep them out of my neighborhood.
Lies that hurt somebody's business are actionable. Claiming that a voting machine company rigs its machines to give false results is one hell of a serious charge. And Newsmax should be put out of business for it.
Mortified that the leadership of... Europe... has to come here b/c we couldn't bother to hire a competent woman for the job & instead re-hired a child rapist insurrectionist felon who happens to be Putin's little lap bitch. What Zelenskyy must sit through is now our eternal shame. #SlavaUkraini 🌻
It's a bad analogy. And if you think "lawyer" is unimportant, you've never needed one.
California is the country's biggest agricultural state. I also wonder what reality you inhabit where anyone who isn't a farmer does nothing but play video games.
Loving County, TX, has 48 people. Los Angeles County has about 10 million. Apparently, this crazy lady thinks they should have the same electoral clout.
I’d like to live in a country where they’re more outraged over children being murdered in our schools than a guy sleeping on a bench
I'm impressed.
There was a magazine called Hit Parader that just had the lyrics of the current hits.
Look, a shooting in Paducah, Kentucky. www.wsiltv.com/news/crime/p...
Thomas Chatterton was a 17-year-old forger who committed suicide when his "discoveries" were found to be forgeries.
The Republicans have been calling ANY Government regulation "socialism" for decades. Social Security? Socialism! Public parks? Socialism! Saying that corporations shouldn't be allowed to poison the drinking water? Socialism! And then they wonder why young people think socialism might not be so bad.
Perhaps an award for “Breakout Autocrat”?
The hardest jobs I ever had were the lowest paid. No exceptions.

Amazon gets almost $5 billion in Government subsidies. Why are taxpayers helping to fund the company of a guy who has $200 Billion dollars?
Actually, North Korea may be the world's only officially atheist state.
And Trump seems to find that amusing.
The Holy Spirit probably wants Bishop Barron to stop supporting an antichrist.
Thank you for shifting the goalposts from the origin of religion to the origin of monotheism. By the way, an Egyptian Pharoah was either monotheistic or henotheistic in the 13th century BCE.
What point are you making? That religion went from polytheistic to henotheistic to monotheistic? If so, so? Doesn't the fact that it goes to the Sumerians and evil before that indicate that it might be instinctive and not just some weird thing that you, personally, don't get?
Or people have an instinctive sense of the Numinous, but see through a glass darkly, so everybody doesn't see the same thing when they try to discern what they only sende. Only fundamentalists are certain they're absolutely right and everybody else is absolutely wrong.
The vast majority of humans now and throughout history have been theists. The religious impulse appears to be instinctive. So maybe you're just narrow and don't get something that most other people get.
Wow, that's facile.
I think we should replace the phrase "throw down the gauntlet" with "throw the sandwich."
Theism may predate homo sapiens. It CERTAINLY predates the Bronze Age.
You appear to believe that all theists use the Bible. Theism LONG predates the Bible. And really: "God doesn't exist. There."? Well, I guess your bald assertion overrules the vast majority of people now and throughout history. Neil said it, I believe it, and that settles it.
