I just really don’t understand why Virginia doesn’t go ahead with redistricting. Make them sue us for a change. Of course gop is never going to give us permission and frankly it makes us feckless and impotent to ask.
From Sunday's Jaysus-fest in DC: "Yes, it's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand," [radio evangelist] Metaxas said.
Ah, so it's "god's plan" to have that WH ballroom...well, alrighty! Done and dusted, praise da Lord.
These snake oil salesmen posing as proselytizers of Christianity would say exactly the same thing about Zachary Taylor in the 1800s or Calvin Coolidge in the 1920s, if these snake oil sales people had lived in those times. Whoever the oligarch du jour, or the bigot of the month happens to be, rampant hyperbole is their most common toxin, and they add it to every ointment, tincture, powder, or whatever other quack cure-alls the televangelists and Alex Joneses of the world are constantly trying to lure you into purchasing so they can pull a fast one on you and sit at home rejoicing in the joy of ridiculing you for handing your hard earned cash over to a complete fraud.
We are in deep, deep, dark water as a country, and the state-supported embrace of Christian nationalism yesterday on the National Mall is but one currently flashing red DANGER sign. Here be monsters.
I’m agnostic myself (after being raised protestant), but if I were a practicing Christian I would have a hard time convincing myself that DJT isn’t the Antichrist.
I truly wish people would quit dissing God for the problems mankind causes. He granted us "free will" and gave us a decent primer to live by. We have abused the free will ever since. Leave God out of "our" failures.
David, this was a grim Monday report. That doesn't mean we throw in the towel and walk away. We persist and move forward!
trump corruption, continued — re: the Judd Legum revelations...
As I remarked elsewhere, this second term of trump's is dedicated to full-on self-enrichment, with virtually ZERO constraints on how he does it, and with ZERO regard for the American public or his shite GOP. It's just looting whilst the getting is good, fearing no consequences for his shameless and illegal acts. And who's to say he's not right?
They behave as if there are no consequences because there aren’t any — at least any with teeth, thanks to SCOTUS and self-neutered Congress. And because they never intend to cede power again.
There's got to be some legitimate legal theory, one that would hold up in court and on appeal, that says that judicial scrutiny cannot be undermined by withdrawal by plaintiff of a plaintiff’s claim, when the plaintiff’s sole stated purpose of the withdrawal is to commit a fraudulent act free from that same judicial scrutiny that would otherwise be happening but for the decision to commit a fraud and remove the scrutiny from that same fraudulent act.
The "Quote of the Day' nailed it.

Alas, God apparently has no plan for feeding starving children or providing healthcare for those in need of it.
He works in mysterious ways, you know.
It is so pitiful.

A tool of the Antichrist at the very least.

I always thought God had the best job in the world—credit for all the good things and never blame for the bad.

Of course they all do it. If there’s a law that isn’t enforced it’s not really a law.

This pragmatic progressive is sick of regressing!👊👊👊🌊💙🌊💙
