They prayed to a golden statue of trump. Whether they're smart enough to cop to it: they are already deifying him.

The church did.

How 'bout those rosary wearing american catholics? The question is: how many of them think this is heresy, and how many think this is a good, actionable idea?

I know we've all asked this before, but I do think this really is the last rubicon. How far is too far? With Trump there is no such thing. Nothing too sacred, nothing that can't be hand waved away by his cult of brainwashed stooges. Literally try to imagine ANY political leader in America throwing such a suggestion out there. They'd be run out on a god damned rail. And Trump is here using official White House accounts to push that horrid picture. For hug Sake. I ******* hate this timeline.

Trump isn't even the slightest bit serious about the quip about being Pope. He actually suggested someone else.

I'm sure he's not. He just likes watching people get overly riled up over unimportant jive.

But he got the official White House account in on it. That picture is a White House record now. Historians are going to be so confused.

Trump doesn't mean to do any of the insane jive he says, unless it polls well or screws with somebody he's mad at, then he intended to do it all along.

Republican defends law classifying slaves as three-fifths of a person

Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith called out Indiana Senate Democrats over their understanding of the Three-Fifths Compromise.

The Indiana Senate passed SB 289, which was introduced by state Senator Gary Byrne, in a 64-26 vote. Beckwith posted a video on Thursday to X, formerly Twitter, criticizing Senate Democrats for comparing the bill to the Three-Fifths Compromise. During the session, Democrats likened the bill to the 1787 constitutional clause that counted enslaved people as three-fifths of a person for congressional representation, arguing that the bill would suppress efforts to address systemic inequality.

Beckwith said Democrats called the bill "bad," arguing that it "actually encourages discrimination, just like the Three-Fifths Compromise," but he countered that "the Three-Fifths Compromise is not a pro-discrimination compromise, it was not a pro-discrimination or a slave-driving compromise that the founders made. It was actually just the opposite. It was a compromise that the North made with the South."

Many historians emphasize that the Three-Fifths Compromise preserved disproportionate power for slaveholding states and was inherently discriminatory. States gained additional representation in Congress and in the Electoral College, thereby entrenching slavery in the national political framework.

He added that the Senate Democrats called it "some sort of terrible thing in our past, it was not, it was actually the exact opposite," arguing that the compromise was "designed to make sure that justice was equal for all people and equality really meant equality for all."

So he's bad at history and math.

It almost sounds like he was trying to truth-bomb them with the fact that it was the south that wanted to count the slaves and the north that didn't (and the south has been trying ever since to spin it as "See? We see our slaves as people and they don't!"), but absolutely butchered it because he's an incoherent babbling moron just like Trump.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners? TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

He’s wearing a tie based on the apartheid era national flag of South Africa, subtle…

To be fair, if I were a black South African, I'd be on board with anything that would make it easier for the whites to GTFO.

RFK Jr went swimming in the Rock Creek, er, creek in Washington DC this past weekend. What so bad about it? Maybe the long standing advisory from the National Parks against coming into contact with the waters due to elevated bacteria levels. Particularly E Coli and “Fecal Coliform”.
He’s literally swimming in S#!T creek

The National Park Service has a longstanding warning against swimming or wading in Rock Creek due to "high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens."
