If something bad happens to a Liberal, or something good happens to a Conservative, it’s God’s will. If it’s the other way around, God had nothing to do with it. Probably a Liberal scheme. ---

“We don’t need a theologian as speaker.” So Bannon agrees with liberals if God doesn’t agree with him. ---

The harm that Trump alleged was being done was to him as a political office-seeker, not to him in his official capacity as president.” > > The problem is that this contradicts the idea Trump was acting in his official capacity — and therefore could have any immunity for his actions as president, according to Hayes. ---

Oh, I have no idea. I asked him what his screenname is, and he said “lolllll I was a TEEN when I was using that, I will be keeping that info to myself for now. Not even sure I remember the PW to the account.” ---

The late comedian Richard Jeni told a similar joke around 1997. After the player blames Jesus for the fumble/interception etc., he adds, “He _hates_ us!” ---

I remember a cartoon where the football player scores a touchdown and thanks Jesus. In the second panel Jesus is sitting on the couch watching hockey. ---
