The Mormons are also into dispensationalism, the main change they make is that the 6th dispensation ended and the 7th one started with Joseph Smith.

You are so right. Get this emboldened jerk out of our world. The entire thing is a grift. Not unlike dispensations in the Catholic Church ⛪️ : pay up! A toll for heaven. An absurdist dramady.

bullshit. the GOP won't do a damn thing. they are just jockeying for special dispensations and payoffs. they will go all in if 47 tells them to. the GOP has given up so much authority they have no way to get it back. EVER!

Equality threatens those who have always enjoyed unquestioned preference & privilege, who have taken for granted their unconditional & unearned advantages.
They know without the benefit of those undeserved dispensations their mediocrity would become clear.

The entire legal theory of Trump and MAGA is that friends get special dispensations, enemies can be killed at will, and anyone who complains about this is a chump.

This is part of why I go on and on about the deliberate suppression/hobbling, both then and now, of public media in America

She gave Trump the big bloated bill with her vote. She better be careful what she says if she doesn’t want those special dispensations cut off

Murder is murder.
Enough is enough.
The cancerous Stephen Miller Administration has made a hard segueway from brutal buffoonery & small, cruel dispensations of scapegoating to the ratcheted surveillance- terror state of mass suppression of the limited democracy still existent in America.
counterpoint: we should maintain if not increase the hateful rhetoric bc he is in fact a murderer
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

excellent

(early followers should be first in line for fancy titles/cushy sinecures & dispensations imho)

but if it's one of those all rules no fun type deals I'm out

What she's really saying is the UK *shouldn't* be given any dispensations, which is an opinion, a highly defensible one even, but not the same thing.

Special dispensations had been given for the period away from work

i went to college, dropped out after 2.5 years, went back 9 years later and finished, again with special dispensations to allow me to eke out a degree (despite no diagnosis, it was again a matter of me having gone above and beyond in other areas)

And by your ignorance statements, ignore all the fraud that goes on in all the Republican states because that's exactly what's going on. Alaska has the highest fraud rate of any state yet they were granted special dispensations in Trump's big ugly Bill.

NYT: Israeli Government Accuses Mamdani of Antisemitism Over Canceled Orders

Undoing special dispensations is not the same thing as "singling out Israel for sanctions". Not sheltering the government from criticism by labeling it antisemitism restores the standard for all governments.

This is the substance of all. It is the end of all words and writings; yes, it is the end of all the dispensations of God since the beginning."

Ethnic minority? 🙄🤦‍♂️ Any other special dispensations they would like to apply for?

Membership dues, fundraisers, private donations, events. No tithing. No dispensations either😜

Plenary Dispensations - or, in modern parlance, preemptive pardons.

At least, that's what I've been expecting - we probably won't find out until someone gets caught in the act and pulls a pardon out of their pocket.
