Maybe they’ll all play Bridge.
But in a Condo in South Beach on a floor high enough to have ‘a great view’.
The guy who owns the company running the Arizona “audit” appears in a movie that claims the election was stolen.
Liberty University ran a quote from John F. Kennedy on their Facebook page that said, “There are people in Washington, D.C., in positions of power to whom the border is just a nuisance, and I think some of them believe that illegal immigration is a moral good. It is not.”
Turns out it was from right wing Louisiana Senator John Kennedy. They had to delete the quote.
Not sure where to put this, so I’ll just put it here.
Turns out that Toyota is the largest contributor to the Republicans who voted not to certify the Presidential election. When called out on it, Toyota replied, "We do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification.
“Based on our thorough review, we decided against giving to some members who, through their statements and actions, undermine the legitimacy of our elections and institutions.”
hashtag BoycottToyota is trending on Twitter.
I wonder if that “error” was intentional. Like sometimes a district or defense attorney might want to implant thoughts into the minds of the jurors by saying things they know the judge will subsequently instruct the jury to disregard. The jury can’t un-hear what they’ve heard, and the damage is already done by possible prejudicial thoughts affecting one’s opinion.
A twist on push-polling.
I don’t know if it was intentional in this case. Its easy to believe that someone saw a quote listed as being from “John Kennedy” and automatically assumed it was “John F. Kennedy”. But the right definitely use the tactic you are describing.
Pol makes some utterly fallacious tweet. When pressed their office apologizes for the error and deletes the statement, meanwhile its running rampant around the internet until some other pol picks it up and retweets it and the whole process starts all over again.
The Winnebago County (Wis) Republican Party official Facebook account posted a post that showed a young white man with the caption "“Know the warning signs of WHITE SUPREMACY: 1. Full time employment 2. Literacy 3. Professional or technical degree 4. Regular church/temple attendance 5. Auto insurance 6. Good credit rating 7. No criminal record.”
After many criticisms, including from Republicans, they responded that they were using racism to counter CRT. Allegedly. "an unidentified person using the local party’s Facebook account said their intent was to start a conversation about critical race theory and claimed the concept promotes racism by teaching about white privilege.
“I learned about it this weekend at the Republican Convention and how the Democrat is asking schools to implement it in our local universities and public schools by attaching money to the implementation of it,” the person wrote.
I’ve attempted time travel by snorting dandelions and playing Black Sabbath albums backwards.
On the plus side, they seem to be accepting Jews as “white” now.
Exactly. I noticed from the 1990s the neocons began being “inclusive” by throwing the “judeo-christian values” talking point around.
Do prominent Jewish leaders use that term often?
They aren’t talking Jews here. They mean Mormons, I’ll bet.
I don’t know. I just remember it suddenly being a “thing” in the neoconservative lexicon, whereas before, it wasn’t. Of course, other than the faux inclusiveness of non-WASPs it may have had links to the hawkish foreign policy neocons were/are known for, and being crazy in love with Israel and churlish toward their neighbors was one of its planks.
That is a term that my Reform rabbi pointedly does not use.
Do you understand what a Mormon temple is?
Make your point and stop trying for cute.
A place Mormons go to get underwear?
Because they’re all going to become Christian before Jesus comes back.
Mormon temples are primarily genealogy research centers. Baptisms-of-the-dead (retroactive inductions) are also performed in them. They differ significantly in function from other types of temples. You might be allowed to enter a Jewish temple or a mosque, but almost certainly not a Mormon temple.
Mormon temples (the branch-offices you see everywhere, not the Corporate HQ in Salt Lake City) typically consist of a building with public areas that anyone can visit, but there will always be an inner sanctum of sorts that is open only to members.
The same is true, actually, of the overall Temple Square in SLC. It is a full city block, with the actual temple itself fenced off, but there are other buildings and grounds that are open and park-like, with missionaries assigned to give tours every 15 minutes.
The auditorium of the famous Tabernacle Choir is open to the public when they do their performances and I think for their rehearsals too.
