@AriFleischer Get a load of this dickhead. 😂 Ari Fleischer, who is not a doctor, just told Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, an actual fucking doctor, “You’re not a doctor.” The confidence of a mediocre man remains undefeated. 🤷
@ATInsider@richardursomd mRNA is in every single fucking cell in your dumbass body. You are more stupid than the average idiot MAGA and that, my friend, is really fucking hard to do.
I was in London last week. Way, way too many Russians. I don't know how this warring fucking country's citizens are allowed to travel, live and own businesses in the West. Fuck them and their plague. Send them all back to the Motherland.
@AdamKinzinger If you think the Chinese were opaque and unhelpful during Covid, wail til the fucking Russians start killing people with this plague shit.
Jim Bakker died.
When I was about 8 or 9, he and his first wife Tammy Faye hosted a kids show on Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcast Network. By the time I was in college a decade later, the pair had parlayed their TV skills into the PTL Club, which many of us referred to as the Pass the Loot Club. I remember me and my roommates stumbling in late at night and turning on PTL for a laugh as Jim and Tammy cried — mascara streaming down her face — pleading with their followers to send money ASAP because Jesus told them he wanted them to raise a million dollars by midnight and they couldn’t let the Lord down.
Jim and Tammy Faye lived an opulent lifestyle thanks to the scores of ordinary people who would do without to support them and ostensibly the Lord with regular five, ten, and twenty dollar donations. I remember a journalist asking Jim about the gold plated plumbing in the mansion he built at Heritage Village and Jim responded that he was a servant of God and God didn’t deserve no junk.
The whole fleecing the flock scheme came crashing down when Jim had an affair with church secretary Jessica Hahn (who went on to do a spread in Playboy magazine) and he got busted for paying her off with PTL funds and for embezzling millions for personal use. Jim went to prison and he and Tammy Faye got divorced.
I’ve mentioned before that I see parallels between PTL and MAGA. Both are or were led by immoral conmen who lived large on the backs of gullible rubes who were willing to ignore reality to embrace a slimy huckster they thought understood and looked out for them. There used to be a band called Blind Faith, which is also a pretty accurate description of those who fell under PTL and MAGA spells.
Regardless of one’s religious beliefs, you kind of hope there is a literal hell and that it holds a special place for those who enriched themselves by perverting the teachings of Jesus to exploit and harm others.
