I'll still get the greatest (s)hits because we talk about current events.

@baystaterinnc I don't know who reads old and new testament and believes everyone who believes or says praise Him enough gets lots of goodies like they got their own magic genie. @Jorro @Avidspark @catlynne333 @sazemisery

The United States is a nation of con artists, suspicious to the point of paranoia of sincerity, and yet deeply gullible of the most transparent frauds. What passes for "religion" in the U.S. is, more often than not, nothing other than a long-standing grift, so deeply embedded in national consciousness that most people are unable to see it as the long con it is.

They call it "heritage."

Vile. Last time Trump was elected, like-minded individuals spray-painted swaztikas and "build the wall" on our high school. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I will never for the life of me understand this crap.

Just overheard a Hispanic guy at my local coffee shop say he hopes the families of the “fucking Latinos for Trump” are the first to be deported.

Stephen Miller's uncle: “If my ancestors hadn't immigrated to the US when they did, if they waited a few more years until 1924, the door would have been shot. My parent would have gone up the Crematorium chimney. I wouldn't be born…and certainly Stephen would never have existed.”

It turns out Russia has been providing targeting data for the Houthis' attacks on merchant vessels.

That makes Russia an active participant in the Houthis' campaign against Western-linked shipping.

REPORT: Stephen Miller will serve as White House deputy chief of staff for policy under Trump. Miller has discussed a “turbocharged” program of denaturalization — that is, removing the citizenship of citizens who immigrated to the U.S. — to engage in mass deportations.

The» In my day people weren’t so easily offended.” line from MAGA boomers is crazy when you remember that in their day they would lose their shit when a black person used the same water fountain as them.

By 2014, [Homan] had begun to argue that separating children from their parents would be an effective means of discouraging illegal border crossings. Caitlin Dickerson describes him as the "intellectual father" of the policy. “Most parents don’t want to be separated,”

If "Trump comes back in January, I'll be on his heels coming back, and I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain't seen shit yet. Wait until 2025."

President-elect Donald Trump and his allies this year have repeated the baseless claim that Democrats were encouraging migrants to enter the country to illegally vote in the election.

The claims were amplified by Elon Musk, X’s billionaire owner and the platform’s most prominent voice, where right-wing influencers shared videos that purported to show evidence of such a plot.
