By making the case that the war with Iran is a holy crusade, the evangelicals around the president are making it impossible to end.

    There’s a name badge in that picture so I looked it up. Apparently Alveda King, MLK’s niece, is on the board of “Black Voices for Trump”. MLK must be rolling in his grave.

    Further evidence, if any more were needed, that these pig-ignorant sisterfucking hucksters should be taxed for interfering in politics, and better yet, should be institutionalized.

    I’m pretty sure that’s how they justified the Crusades.

    It is so unlike for far-right religious leaders to side with pedophiles, I am very surprised.

    MAGA and religious zealots are like two peas in a pod, ready to use fear, disinformation and wealth for their purpose of subjugation, oppression and even genocide.

    US was justifying its genocides in the middle-east by “they are religious extremists.” How much of it was projection?

    Imagine believing that your all powerful god is so weak that he has to wait on you to start the end of the world. Pathetic.

      It’s even more comical than that. Their own scriptures say that nobody will know the time of the end of the world. “I will come as a thief in the night.” But in their arrogance, they think they can force God’s hand.

      Fundies never fail to escalate the stupidity and to stir up shit for the rest of us.

    Religiosity has been in decline in the US, hopefully the ultra performative sect that’s influencing him makes it happen even faster.

    If they are so desperate to die, they can do it by themselves and leave the rest of us out of it.

      If you lived the miserable, joyless, superstitious, sexually dysfunctional, paranoid, clueless life that one of them lives, you’d probably want to join a death cult too.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
