holy shit

In the end this is true and I would not like to be them when they are judged

Idk man seems significant to me we're getting fascism when American religiosity is the lowest it's been in over a century

Yeah so I'm generally skeptical of Christian nationalism as explanatory of the MAGA movement because I don't think that's what Trump is doing, but I watched some of Vance's speech, and that's for sure the lane he's staking out.

Just saw this on FB, from a seminary acquaintance about Kirk's funeral, and this first line is very illuminating, in that it describes a God completely unfamiliar to me from Scripture: "If the leader of the free world is embracing God (no matter the person holding the office), there is always hope."

A close reading of the AI image would have one note that Charlie is holding the microphone, while his ostensible interlocutor does not get one.

Turns out the future of Pennsylvania progressivism flows from Mt. Lebo, not the Mon Valley (this is true in more ways than one), and I am once again apologizing to Conor Lamb

shit like this is funny (pejorative) because from any theologically sophisticated perspective, heaven is a state of complete and unconditional openness to the other and hell is the complete extinguishment of anything other than completely introverted self-love

He's trying to covfefe accidentally doing a Watergate in public

Was asked to pray for the family of Charlie Kirk during prayers of the people in my multiracial congregation this morning, which is a fun way to feel the entire weight of five hundred years of race relations in the American church in like twenty seconds

This should come along with a commitment toward making legal immigration much easier, less costly, and more just. How should we deal with a "crisis" of undocumented migration? Make documented migration easily attainable!

I'm curious how "do another Afghanistan war" polls with the American public

Immigrants love America better than Americans do. Which makes sense since, documented or not, they have to work for it. All some idiot nativist has to do is be born here.

My take is that Theo Von is definitely wholly bad, and a barely-disguised mean-spirited MAGA, but I do not think that Shane Gillis is.

Making it all the way through the six flags parking lot and realizing you left your wallet in the car

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

Robin Hood and Lil Jon

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

This is obviously a major crime but it's hilarious if this was meant to be private and this is actually how he talks to people

"Democrats are crying foul"??? Why would you say it like that?

the 'asylum' hangup he has is truly one of the more bizarre things about this bizarre man

this was summer ‘24… MAYBE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE SOME HEADLINES ABOUT THIS IN THE FUCKING FALL OF 2024, MERICK. MAYBE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL.

The rewriting of American history at our National Parks — including the removal of images of slavery — is disgraceful. At our hearing this morning, I demanded answers.

Speaking from a mainline perspective, nah, but it is absolutely true that an outrageous number of churches feed kids curricula produced by Answers in Genesis et al

I literally watched a report this morning of a town in Northern Ireland that is picketing in front of the homes of every migrant there until they all leave, to "protect their women and children"

I don't understand wandering around this app (or any other) just looking for fights. Like wouldn't you prefer to make friends and find like-minded and interesting people?

It is really something to note that a lot of Congressional Democrats seem more afraid of Charlie Kirk fans than the black people who make up their most steadfast base.

Far be it from me to speak fondly of old white people, but it's striking how they're the footsoldiers of resistance this time around.

I'm constantly torn between bewilderment that every insane capricious move like this doesn't cause massive economic turmoil, and major anxiety that the cumulative effect it all gonna hit at once.

this exists it is called thinking

The conservative obsession with The View is the weirdest thing. Daytime television? Are you serious?

Have some shame.

I'm glad he's doing it, but I wonder why this is the moment Obama decided to hop in.

Who called it television networks canning their flagship milquetoast evening talk shows to curry favor with the mad king and not the Late Night of Long Knives

Insane. “That is not me. I apologize for the apparent outcry this has caused. I hope that the Anthony Wayne community understands that sometimes these mistakes happen, and I went in and changed the original post to a empathetic emoji, getting rid of the laugh emoji.”

MAHA vs the U.S. corn lobby is going to be a real Let Them Fight situation

It’s telling that Trump has already discarded the idea that the Kimmel firing was about Kirk and says the problem is that he was mean to Trump

IN CASE OF METHODISTS HIDE DOWNSTAIRS

boy Josh Shapiro, man...

This is not going to be a problem at all and the business owners need to settle down. It's not going to hurt business if Penn Avenue isn't a highway anymore and, really, we should pedestrianize a lot of it. (I don't really get the point of the bike lane) www.post-gazette.com/news/transpo...

Sounds like some Jesuits need to get their rerums novarumed

Hey wanna see something that'll make your day just a little worse?

I miss when the leaves would change color because it was getting cool rather than because the trees have been fully desiccated

Trump believes he bought and owns America, he does not seem any difference between his office, himself, and his property

Because of how easily this administration gives in at the slightest pushback, I have to think that if you surrender to his demands, it’s because you secretly agree with them

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

🤓: Actually a major function of the court jester was to provide a safe outlet through which to ridicule and critique the king, hopefully preventing him from making stupid, broadly-destructive decisions Trump lacks the judgment to understand, like medieval kings did, that jesters are helpful!
