Are You a “Jesus” Christian or a Republican Christian?
As Gandhi said, “I like your Christ, but I really don’t like your Christians; they’re nothing like Christ.”
Sydney Powell and Rudy Giuliani are the two most visible attorneys who were involved in promoting the Big Lie, and they’ve both been disbarred in their respective states.
Great cartoon.
Re: the meme here, a reader notes: unfortunately this concept has been disregarded for the last couple of years.Obviously, science “happens” when people with the appropriate background and training call into question today’s beliefs and offer new hypotheses for testing. The results of these experiments are peer-reviewed, and, if they stand up, they are published as “what science now believes on xyz subject.”
Unfortunately, what we have now are car salespeople, plumbers, real estate agents, grocery store clerks, and baseball coaches who say they’re “questioning science.” That’s actually not what they’re doing at all; they’re really simply parroting someone’s disinformation campaign.
This is counter-productive; it does absolutely nothing to forward scientific inquiry, while harming our society’s capacity to deal with lethally dangerous conditions.
Here’s just one more reason that Trump is going down: people are starting to “put two and two together.”
Apparently, Jerry Blackwell, the prosecutor in the George Floyd murder trial, left jurors with these final words before deliberation began: “The truth of the matter is that the reason (Floyd) is dead is because (his murderer Derek) Chauvin’s heart was too small.”
This figure is up markedly from the 52% who felt this way six weeks ago, but that was before the January 6th Committee’s televised hearings.
This is true, but it would be quite silly to believe that the attack is over.
Nothing says “we simply don’t care about the future of our kids” any louder than our cutting funding for public education.
In 2016, U.S. voters elected a truly evil man to become the most powerful person on Earth. Four years later, a sufficient number of the folks had realized Trump’s true nature and that his re-election campaign was doomed to defeat, and so he began to weave the narrative into the Republican base, “The only way I will lose this election is if it’s rigged.”
