Stupid Republican idea of the day

Speaking as someone who lives in Maine, and who should take offense at this, I can confirm every last word of it. As to what Susan Collins is playing, it’s her same old schtick - she’ll say anything in that Katherine Hepburn voice to try to convince her constituents that she’s a moderate while solidly voting R. Her Twitter feed is full of stuff like, “look how I helped these veterans, and old people, and puppies,” and then she turns around and votes for millionaires’ tax cuts. I must say, though, I’m not sure how well her latest judo is going to flip.

“I believe Dr. Ford was attacked, just not by Kavanaugh (because he’s too important to my donors)”

It’s not sitting well. She likes to pretend that she’s on the forefront of the movement to believe women and the first chance she gets to do it, she shits the bed. I can’t wait to see her voted out.

Stupid Republican idea of the day (well, this day last week): this movie.

“…who are in no way bribing me, unlike the actual voters funding my next opponent.”

So the movie starts with a fireman with PTSD who has to take time off and is having difficulty sleeping. He finds a glowing orb floating over his bed, not making any noise, and there’s a tv on with Trump on the screen (in 2005, apparently), and deduces that this silent globe is God telling him something about Trump. So he tells his psychiatrist, who tells his (the psychiatrist’s) wife, who immediately realizes this means God told the fireman in 2005 that Donald Trump was God’s choice to be President. The rest of the movie is the psychiatrist’s wife spreading this gospel.
The wife and her clack brought out Israelis shofars and played them during Election Night so that God would know that they believe in Trump.
The movie is even more about “Let’s support Israel” than it is “Trump is sent by God.”

Based on a True Story.

Some promising news though:

Hope theaters are stocking plenty of sickness bags for those dragged to the movie by Trump-adoring relatives.

Sorry.

I mean, it’s not my fault, nor is it my country’s, but still… sorry.

We USAians are the ones who should be sorry. When “Let’s support Israel” is coming from the evangelicals, dollars to donuts says that it’s more about Dominionism than about making it safe to be a Jew.

That, or they want us to kill Arabs for them.

Well, that would be just gravy for them.

Red-eye gravy, made with flour, black coffee, and bacon fat, so watch out.

Peckerwood caviar.

This is sorta a growing sentiment among US citizens.

Nah, they “believe that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ cannot occur until the Third Temple is constructed in Jerusalem, which requires the appearance of a red heifer born in Israel. Clyde Lott, a cattle breeder, is attempting to systematically breed red heifers and export them to Israel to establish a breeding line of red heifers in Israel in the hope that this will bring about the construction of the Third Temple and ultimately the Second Coming of Jesus”

If you’re going to make fun of Clyde Lott, watch out. His wife can get a little salty…

Hey, now! You’re talking about a pillar of the community there…

So what Clyde is saying is that god isn’t doing it right, and needs a little help? Hey, check out the faith on that one!

It’s about bringing on the Second Coming. They don’t give a tinker’s damn otherwise about Jews (or anyone else, for that matter).

Not kill. Have them suffer because they’re not Raptured. You know “True Christians” really want others to suffer, not die.

This.

This. Because the Rapture part of it is only HALF of the enjoyment for them. Being able to witness the suffering of non-Christians is almost more important.

Do NONE of these* Christians Who Are The Opposite of Jesus* stop and think “Wait a minute, does it make any sense for an omnipotent God to be powerless unless we breed red cows, or a loving God to want us to engineer people’s suffering?”
