Let's be clear: if this had happened on Trump's watch, we would all be mocking and denouncing him.

It's super-embarrassing that it happened on Biden's watch and the fact that it did shouldn't prevent us from saying: what a bloody shitshow.

'The only reason these Christians need their God affirmed in public spaces is because their faith is incredibly weak. If they don’t see constant reinforcement of their religion, it hurts their feelings.'

A devious puzzle from Quiara Vasquez right here.

I thought I made a mistake until I solved the rest of it... and then I got mad I didn't think of it first.

'How the hell did a guy like that get elected, as a Republican, in freaking Idaho, in the first place? … it wasn’t that Schroeder was hiding his atheism; it’s that it was a non-issue during the campaign.'

Idaho State Sen. Geoff Schroeder was, as far as I can tell, the only Republican atheist elected to state/federal office in the country.

He just lost his primary.

I spoke with him about what lessons he took away from his single term.

Eight years ago, Hillary called *some* Trump supporters (the super-racist ones) “deplorable” and folks still talk about it

Eight hours ago, Trump called all Biden voters “human scum” and we’ve already forgotten about it

This is outright scary because its proposed platform calls for:

- The destruction of the Johnson Amendment

- The addition of chaplains

- The addition of the 10 commandments in class rooms & the courtyard.

In short: they want to abolish secularism

This is also the guy who blocked me on FB because I posted a link to his lengthy criminal record.

No, if Biden loses the Democratic Party won't pivot to the center. Nor shift to pursue anti-Biden leftists. The very premise of that is misguided. Real head-in-the-sand stuff.
Every single comment assuming Trump wins in 2024 and then the US has a normal election in 2028 is wrong.

Should journalists do their jobs, or instead, not do their jobs? Stay tuned for the scintillating debate! semafor.com/article/05/26/…

Christian Nationalist pastor Shane Vaughn says pastors don't have to be poor and it's okay for him to drive an expensive car.

After all, he says, Jesus was wealthy.

'Almost a million dollars was given to the Baby Jesus.'

This was intentional. You don't accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, 'It was a mistake.'

Genocidal maniac Netanyahu told us he wants to ethically cleanse Palestinians. When are you going to believe him President Biden?

A vote for Trump is a vote for authoritarianism.
A vote for RFK is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.
A vote for West is a vote for Trump.
Not voting is a vote for Trump.

If you care about democracy, vote for Joe Biden and Democrats up and down the ticket.

Rahela Petian, the woman kicked out of her megachurch on Mother's Day after criticizing the pastor online, has finally posted audio of that eviction.

(I clipped it to fit Twitter limits.)

There are a lot of bad things in this document, but I also want to point out their vow to remove “Vision Zero” and “anti-car” policies, restrict transit and bike lanes, and lack of support for HSR.

Nothing less than an immediate ceasefire, and end to arming Israel with US weapons to carry out this genocide, and a free Palestine. This is a scourge against all humanity. I wish nothing but peace for the innocent people trapped in this manmade hell.
