They have always been a minority, in the same way that they are constantly being oppressed. (Or is that “repressed”?)
When the Good Christians started gate-keeping who a “real Christian” is. If you’re not a member of their particular cult, you don’t count.
I had forgotten if the Gideon’s Bible was meant to be taken or just beside reading material. Apparently it is intended to be taken. I don’t know how they replace it - I mean does the maid open the bedside drawer and pop a new one in if the previous is gone?
I don’t need a bible (and I damn sure do not need a $60 bible compiled by Lee Greenwood which I can only imagine has both Felon47 and Jesus on the cover).
There are annotated bibles not only for Christians but for every religious text on the net.
Pretty much. They give hotels plenty of extras in case anybody wants to take them.
I don’t know if this is a relatively new thing or not, but I’ve also increasingly seen copies of the Book of Mormon as well.
Probably Marriott properties. Its founders were missionary members of the LDS church.
Outside of the Marriott brands?
Marriott was a faithful member of the LDS Church and sought to share the church’s teachings with others by placing a copy of the Book of Mormon in each hotel room, alongside a copy of a Gideon Bible—a tradition that has endured.
Good question. I don’t really pay that much attention to the hotel brand since I don’t travel that much - enough that I can notice trends, but not like every week or anything. Might have coincidentally been staying at Marriott properties more frequently.
The Christians will have to work much harder to ignore Christ’s teachings if they’re in big red letters.
I believe it’s not uncommon in motels in Utah, even if they’re not Marriott.
This doesn’t seem like a great use of government time and money. But DOGE will jump on these expenditures right away, I’m sure.
Well at least ol’ Kegsbreath has been doing his own makeup. Shaves his own sideburns too, apparently.
Given his typical BAC, they probably look the same length to him in the mirror
He wants to start doing makeup differently to own the libs? Because of everyone else in the administration that I can picture, he looks like he needs to change his daily toiletry routine the least in order to present the appearance of a normal official. Doing anything different could only hurt.
This shit doesn’t even make sense. “Unofficially understandings”?
Are they saying people have been threatened for not having an abortion? That seems unlikely.
It’s just a bunch of nonsense that can be interpreted to mean anything they want if they decide to get rid of someone.
Somebody asked Trump about a proposed plan to move the Washington NFL team back into DC, and rename it back to the Redskins.
His answer is complete and utter babbling bullshit.
I found the link to a YouTube video that contained the entire ramble. I copied and pasted the transcript from the video.

Oh I see well that’s that’s a little bit nobody’s asked me that one uh look I think when the the Indian population is a great part of this country great heritage and we’re talking about MassPiqua Long Island the Chiefs they call themselves the Chiefs or the Kansas City Chiefs i’m not changing their name a great team great people great owners great coach and quarterback i love the quarterback like his girlfriend too and his wife his wife is uh his wife is great she’s been a big uh she’s been a big fan his his quarterback’s mother is incredible i like that team they’re called the Chiefs and frankly uh I see nothing wrong with it they call them the Warriors and not that team but a lot of other teams and all of these Indian surnames and different names and I’m saying that I think that’s a positive thing and when you go back to Indians they they pulled this they they don’t know why these names are being taken off they’re trying to I think it’s degrading to the Indian population and it’s a great population and they like when they’re you know called by various names now uh Washington the Redskins perhaps that’s a little different a little bit different but I can tell you that I spoke to people of Indian heritage that loved that name and they love that team and I think it’s a much you know I think it’s a superior name to what they have right now and it had heritage behind it it had something special but a lot of the names having to do with you know different places not just Indians but I I think it’s they changed the name of the Cleveland Indians why would you take the name Indians off the Cleveland Indians and now it’s called the Cleveland something else right guardians oh it just doesn’t make sense to me so so you know we’re about bringing common sense back to this country and it may be popular or unpopular what I’m saying and just said to you see he’s a nice guy he got a lot out of me on this one but but I mean I think most people agree with me it’s it’s I think it really is demeaning to Indians but to change the name of the Cleveland Indians as an example to the Cleveland Guardians is not uh it’s not not the same
Oh my god.
How can anyone hear that and think he’s of sound mind? The greatest president? An IQ greater than 45?
It’s…astounding.
It’s like he thinks he’s speaking into ChatGpt and expects it to organize his thoughts into a coherent answer.
Just caught this one. I never thought they left DC?
They play in Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD. Their former home is RFK Stadium which is indeed located in the DC city limits. I believe that’s what the questioner was speaking to–moving back to RFK.
Ah! I did not know that.
