Fuck the Southern baptists. Wastes of air, every. single. one. If you are a Southern baptist, you are not a true christian and will hopefully visit the hell you fear here on Earth, just like you want same sex couples to experience. You are played out. You will not win. Human decency will prevail.

To those progressives still using substack, you are supporting nazis’ ability to make money (LOTS of money) from their hate speech. I would assume you don’t like nazis, but maybe I’m wrong? Why not join your brave comrades in leaving substack and show that you are not a nazi?

“Given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said

Prison for these DOGE fucks. We won’t be forgetting their names.
DOGE guy at the CFPB owned verboten stocks.
He was explicitly warned by ethics lawyers that he wasn’t permitted to take any action that could benefit those companies — and him.
He then helped fire workers anyway.
