They couldn’t afford trump pardons, anyhow. The asking price was $2 million each.

It was called the ‘Demon Core’ after all.
What a lunatic. Yeah, demons scratched him in his sleep – in the bed he was sharing with 4 dogs.
He and his compatriots have completely lost the plot. It would be funny if they didn’t have such a large and rabid following. Instead it’s sad and terrifying.
I really hope I’m wrong, but I fully expect at least one shooting incident at a polling place today. I’ve seen multiple posts by redcaps claiming they plan to go armed, and they seem to be spoiling for a confrontation. I really hope everyone can stay safe.
He’d have to go to the same polling place though, right? Seems unlikely the people he assaulted would be keen to let him back in.

That’s good to know, thanks, especially since I do buy Cottonelle for spot washing. I’ve never flushed them, but it’s nice to know they’re not obnoxious like the rest.
It’s not just the grease. These stories come up every few years (the recent major fatberg in London was what pushed me to get a bidet), and they’re caused by a combination of grease, paper, and ‘flushable’ wipes.
I’m not saying he wasn’t progressive for his time in the context of those stories, but progressive for his time still meant the utter suppression of women within the culture.
Women weren’t allowed to have opinions, conduct trade, or own property, because they were property themselves. eta: and Jesus didn’t explicitly say women should have those rights.
If you believe the bible is the infallible word of god, it shouldn’t be controversial that women are like livestock.
Now, you can rationalise progressive values by saying if Jesus was alive today, he wouldn’t have gone along with all that, but that’s just not what the bible actually says.
Can you name some that actually are?
Because everything I’ve read says they’re not. They may not damage your septic tank or internal home plumbing, but they cause problems in the city sewer, including greatly contributing to fatbergs.

If you look it up for yourself, you’ll find scores more. It’s an inconvenient truth, but this was big in the headlines after a huge fatberg caused major issues in London and it was deemed a major part of the problem was ‘flushable’ wipes.
e: a quote from the BBC: ‘None of the flushable wipes marketed as “flushable” in the UK actually passed their rigorous testing.’ – and the standards there have been higher than in Canada.
Some people flush paper and wipes, other people wash bacon grease down the sink, those combine to make fatbergs. Both things contribute – but if you do neither, the problem decreases.
Yeah, contradictions are baked in, which is part of why it’s endured this long. But for the misogyny and sexism specifically, there aren’t really any contradictions.
Jesus never said woman are equal or slavery is wrong. You could maybe argue he didn’t condone the genocide of his father by saying lepers deserved compassion or whatever (though that’s also a stretch), but there’s plenty of misogyny and racism in the new testament as well, so he absolutely did not counter any of that.
Anyone trying to argue Jesus (an apocalyptic preacher who was a product of his time) wasn’t misogynistic doesn’t actually know scripture or history. The preacher in the article is absolutely following the gospel, even if that’s an uncomfortable truth.
It’s leaning red again, but only 11% reporting, so it’s still too early.
