Further evidence, if any more were needed, that these pig-ignorant sisterfucking hucksters should be taxed for interfering in politics, and better yet, should be institutionalized.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

There's a name badge in that picture so I looked it up. Apparently Alveda King, MLK's niece, is on the board of "Black Voices for Trump". MLK must be rolling in his grave.
People like this used to be institutionalized
I'm pretty sure that's how they justified the Crusades.
It is so unlike for far-right religious leaders to side with pedophiles, I am very surprised.
The world's religions see no problem with sticking their dicks into children.
Far-right religious leaders should all be used for chum
US was justifying its genocides in the middle-east by "they are religious extremists." How much of it was projection?
All
And he's just the addled shitbag to make it happen.
Imagine believing that your all powerful god is so weak that he has to wait on you to start the end of the world. Pathetic.
It's even more comical than that. Their own scriptures say that nobody will know the time of the end of the world. "I will come as a thief in the night." But in their arrogance, they think they can force God's hand.
Fundies never fail to escalate the stupidity and to stir up shit for the rest of us.
MAGA and religious zealots are like two peas in a pod, ready to use fear, disinformation and wealth for their purpose of subjugation, oppression and even genocide.
Religion is the greatest threat to peace and human well-being.
Always has been.
'the end is near' is key to the 10% tithe grift. same since i can remember. believer; what need money for, here.
MAGA is a pedofascist death cult.
If they are so desperate to die, they can do it by themselves and leave the rest of us out of it.
If you lived the miserable, joyless, superstitious, sexually dysfunctional, paranoid, clueless life that one of them lives, you'd probably want to join a death cult too.
If they all Raptured themselves, the remaining world would be much better off.
Religiosity has been in decline in the US, hopefully the ultra performative sect that's influencing him makes it happen even faster.
I wonder if that's the key to Trump still being so popular among Protestant Christians after so much proof he's as evil as it gets? That they see the only way out of the incredible mess the GOP (primarily) has made of the country and world is for the "End Times" to arrive, condemning everyone in the world except themselves and rapturing their gullible asses out of trouble.
They really believe that Jesus is going to beam their fat asses up to the mother ship. These people are scary.
I should have paid more attention and been more vocal. Every time those people came to my door telling me how everything was better when "god chose kings and leaders", I should have had facts to refute them. Hopefully I will be able to in the future.
If you invite them in and have an honest conversation with them they leave and never come back.
A few years ago, I lived in a grand old house in a nice bit of California and we'd occasionally get Mormon missionaries knocking on our door. One time, a couple of them caught me while I was off work and relaxing. It was a boiling hot day, they looked like they were suffering, so I invited them in and offered them some herbal iced tea and homemade fig bars (my wife's a bit of a hippie, what can I say?). We talked a fair bit about religion, but I'm a non-believer, so that could only go so far. I have a policy of not trying to convince people to become an atheist, but if they ask what I believe, I'll tell them. These young guys were recruited in Provo, suited up and sent off to Sodom-by-the-Bay to have doors slammed in their faces. They were naive and were very polite, nice guys.
To their credit, when I'd be in town after that, if I saw one ride by on his bike, he'd always wave and say hi, despite the fact that I'm an evil infidel.
Pro tip: don't try that with Jehova's Witnesses, they're paranoid, hyper-aggressive and, in my experience, devoid of manners.
I don't think facts would have helped you. This isn't something they reasoned their way into. You're not going to reason them out.
Can I make them question their reality?
Yes, by utterly and totally defeating them.
In my experience, no. But by all means try. Maybe you can plant a seed of doubt that grows.
Be Socratic though. Fewer facts, more questions.
On the plus side, they can no longer open the Nuclear Football suitcase because it's been inadvertently sealed shut by Pentagon Pete masturbating furiously and shooting "tributes" on it.
Unlikely. Kegsbreath probably has constant brewer's droop, and that's one of the reasons for his endless over-compensative macho posturing. That, or he feels attracted to twinks, but thinks that'll send him to hell if he acts on it. And that's why he's so obsessed with the soldiers he surrounds himself with being clean-shaven and not overweight.
Well if Iran has nothing to lose and the US thinks it’s the end times this is going to end so well…
so…. The Crusades 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm pretty sure there already was a second crusade between 1147–1149. If we're counting, we're up to the 9th or 10th crusade, depending on how you group the last of the crusades.
These dipshits always see everything in such stupid terms.
I imagine a future where such people are sentenced to be put into VR where they could live out their sick eschatological fantasies. That's unless some kind of therapy doesn't come online for such people, as I think they have a (probably as of yet named or recognized) mental disorder
Blind faith is a mental illness as far as I'm concerned.
Doesn’t that story also include the Antichrist who’s “charismatic” and fools them all into fealty to him?
An immutable property of marks is that they don't know they're being conned.
Far right leaders want to see trump ignite armageddon, making him the antichrist.
If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will be tormented with fire and sulfur." Revelations 14:9-11
The mark on the forehead says “MAGA”
It's kind of amazing, but these religious whackjobs may have a point. Current events are following the Armageddon myth almost perfectly:
Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist? Here Are the Biblical Predictions:
They're idiots. They don't even realize that it's impossible to immanentize the eschaton, according to their own holy books and most of the better related fanfic.
What this shows me is that the fascist playbook has been the same for literally thousands of years. Descriptions of ancient despots apply equally to the modern-day ones.
That, and numerology is completely bankrupt. You can manipulate almost anything to fit a specific numeric scheme if you want to.
These people are a danger to the rest of us. They are mentally unfit and lack basic decency.
Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?
