We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

My response........

Man that was ACCUSED of "sexually assaulting" the mother of his children. It's golden when people who are Trump supporters post shit like this. It's like they completely forget and/or ignore that fact that your "grab 'em by the pussy" guy is the one who wished Ghislaine Maxwell "well" and has a long history of rape and sexual assault accusations against him. Serious question, why do Trump supporters not care that he is one of the biggest lying assholes and morally bankrupt scumbags on the face of the Earth but they are always quick to find fault with and criticize others? I know the answer but please feel free to try and feed me some defensive bullshit if you are so inclined.

Well, someone I know posted a picture of laser beams coming out of the sky hitting the earth and claimed it is proof that the west coast fires were intentionally set by Gavin Newsome and Nancy Pelosi.

Our great grandkids' great grandkids (if we're lucky it's that far out) are going to be astonished that BUT HER EMAILS led to the actual endangerment of the continued existence of human life on this planet.

Emails won't be what's remembered, but the sexism and disdain for her, for no other reason than Fox News and similar outlets spent 24 years leading up to the 2016 election bashing her.

(It should also be noted that not seeing this coming was one of many astonishing failures by the Democrats, also. Hillary was the very fucking worst candidate to put forward, and it was entirely foreseeable.])

And yet Trump got 40% of the vote through a crowded primary. Stupid thing is Hillary was decently popular as SoS and senator. Then when she showed ambition, she got all the hate again.

Much of the problem is the average primary voter is like 800 years old.

But yeah, it blows my mind that this and last election, Dems weren’t one bit able to advance a remotely inspiring candidate.

The 800 year old individual who screwed Democrats in 2016 and 2020 is Bernie Sanders. Don't blame the rest of older voters that one mean, angry shriveled old guy couldn't put his massive ego aside for the people that he pretends to be working for.

Lol, fuck you

"A Roman Catholic diocese in suburban New York became the largest American diocese to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday after being named in more than 200 sexual abuse lawsuits."

Tell me again why I'd be making society a better place by taking my family to church?!?

[ousdahl]

Tell me again why they’re getting undisclosed sums of taxpayer-funded bailout money?

I very much dislike this lady.

Ironic that Pubs call Dems "sheep" as a church goes bankrupt without the ability to sheer their flock of sheep of their hard earned wool that the church uses to dress their wolves like fellow sheep to allow them to continue to prey upon the lambs of their flock.

I wonder if Herman Cain’s survivors’ life insurance claim was rejected on the basis that his passing was a result of suicide/self inflicted causes?

Wonder if Loefler thinks that the Trump campaign should be held accountable for his death!

Imagine if all churchgoers in the US behaved in the manner set forth in this document released by the Pope. It's a fascinating read.

Maybe potus will paint the pope as a Radical Left Socialist

I talked to an old friend from the St. Lawrence center in college. She’s legit maybe the smartest person I’ve ever met, in terms of shear brain processing power, though she puts all that processing power toward affirming her hardcore Catholic world view.

We had a deep convo for like 2 hours, and it ultimately ended with “and though I wasn’t so hot on Trump on 2016, I think I’ll vote for him cuz of what he’s done with the last 4 years... never mind Biden is a fellow catholic, he’s not an ideologically pure enough catholic or whatever...”

Still trying to wrap my mind around it.

I believe that translates to "I vote on abortion and Dems support abortion rights so I will never vote for a Dem".

That is one of the many issues with religion I have. This notion that an allegedly "all loving God" is picking and choosing who is worthy of protection is gross. There's a lot of truly useful and wonderful things that can be gained from the teachings of the Bible but there are also a bunch of applications of religion that are fundamentally ignorant.
