Taylor Swift’s sex life is only thought about by creeps like you, bucko.

Jesus, conservatives talk about her so much they’re the real Swifties.

This is a beautiful example of resistance. I predict Texas prevails in a mostly peaceful display of Biden Administration weakness.

After weeks of articles of inscrutable vacuous sophistry, you dug deep and wrote an article that may very well be recorded in history decades hence. My only deviation is that there are large blue havens in Texas that didn’t really exist 30+ years ago, where there are enough quiche-eating, slack jawed, fern- growing, limp-wristed, man-bun wearing effinimate-but-still Texan man-boys who could undermine the rest of the real men in the right type of circumstances.

Why do all you wingnuts dream about Civil War? Are you really that anxious to start killing people? Is it because you miss Military service and you want an opportunity to kill people again? Why don’t you get it out of your system? Take your Assault Rifle down to Texas and pick off a few starving kids as they try to cross the Rio Grande. Maybe kill a couple of pregnant moms before they are caught in the razor wire and drowned. Maybe if you are a good enough shot you can blow the head off of a dad with a toddler on his back, without hitting the toddler. These are invaders. Christ would want you to kill them.

Are you really buying into that BS by the orange Putin lite that the DOJ, the FBI, and the CIA have been weaponized? It’s such garbage. Trump is a criminal. He stole government documents, lied about having them, and then tried to obstruct justice by hiding them. He tried to overturn an election with lies and then by force. He lied on bank financial statements and tax returns. No one is going after him for any other reason. Give me one example of any of these agencies going after someone who did not commit a crime. You can’t.

No one is cancelling conservatism. You and I will never agree on what “conservative” is but for your purposes, no one is telling you you can’t hate gay people, Mexicans, minorities, Muslims, and Jews. (Yes, we all know the right hates Jews. There were neo-Nazis openly walking around CPAC this year and they all support Trump.) No one is taking your guns. No one is making you buy an electric car. No one is telling you you can’t do anything that does not hurt other people. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do that you could do 30 years ago, but the government won’t let you do today?

And taxes, really? We have historically low taxes. They could even be lower but your buddy Trump had to give away trillions of dollars in tax cuts to giant multi-national corporations and billionaires. That is why we have a soaring debt, and it’s less under Biden than under Trump. In the meantime, the Stock Market is at a record high, unemployment is at a 40-year low, GDP is up, the Trade deficit is down, and manufacturing is returning to the US at a record pace.

Finally, I will never understand how you and all those idiots that worship Trump can support a man who called our war dead losers and suckers.

And one more point. If the SCOTUS rules, as Trump has argued, that the President of the United States can kill anyone he wants to, and do anything he wants, so long as 34 Senators refuse to convict him in an impeachment trial. I expect Biden to do the right thing for this Country.

Conservatives Lack Empathy March 1, 2024 at 7:24 am

“Christ would want you to kill them.”

Unironically, all the wars in the Bible were because of this, as were any “holy” wars.

More specifically, this is what the rulers told their people in order to goad them into the wars and killing. Nothing has really changed. Guys like Drunkle are given the “God said it’s OK” draped over fascist nationalism and they get their murder boner and grab the modern equivalent of the jawbone of an ass so they can go John Wick on the scapegoated groups.

Unfortunately humanity has not evolved from its most primitive ancestors enough for us to discard superstition, false prophecies and fear, hatred, and mistrust of people society has placed firmly in the “out” group. I’m not really saying religion is wrong, just that the bad elements of the species will morph it into something that is. These same folks would crucify Jesus on his second coming for being a dirty brown socialist, some have actively rejected Biblical teachings like turning the other cheek, helping the poor, granting mercy to the sinners, for being “too soft”.

These guys are beyond empathy. If they had even an ounce of it, they could bring themselves to admit that they’d probably risk their lives “illegally” crossing the border too if it meant escaping the conditions some of these folks have had to live through. Conservatives seemingly think they waltz 100 feet across a red carpet in air conditioning into their million dollar mansions but there’s a lot of poverty and death to face to leave the poverty and death that they were in just so they can live with just poverty over here.

If it meant a better life for my kids, I’d do it too.

Also, there’s a lot of conservative ideas like the “War” on Drugs, murdering banana farmers or other protesting laborers, and other foreign policy meddling all throughout Central and South America that create the conditions these folks are fleeing from. But, not only do we not talk about that, we don’t want our kids learning about that, because out of sight, out of mind, right?

BREAKING: Suspected felon spotted at US/Mexico border.

Man is charged with 91 felony counts and is an adjudicated rapist — and also owes half a billion dollars in court judgments.

The suspect is still at large.
