@rhysmorgan @Huntn00 @arstechnica Try again. Jesus Christ. “Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or a cleaning, because it gets in the lungs and it does a number on the lungs, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with it, but it sounds interesting to me. The light kills it in one minute."
"It wouldn’t be through injections, almost a sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has effect on a stationary object." (WTF?)
@Huntn00 @arstechnica other way around. Trump was probably influenced by these bleach peddlers.
@rhysmorgan @arstechnica That’s a possibility. He still sounds like an imbecile who thinks he’s a genius.
@Jey_snow @mhansen #Trump Strictly my opinion, what non-religious people need to know about #Christianity in the USA is that a portion of it, I would identify some evangelicals, have broken bad as the phrase goes. Not only have they forgotten the teachings of Jesus to ❤️ one another, but they are actively attempting to institute a Christian theocracy and embracing the Devil incarnate, Little Donny to tear down the Nation for them to accomplish this goal. 🤬
@mhansen Just to clarify, I don't think non-religious people *need* to know about all kinds of religious, I just think that people pick things up about the most common religions in your community from hearing public discourse
@mhansen I think that, for a nonbeliever, just to know there are different kinds is more than enough. Like, I couldn't tell you the difference from a GM or a Volkswagen, but I'm aware they're somehow different cars 😅
@bacchus1234 Excellent article. Capitalism is not patriotic. It is more than willing to disenfranchise millions of fellow citizens in a heartbeat to profit self, to raise China and the 3rd World up.
As this article points out the history of Capitalism, I’ll add it is motivated primarily by wealth and greed. The proof is in the pudding.
A problem is that the masses are not equipped to fight it until maybe they're in dire straights with nothing left to lose, then maybe it becomes a revolution. 🤔

@arstechnica “Stupid is as Stupid does” or is it “gullible gulps”? Hence the frequent references to Koolaid drinkers (Jonestown). 🤔 Not helping was Trump’s inquiries about injecting beech. I guess the Church of Bleach was listening. Lysol ended up releasing a warning “under no circumstance”. If you listen to Trump’s suggestions, he sounds like #TheHeadImbecile. 😑

@persagen Mindlessly reducing taxes has been the 40 year old mantra of the Right Wing, first used under Reagan to win votes, and cause the first serious post WWII budget shortfalls as a reason, “we now need to eliminate social programs”. We desperately need a honest National dialog about what we want our Govt to provide while staying afloat and how to pay for it. You’ll never get this discussion from the GOP and the Dems are too scared of Right Wing attacks and how the sheep will react.
@Huntn00 I watched a Florida gelato public sales business owner who voted for DeSantis solely because DeSantis opened businesses early in the pandemic (risking peoples' health ...). The owner sold more gelato, made more money, was thrilled.
Likewise an illegal immigrant (2020; midwest; 60 minutes?) - long established restaurateur who bought into Trump's reduce taxes; immigration pardons propaganda; ... voted for Trump so he could make more money; applied for citizenship; deported to Mexico
@Jey_snow Not really, it’s simple awareness or general knowledge that in the realm of God/Jesus there are Catholics and those not Catholic- Lutheran, Presbyterian, Babptist, etc. As far as people in Germany who describe themselves as protestant, I don’t know other than they are saying they are not Catholic? Or maybe they don’t want to divulge more than that. 🤔
@persagen The choice is between an old traditional, liberal leaning politician who cares about the country or an old, corrupt, poisonous, destructive, self-destructive, mafia style POS whose desire is to destroy the United States of America and have himself crowned Emperor over the Fascist States of America. How hard of a choice is it? 🤔
Yet, consider the self-employed Hispanics I know, decent people otherwise, who voted for Trump because he is “good for our business”. My god we’re f*cked. 😪
@Huntn00 interesting, that last part sounds very German (Datenschutz). Thanks for the insight :)
