He’s been a disgrace for NC from the beginning

Yes! All the finger pointing at the orage god that nominated him does not absolve the sheep that confirmed him and the plethora of other terrible choices.

It’s almost impossible to argue with an emotion. The GOP figured that out years ago and has exploited it with unabashed cruelty.

He’s an amoral coward.

They’d have to find a real Christian before they could display an anti-Christian bias. These evangelical apostates are not Christian

The mythic image of the cowboy or hardy settler needs revised. Both understood very well their necessary connections to those that made nails, plow points, leather, rope, salt, seed, gunpowder, casings, lead, bridles, etc. Community is always foundational. Romanticized individualism is the myth

If this is real, Newt is just reaping the harvest if the seeds he down for years

Hate is more fun than love. Religious devotion uses hate to make folk think they are part of a righteous army that gives their lives some sense of purpose. It’s interesting that historically within any particular religion, the “saints” are the ones martyred by their members for preaching love

Odd that the argument before WWI was that business men knew how to run the world and they keep making the same pitch. Of course, the ones in the arms industry are rejoicing

The author should write one on apostasy. Apparently it’s a red hot favorite in the churches

Jonestown Guyana is proof that the cult will drink the kook aid before ever admitting they chose the wrong messiah

Musk only values money and power. Even if you piled up the dead in front of a Tesla dealership, he’d just shrug and keep on denying basic human morality

Schumer has been ineffective this whole period of time. Democrats are a little late admitting it

How much blood will it take to satisfy these moral cesspools?

The only verses they think are inspired against certain behaviors are the ones they don’t do themselves (at least in the daylight).

That’s because they figured out the cult members will drink the kook-aid in adoration of their god even as they know he is poisoning them

Lies roll off their tongues like warm honey on a hot rock. What’s sad is the number of people who knowingly lick the rocks.

Always has been. When media claims it a “pivot” toward Putin, it’s just an exercise in covering their willful refusal to do their job

Yes. The host we will kill is the human community. We are all linked together in spite of the romanticized notion of personal independence.

It’s on those that voted for him or third parties or stayed home. The rest of us get to live with the consequences of those choices. And, as a reminder, the early enablers of what became MAGA have discovered the truth that when you sow to the wind, you reap the whirlwind.

I tried to get through to Senator Tillis several times before the Patel vote. The “send” button would never work. These people have been neutered by their orange god
