"when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.”

So we'll be tightening gun laws because we value the lives of the children and adults who are currently being slaughtered literally on a daily basis?

Yup . . . you legalize abortion and you end up with school shooters, just as it turned out in France . . . oh no, wait, just as it turned out in South Korea . . . oh no, wait, just as it turned out in the U.K. . . oh no (how much longer is he going to go on with this?)

NO ONE on the pro-gun side ever wants to look at the experience of other nations because they KNOW full well that it completely undermines their position here at home.

Yes, he's terrible, but there was a pretty low ceiling on crowning the new Emperor of Gilead -- and in fairness, he's only the SECOND worst Speaker humanly possible.

"usher in a new socialist society in America.”

"SOCIALISM!! BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!" is not an actual argument.

I can never remember this guy's name OR face, so I've just started reflexively calling him "Banality of Evil".

"who also thinks that abortion causes school shootings because “when you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.”

`

So Roe was overturned a year ago, and we've had no shootings since then, right?

The further away from Firefly I get the more I don't like the idea of another season. It's so full of lost cause nods that it starts to make feel uncomfortable.

I agree with you, but I'm still highly offended to be lumped in with this loon.

He also believes, I assume, that you hang the toilet paper with the feed coming from the bottom.

Rightly believes Yoko wasn't the main cause of the Beatles breakup. Took him a while to get there given his biblical view of women, but kudos.

Is currently working thru the idea that the earth revolves around the sun in a roughly 365 day ellipse.

but he'd be wrong about the toilet paper, oh well can't be right all of the time!

I have it on good evidence that it is, in fact, correct. My cat tells me it should feed from the TOP, and I believe his motives to be secretly self-serving.

Adam Baldwin is perfect casting for what is admittedly an annoying character.

The Constitution is based on Biblical principles. For example, the rules that all monetary bills must originate in the House, or that both chambers can override a veto by a two-thirds margin are right there in the Bible. Somewhere. Trust me, it's there. Maybe look at the index. The appendix? You know what, do your own research, you heathens!

Well, he’s not entirely wrong about the SUV’s. The climate is changing because of plastic straws.

What I mean is, reducing one’s personal carbon footprint is admirable, but big change has to come from big players. The government and industry.

even if you don't change the energy source, properly insulating every house, apartment and office would reduce the use of fossil fuels . . . by a lot!

[ an HVAC engineer once told me "the cheapest heating or cooling system you can get is insulation" ]

I’m sure you’re right, and I’m also sure that even if we could convince everyone to insulate their buildings- and the government paid for it - that wouldn’t be nearly enough.

“when you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters“

That’s not just a profoundly stupid statement that makes no sense. The right constantly tells its constituents that the lives of ‘others’ don’t matter, and also that they are intrinsically separate from and fighting for existence from the ‘other’ and that is indeed the motive for many actual shooters.

Why is Europe doing this so wrong? Or is it just that all their school shooters want to come here and play in the big leagues?

“I know people are getting anxious and they’re getting restless and they just want somebody to be impeached,” Johnson told Hannity, attempting to mollify him. “But that’s not, we don’t do that like the other team. We have to base it upon the evidence, and the evidence is coming together. We’ll see where it leads.”

Comer's has decided that he doesn't need more hearings. I think Johnson being a mostly real lawyer made him nervous, depositions are where it's at he figures. Then he'll write a report and blah blah blah, seen this movie already. Gymbo's been awful quiet but that won't last. He's sure to try to again to disrupt the cases against tfg. What will the Bible thumper do with Gym?

Ta, Dok. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all and I bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. This comes to you late, because sweet fiance´ Meccalopolis and I took the dogs for a lovely hike up our mountain. My iPhone dropped out of my pocket, and my beloved found it when we re-traced our steps. We also went for a drive (missing a few grocery items), and came back during golden hour. Glorious.

Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get the new vaccine, avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from me and everyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because I love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed Treg among over seven million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel, especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Stay safe.

Slava Ukraini. 🌻🇺🇦💙💛

Your beloved found your cell phone when retracing your steps?

This is either evidence of EVIL WITCHCRAFT POSSESSION or DIVINE INTERCESSION depending upon your attitude towards telebangicals.
