Right wing "Christians" aren't concerned with the stories or messaging in their own religion; they don't even read the Bible.
They join specific churches because they find common ground with others who are eager to share in their hate. Naturally, an empty suit, fake Strongman, actual conman like Trump can easily convert them to his cult, as the Church has already primed them psychologically.
Zero Federal funds should go to any religious institution. Zero.
Business school calls it Escalation of Commitment.
I can't tell if you're kidding, but the homonym you're looking for is pear.
I have no problem with musicals.
Wicked was published in 1995. Making this movie might have made sense up to 2009, but now? It's a sentimental cash-grab. Same reason they're making Gladiator 2.
If the "policies" are to blame then the actual argument presented is, at its core: "I was just following orders."
Which is a crime for members of the military, and nazi rhetoric for the rest of the world.
The IG should be under investigation for gross incompetence next.
And the prosecutors will be disbarred and charged, yes? It's pathetic that the former DA isn't even named. So the system is still protecting the actual criminals.
They should serve 16 years, at a minimum, but 25-30 is fine.
Another movie(s) nobody asked for.
We have two parties. TWO.
The GOP is obviously never coming to anyone's aid. You think the DNC is going to somehow morph into a team of winners? They're categorical losers. They're a party of neoliberal minds, insulated from the outcomes of their own failures.
Yes, I'd like other options, and yes, the electorate should be inclusive. But the party that determines who runs and the party that sets strategy, and the party that is supposed to be fighting for the common person, is NOT.
And many of those party heads are incredibly old and out of touch, and frankly, just in the way, as they manufacture reasons why they continually lose, yet simultaneously grow their own wealth and influence. The duopoly of being the brightest and best political minds is not congruent with being perennial losers. So they're just not trying to win. That is not their goal. They are there to gratify themselves, while losing.
Freeloader states always begging for Federal bailouts.
If they cannot govern and refuse to adapt they are not worthy of investiture without change.
They should be given options to rectify their situation, but ANY Federal funds come with those strings attached.
Genx is 1965 – 1980.
At 65, he's 6 years too old to be Gen X.
lol, and just whom do you think that was?
Who is most likely to disseminate incorrect information? Who never bothers to verify facts? Who couldn't be arsed to apply critical thinking to the information presented?
Why do you think foreign agitators targeted Facebook in 2016 and beyond? It's because Baby Boomer rubes are the easiest targets available. Who voted for Brexit?
There's no critical thinking there, no challenging of statements. They just assume they'll fail upwards no matter what course of action they take, because for most of their lives that has been true.
Who do you think set the stage? Baby Boomers voted for 50 years to only enrich themselves while pulling up every ladder they had for advancement. They are 100% the "fuck you, I got mine" mentality.
Of COURSE we should have social safety nets and a more enlightened society. The reason we do NOT is that a massive cohort of incredibly narcissistic personalities had control of the government for 50 years. And even now, many Boomers refuse to step down from their "leadership" positions. "Generation Me" has been remarkably consistent in their attitudes, for roughly 55 years.
Not talking about politics is what got us into this situation in the first place.
Typical Boomer sentiment. "I never had to adapt or learn, despite having every opportunity, and now anytime someone doesn't cater to me, I'm offended."
Meanwhile Millennials have been riding an unceasing wave of technology advancement since elementary school, while learning all the fundamentals of Boomer educations, AND modern living AND adapting to changes in the information landscape and workplace. AND getting a significantly lower ROI for their efforts. Boomers broke the social contract. Their egg on the face bellyaching is just more evidence that the world has moved past them.
We need age caps on voting. These elderly chucklefucks are dragging us 100 years backwards.
Mandalorian is like a date that you're excited about and it starts off well, but as the evening progresses you realize there's just not much there.
Boba Fett was shoehorned into Mandalorian with overlapping plot lines, so, I guess to keep the metaphor, Book of Boba is your date's roommate that "randomly" bumps into you at the restaurant and you somehow end up buying them dinner too.
