Anybody catch the clip of ron asking for votes at the, “debate”? He tries to smile when he’s done speaking. It is the most awkward creepy smile. It reminded me of Wednesday in one of the Adam’s Family movies smiling at summer camp … only creepier. ---

Texas AG Paxton, he who recently survived a bogus impeachment process, is suing Pfizer. The crap and drivel he’s spewing is pure evil. [https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4336013-texas-ken-paxton-pfizer-lawsuit-covid-19-vaccine/](https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4336013-texas-ken-paxton-pfizer-lawsuit-covid-19-vaccine/) Tidbit: “We are pursuing justice for the people of Texas, many of whom were coerced by tyrannical vaccine mandates to take a defective product sold by lies,” Paxton said in a statement. “The facts are clear. Pfizer did not tell the truth about their COVID-19 vaccines,” he added. “Whereas the Biden Administration weaponized the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies, I will use every tool I have to protect our citizens who were misled and harmed by Pfizer’s actions.” No doubt judge shopping in the finest Texas tradition as well. I looked for the Reluctantly, Fuck Texas thread but it’s dormant. And I have no reluctance. ---

Just catching up. > [@kaylasdad99](#): > > I honestly think that the fundamental belief in play is that the Creator of the Universe has always intended for sexual pleasure to be a gift meant for the exclusive enjoyment of married couples, and then exclusively for the purpose of procreation. The former has some support in Scripture, but the latter doesn’t. The main Scripture in question involves Paul telling those who want to have sex (and can’t just refrain, like he can) to get married. And then neither partner should ever refrain from sex, except with mutual agreement. That just is not consistent with the idea that one only has sex for procreative purposes. ---
