What if there IS a god, BUT he isn’t all powerful and all loving, merely powerful enough to manipulate people into believing he is. Holy books mere propaganda, spiritual experiences mere mind tricks, all to deceive people into worship.
How could a believer tell the difference?

@TheTweetOfRhea I’d usually say it’s bunk, and maybe it IS just shared false memory, but…
The Berenstain/Berenstein example perplexes me, since I even pronounced it (and often still do) to rhyme with Einstein. My brother and wife both also remember it with -ein, but it has always been -ain
@TheTweetOfRhea Not sure about the rest of you, but I’m from the universe where instead of “Berenstain Bears” it’s spelled “Berenstein Bears”. I know this because I pronounced the “stein” like in “Einstein”, since I had only ever read it. #MandelaEffect
When a dude is fighting for his life and his country under dire circumstances, I'm pretty sure nobody cares if he's wearing a suit or not.
Nobody decent.
Republicans now warning that releasing Trump’s tax returns could mean releasing Supreme Court justices’ tax returns.
Exactly. For example, Americans deserve to know who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club balance, $200,000 in credit card debt, and $1,200,000 mortgage
The January 6 Committee has just referred Donald John Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution.
There is sufficient evidence that he committed multiple crimes.
And it’s past time for him to face justice.
If you say, “The Democratic Party has too many flaws so I’m choosing the Republican Party,” it’s like saying, “My steak is over-cooked so I’m eating shit sandwiches.”
You know who eats shit sandwiches? MAGAts. Even if steak is available and is way better for them.
Please PLEASE can we get everyone with a modicum of sense and a platform to speak out - celebrities, media, influencers, ANYONE - to call this card thing out as ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RIDICULOUS. We should embarrass the ever-living shit out of ANYONE who thought this was a good idea!
"When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts. Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won it. Believe me, my friend."

You know how they got people to stop jaywalking in the early days of automobiles? A coordinated and deliberate campaign to embarrass the hell out of jaywalkers. Maybe we need to embarrass the fuck out of these idiotic and corrupt MAGA morons. Damn deluded cultists.

I don’t care if it’s an interview, an instagram post, a video, even a casual conversation - no matter HOW unrelated to the immediate matter at hand - everyone should be POINTING AND LAUGHING at this fucking clown and his clown car packed full of ridiculous assholes!
