Remember that day you were in that one Burger King arguing with the counter person about where the beef was? That was when it happened. You were so caught up in the argument that you failed to notice it. And, that one Burger King is in a location where you never would have seen any of the bright flashes.
We got most of it cleaned up before you got home. All you ever saw was what looked like major road construction.
Must be Fake News from the Democrats. Everybody knows that preserving the freedoms of mankind is the highest priority of “conservatives.”
Oh wait. Freedoms of mankind. Them womankind should just do as though they’re told and stop whining when they get themselves raped. And what good was the Nineteenth Amendment if he womenfolk don’t vote the way they’re told to?
ETA: Some women are good Republicans. This horrid (too-dumb-to-be-true?) video is 9 years old, but I stumbled on it and was astounded.
Some light relief: GOP Senator Marsha Blackburn reminds us that Jesus “warned us about the lawyers”. Except that it wasn’t Jesus, it was Shakespeare, and the quote was about how lawyers obstruct autocratic rulers attempting to undermine the rule of law and seize more power.
But apart from being wrong in every respect and undermining the point she was trying to make, she totally nailed it.
Education is so overrated.
(She really thought Jesus said that?? What an ignoramus.)
A 25-minute video from whom? Relevant to what? You watched that whole thing?
I can’t stand Blackburn, and her statement is wildly misleading, but people who assume she is mis-quoting Shakespeare are exposing their own Biblical illiteracy.
In Luke chapter 11, Jesus really does condemn “lawyers”:
“Woe also to you lawyers! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not lift a finger to ease them. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed. So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ so that this generation may be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation. Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” (Luke 11:46-52, NSRV) The New International Version uses"experts in the law" for “lawyers.”
Of course, their real crime was hypocrisy ignoring the burdens of their constituents; something Senator Blackburn would do well to note.
Why was Jesus shouting numbers while Woeing the lawyers?
Because his real target was the accountants.
Oops, sorry, I edited the quote to take out the verse numbers before I saw your comment and ruined the joke. I like the idea though. “46! Woe also to you lawyers! 47! You load people with burdens hard to bear! … Don’t make me count to 50!”
I appreciate your interest in maintaining the integrity of the joke! 
“47? I said that exact same thing and nobody at all laughed.”
“You told it wrong.”
E.P.A. to Limit Science Used to Write Public Health Rules
My bold.
Can’t trust scientists. After all, they’ve been to college, and nothing good comes from those liberal dung heaps.
And by all means, let’s let the public evaluate the scientists’ work. That’s the ticket.
Egads! Stakeholders…meaning anyone who doesn’t like what the FACTS of the science are telling them. Lemme guess, stakeholders will be the ones with the money to make a big enough stink.
This is a BBQ Pit thread about Stupid Republicans. What’s your point? You think that woman is smarter than the average stupid Republican? Maybe you’re right.
Watch the whole thing? Of course not.
As if they would even look at the raw data (not to mention this could be a very serious HIPA violation).
It’s even better if you picture him ticking them off on his fingers…“Jesus, how many fingers do you have?!?”
Not the public. Business interests, especially the sugar daddies in the Koch Network.
The Miracle of Sprouting Fingers doesn’t get enough recognition. How’s that not as cool as water walking?
Jim Jordan reportedly plans to repeatedly scream the name of the person Breitbart claims is the whistleblower in order to disrupt impeachment hearings.
We’ve literally reached the child-throwing-a-temper-tantrum point here.
