War Crimes for Fun? Prosecutors Probe Sniper Safaris in Bosnia, Americans possibly involved
This seems bad. Until you realize that an opportunity to monetize nihilist cruelty has American political and thought leaders foaming at the mouth at the opportunity. There is a 100% chance that Elon approves of this sort of thing, and that folks you know very, very well are figuring out how to sell off the right to kill people for profit right now.

Things not going well in Venezuela
Also, the fucking casual racism that is now not just okay, but is our actual national policy, is fucking incredible. Referring to anyone from South America: "Don't know why they are so dirty given the fact that there are so many maids." It's just fucking casual and ingrained in these pieces of shit. So, what's the big deal if we bomb a bunch of dirty beaners anyway? That is absolutely 100% the ethos governing our nation right now. To say I hate these fuckers is a massive understatement.

Oh, I mean....yeah, that goes without saying. Evil bitches can still be hot. Hell, sometimes the "evil" part adds a point.

It's the psychological distinction between "attracted to pre-pubescent" vs. "attracted to post-pubescent." But legally and morally -- which is Megyn's field, she's no fucking psychologist -- that distinction don't make a shit. An adult male being predatorial towards an 8 yr old girl vs. a 14 year old girl makes not a bit of fucking difference. Megyn's an evil bitch.

I dunno. Could be for lots of things. Okay, actual answer -- the communion bread is torn by hand and then served to each person, so I guess it's to keep the server's germy hands from touching the bread. I don't think it was a particularly necessary matter during COVID - wash and sanitize your hands right before you serve, and all is good.

Bolded the word that is missing from every GQP person. I mean, it's like a missing chromosome or something -- it just ain't fucking there, and it ain't never gonna be there.

And...yep. The cross-examination of Colonel Jessup, and the observation that "I think he WANTS to say it" (that he ordered the code red) was not made up. It's how people (mostly men) like him operate. I've examined witnesses like him - and yeah, that often happens. Get them going, and they will give you the "fuck yeah we did" answer of some sort (it's usually not as dramatic as Jessup's, but sometimes just as meaningful). And yeah....I've also defended a couple of witnesses like that. And there is no controlling them or "training that tendency out of them." They are who they are, and no piss-ant lawyer's gonna tell 'em what to do. Occasionally, the smarter ones will later sheepishly acknowledge "well, I guess I made a pretty big mess for you to clean up." The only proper answer is "yes you did. But that's what you're paying me for." If you bill by the hour....those can be good clients/witnesses to have. There are some interesting observations here that I do wish more of the general population actually knew and understood (e.g., how the rich and powerful don't conceal their shitbaggery). There's probably a good list of "shit we have learned about people over the years" that we should compile. Lawyers have a lot of such lessons/perspectives, but I know that engineers, managers, and the like, have their own observed truths to share too.

"Career ending." God, I find it just adorable that there are people out there who think decency and morality and standards and shit exist and apply to the right.

I just listed two that linger in our church. Now, I don't think it was any sort of deliberate decision, just inertia. Once you do it a certain way for a while (eg, communion servers wearing vinyl gloves), it falls into the "that's the way we've always done it" trap.

That definitely had an affect. Shit, it did for us. We didn't really start attending church again till about a year ago. We got too comfy in our lazy Sunday mornings, just coffee and conversation. It was a good distraction, but at the same time, we ended up realizing that we were missing something. And I'd say church services themselves STILL haven't really gotten over COVID. A lot of leftovers (communion servers wear gloves, people don't hold hands during the Lord's Prayer, lotta little things like that). There's a confluence of factors, to be sure.

That's my wife's (hopeful) take: resurrection is a foundational element of Christianity. Not just the "event" of resurrection, but the very concept. And, to be resurrected....a thing must first die. So, maybe it's time for "Christianity" to die. Which is a rough process, sad, and costly. But if Christianity can be what is resurrected, then perhaps that is The Way. We have a lot further to go, though. A LOT further.

1) Fuck that shit, he'll turn out to be MAGA. 2) Like the slogan though -- "Be a lot cooler if you did." That's good stuff.

You may not. But a lot of people would, and have. They don't want anything to do with a movement that is widely and broadly associated with hate and cruelty. "Christianity" is a shit brand in the US these days. It means "I suck Trump's dick and devote an inordinate amount of energy to being shitty to other people." That's not a great brand, and it's a TERRIBLE brand for your core "consumer base": people who are interested in practicing actual Christianity.
