to be fair, if i saw that bear cosplay coming my way, I’d walk the other way, too.

terrifying.

you got a of backslashes in that string, causing it to not work.

If you turn off markdown you can see what I’m talking about (and if you plug in some alt text between the brackets, it helps with people who are vision impaired.)

You’re not wrong, but, eh. I wanna see the obviously-fake-statements by obviously-not-trump. This might get interesting.

The implication I haven’t seen explicitly mentioned in the article (which it should be! Bad article) is “there is no way for Trump to stop the war without losing face and thus his power

basically what I was trying to get at. But I’m not sure that it’s a matter of losing face, and rather that Netanyahu is holding some damning evidence (of the epstein files variety) over him.

as mentioned on other posts, the easiest way to deal with blackmail material is to just release it all.

Trump, as an individual may not have a way out. Remember, Epstein was Mossad-trained and probably shared a lot of useful dirt with Israel.

But there is always a path to peace; and in this case it starts with the US backing off. Iran doesn’t have much capacity for war beyond protecting itself.

Exactly the same as how there’s a way for Russia to have peace in Ukraine.

And hair plugs.

For what it’s worth, i was referring to Jesus being okay with genocide.

(if he’s really god and really still, you know, not worm food,) The only reason Jesus wasn’t a white supremacist was that he wasn’t white. he was also, basically, what we’d call a religious fundamentalist today- he advocated to a return to the written law of moses in comparison to the pharisee’s adherence to the oral law (“tradition of the elders”). Which, the oral law eased certain things.

But yeah. the OT is replete with all sorts of awful and abhorrent things.

You don’t even need to go there. the simple fact that trump and Kegseth and the others still draw breath while doing this shit in his name suggests something. Either that god is not all powerful, that god is oblivious (and not all knowning); either of these two lead to it being not-god… or that god approves, and therefore evil.

This you?

Yes. yes it’s you. I am not painting you with a brush. “The Media” is not making you (“Level Headed Christians™”) look bad.

Very few people are saying “all christians”. There are plenty of people who are both christian an standing against this… for example Bishop Budde who more or less called trump out to his face. An most the people who can be construed as saying that usually have some good points as to why.

It’s unsurprising christofascim crops up because Jesus himself was rather fascist. I know. you’re probably hissing at me like I just sprouted horns and a forked tongue an snake eyes, maybe a heart-spade tail, even.

But it’s true. Yeah. Jesus said “treat your neighbor as yourself”, but “neighbor” meant something different to him. It was more like “kin”, or maybe “clan”. And the law of Moses that Jesus explicitly endorsed has always made a distinction between Israelite and everybody else.

But Jesus also said the written law of moses is to remain in place until all time. And yeah. That’s the kind of legal code that expressly permits slavery, forces young women (girls, probably) who were raped to marry their rapists, commands the slaughering of ~60% of women on the nights of their wedding because god doesn’t understand biology, and stoning of disobedient children.

the peace and love stuff is reserved for the “right” people.

Because they’ve always been fascists?

Naw. Their gods are cool with innocents dying.

Their own scriptures make it clear.

You don’t get to excuse yourself just because you think your version of Christianity is the right and they’re not truly Christian.

They’re using your god to commit genocide. And frankly, if your god is real, he’s probably cool with it.

Also? The persecution complex you’re rocking is tiresome. You’re not being persecuted so quit it.

He’s an angry drunk and a christian nationalist.

of course he’s into the violence.

pretty sure that’s netanyahu’s plan.

I’d suggest it’d be hilarious if an alligator ate bum, but really, that indigestion would be no joke… and the aftertaste is animal abuse!

(Seriously how I feel right now, lol.)

Yay! Death cult is doing death cult things!

Interesting. If he really felt that way, he probably could have called off his cocksucker. I mean. really.

The asshole priests, too.

“Wait? This worked?!”

/sigh

Because things have always been the way they are today.

The point I’m making that you’re either ignoring or that you’re not understanding is that Rolex’s weren’t always so expensive, especially when you consider they’re mechanical and not digital, extract power from your wrist’s motion and have been known to run decades without any maintenance all in extreme conditions… and all that at a time when your cheap five dollar watch didn’t even fucking exist, and has never been able to replicate it’s endurance. Rolexes started as the affordable-but-reliable option and became the highly-valued, expensive pieces they are today because of their utility.

Completely unlike lambo supercars, which have always been temu ferrari, and catered to a very select group of stupid people.

that you think rolexes fail just demonstrates you don’t actually know what a rolex is, or who used them. and that’s okay. but don’t sit there and pretend like your $5 cheap piece of crap whose band will break inside a month is comparable. It’s laughably not.

rolexes are actually extremely well made, though. that’s why they became so well-valued.

They were the watches people used because they were reliable and bomb-proof. (sometimes literally.)
