So I was very fucking curious about this myself. So I asked many of the pro-zionist Christians I know, including a few who run some things.

They legit won't believe it's happening or that there's any significant population of Christians anywhere there (which is a red herring). If you show them the oldest church that got destroyed months back, they just tune out. Won't believe it. They say it's propaganda. Then they'll show you some Amir Tsarfati Telegram vids that are totes real when he is the most blatantly obv shill I've ever seen.

I was even told, by more than one person when I brought up some Biblical quotes, and I shit you not: the church fathers were anti-semitic. The church fucking fathers. That's insane to say. Like, okay, let's assume it's true... don't you think they'd have a reason to not really like the Pharisees???? Like wtf???

I'm all for if you support Israel. There are legit reasons to do so. But if you're at the point in your Christianity where you're calling the church fathers anti-semitic so you can support Isreal...you might be a dishonest motherfucker.

This has been going on for years. JRR Tolkien even mentioned it, how mysteriously Protestants refused to believe anything bad about the Spanish commies.

The problem was obvious: they didn't see Catholics as part of a wider Christian community. So they didn't actually care if nuns were raped, they refused to believe it because they identified more with the commies due to propaganda.

The parallel is obvious.

Bondi is to blame the most because she's clearly addicted to attention and finds every excuse to go on Fox News and run her mouth.

Bondi is the face, Miller is the legal guy behind the scenes. She's suppose to be putting a pretty face on the DOJ, but she's doing a terrible fuckign job of it. I don't think Miller could ever get confirmed, but Bondi has got to fuckign go, she's the one that made these stupid fuckign statements. EAGLE ED MARTIN is the only one I think that would actually be good pick.

Trump saying that hybrids are doing really well makes so much sense, they are like the perfect middle ground and covers every use case people currently need their vehicles to handle. I don't know why we aren't pushing for more hybrids instead of chasing retard technology that doesn't live up to the hype yet.

My plug-in hybrid kicks fucking ass. I've got 650 miles on my current tank of gas, which is still 3/4th full. Effective mileage on this tank is 180 MPG, and overall across 18,000 miles its average consumption has been 77.4 MPG, which includes four cross-country trips (where it didn't get plugged in during the trips).

It's a Prius Prime, which doesn't have Tesla-sized batteries, but just enough to run about 25 miles on a charge before switching to regular hybrid mode (which is how it gets such high mileage for in-town driving). A full charge costs about $0.30-ish. Over the life of the car (almost 3 years now), I've only ever fed it 226 gallons of fuel, for a total of $766.08, or about $25 per month (total) to operate including electrical cost to charge it at home.

I fucking love it. Wouldn't trade it for anything else.

The Internal Combustion Engine and the Electric Motor have been working in concert for 80 years in hauling the majority of overland freight in America in the form of Diesel-Electric locomotives. For non-performance oriented vehicles, Hybridization is the way to go. Even giant mini-vans like the new Toyota Sienna and Kia Carnival get north of 30 MPG nowadays, and the Chrysler Pacifica Plug in Hybrid gets north of 45 once you count for winter tanking the batteries.

It's so good that I want fuel economy restrictions abolished. The technology has clearly gotten to the point where the economy cars can sell themselves, but I lament seeing the end of NA V8s in performance cars, what Stellantis did to the Charger and Challenger is criminal.

The plaintiffs have no case; Congress can fund/not fund whatever they want.

If you read the case it's incredibly stupid. They basically whine that "congress targeted only planned parenthood" and then later say "there's other organizations that are prohibited" also they make a strange technical case that planned parenthood state members aren't owned or controlled by PPFA. But also, their case is something like "non-prohibited PP members MIGHT be prohibited from getting funding"

They call this a bill of attainder, which it isn't. It doesn't make anyone guilty of a crime without trial. As for freedom of speech, as far as I can tell, none of the restrictions are speech related. They are really convoluted to primarily hit PP members -- need to have billed medicaid more than $800k in 2023 -- but the rest are fine.

It's a wacky combo of lacking standing (there's no harm done yet!) and also congress didn't do anything unconstitutional? Failing to see why a TRO was granted on something like this.

You know, before this is all over, something will have to be done about these judges. This sort of shit is just blatant ideological foot soldiering.
If the feds even feel compelled to do anything beyond ignoring this, their only response should be "Your Honor, come the fuck on".

That's what evangelical protestantism does to a mfer. They were so miffed by the Catholic Church's rigid theology and hierarchy (which admittedly does have problems) that they went to the other extreme and rejected most or all forms of theological expertise or connection to the apostolic church in favor of personal interpretation that often goes against God's true intent, in the process acting much like a rabbinical Jew in trying to cheat or play God. Is it any surprise that they share such an affinity with modern Talmud worshippers?

Crazy judge blocked the BBB's defunding of Planned Parenthood:

Didn't we JUST have a SCOTUS case in which the majority ruled that District Judges can't make these sweeping nationwide decisions? It was the one where Dipshit Jackson Brown made a fool of herself in her dissent and ACB pointed out that she wanted an Imperial Judiciary. (I haven't read this Planned Parenthood thing yet.)

Judges think they are gods. They literally think the shit they put on paper are magic words that compel.others to do what they say.

This is a new level of retardation. Being the most charitable the judge knows it's unenforceable yet is doing this to show "they are gutting medicaid" by saying you can't kill a kid so it's just an attempt at DNC talking point confirmation, but we're reaching a point where these district judges need to have their order just on hold for a red light/green light from SCOTUS proper. Basically every night the judges go home, open up some gay ass email of all the injunctions for the day, and just say yes or no to letting them go through.

Not surprisingly, the entity in question is a repulsive sheboon.


A sick ideology attracts sick people and eggs them on to be sicker still. That’s how the world gets cursed with neoliberals.

Ironically she's married to a white dude......

So her logic is kind of astonishing, she is at the very least implying that people should not help and donate cause the girls are white, then she goes and gets bedded by a White Devil.

The Dollar would have been replaced after Corona had every other major currency not had the exact same idea as the US did and printed and borrowed trillions of USD worth of their own currency to keep the line going up. China, Russia, India, EU, everyone's had their currency values decline sharply over the last few years, but since they've all done it, nobody's emerged as an island of stability to really counter the USD.

Well BRICS is surely making that i attempt i suppose

Zohran seething about how white women aren’t interested in him. Sad!

Yes we did.

Did you really expect them to actually obey? Fortunately with SCOTUS ruling the way they did, the administration can safely ignore this kind of shit now.

 

[SITHRAK!]

It's a secular democracy.

Can you explain the secular reason why Jews and gentiles can’t legally marry each other in Israel?

[mandatorylurk]

This sends me into a rage:



You autistic fucks need to get curb stomped for doing this shit, even those trying to help thinking they're going to get super famous saving a kid. I've been reading there's been an overwhelming response of people coming to help but it's reached the point where they are not capable or trained to do anything and are just taking up space. Read the fucking room, go back to your neighborhoods and raise money or go find the gay liberals cheering for this and beat them up in minecraft.

 

[obsdj]

Yes we did.

Well, whatever, here's a link to CourtListener if anybody wants to follow the case. Hopefully Kennedy's people are drafting a motion for SCOTUS to stay the injunction, A! GAIN!
