Sometimes it’s like they forget that Ladies Rooms are full of sturdy metal cubicles that lock from the inside.
Change comes from below. Nobody with four aces hollers for a new deal.
Between her and the Ronna McDaniel hire, it’s a wonder people still claim the news department at NBC is run by a bunch of socialists. Corporate scumbags and idiots? Sure, but by no stretch of the imagination some sort of shadowy Deep State intelligence operation.
The people who make that claim don’t know what the word “socialist” means other than “thing I don’t like because my information sources tell me not to”.
Someone’s never played a prank at McDonalds (i.e. crawling under and locking it from the inside). Yes, I was a weird kid.
You can actually walk into the stall and then lock it. You only need to crawl to get out.
That doesn’t feel Mission Impossible enough, though.
Wearing a t-shirt with McD’s floor stains for the rest of the day was no fun, though. And I’ve always felt slightly guilty about doing it, since I might really have ruined someone’s day.
Right. Also, the magaflatearthers use socialist and/or communist to mean someone not letting their traitor idol get away with something. I just a saw a few xits on Xitter where the aforementioned magaflatearthers are bemoaning the “unconstitutional decisions” of “the communist judge Merchan”. And let’s not forget what they believe fake means.
Margarine Failure Groane says she voted against a bill to combat antisemitism because it would deny her the right to believe that the Jews killed Jesus.
Greene explained. “[It] could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews.”
How to make it clear you’ve never actually read the Bible in one sentence.
Umm, Marj? Getting crucified was God’s plan for Himself/Jesus from the beginning.
It’s… something… to see MGT going old school with the antisemitism. Were dog whistles about “globalists” and “bankers” too subtle?
You’re expecting a practicing Christian to have actually read and understood the bible? Marge couldn’t spell “Amen” if it hit her in the head*.

Not to mention the inconvenient little fact that Jesus was, you know, a Jew.
Also, it was the Romans who executed Jesus, not the Jews. In the Ancient Roman Empire that form of execution was not permitted for vassal states, if it was done it was done under and by Roman authority.
But that never stopped anyone in, oh, the last 2000 years from blaming the Jews.
I wasn’t sure if she meant she thought Jesus was “crucified” by the Jews or just “handed over to Herod to be crucified”. Her grammar is as flawed as everything else about her.
Anyway, Herod wouldn’t do it. He sent Jesus back to Pontius Pilate. Hasn’t she seen Jesus Christ Superstar?
Yep. And this, of course, is the oh-so-subtle nuance that eludes MTG, and what the antisemitism definition zeroes in on. MTG and others would be perfectly free to believe that Jewish leaders lobbied for Christ’s execution as punishment for his perceived heresy. Where it crosses the line is when that belief is used to justify vilifying, demonizing, and oppressing Jews. As you point out, this is one of antisemitism’s greatest hits.
BTW, there’s a detail that seems to escape the notice of this particular branch of antisemitism. If you embrace the gospels, one would think you’d notice that every person who followed, supported, protected, and loved Christ, the women who stayed physically by him to the end, his disciples, all of them were…wait for it…Jews. But that doesn’t count.
