My psychiatrist spouse's Freudian theory is that he had a nightmare about a battery and a shark, symbolizing clean energy and nature, two of Republicans' biggest hate objects. (Has he ever even been on a boat? He seems terrified of boats and water.)
This kind of Bible verse, the one Christo-fascists hang their forced-birth bullsh!t on, must have sounded a lot more sensible before science figured out that millions of fetuses self-abort every year, usually before women even know they're pregnant.
The worst sin of the morally deadpan MSM is omission. Felonious Mook denying ever saying "lock her up" is such an easily proven lie, and NPR decided it was not worth mentioning, though every Repug is now saying you should never pursue your political opponents legally. FU NPR.
The supposedly "populist" party has a lot of contempt for the populous. Mike Johnson wants to undo the near-sacred decision of 12 randomly chosen citizens via the corruptly bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS. Vile. Obvious. Stunning. Not even in a smoke-filled room. On TV.
Depraved billionaires are coming out hard for Trump because they see his lawlessness as their fastest route to owning everything and having no governmental limitations. Their goal is to be at the top of a global North Korea. This may be our last chance to stop them.
Trump's decision to pursue an Ozempic body was a big mistake. He looks diminished, scrawny, and deflated.
In Italy they have a saying, "L'uomo senza pancia non è importante." The man without a belly is not important.
Compare.
When ancient Rome started to fall apart it was partly because some corrupt, over-ambitious politicians decided selfish short-term benefit was worth flouting the previously sacrosanct rules and customs known as "mos maiorum." It didn't end well. Hi, Republicans!
The infinitely fractal levels of irony in this tweet are breathtaking. Quantum cosmologists recently proved the theory that Republicans exist to maximize the amount of hypocrisy in the universe. I don't fully understand it, but it has to do with explaining dark energy.
Neutrality theater's laziest habit is that if they report negatively on one side, they try to spend the same energy critiquing the other for the same, even if the parties are wildly unequal in doing the bad thing. I call it the "2 bucket problem."
Here's how it plays out at NPR:
Someone said "patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel," but that's incorrect.
Religiosity. Religiosity is the first and last refuge of the scoundrel.
