Honestly at this point it's not even about left-right politics. It's about holding Trump and his ilk accountable. And I mean *really* accountable. If ADX Florence isn't full of Trump toadies by the end of the decade, the Democrats are a failure of a party.

“That is strength, boy! That is power! What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste. Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!”

A ringing endorsement from a highly qualified expert on human sanity.

“This is a travesty. If making allegedly questionable surgical decisions is a revocable offense, medical licensing tribunals would be in permanent session.”

ymmv but i have zero trouble believing that guy fieri has no idea who the tate brothers are. he seems incredibly offline and has an essentially perfect reputation otherwise.

Yes, Christ’s criticism of the Pharisees in the Gospels was famously because they refused to publish favorable propaganda of the Roman government, and had nothing to do with them using empty religious window dressing to oppress people and consolidate their own political power. Irony is dead.

Any feel for how much of this is grassroots, individual Texan donors and how much of it is DNC war chest, @dicknixon.bsky.social?

It’s almost like he wants some sort of wall of separation between the Church and the state. Interesting.

I’m sure he was. That’s the problem. Jesus is a joke to him.

The Pope advises JD Vance to stay out of Church doctrine.

Look at this brave Red Cross worker helping what I can only assume is a poor flood victim.

We’re on the weirdest timeline.

Chat, is it a good sign when Shakespeare quotes from…*checks notes* King John…start being pertinent to current events?

ARCHBISHOP MULLALLY HAS NO PLAN FOR FUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE

The Ayatollah to Trump:

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Not voting for Democrats was a very effective strategy in 2024.

What America really needs right now.

PSA: Call your congressman and senators. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

Idea #1: vote for Democrats and end the war causing the high oil prices. Idea #2: see Idea #1

“And the Oracle said unto Croesus that if he should send an army against the Persians, he would destroy a great empire.”

So brave.

You know what? Good for Mitch McConnell. It can be tough finding love past a certain age.

Americans being American in the comments will never cease to be annoying.

I think he meant Operation Linebacker II. And amazingly that's not the most historically inaccurate part of that sentence.

Good grief you illiterate simpletons, he’s not saying talk therapy isn’t abuse, he’s saying “the Court uses the term physical interventions, but it’s really abuse.” And now you’ve made him quit BlueSky by dogpiling on him when it’s you who can’t read at a 5th grade level.

Me and my list of grievances every time I get one of these GOP fundraising texts.

“Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward." - Literally Jesus

Modern day Antinomianism. St John would have a stroke.

Honestly our best hope at this point is that the nuclear codes require some sort of grade school level arithmetic or grammar question to access them.

Unless you're doing something silly like, I dunno, trying to debug a Blazor app in a Docker container.

Gonna tell my kids this was Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump.

MASSIVELY BLOW UP

I hate to say it but green is actually a good color on him. I think it’s complimentary to the spray tan.

Can somebody please pinch Rubio? Thanks in advance.

Temu Tom Haverford strikes again.

Could make that case. Did.

“I have sent Caesar a strongly worded letter, and we will continue to only block half of his agenda until he agrees that his legionaries illegally in the city will receive more training and better equipment.” - Chuck Schumer, if he had been a member of the Roman Senate. Happy Ides of March. #NoKings

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit.

Other than that, how was the theater Mrs Lincoln?

WHAT IF WE SIMPLY ROLL THE SHIPS ON LOGS OVERLAND TO WHERE THEY NEED TO GO LIKE SULTAN MEHMED II
