I saw a quip the other day that went something like, “When you interpret a protest against racism as an attack on America, you are declaring that racism is a keystone American value”.
NYT’s the first to admit there’s a readership for them.
Beg pardon?
No big deal. Baylor and Pepperdine are kind of the Harvard and Yale of dumb people.
They say the only reason Baylor ever had a football team was because Aggies couldn’t outsmart tackling dummies.
slow clap
That is just unfair. From your link, it looks like King Canute was about a millennium more advanced and sophisticated than Prat Robertson.
Personally I think Pat should have gone down to the seashore like Canute did and put his faith to the test against the hurricane. He’d likely have had the same level of success, but at least he’d have demonstrated the strength of his convictions. Although perhaps we’ve already seen the strength of his convictions by his readiness to whore them out to profit, power and political expediency at the drop of a hat.
Yeah, but such is the fate of any sufficiently advanced sarcasm : people think you’re a moron because they’re too dumb to understand you’re calling *them *morons.
That is perfect for the stupid Republican idea of the day thread.
Cnut gets a bad rap for that. He wasn’t trying to show he *could *stop the tide, but to show his flattering courtiers that he couldn’t, that his powers were limited and God’s will would prevail.
Eric Trump is all but outright stating he’s an antisemite:
Eric Trump: Woodward earned ‘three extra shekels’ with CNN appearance (autoplay video):
He might as well go full Cartman and start ranting about “Jew Gold” at this point. It would be just as subtle.
The administration is dreadfully underexposed and needs all the coverage the media can offer, including broadcasting the “thoughts” of the rugrats.
Is Eric the relatively smart one or the dumb one?
These right wingers are strange with their antisemitism. Once Palestinians are added to the equation they realize that they hate someone else even more, and by comparison Jews will do on the friemds list.
Jews are only on the friends list of the right-wingers because Israel has to exist and be destroyed for the Second Coming to happen.
Ahh, I see. The long game.
Why “three shekels,” particularly?
I expect he was trying for 30 pieces of silver.
They don’t see it that way, remember. There are good “Christian” cattle ranchers in the US who are working on breeding a fully red breed of cattle, so they can supply the “red heifer” that’s required as a sacrifice to rededicate the temple of Solomon (which is currently somewhere under the Dome of the Rock).
