Trump is trying to win over Mormons - by selling them LDS-themed coffee mugs and beer can holders.
It’s not like “try to appeal to religious people with tactics explicitly against their religion” is a new strategy for Republicans.
This seems to be a belief system for many. It reminds me of, during pro-Brexit campaigning, Michael Gove (former British Conservative MP) saying: “I think the people in this country have had enough of experts…”
Well, they can always use the mugs for chicken soup and the beer can holders for cans of caffeine-free Coke.
It’s really weird that the State Athletic Commission has any say over what amounts to a circus performance.
If the AEW really wanted to mess with heads make a point, they should run a mixed pairs tag team match, then have the opponents swapping out cross gender.
Or get creative. Actual wrestling fans will have better ideas than me.
As far as I know, no one has said that. The rumor is that if you reach out for assistance, FEMA will condemn and confiscate your property after the storm.
There is some basis for the rumor, but it’s not an accurate representation. There are federal programs to buy up flood prone properties and clear them to use a flood buffer space. FEMA and HUD do go in to frequently flooding areas and buy up the property.
The catch is that these programs are voluntary. No one is forced to comply.
There are also state programs in some areas.
That’s because “Do your own research!” actually means “Read things you already agree with.” Or, more likely, “Stick with whatever belief you like best, and don’t bother researching at all.”
Just this week, I saw a home improvement columnist write “Inflation is still raging out of control. I don’t care what the news says.”
“Murder Grampa” Minoru Suzuki vs. Maki Itoh rematch. They’ve both made appearances in AEW. It could happen.
I wonder why this person called a radio show to share a story about a family member. I know nothing of Dan Abrams or his show. Would one of his listeners be more likely to think “my father in law is so mired in MAGAland that he’s refusing to accept help even when he’s waist-deep in flood water”, or “my father-in-law is my hero, sticking it to The Man who’s trying to push him off his land!”?
The ultimate sources of a lot of disinformation are hostile foreign powers, who are also funding its amplification. Much of the American right wing has been coopted. The Americans aren’t doing it for any cogent reason except that they’re getting well reimbursed for it. The foreign powers are doing it to weaken the United States.
His resume includes founding Mediaite and a stint as the head of MSNBC, so I’m guessing the former.
While I’m sure this is true, I also think there are plenty of prominent right-wingers who genuinely believe the crap they peddle. 40+ years into the “government is the problem” era, at least two generations have grown up with the idea as a core belief.
Interesting; thanks. It’s still an unusual thing to call a radio show about. Nothing Abrams or his listeners do is going to change the father-in-law’s mind. And the MAGA faithful will rally around this guy and he’ll be driven deeper into the fold.
I think it’s a shame that someone is so divorced from reality to behave that way, but publicizing it doesn’t help end it.
Maybe it’s a warning to others to intervene if they see someone they care about spouting this nonsense, before they do something stupid. It’s easy to presume all MAGAts are unreachable, as that’s the image they project, but maybe some are reachable with the right intervention.
I just can’t…
If they die after they’ve voted, no problem. If they die before they’ve voted, surely someone can cast their vote for them and thus no problem.
They’ll be upset too, but since they’re not rational like you, they’ll be mad at the wrong people.
As I just said, they’re not rational.
Just a note: Caffinated sodas are not considered a violation of the Word of Wisdom. Even BYU sells caffinated sodas. (The link goes to Deseret News.)
I’m sure BYU’s anthropology department also doesn’t teach that the Americas were first populated by Canaanites in 2000 BC or that differing skin tones are the result of divine curses or that Bigfoot was present at fhe crucifixion of Jesus, either.
@Smapti Your link has the church’s name spelled wrong a number of times. I’m surprised Raw Story did that, but of course am not surprised at all the melon felon (aka MF) and his crew did.
What’s the misspelling?
Dead people are not really upset. They are just dead.
The correct spelling is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The misspelling has Latter-Day. Details, people; details! 
But we’re not talking about the dead magaflatearthers. We’re talking about the dead magaflatearthers’ relatives.
