Just like Yahweh, who is blameless in his own sight. Even when he breaks his own moral codes, it's okay, because he's God. lol

God murders and enslaves countless people, but the entire human race is guilty by association, because a couple of them...

[Checks notes...]

Ate a magic fruit that made them understand the difference between right and wrong.

And of course the people had to be running around naked in a garden, but that was just to get everybody's attention so they be listening when it got to the talking snake part.

I wonder if the guy that wrote that actually expected people two thousand years in the future to take that literally? Did they have something like a Pulitzer Prize for children's literature two thousand years ago, and what would have been the standard of excellence used to award such a prize?

No wonder people don't have a hard time believing Trump. We are a planet of lizard brains that are drawn to the wisdom of con artists and charlatans, while they reject the hard work of those who actually make life better for everyone. May the coming apocalypse put us out of our misery once and for all.

Yeah, if the apocalypse doesn't come, then maybe in 2000 years people will actually believe that a fat bearded guy flew through the sky behind flying reindeer and brought presents to good little girls and boys. 🎅

I want one of those Canada Is Not For Sale hats!

I saw those too. I like the one that said, "Canada Is Already Great."

Trump has a clean conscience, because he's never used it.

That feather isn't winning this one. (Egyptology 101)

Sieg heil!

Haven't been keeping up, how did T.rump blame the cold weather on "illegal" immigrants?

[Sargon The Grape]

I wanna know how proclaiming that there are only two genders is going to reduce the price of eggs.

We could've been a normal, decent country.  We really could have.  That's what hurts the most.

Pretty sure that we never really did, despite some real attempts for it. #sad

No shit. 1956. First grade, first time riding a school bus. ALL the busses get diverted to the town square. Black man hanging from a tree, guilty of doing what black men couldn't do with white women.

This bastion of the Old South was Alexandria, Indiana.

Adm. Linda Fagan was the first female commandant of the Coast Guard. She assumed duties as commandant on June 1, 2022.

Fox News first reported Fagan's termination, citing issues with recruitment, operations concerns and a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion as the reasons for her relief.

Trailblazer.  Can't have that.

Btw, the recruiting figures dropped largely due to covid.  And we all know how poorly that was handled and who was hosting superspreader events throughout.

And finally, she was unanimously confirmed in 2022 under *gasp* a Democrat.  Petty tyrants act in petty ways.

Trump reverses Biden policies on drug pricing

Biden's bigger health care initiatives, such as a $35 monthly cap on insulin, a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap on prescription drugs and Medicare's negotiating drug pricing provision weren't affected by Trump's executive actions Monday.

"When administrations change over, many of them want to undo some of the actions of other presidents, even when those are more symbolic," Dusetzina said. 

Still, she said, Trump's move signals that the incoming administration may be unwilling to move forward on any policies laid out by its predecessor.

"It could mean that the Trump administration is not interested in pursuing any of the work that has since developed out of these executive orders," she said.
