So over on Threads, some kook is saying that we all ought to tone down our rhetoric about the president, unless he actually does something that is directly contrary to the bible.
I'm curious about what bible he reads...My bible has some words about rape, murder, bribery, greed, lies...

The prescreening of Melania, Amazon's documentary about the stripper turned gold digger and unwilling first lady, sold two tickets in London.
And ICE agents are complaining that the long hours and public anger are taking a toll on morale...
Sometimes we have to find joy in the little things.

I wasn’t a member the whole time, but it is still a milestone. Everyone is so kind and generous and loving. Most are Norwegian. They will engage in gentle humor towards the “Swedish” Lutherans from time to time. But I’ve found my people.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

I had a fascinating story about Arnold Schoenberg and bananas but I don't think that the people in the produce section were interested.
But they were very nice about it.
Also, when I was typing this on my phone, autocorrect wanted to change "people" to "homoerotica".

Other than the whims of a violent rapist of children trying to deflect, does anyone know why we are bombing human beings in Venezuela?

Fun fact : The original sub title for the book The Five Love Languages was "Things I just made up because they sounded cool"
The publisher decided to change it and market it as scientific fact.
This is satire - and ironically something I just made up.

What radicalized me: number 6
Seeing the normalizing of adults sexualizing children in conservative circles, especially in the purity movement.
And seeing how unsafe the church was for children because of it.
