Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So many bastards, so little time.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

“Just Us” Sunday II

This post is in: 

And don’t forget, “Just Us” Sunday begins in just a few hours:

Two Rivers Baptist Church in Donelson, is hosting the evangelical rally on religion and the Supreme Court on Sunday.

Organizers say they want to educate people about judicial matters.

“It’s great to have both points of view, but what we’re trying to do is wake people up to how important judges are in all of our lives,” said George Uribe, Justice Sunday producer.

The event is a follow-up to the first Justice Sunday, held in April at a mega-church in Louisville, Kentucky. At that event, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist called for an end to filibusters of judicial nominees.

At Justice Sunday II, other well known political figures including House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will speaking to a crowd of 3,000 in person and to many more watching the telecast on stations throughout the country.

But not all churches in town agree with the message behind the rally.

An event aimed at countering the message of Justice Sunday II will be held at the Cathedral of Praise Church. Bishop Jerry L. Maynard said several churches decided to organize “Community of Faith and Unity” after hearing that Justice Sunday II was going to take place in Nashville. They believe Justice Sunday blurs the line that separates church and state.

Personally, I can’t wait to hear what Tom DeLay will have to say.

Or maybe I can.

    Personally, I can’t wait to hear what Tom DeLay will have to say.

    Perhaps he’ll say something like this…

    “The time has come that the American people know exactly what their Representatives are doing here in Washington. Are they feeding at the public trough, taking lobbyist-paid vacations, getting wined and dined by special interest groups? Or are they working hard to represent their constituents? The people, the American people, have a right to know…I say the best disinfectant is full disclosure, not isolation.”

    At least that’s what Tom Delay said on November 16, 1995.

    It is not being done in secret, so I am not sure why it should be considered a problem.

    I wonder just how many ‘pastors’ are in violation of IRS rules requiring churches to not engage in political activity in order to maintain their tax exempt status.
    I believe the neo-cons have HR235 which would allow the churches to divert up to 20% of the sunday offerings to direct political activity.
    WTF, over

    Sincere, but naive question – what’s the big deal with Justice Sundays? Is everybody’s main beef that a religious leader is taking political positions?

    If so, given pastor Jesse Jackson’s former prominence, and the fact that Dems use black churches all the time for political rallies and fund raising, this doesn’t seem to be such a big deal, or maybe it is.. I’ve probably missed something… perhaps some foolish statements were made in the first Justice sunday or something

    Sincere, but naive question – what’s the big deal with Justice Sundays? Is everybody’s main beef that a religious leader is taking political positions?

    The beef is about political leaders taking their religious beliefs and making them law, or using them as the basis for law (i.e. stem cells, morning after pill, etc.). My religion, the Not So Holy Church of Jim (find out more here), doesn’t consider an egg fertilized two days ago to be a living, breathing child, therefore, I don’t see stem cell research or using the morning after pill as murder.

    Now please don’t go spouting off about how this is a country formed on Judeo-Christian beliefs. It’s not. Of the 10 “laws” supposedly handed down to Moses, only two are actually criminal acts in this country: stealing and murder. The one about bearing false witness is only a crime when done under oath, so that’s like a part-timer. The other seven you can break at will with no criminal penalty. Just look…

    Darrel, Holy Zeus, I want to do your goddamned wife!

    That one statement just broke three commandments. Nothing bad is going to happen to me because our justice system isn’t founded on the laws of the Bible.

    If you do the research, you’ll find that the enlightenment period philosophers had much more influence on the formation of this country than did the Bible. After all, we didn’t need to break away from England to become a “Christian” country; we already were one.

  1. […] Good for you, Abe. I’m sick to f-cking death of theocrats acting as though they have a right to draft public policy – things that affect you and me and everybody else, whether we subscibe to cult X or not. And I’m sick of the politicians who court the theocratic vote for their own cynical reasons. Drug approval springs to mind. Pharmacists have no right to say which prescriptions to fill and not fill, despite the companies and legislatures who enable them. Extremists demand no activist judges, or more activist judges, or any judge who will enforce their theocratic perspective. Pat Robertson may not set foreign policy, but he sure has a knack for screwing it up. […]
