A stake high councilman gave a talk in sacrament meeting in my ward praising Trump's press secretary as a model for our daughters. I live in a blue city in a blue state. The church may be changing, but it's two steps forward and 1 and nine-tenths back.
This is really unfair. To Satan. The Devil, after all, tortures the wicked only.
He asked for ice cream!? You know who else likes ice cream? JOE BIDEN!!! This gay indoctrination turned your kid into a librul!
I want a button-down with the same pattern as your dress. Also, congrats! A well-earned endorsement!
*she
Now he'll have to settle for head of Homeland Security.
What did AZ do to address the reasons FluMist was ineffective from 2016-2018? I like the concept of inhaled vaccines, but how confident can we be that this will be as effective as the injection?
Nah. He's too much of a grifter to provide actual, physical products. He'd sell them as NFT trading cards.
It's such a ridiculous threat. She's a public figure. And Epstein made the same claim...on tape. Even if she can prove that Epstein didn't introduce her to Don (and she can't) how could she prove that Hunter didn't believe what Epstein claimed? This threat is abuse of our legal system.
What about former Mormons?
And #12 says that we believe in "in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law." Yet Trump's not really into that either. Come to think of it, he seems to have a real problem with #11 as well.
Hero goes back to 1937 and is unlikely to share an etymology with the Greek gyro. They are two different sandwiches. Which makes sense as the hero is nothing like a gyro. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submari...
That'd work, too. But hero is a sandwich like a sub.
"Assault" or "a salt"?
He's my hero. Though he's just a po' boy, he stood face to open-face and braved the police club, as if to say to us all, "don't let the bastards grinder you down!"
No. It's true. Crime in DC is out. of. control! I just turned on the TV and they were showing Washington DC live and right there was this pedophile and convicted felon confusing Alaska for Russia.
I heard she smells.
Parmesan?! And cream?! If anything, they under-reacted.
All of the Kennedys were/are terrible with the exception of Rosemary. Our misfortune to be around for the political ascendency of their very worst.
Yeah... I don't think it's that hard a choice for them. I mean, if they were capable of moral reflection, they'd have left already.
At least he'll still be able to score bit parts in films within the prestigious Christian movie industry. www.imdb.com/title/tt3235...
chicken nuggets are chicken nuggets for adults
Ugh. Yeah. I know. Because it's not controversial like "equality" inexplicably is.
But it should be renamed and Wyoming could do worse than "Equality Peak." I did, however, like their first suggestion of "Nellie Tayloe Ross Peak" better. Of course, MAGA will spin this as "erasing history" and "woke assault on our heritage" because protecting pedophiles is style on the right now.
Mine is a pentatarian, monotheistic faith called Voltronism. Basically, God is five distinct entities, but they are also one. Like a cannabis leaf. Also God is also God's parents, who are in an ethical, nonmonogomous relationship and would definitely never impregnate a teenager.
Hey, bros. I know how you can find girlfriends! Join a political movement dedicated to stripping away rights from women. That'll definitely get you some.
Because they began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world, that they began to be scornful, one towards another, and they began to persecute those that did not believe according to their own will and pleasure.
The subtitle should have been "the most serious jobs, the most unserious nutjobs."
Goddam. Would we all be better off with only atheists in office? Very likely. Will overt atheists win the majority of public offices in the near future? No. So let's exercise a little civic ecumenicalism and support good Christians when the alternative is shit Christians.
This organization routinely praises America's dictator for his "bold action to secure our borders" from black and brown people. Overpopulation alarmists are inextricably linked to racist priorities. Ironically, so too are many depopulation alarmists (e.g. Musk).
Nor is this new. It is no accident that 1970s era Erlich-inspired anti population growth morphed into the racist anti-immigration movements that gave us MAGA's America First restrictionism. Erlich was, in fact, on the board of Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) until 2003.
Hand-wringing about "overpopulation" almost always has a backdrop of racism. Because those places where population is growing fastest are in and around Africa, calls to curb growth seem inevitably directed towards the globally disadvantaged.
That's exactly what someone who is a leader in the Mormon church would say. Are you saying this because the Mormon church fed this to you, Dan? 😉
The really bad thing about Jeffrey Epstein is that he paid his employees better than Trump did?
Since Colbert lost his job for criticizing Trump, yeah. It proves that he was brave. He put something on the line in order to tell the truth and he paid a price for it that he wouldn't have, had he played along to get along.
Idk. Alarms are good things. I'm a fire alarmist. If there's fire in my building, I'd pull the fire alarm. Remember that you're talking to a lot of people who think that the term "alarmist" is already overused and has lost what little negative connotation it already had. What about "baby killers"?
My kids think that Tom Waits is too weird. I mean, he is. But that's why he's the best. I could fall asleep listening to my kids' music. Waits is never boring.
Dude, Trump makes Nixon look like Honest Abe in comparison.
Let's assume, for the moment, that everything that happened at SCOTUS over the last decade didn't actually happen.
Do they not know who Barbara Streisand is in France?
It's an indictment on today's America that we went through all of that and collectively decided that the best things he did needed to be undone and the worst things he did needed to be amplified by orders of magnitude.
I'm not trying to make excuses for Bush. His incompetence cost lives. GWOT was a failure. Torturing detainees was unforgivable.
GWB instituted PEPFAR because a close friend told him that Africans were dying. He tried to get a guest worker program to legalize undocumented immigrants. After 9/11 he told America that Muslims weren't our enemy. He made so many mistakes, but MAGAism is far more vile than GWBism ever was.
