Dems would have to win all but two of the thirty-three 2026 Senate races to reach 67 votes (including independents). I wouldn’t hold my breath.

It is not a mistranslation, it’s very clearly talking about same-sex intercourse. The “mistranslation” angle is being invented out of whole cloth to retcon the Bible.

I appreciate the Christians who are trying to be accepting of LGBTQ+, but IMO they should just acknowledge the Biblical authors were wrong about this instead of pretending they didn’t say what they said.

Sort of. This is a new set of charges, it’s unclear from the article how much overlap it shares with the previous case.

The Tate brothers have been under criminal investigation in Romania on charges including human trafficking since December 2022. They were arrested in late 2022 and later indicted on charges they participated in a criminal ring that lured women to Romania, where they were sexually exploited, but a court later ruled that case could not go to trial because of multiple legal and procedural irregularities on the prosecutors’ part.

No shit:

He has also cheered on ICE raids, writing on X last year: “Total legal immunity for ICE agents when they’re on duty.”

He posted in 2025: “We have got to deport millions and millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters.”

Yiannopoulos also advocated on social media for “on the spot deportation for anyone who can’t prove they are in the US legally”.

They didn’t say “North American,” they said “American.” Everyone who speaks English understands that “America” on its own is almost always in reference to the USA.

I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it’s to gouge out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.

You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Boops boops

ICP have a meme-famous lyric that goes thusly:

Water fire air and dirt, fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist, Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.

Kirk wasn’t just some “talking bobblehead,” he was a moral monster with a large following who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings. The fact that his voice will no longer be a part of the national discourse is an unambiguously good thing and is worth celebrating, and I refuse to be ashamed for doing just that.

You keep handwaving Kirk being a moral monster who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings as “You just disagree with him.” Why?

No, that’s “The Americas.” In English, it’s widely understood that “America” on its own is referring to the USA.

No, see, you’re thinking of “Rule of Law,” the principal wherein the same set of laws apply equally to everyone regardless of station. “Law and Order” has always been conservative NewSpeak for keeping the lower classes disenfranchised and demoralized via fear of Law Enforcement.

“I was just giving orders.”

An assumption of 99% false sightings is not a statistic. Statistics are analyses of measured data, not assumptions. To know the actual percentage of true sightings, you’d first have to confirm that some sightings are actually true, which would require some actual evidence of ghosts/aliens.

Consider the inverse for a moment: if ghosts/aliens don’t actually exist, then the percentage of false sightings must be 100%, not 99.9%. As long as you start with the assumption that there are some true sightings, you’re just starting with the assumption that ghosts/aliens are real.

Don’t feel too bad about it, even ancient Greek philosophers thought the same thing in the time before modern optics.

Apes are monkeys, in the same sense that humans are apes.

Not even. He officially left the Dems and registered as independent earlier this year.

Notice also how their go-to response is to talk about their right to vote for third-party candidates, which is a strawman of the criticism they typically receive. They can’t and don’t engage the actual substance of criticism, which is that voting third-party under our first-past-the-post system is a bad plan that has a proven track record of accomplishing absolutely nothing.

Good thing we always have old faithful- racism and sexism. That’ll swing those undecideds.

At work, both the resident Gen-X divorced-dad asshole and the luddite boomer have taken to complaining that “We’re all going to be called racists and misogynists for not voting for Kamala” while grousing about hating her more than Biden, never once mentioning a single point of policy that they dislike.
