The other jurors have spent all week calling the lone male holdout an arrogant, uncooperative dummy who didn’t understand the law or follow the rules. Now we come to find out that they were talking about the only black guy in the room this whole time. Leftists have accidentally sided with 11 white bullies against a black man who stood up to them. Just an absolutely amazing twist. You couldn’t script it any better.
Guys, the single-income, middle class household is a historical anomaly that basically only existed between the productivity boom of late industrialization & the global demand explosion for American industry after WWII. Women have brought in income for most of human history.
@frank_is_a_cat@WilliamWolfe I was thinking the same thing, and just confirmed that prices have always typically doubled every 22 to 28 years... it matches 3.2% inflation, which is practically every standard pay rise I've ever got from any job I've ever had.
@WilliamWolfe I remember getting a Chipotle steak burrito in 2004 (while in college) cost like 6 bucks or more, i think guac was 1.75 ... these prices don't seem unreasonable. 22 years later!!!
Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:
MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”
“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”
“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”
“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”
“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”
“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”
“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”
“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”
“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”
“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”
“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”
[Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps]
“Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”
When I was Muslim, man, this verse used to mess me up.
Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
As a Muslim, I used to think: how does God feel forsaken by God? That sounds like weakness. That sounds like a prophet in pain.
But then I dug deeper.
And I realized Jesus was not speaking randomly. He was quoting Psalm 22.
That entire Psalm, written by King David centuries before Christ, is a prophecy about the crucifixion:
“They pierce my hands and feet.”
“They divide my garments among them.”
“All who see me mock me.”
In Jewish culture, quoting the first line of a Psalm pointed people to the entire passage.
So Jesus was not crying out in confusion.
He was declaring fulfillment.
He was saying: “This is that.”
And at the same time, He was carrying the full weight of sin, shame, abandonment, and suffering for humanity.
Every moment humanity has cried out, “God, where are you?” Christ stepped into that pain Himself.
That is not weakness.
That is intentional.
That is prophecy unfolding in real time.
That is the King bleeding on purpose so humanity could be brought near to God.
That is the Gospel.
“Of course Youtuber has to see The Odyssey, it’s their job! But if they say it’s bad, it might stop others from seeing it”
But what if it isn’t bad? What if it’s good? Sure, the libation still contains the same amount of poison, but what if it tastes super duper yummy going down?
How eager we’ve been these past few weeks to praise Homer’s book, while ignoring his lessons. The Trojans brought the horse into Troy because it was beautiful. Suspicious as they may have been, they lacked the ability to say no, and as a result were destroyed from the inside.
Odysseus’ men were hungry, ate Circe’s food, and got turned into pigs.
Worst of all, we’re rewarding our cultural saboteurs for a couple hours’ worth of entertainment. Trading western history for a salty bucket of buttered popcorn dug out of sandworm’s asshole.
I’m amazed by the irony. Oink.
@marklevinshow You would be dumb enough to believe something as absurdly made up as a 1.8 million follower gain over the course of one week.
Can someone please help Grandpa Genocide log off the Internet so he doesn’t keep embarrassing himself with Zionist propaganda?
Unless you’re an Epstein criminal, a politician committing treason on behalf of Israel, insider trading, invested in data centers, working for Pfizer, part of the military industrial complex, or named Jared Kushner. Otherwise, Kash Patel will find you if you betray this country.
Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.
