These were the believers in climate change



You mean the very climate change that indeed created wildfires in January, which is the furthest away you can get in the year from the natural time of wildfires in California? Seems like they were right to believe in it then, huh?

Or was your comment a more ghoulish "Haha, your climate change came and it ate your house HAHA!"...which...brother, there's literally no need to act like that.


Obviously he's getting payback for how mean we all were when one of his favorite vacation spots was consumed by the fires that destroyed Lahaina. So that's why he's gloating now.

Oh wait... no, of course nobody (here, at least) was like that at all (iirc) when he posted about it.

Maybe it's because he's such a good Christian? So he's giddy and gloating over heaven-sent hellfire consuming those DEIvil worshipping Demon-rats? "Sinners in the hands of an angry Go*!

your [...] best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider's web would have to stop a falling rock. Were it not for the sovereign pleasure of God, the earth would not bear you one moment; for you are a burden to it; the creation groans with you[...]

The wrath of God is like great waters that are dammed for the present; they increase

... of course, in the era that's about to dawn (in about seven days), you can just replace the word "God" with "Trump" in that sermon...

And obviously when fires destroy LA it's sweet baby Jesus exacting vengeance, but when fires destroy a place these "Christians" like it's... the DEIvil and/or the Demonrats?

That said, perhaps we should appreciate his honesty. Relatively few would publicly confess such sentiments, even anonymously (or then again---would they?... I haven't been checking Twitter or monitoring 4chan---though "relatively" is the key term...).

The Village People and Carrie Underwood performing at Trumps Inauguration is kinda wild. I mean the LGBTQ people should be up in arms about TVP..what the fuck are they thinking?....but I'm sad to learn about Underwood....but it sounds like her NFL husband is DEEPLY DEEPLY right wing conspiracy theorist....so as someone whose sister was radicalized by a deeply right wing husband (my brother in law), I can see how she fell for it. Still, sad to see.

The Village people were probably just happy to get a paycheque. Those residuals for 'YMCA' can't be what they used to.

My buddy asked if maybe they saw the video of him dancing to it, and saw the pay check?

Victor Willis [of the Village People] had even asked that Trump stop using the song—but now the group's stance is that Trump should keep it up, since he's "having a lot of fun with it." The usage has brought the group "several million dollars," Willis revealed [...] "It's [Trump's] anthem." [...] "Come January 2025, my wife will start suing each and every news organization that falsely refers to 'Y.M.C.A.,' either in their headlines or alluded to in the base of the story, [as] a gay anthem"

... those could be some interesting court cases, if they actually follow through. Wonder if they'll be able to judge-shop their way to a hardcore Trump crony...

This being his theme song is like some Teetotaling GenXer having Tubthumping as their theme song. Its just hilarious.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

That full Daily Beast article surely must have been destined for The Onion and took a wrong turn, because I can't believe it's not satire!

Republican congresswoman [Nancy Mace ...] was offended that [Black congresswoman] Jasmine Crockett had called her "child" while criticizing her fixation on anti-trans messaging.

[...] Mace immediately interrupted, yelling: "I am no child! Do not call me a child. I am no child. [...]"

While Crockett tried to continue speaking, Mace kept screaming.

Mace shouted over Crockett. "[...] I am not a child. I am not a child. If you want to take it outside."

[...] As rioters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6[...] Mace reportedly pleaded with her staffers to let her "get punched in the face."

"She literally begged us to let her leave the office and head to the floor so she could 'get punched in the face' and 'get media attention,' [...] "That's word for word what she requested."

lol, very not-a-child... and she's wearing gigantic crucifix earrings. Because when Jesus said turn the other cheek, he meant with punches...

You think it'll end in 4 years time? Musk won't let it. They'll get around it I'm sure.
