Is it possible for God to make a person that is actually dumber than a rock? Seems like Senator Potatotown is really trying to test the hypothesis.

They come from places unknown, don’t speak languages, and have never heard of God.

Hell, Tan the Conman was born in the United States\*, yet he speaks a gibberish nobody else does.

\*Was he really, though? Has anyone seen the long form birth certificate?

He’s speaking in tongues, a time-honored tradition among evangelicals who’ve been struck by ghod, or something like that.

Look, with Trump, Tuberville, today’s republican pary, and the magatoflatearthers, it’s not only possible, it’s no longer even in the realm of miracle; it’s all too common.

Yeah, like Puerto Rico. At least, that’s te way Tan the Conman looked at the territory, not knowing it’s part of the United States.

Where do you think I got the idea.

And I believe ending with “um gesh de bork bork” does have precedent in the canon.

From your link:

“We live in a constitutional republic that’s trying to do things without our Judo-Christian values”, i.e. without my values.

I worry that things may become violent what with the Judo and all.

And, of course, there’s no such thing as “Judeo-Christian values”. The main so-called value of Christianity is in direct opposition of the main value of Judaism. But, hey, it’s a cool sounding title the bigots can use to show they’re not really all that bigoted, isn’t it?

A flight attendant’s primary job is one that most of them never have to do, and all hope never to do. The reason they’re on the plane is in case they’re needed for emergency response. All of the serving drinks and the like is just the airlines going “Well, if we have to have them anyway, they might as well keep busy”.
