Man, he’s not even the smartest person in the room when he’s alone.
Ah, I read it as “character in a movie” and thought that could also apply to real people. :smack:
This year the New York Times commemorated the 400th anniversary of the first African slaves being transported to the New World by starting the 1619 Project. Today, Ben Domench, Meghan McCain’s husband and the publisher of the right wing rag The Federalist, announced the 1620 Project, celebrating the 400th arrival of the Pilgrims. Because we don’t have enough celebrations of white evangelicals.
Even as a kid I looked askance at how the pilgrims left England because they couldn’t practice religion the way they wanted to, then set up their colony to be intolerant of anybody else’s flavor of Christianity. 400 years of zero empathy.
Celebrating the guys who outlawed Christmas!
It was Catholic Xmas they hated, a papist conspiracy. Drinking and fornicating elsewhen was just okay. Those Puritans polished their boots and buckles as well as glanses. They divorced a lot, too. But I digress. Russia and the US are at war. Supporting Russia is treason. Get the ropes.
A tangent since Wuornos was mentioned. The movie Monster, starring Charlize Theron is one of those movies, like Schindler’s List, you must watch. Once.
But that’s what “practice religion the way they wanted to” was about: the English authorities allowed them to practice their religion, but not to force others to follow their religious edicts. That was the limitation that the Pilgrims couldn’t stand, and why they left (first for Holland, where they had similar problems, then eventually for America).
That bastion of conservative sanity, Glenn Beck, says that The Left will kill the whistleblower.
I’ll put them on my bucket list, but in the interest of full disclosure, I think it’s only fair to mention that I haven’t seen Despicable Me II yet.
On what planet does that make sense?
The same planet that came up with QANON, Pizzagate, the Ukraine conspiracy theory, climate change denial, the anti-vax movement, the birth certificate lie, and on, and on, and on…
I clicked the link and read the article and IMO none of what Beck is quoted as saying makes any sense. At all. He’s a fucking lunatic.
We got a whole thread about it.
A Connecticut firefighter got his truck stolen. The cops found it and gave it back to him, but he didn’t want it because minorities might have sat in it, so he set it on fire.
IOW this planet, GOLDEN VALLEY, Ariz.:
‘Nothing Less Than a Civil War’: These White Voters on the Far Right See Doom Without Trump
:smack:
Wow. but really, those wingnuts were around before a Trump presidency. They’re not going to do shit. If they were, they’d have already done so.
Those fucking morons are nothing to fear. I had a hoosier cow-orker who told me about a white power rally he encountered in Crown Point Indiana. “Crown Point?” I said. Hmm- those idiots sure are brave. Why didn’t they have it up the road in Gary do you suppose?
Said it before, and I’ll say it again. These morons will loot a few Walmart’s for new TeeVee’s and call it a revolution.
They will forget to get batteries for the remote and raid the local 7-11 for those and chips and beer.
What else can be expected of them? They voted for, or at least support the biggest moron to ever cast a shadow in the White House.
