You worry too much…Worst case is Trump gets term limited out.

Well, I definitely worry too much.
But, in this case, I think 4 1/2 more years of trump and the irreparable damage to our country that it could cause is legitimately worrisome. Just having RBG replaced by another Kavanaugh is pretty terrifying. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Yes, the 6-3 ruling was a pleasant surprise. Hoping (but not thinking) that kind of thing keeps happening.[/quote]
All that effort to get your guy on the bench, all the money, and he basically takes a giant crap on every evangelical church in the nation, essentially telling them G-d doesnt hate fags and you cant fire them.
Haha,suck it christians!!!
And to add insult to injury, gorsuch claims his opinion is based on originalism, the plain text of the law!
As does the dissent.
Which indicates that “hey just read the text, no interpretation allowed ” is a theory that may not be useful in hard cases at best, and is a GIANT LIE at worst.
Bad day to be a tinyminded shitty little christian conservative.
So funny! Made my day.

Hi White, you sound extremely upset. You ok? This all must be very frightening for you.[/quote]
Not too bad. Feel a bit safer with the Christian right beaten a few millimeters back.[/quote]
That sounds horrible. All Christians? Just the Christians on the “right”? Any other religions that have you peeing your pants? I haven’t noticed all these masses of Christians that are upset over this opinion. You must know a lot of Christians. Hopefully they’re not White. That would be very scary.

Oh, hi White. When you “run into a lot of them”, what do they look like? Is there a special place you guys meet and they come up to you and introduce themselves? Do they just start rambling about how American Evangelical Christiany they are? And, specifically, they were outraged about this decision that just happened? How horrible for you. You must be the most unlucky person on the planet. Maybe if you were less White that wouldn’t happen. Please be less White. Thanks so much.June 16, 2020 at 8:38 PM #818329Participant[quote=PCinSD][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=PCinSD][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=PCinSD][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=zk][quote=Coronita]

ParticipantThe attempted insurrection on January 6 would never have happened without right-wing media.
Tens of millions of Americans would not believe the lie that the election was stolen without right-wing media. They wouldn’t be living in an alternative-facts universe altogether without right-wing propaganda.
126 House Republicans wouldn’t have signed onto a brief supporting Texas’ lawsuit asking the Supreme Court to overturn the results of the 2020 election if their base hadn’t been whipped into a frenzy by right-wing propaganda.
There wouldn’t have been nearly so much support for state legislatures overturning election results if it weren’t for right-wing propagand.
donald trump would never even have been president without right-wing propaganda, and a couple hundred thousand fewer Americans would be dead right now.
donald trump is obviously a moron and a buffoon and entirely incompetent. And that’s why, despite the support of right-wing media, he wasn’t able to complete his attempts to subvert our system of checks and balances to the degree that he was able to steal this election, despite his best efforts.
But the next demagogue or the one after that might not be such an idiot. And, with the help of right-wing propaganda, demagogue with fascist desires who is more intelligent, competent, and charismatic than trump has a real shot at turning our country into what trump tried to turn it into.
If you still can’t see that right-wing media are destroying our country, you’re either a victim of right-wing propaganda, or you’re just not paying attention.
February 11, 2021 at 10:00 AM #820550ParticipantIf you cant see evangelical leaders are traitorous scum, youre not paying attention.
That evangelicals overwhelmingly still think trump is excellent, it makes me think, i do not trust evangelicals generally. Call me crazy…
Actually thats unfair to single out the evangies. I think its no longer a stretch to say the entire republican partys congressional leadership are traitorous scum.
People who are still lockstep republicans, who think nothing to see here, lets move on…i dont trust you…as a human.
Im open to being persuaded otherwise, but it appears the facts speak for themselves. It disturbs me to think that im as vitriolic as the qanon crowd, but basically i feel like if one still consumes right wing news media in a mindlessly pro trumpian republican way, such a person is an idiot, unamerican, evil or all three.
Which makes me sad, to have those thoughts about others who probably feel theyre operating in good faith and want to act in what they perceive to be the best interests of the country…
No one thinks theyre evil. And yet, sometimes, someones mistaken. Mayb e its me. I think all of this was pretty foreseeable a long time ago…but trump derangement syndrome was what antitrumpers like me were diagnosed with.
Why isnt trump derangement syndrome used to describe people who are still pro trump?
Somethings definitely not right in the usa. In a way its a shame some congressman didnt get executed. Would make the political thaetre a bit more absurd.
A nice beheading in the hallway. Perhaps pence or pelosi.
February 11, 2021 at 10:03 AM #820551Participant2003: it would be hilaroous if iran or iraq isdued the same statement about the usa,
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Declaring that freedom is “untidy,” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Friday the looting in Iraq was a result of “pent-up feelings” of oppression and that it would subside as Iraqis adjusted to life without Saddam Hussein.
He also asserted the looting was not as bad as some television and newspaper reports have indicated and said there was no major crisis in Baghdad, the capital city, which lacks a central governing authority. The looting, he suggested, was “part of the price” for what the United States and Britain have called the liberation of Iraq.
“Freedom’s untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things,” Rumsfeld said. “They’re also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that’s what’s going to happen here.”
Looting, he added, was not uncommon for countries that experience significant social upheaval. “Stuff happens,” Rumsfeld said.
Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, agreed. “This is a transition period between war and what we hope will be a much more peaceful time,” Myers said.
February 11, 2021 at 11:15 AM #820552ParticipantTEHRAN (CNN) — Declaring that freedom is “untidy,” President Hassan Rouhani, said Friday the rioting in the US was a result of “pent-up feelings” of oppression and that it would subside as Americans adjusted to life without Donald Trump.
He also asserted the rioting was not as bad as some television and newspaper reports have indicated and said there was no major crisis in Washington, the capital city, which lacks a central governing authority. The rioting, he suggested, was “part of the price” for what the Iran and Iraq have called the liberation of the US.
“Freedom’s untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things,” Rouhani said. “They’re also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that’s what’s going to happen here.”
Rioting, he added, was not uncommon for countries that experience significant social upheaval. “Stuff happens,” Rouhani said.
Kim Jong Un, chairman of North Korea, agreed. “This is a transition period between war and what we hope will be a much more peaceful time,” Kim jong Un said
