Makes you think

Do you not know that Dave will judge angels?
Christians are interesting because they’ll say things like ‘Lord be with you mighty man of valor’ and you look at who they’re talking to and it’s just Dave.

Fun fact: Sean Spicer is still alive!
STATEMENT FROM SEAN SPICER I want to be upfront and transparent regarding an incident that occurred yesterday. While traveling home from a football game at the U.S. Naval Academy, Christmas music was playing in the car I was traveling in. I have always supported waiting until after the Thanksgiving meal is finished for Christmas music to begin playing and my commitment to that cause endures. I am still recovering from surgery and unable to either drive or ride in the front seat. I have no ability to change the station and am left to verbally expressing my concerns from the backseat where I am currently relegated. It is my sincere hope that my commitment to regular physical therapy will have me back in the front seat in the coming weeks to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Remember that "pollster" that JD Vance called after the midterm disaster? It was this guy:
In our Vance story: The prospect of a war with Iran earlier this year was of such a concern to Vance that he reached out personally to Mark Mitchell, then the head of polling at the firm Rasmussen Reports, to add questions related to a war with Iran to a survey. The results, which were viewed by the Journal, reinforced his belief that the public would be skeptical of military action. Efforts to persuade Trump to avoid a conflict failed W/@PhilipWegmann Free link: wsj.com/politics/elections/j…

Still thinking about the Wicker Man, because that is a crazy movie. I feel like it should be more prominently mentioned that it is a musical.
Strikes me that the entirety of the Wicker Man would be averted if British police were armed with guns and not just, you know, grumpiness.

It finally feels like liberalism is successfully fighting back against the pincer attack that it came under in the 2010s.

Also, a pastor who slept with a parishioner outside of marriage.

A minister of Christ, an actual American, a husband to one, and a father of 6, who has had enough and is prepared to give my life to ridding my nation of foreigners who worship idols and desecrate our country’s heritage.

NB: this only sort of works because you also need to figure out what the potential voter who didn't vote thought, which is obviously very hard to do.
The other thing we could do is just ask voters, which we did, and they all said four or five things, with corruption at the top of the list, and affordability, and the economy overall, and yes, Iran. I’ve never seen people with such obvious agendas refuse to accept the multi-causal explanation that voters wrote on the chalkboard for them in huge letters

Arguing Thanos wasnt that bad and that the avengers are the real bad guys because they cant prevent an interstellar titan with supernatural power and control over space time is actually a perfect synopsis of the average person's misunderstanding of politics and world around them
Trevor Noah argues the Avengers are actually the bad guys “The Avengers is the perfect allegory for the Democrats in America.” “They like to fight against the bad guy, but they do not like to do anything to prevent bad guyness from happening again.” “They’re not willing to sacrifice anything to prevent it from happening.” “At least Thanos had a vision… He was willing to sacrifice something.”

Padme’s medical droid: She just lost the will to live. Me (there for some reason): Wait, what? That’s not a thing. Droid: Good catch—You’re right, my first diagnosis of “lost her will to live” was incorrect. She actually had a massive cerebral hemorrhage.

This really sums up the DS9 experience. It really could be anything: any level of quality, any level of seriousness. Every episode was a whole new world.
Deep Space Nine had an episode where an entire ship of child soldiers die and the episode after that was Quark being forcefemmed

I'm going to work on the assumption that the new Senate won't approve any appointees, so it's going to be all vacancy act appointments from here on out, with the circle getting ever smaller and more insular. Who would want to join these jabronis anyway?

Don’t mistake this as some principled stand for Christendom. Joel is ok with demon worshippers in his party. He has welcomed neo-Nazi pagan worshippers of Thor, Odin, Tyr, Freya, and Wotan into his political coalition. He has welcomed those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit like Alex Stein into his coalition. Dont make mistake this for a shrewd political calculation either. Harmeet has been a champion for defending the civil rights of young white Christian men in the DOJ. Is is obviously political and electoral suicide, but pride blinds people. And this is prideful bigotry. Such behavior was condemned by George Washington, who said this of foreign religions living in the United States: “For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens.” It is also condemned by scripture, which calls which condemns the sins of pride and partiality. Joel Webbon has become the pagan he claims to fight. He has, in the words of the Apostle Paul, “exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.” Joel is a flesh-worshipper. He is a self-worshipper. And inward worship always breeds insanity and destruction. He will accomplish nothing for his movement or his country. He will destroy everything around him. And when everything is ashes, he’ll still have his god, which is himself, which is all he wants anyway. Don’t follow him to your own destruction.
Demon worshipper. Get out of my country.

He's quickly becoming the eighth or ninth most embarrassing person connected to the royal family.
