Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't all that hedonism in the Roman Empire a symptom of the corruption? I thought the massive economic and social inequalities plus a reliance on foreign soldiers to fight expansionist wars (partly due to dumb land inheritance laws) did in the Western empire, which humans definitely learned a lesson from and never, ever repeated.
This is a good article but falsely premised on the idea that this guy can feel “shame” or “embarrassment “ if these tapes are shown. The tapes are proof positive that he’s a righteous dude. Feature not a bug.
he has no reason to feel shame, in his mind he's doing exactly as god commands and demands of him. I actually think that's one of the worst things about christianity, "those people" feel that their interpretation of the Bible is god's will and he divines them the right (obligation) to impose it on everyone.
Something tells me this Speaker limelight ain’t all that Mike Johnson was expecting when god chose him to take the gavel. Dudes like him just double down forever on their insane beliefs, taking all this heat, criticism and horror as proof that their mission is righteous. I have no doubt he and his covenant wife are praying together to be strong, keep fighting to deny lgtbq+ people humanity, and above all deny their own unholy bodily desires.
Is it irony (I struggle with it) that conservatives misunderstand societal realities and human behavior so badly they want to ban vital transgender care but push tragically harmful gay conversion therapy? It may not be irony, just tragic and maddening.
I know that Lee and the other traitors lost big time. And I know that many years after the Civil War, monuments to the traitor-losers were erected to keep Black people in their place. And Black people finally said fuck that, and that's why assholes like you don't have your Robert E. Lee statue anymore. It's been reduced to a pile of ingots.
Um, where are you watching from, Mars? The left is totally not melting down. You want to see a melt-down? Look at the Republican Party. Man, these trolls are really living in Opposite World. Or did you maybe land on the wrong planet?
Some people only derive joy from seeing people they disagree with upset. Is that where you find joy? I think if you’ve paid any attention to the past 3 years, it isn’t the left that’s melting down. The only difference is, I don’t celebrate your pain. I want people to stop letting politics divide all of us. Only the politicians and fundraisers and lobbyists and talking heads benefit from all of us not liking each other. If we all found common ground, starting with insisting on facts, truth and rejecting misinformation, we’d all be better off. We will never agree on everything, but we solve nothing by seething with rage or wishing harm on people we disagree with. Just my opinion.
Fuck "Day of Truth" I'm waiting for the Night of the Long Knives when the MAGA's smoke the Christian Nationalists or is it the other way around? I dunno, some group of right wing lunatics takes out another group of lunatics by practicing their 2nd Amendment rights MAGA!
foot size can be changed . . . there are still some women victims of "foot binding" extant.
[ i'm sure there are some "conservatives" who think this is just hunky-dorey ]
Do these fuckwits believe that Jesus hated sinners and advocated for torturing them?
Because that's not what my Bible says.
Creeps like this make the Catholic Church look like boy scouts. Oh wait...

Please Mr. Hurst, please continue to hammer this! You are the only news source out here doing it and IT NEEDS TO BE DONE!

Sociopaths have no conscience, thus no shame. Feature, not a bug. Ugh.

Wait, so now there's something *wrong* with torture?
Has anyone noticed that Mike has a pretty mouth?
Man does that guy ever have a Creepy Youth Pastor vibe.

Mike doesn't believe that gay people exist, but he does believe that Adam and Eve populated the Earth after having two sons. Shrug emoji.
Had to repopulate after Noah with just one family. Very ick.
And that a dinosaur ate Eve’s apple.
The Left is melting down. Excellent, cry more.
where the fuck IS john galt?
It would be funny if we didn't see the disablement.
The Left is melting down the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that stood in a park in Charlottesville. Suck on that.
Take an online course from Brion McClanahan, you clearly know nothing about the Civil War.
I know that Lee and the other traitors lost big time. And I know that many years after the Civil War, monuments to the traitor-losers were erected to keep Black people in their place. And Black people finally said fuck that, and that's why assholes like you don't have your Robert E. Lee statue anymore. It's been reduced to a pile of ingots.
Cheers!

Oh, look, somebody who things Ayn Rand is lefthanded reading.

our Mommy Blog turns its lonely eyes to you.
Fuck off, Jan.
Goll-lee gee whillikers! Let me get my camera!

I wonder how many times he was pushed into a gym locker in middle school? Just goes to show you how bullying can come back and bite you on the ass...
"It's time we have an honest conversation about homosexuality".
We're trying, Mike, but you and your ilk keep butting in with unhinged homophobic bullshit.
That honest conversation might be a tad difficult. Why not start with an honest conversation about something simple and straightforward.
It's time we have an honest conversation about whether Trump won the 2020 election.

Either way, long as the popcorn holds out.
