> [@dougrb](#): > > That’s a sad fact I have to admit to as of late. It does save time actually researching. How much “researching” do you have to do, when the Republicans are spreading their bullshit all over the front pages? At this point, I would think it would take more effort to avoid any actual information about what they’re doing. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > How much “researching” do you have to do, when the Republicans are spreading their bullshit all over the front pages? Unless you’re talking local elections. Yeah, everyone hears MTG’s oral incontinence, but when you’re looking at primary candidates in local elections in red-dominated areas, you need to be paying attention. I don’t care what party or what their views are on any other issue, but if a candidate even _hints_ at the 2020 election being stolen, I ain’t voting for them. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > I’ll say. It would have been more cost-effective (and therefore more fiscally responsible) to shoot it out of the solar system entirely. Yeah, but if you shoot it into the sun you get to see it destroyed in those cleansing solar flames. If you shoot it out of the solar system (energetically much cheaper) it’ll still be around and possibly hibernating, and in the future some unaware explorers might unwittingly release it on an unsuspecting galaxy. ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > Perhaps your first point? I’m not sure about the second one. It seems way too intellectual for magas. I mean, yeah he may, identify as “white” himself, but magas are, in the long run, going to take note of his name and the fact that his skin is not “white”. They were willing to use him to forward their cause, but I think if they’d gotten their way he would have been disposed of like a dirty, used, tissue But this is because you are viewing it from outside with the perspective of history on your side. Sure to you and me its clear that this is all racist bullshit and that he will be next on the chopping block. But from his perspective being racist against the other races make sense because they really are inferior beings, but he’s not inferior so he has nothing to fear. ---

Republicans around here tend to be moderates, and I’ve voted for them when I was convinced they were the better candidates in particular local races. But I’ve never yet voted for a Republican for Federal office, and I would certainly never vote for anyone at any level of government who either endorsed Trump or who even hinted that he or she was a 2020 election denier. ---

For exquisite schadenfreude, what I would really like would be a score card that shows every case and legal motion that was filed for and for against Trump or his campaign since November 2020 and whether the judge in his favbor. I’m sure somewhere on the great wide internet somebody has put this together. I suspect his win percentage is in the single digits. ---

I started this post in the “Trump Compared to Jesus Christ” thread in P&E, but it occurred to me as I composed it, that it would be better in the Pit. And this thread is probably the best place for it. So here goes: Trump compared to Jesus Christ? Well, let’s see … Jesus had a following. Trump has a following. Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” Trump said, “I’m not poor in spirits. I don’t drink them.” Jesus made wine out of water. Trump made whines out of bullshit. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Trump said, “I got the US involved in no wars.” Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” Trump said, “Let the little children suffer.” Jesus raised a man from the dead. Trump raised millions from the brain-dead. Jesus said, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s.” Trump implies, “Well, I might as well be Caesar, so just render unto me.” Jesus got arrested. Trump got arrested. So Trump does compare to Jesus. In a weird way, but they are comparable nonetheless. ---
