I have commented that there are some so-called Christians who are not only cocksure they’re going to heaven and you’re not, they’ll have ringside seats looking down into the pit so they can watch your torment.
My, but the spirit of “Christian Charity” knows no bounds. Such fine people they are.
Either they look down on all those they love but will never join them…or their minds are manipulated so that they don’t care.
Which one is the “heaven” I should strive for?
What they don’t realize is, that they are in hell, too. Just a different part. They can never leave, never talk to anyone not already there, never get to play harp on a cloud bank, never do anything but watch. After a while they’ll realize they are like the trees on the plains of suicides. Just a different type of eternal suffering. And the seats have no padding.
Are their minds Tiffany twisted, by any chance?
They are all prisoners there of their own device. They just don’t realize it.
And until they all check out, we can’t leave. Aye, there’s the rub.
The Republicants never check their pictures. Nazi flags in the background, Kegsbreath with Russian tie, US posters with Russian jets … here’s another:
“Tell me what to do Sean! I’m confused.”
If trump should shuffle off this mortal coil before 2028, Hannity or Bannon will be the MAGAFascist nominee.
You read it here first.
There will be a lot of infighting with them and others. It will be a joy to watch them eat each other.
Lest anyone think it’s a joke, People reached out to Graham, and rather than deny it, he leaned into it. Anything that gets him attention is welcome, I guess.
Graham directly addressed the moment in a statement to PEOPLE, saying, “Siri: Tell my friends at PEOPLE to watch more Fox News. Why was I calling Sean Hannity? Breaking news: I like his show and I’ll be a guest tonight! Tune in.”
I mean, that’s like the least embarrassing thing that’s happened to a Republican this decade.
Although I read it decades ago Clavell’s King Rat made quite the impression on me, the ending particularly.
Spoilered last paragraph of the Wiki summary.
King decides he and his friends should breed rats to sell for food. His comrades, though nearly starving themselves, are repelled by the idea of eating rat meat, so King comes up with the plan of only selling the meat to officers without telling them the true source. A group of officers who stole money from their underlings are later seen greedily enjoying a meal of what they are told is mouse deer (rusa tikus in Malay), not knowing they are actually eating rat meat. When the camp is ultimately liberated, most of the soldiers have trouble adjusting to freedom. King loses his power and is shunned by the others. Grey ironically thanks King on the grounds that his hatred of King was the only thing keeping him alive. At the end the rats are abandoned in their cages when the camp is abandoned. The final scene has the rats consuming each other one by one, with the final survivor becoming “king of the rats”.
The only thing that ever changes is the size and opulence (or lack) of the cages. And the number of players.
Viewed through the right lens, biology itself is just an ugly pyramid scheme.
They don’t exist in a bubble, and there is a verry good chance many innocent bystanders would get “eaten” in the process.
Republican college students dress up as ICE agents for Halloween.
“I unequivocally stand with the UWEC College Republicans and their freedom of speech,” Penfield wrote. “They have done nothing against policy and their actions are protected under the first amendment.”
Penfield works for Turning Point Action.
Randall Munroe: "I can’t remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you’re saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it’s not literally illegal to express. "
True. I mean, if someone is threatening legal action, it seems warranted to cite the First Amendment, but if someone is just calling you out for doing something reprehensible, citing it means that you really have no legitimate way to defend yourself.
I think we just found the GOP’s tagline for 2028!
