These insane Xtians just need to STFU!

patheos.com

According to Religion News Service (RNS), organisers of the Jericho March™ have called on “patriots, people of faith and all those who want to take back America” to participate in their monkeyshines.

Marchers intend circling the Supreme Court building seven times while blowing ritual Jewish horns called shofars, aping the Israelites’ siege of the city of Jericho described in the Bible’s Book of Joshua. That will happen on January 5. A day later they plan on repeating this stupidity at the US Capitol building.

Meanwhile insane relatives will be in DC with their guns.

Had it with these ignorant Xtians who can take those shofars and shove them up their collective asses!

IT’s because it all comes from the same poisoned well: the Republicans have so successfully demonized the ideas of expertise and professional politicians that the assumption of the opposite being the solution, that of amateurs with shallow political knowledge and even shallower expertise, has taken root. It’s all the same pathology and lionizing of straight up ignorance. Meanwhile, the actual problem of amoral and selfish politicians abusing the process and projecting, gaslighting, abuse of power, and exploitation, has become assumed of politics and politicians in general that there’s no way to actually convince people that maybe some of those career pols have the better good in mind, even when they can’t wave a goddamn magic wand and make it happen instantly.

All we can really do is document the insanity and cruelty that Christianity allows and promotes, in the event they bring about the downfall of our civilisation.

Did the wingnut Christian singer who was going to intentionally spread God’s love Covid-19 amongst the homeless in Los Angeles get blocked? There was a group of people who said they would surround him with cars to prevent him from spreading Christian love plague.

Pastor Mocked Follower’s COVID Death in Sermon: “He’s Weak… He Has No Faith” (Friendly Atheist)

Not long ago, a 71-year-old man named Les Tom died of COVID, and his funeral was held at his church: Michiana Christian Embassy in Niles, Michigan.

But earlier this month, on December 13, Lead Pastor Rev. Jeffrey Whittaker delivered a sermon in which he appeared to mock Tom for catching COVID — as well as his family members and other congregation members for taking COVID precautions during that funeral service.

(with video of the sermon in question)

There’s a reason both Christianity and the GOP go well together: They are both death cults.

Money? Probably none to be had, or goes to lawyers in the class-action suit.

Political punishment? Yes, I’ll never vote for the GOP in this state again until all the sedition-weasels are gone. And contribute to any of their opponents.

Just checking out more Lin Wood insanity. I was going to suggest that wealthy liberals might actually have bribed him to sabotage Republican prospects in the Georgia runoff. After all, what would be different if they had? Then I found out how wealthy he is from his share in various high profile cases in the 90s, so now I am leaning toward something else, in addition to the obvious batshit insanity. The Russians aren’t the only ones who can play the kompromat game. The question is, who has the goods on him? Fascist billionaires seeking actual war? Democrats looking for sabotage? A foreign actor (not necessarily Russians)?

More than that, he’s a humanist — meaning, he takes his moral compass from his own mind. He has little-to-no concern with the stuff of higher authority — the constraints that come from fears of heavenly accountability.

An atheist in charge of U.S. government, policy, economics, education and constitutional freedoms, as they relate to coronavirus response — what could go wrong, right?

He’s unelected. He’s largely unaccountable to the people. He’s atheist, which speaks volumes about his character, his moral compass and his understanding of American Exceptionalism and basic founding and constitutional principles. And he’s just been outed for lying.

The path is clear: He has to go.

My sister and I had a disagreement about a couple local candidates; in one case, it was a Democratic incumbent who had been attacked for bad decisions she had made in office; the other was a Republican incumbent who apparently is very well respected. I told my sister that I refuse to vote for a Republican for any office* as long as the party is in thrall to the Trumps and McConnells of the world (*sole exception is for judge if the Democrat is deemed unqualified by the various rating agencies). The Republican party has forfeited all legitimacy and should be considered a treasonous organization that must be purged from the body politic for our nation to survive. Unfortunately, more than 74 million Americans don’t share that view and therefore the odds of our long-term survival are not encouraging.

* House of Representatives voted to approve $2,000 stimulus checks
* ‘Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society,’ McConnell said
* On New Year’s Day, vandals struck the San Francisco home of Nancy Pelosi
* House was spray painted while the head of a dead pig was left nearby
* The graffiti on Pelosi’s home reads ‘cancel rent’ and ‘we want everything’
* ‘2k’ is written on the garage and then crossed out, a reference to $2,000 stimulus checks Pelosi was pushing for

Trump’s NYC eateries written up for ‘live mice,’ other ‘critical’ health code violations in recent months (New York Daily News, February 17, 2019)

Mice in the kitchen, filthy food prep areas and broken sewage systems are on the list of recent stomach-turning health code violations at a number of Trump-branded restaurants in the city, the Daily News has learned.

