But Lo seeing that they had renounced the false prophet and turned from their evil ways, he showed mercy towards them and sent forth a vaccine that they might die no more. But there remained those whose hearts were hardened. They would not see his miracles and rejected his gifts, so the lord turned his face from them and they died in the thousands.
Having lost the pillar of business, the righties seem to be ramping up their efforts to regain the pillar of education.
A worrisome trend. But I think they are clearly underestimating how tenable their grip on power will be when/if they continue to lose the hearts and minds of young Americans.
… that’s why they’re going after education, RW.
Of course. But I don’t think it will work the way they think it will.
What?? But look at how well their Say No to Drugs campaign worked out long-term!
I keep saying this here, but Exodus 32:
31 So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. 32 But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”
33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. 34 Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
If Trump demanded that his followers get a tattoo of the number 666 on their forehead, how many of them would obey?
Put it on a red hat and see.
Make sure they know that, if they do get the tattoo, the libs will be really upset.
Misread “Aaron” as “Anon,” and it made it even better.

But this was an entirely different five-member board than had overseen the last election. The Democratic majority of three Black women was gone. So was the Black elections supervisor. Now a faction of three white Republicans controlled the board – thanks to a bill passed by the Republican-led Georgia legislature earlier this year. The Spalding board’s new chairman has endorsed former president Donald Trump’s false stolen-election claims on social media.
The panel in Spalding, a rural patch south of Atlanta, is one of six county boards that Republicans have quietly reorganized in recent months through similar county-specific state legislation. The changes expanded the party’s power over choosing members of local election boards ahead of the crucial midterm Congressional elections in November 2022.
The unusual rash of restructurings follows the state’s passage of Senate Bill 202, which restricted ballot access statewide and allowed the Republican-controlled State Election Board to assume control of county boards it deems underperforming. The board immediately launched a performance review of the Democratic-leaning Fulton County board, which oversees part of Atlanta."
Stacy’s pushback on this better be bullhorn loud.
It’s not who votes that decides elections, it’s who counts the votes that decides elections.
Exactly. And Republicans have learned their lesson from the last election - they are setting themselves up to do the counting next time. They learned they just have to get rid of independent election officials, or even Republican officials with morals. They have realized that they do not need to get the most votes to win.
This can also go in the schadenfreude thread
Multiple residents from Florida’s Trump-loving “The Villages” arrested for voter fraud (msn.com)
Three Republican voters in a Trump-loving Florida retirement community have been arrested on charges of casting multiple ballots.
Maybe they are so convinced that there was a steal because only a concentrated steal could overcome their own fraud attempts?
Remember, every Republican accusation is properly understood as a confession.
At this point, I would not be surprised to see their next presidential candidate hail from Belarus, and come with an childishly obviously photoshopped birth certificate.
Get ready for LOTS of this type of shit:
These are examples of evil, not stupidity:
From the article:
But later in Tuesday’s hearing, Fauci lost his temper when Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, accused him of hiding financial disclosure forms required of public officials.
“You’re so misinformed that it’s extraordinary,” Fauci responded, saying those documents are publicly available upon request. As the exchange ended, Fauci could be heard muttering off-camera, “What a moron.”
Fauci is, once again, correct. Our less-than-illustrious junior Senator is indeed a moron. As a Congressman, he was a normal, toe-the-party-line GOP guy. Once we elected him to the Senate, he’s become a complete Trumplican with regular asinine appearances on Fox and OAN.
