They’re done.
They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why:
“They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy.”
“For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity.”
But the RAPIST. YES. DOCUMENTED RAPIST you welcome with open arms. Hypocrites liars and thieves.

@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.
@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 😅

“Church of Bleach” family guilty on all counts, plans to appeal
The family, who represented themselves, did not speak during the trial.

@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 :)

On July 19, 1963, a group of Black girls marched to desegregate their small town theater in Americus, Georgia.
The local police responded by beating them and taking them to an old Civil War stockade, where they were kept for 45 days.
Their parents didn't have a clue where their children were.