Sure, he may have raped her and many others while exploiting children in order to build his cult following, but I think we can all agree that Tim Ballard is the real victim here. I mean, is there nothing more sacred than internal documents and nothing more depraved than their violation? /s
At least have the intellectual honesty to pull a Mo Udall who, after losing the Dem nom to Carter in '76, responded, "The people have spoken. God damn them."
Whether or not JD knew beforehand, I like that people are suggesting that he did. MAGA is distinguished not just by their hatred but by their propensity for opportunistic backstabbing. May they all end up lying face down and bloody.
Could we find consolation in the fact that effete and racist was more easily thwarted among ignorant voters than boorishly populist and racist?
God, he sure is desperate to distract from Epstein.
There was a lot bad in that movie. Nothing so bad as making the murderer of billions the love interest. I mean, do we need a love story for Hitler x 1000 (not to give MAGA ideas)? Give him a redemption arc? Okay. But he's still going to hell and he should not get the girl at the end of the movie.
Much of the world calls it some derivative of benzene, which is less correct than calling it gas, since it can exist in a gaseous state, but will never as benzene.
The Germans call it "benzin" which... isn't better. It's way worse. In fact, since it is from its gaseous state that gasoline combusts, calling it "gas" is not really as incorrect as you might think.
Welp. It's like the proverb says, "spare the bear, spoil the child."
It is fun to watch, but "stupidest conspiracy theory"? There's a lot of competition. Is pizzagate really stupider than Jewish space lasers? Honestly, I don't really know.
Realignment is real, people!
He didn't fool me. It's just that he lied to me and I believed him.
Oh! Is it time now because Trump has proven that he respects the law and constitution? Is it time now because he has proven his detractors wrong? Or is it time now because fascists are tired of being called fascists?
She won't testify until Trump promises a pardon. Then she'll ever so conveniently "exonerate" him.
Just be glad you didn't get the John Carpenter rats.
This is true mostly because terrorists don't kill many people. The US has also saved tens of millions of lives through USAID and PEPFAR. It's an embarrassment and a shame Trump has stopped these programs. The USA is complicated, but we used to be, on balance, a force for good. Today, we are not.
I wonder if Zak has ever been to a church. Or on facebook.
Bluesky has bots too. Just look at my followers list! Indeed, we are small.
Pugs. No one can look at a pug and say, "now that's the epitome of a healthy animal." Mid-sized mutts make the best pets.
holy shit!
Expansion is really the only obviously constitutional option for reforming the court anyway. The number of justices has fluctuated through American history, even if steady over the last century. Term limits? Rotation schemes? Those will not stand up to legal scrutiny. Adding a few justices will.
America's Hitler.
Yeah. That was deserved. 😉
I didn't know you moved. Utah's loss.
Dude, that looks delicious! How do you keep the lemon sauce from breaking?
Well... 77,302,580 morons.
It's really so disrespectful to maintain such low standards of personal grooming in the LDS church!
Or in a place with Ron DeSantis.
Can't believe we swapped Bob Bennett (a genuinely decent human being) for this asshole. #tradingdown
Wish they had an app for android.
I'm not one to celebrate the death of anyone, but I can mourn the life that Jimmy Swaggart led. His dehumanization of the LGBT, Muslims, Mormons, Catholics and Jews should be a stark reminder that Christian Nationalism is no friend of the Latter-Day Saints.
Forgiveness, rather than extension of grace to those who are less fortunate and powerless, is more often, in contemporary Christianity, an excuse to exonerate the powerful and unrepentant. I'm not one to celebrate any person's death. But I can mourn how he spent his life and influence.
Why can't Christians say, "I forgive you...but I no longer trust you and it will take more than an apology from you to regain that trust." And in the case of Trump, they don't even need an apology. "God forgives him and so do I" they say in dismissal of his many documented violations of god's law.
I can appreciate the healing that forgiveness often brings, but it does us disservice (Christianity in particular) to conflate the act with restoration of trust. Swaggart was an adulterer. Sure. He was also a hypocrite. And saying you're sorry when you get caught is not a sign of real contrition.
How did they screw up so big? And this seems to put lie to the argument that Zohran won just because of all those socialist college kids. He unquestionably brought in more from younger age groups, but the primary electorate represented a broad demographic distribution across generations.
Me, furiously replacing all "trans" and "cis" prefixes in my chemistry proposals to "E" and "Z."
What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Most scientist believe that organic food is not better for you and is probably worse for the environment than comparable conventionally produced food.
As my wife can tell you, rearranging furniture is a serious crime.
I wouldn't overthink this. Zohran is a good campaigner and Cuomo is a sex pest.
I'm of two minds on the "he gets us" campaign. Christianity is not going away, so popularizing the idea of a compassionate, accepting Jesus has societal value. But this being funded by Hobby Lobby owners makes me think that woke Jesus is intended as a gateway god for intolerant Christianity.
That's not really fair. He could also be telling a group of children about orgies on his friends' yacht.
Can they opt out of lessons invoking "lost cause" themes for the Civil War if they have a religious reason to believe that slavery is wrong?
It has been a nearly life-long goal of mine to disappoint Alan Dershowitz at every opportunity.
Courts being used for publicity stunts is one of many degrading features of politics. But, I mean, it is kinda funny.
So... Judicial review should be toothless, then?
Gary is awesome. Will you be involved?
Dammit, Donnie! Stop trying to get me to like Massie.
How likely would he be to get one through, though? Was this a real campaign promise or an aspirational campaign slogan or a bargaining chip for something more achievable? I honestly don't know. I know little about NYC politics. But it seems worth asking.

TACO, however, remains undefeated.
Wish more people took it seriously.