Health inspections at Trump properties from Midtown Manhattan to the Bronx’s Ferry Point reveal the President’s eponymous company still struggles to keep its day-to-day operations clean — though similar infractions have been reported for years.

Violations at the President’s crown jewel and Manhattan residence — Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue — are perhaps the most gag-inducing.

City Department of Health inspectors visited the tower’s cafe and grill on July 11, 2018 and found “evidence of mice or live mice” in and around the kitchen, according to records that haven’t previously been reported. The inspectors categorized the violation as “critical.”

It’s what you get when all you do is pocket the profits and don’t reinvest in your businesses and the people who work there. And understaffing and not paying the workers you do have shit.

I know it’s anecdotal, but everyone I know who is from NYC or State hates Trump. Long before his presidency and campaigning. He was a known scumbag, racist, cheap as fuck and treated everyone around him like shit, it’s who he is. If we had decent media, instead of all those republicans in diners, if they had interviewed New Yorkers and what they know about him, we might not be facing Proud Boys trying to fuck up an inauguration or congressional idiots playing games with democracy.

You need to care, usually spend money, and hire good people to keep an establish up to standards. Which is not the Trump way.

“Mice or live mice” pretty much means the inspectors are finding mouse droppings.

I recall restaurants in Pittsburgh that were “B” rated since the building was structurally unable to reach code to get an “A” card. It was in a stretch of old buildings dating back to the early 1900s and in a historic district.

Trump Offers New Details On ‘Wild’ Rally To Protest Election Results, And D.C. Authorities Are Gearing Up For It

As the clock ticks down on Republicans’ last-ditch effort to overturn the presidential election results during a congressional meeting on January 6, President Donald Trump offered up new details about a same-day rally for supporters that has D.C. authorities prepping with measures similar to those ahead of pro-Trump protests in December that led to four stabbings and 33 arrests.

Just poking around Tesla’s Website for new cars, they don’t deliver to my Zip Code. Quelle surprise.

They’re too expensive anyway. The standard range Model 3 is twice the cost of my house, and will get me as far as Scottsbluff or Sidney and back. The long-range version would be sufficient in range but approaches three times my house.

I don’t make that kind of money.

This is what I call the mediation mentality. It’s bothsiderism. One side can’t be wronged, both have to concede something. It’s horseshit. Would a murder victim make concessions to their murderer? Would a rape victim make concessions to their rapist?

I’m tired of being sucked into their bullshit, dragged on a playing field full of literal Nazis and nuts.

Before covid: a walk between 5:30 and 6AM, coffee and breakfast at the same time, scan the paper while eating, shave and brush teeth, and out the door to my office, where while doing work also scanning LGF and a few other sites. Back at 4 or 5, another walk. Shower, eat, do some more work while scanning. Bed.

Now: Dog comes into room to jump on bed and sit on my head to apparently send a mesage, usually at the established time ante-pandemic. I struggle to make coffee as the dog says, ‘I gotta poo!’; we go for the walk, I feed her, have coffee, and then read the paper and do the crossword puzzle; then I go upstairs to lie back down for awhile and tour the internet—-the dog now comes upstairs in a Pavlovian response the sound of old box springs groaning under my weight; she curls up against me and makes butt contact. I want to stay that way all day, but alas….

No, it’s part of his tax evasion plan, if you remember from the Screw York Times series that was hitting shortly before the election. He claims a massive loss on his properties so that he can write it off as a tax break.

It would still be interesting to know if Trump received the $600 Covid relief check this time, and the $1200 check last year.

In the meantime, I’m still waiting for my $600, though my bank hasn’t officially posted my credit card payment that I put in on 1/1 so I imagine it’ll magically show up on Monday at the opening of business.

It’s taken me some time to sort out the difference between this and a standard “OK” sign. Though I’m going to avoid using that one as much as possible, given how easily it can be confused.

I started realizing how much I used the OK sign when the white power sign started showing up. Now I feel like apologizing every time I use it as OK, and I’m trying to stop using it altogether.

I’ve never really used the okay sign but do use 👍, although Trump has ruined that one with his short-fingered thumps up.

A good friend of mine is opening a bar in town here…next FUCKING week.

Now, of course I’m in a red state where the governor has vowed there will never be another lockdown and there is no enforcing of any punishment for people who fail to follow Covid guidelines.

I tried to convince him to push his opening date back to at least the spring but he wasn’t having it.
