We are used to our joints aching and not sleeping and we really, truly don't have a fuck left to give. It becomes a source of pride to piss off numb nuts who shouldn't be allowed to cross the street by themselves. It's kinder than ripping the wings off butterflies and infinitely more satisfying.

It's the passage that ends with "whatever you do for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you do for me."

Most of the evangelicals and all of the Prosperity Gospel followers believe that what you do for the richest of these is the most important thing to do in the eyes of God.

SORRY TO HOLD OUR DEMS TO THE SAME FUCKING STANDARD I WOULD HOLD REPUKES.

sorry for not being hypocritical enough for SOME people.

Fake pro life. When they are really pro living it up. Fake religious values should be exposed at every chance. You may not be religious and that is fine. But people should not make others they are representing think they are great followers of religion when they are truly pigs of the highest nature. If the republicans use religion as being against the church and state separation thing then we have every right to show how phony they are. Evangelicals and prosperity religions preach mostly the OLD testament completely ignoring the NEW testament teaching of Jesus Christ the person that Christianity is suppose to be based on. Not much Christ in their Christian values is all Nancy Pelosi is finally pointing out to Americans who fall for all the republican lies.
I do not go to a building to get my religion but I do believe that truth and being nice is better than being like republicans, fake at everything they claim as theirs morals. Go Nancy.

The allegations you make to better justify an absurd statement are... most creative.

The important thing is you pivot criticism against your initial absurdity to a general assault on women everywhere, and pretend that consistency of absurd statements justifies the absurd statement.

And maybe type more phases in all caps, too-- as that truly illustrates the true depth of a rational mind.

I've been out doing things so left Nancy on the TV to keep the dogs company while I was gone. Three hours later I'm listening to MSNBC on Sirius in the car and they go into that "Will the Democratic Party cut Nancy Pelosi loose" panel. I get back into the house and there she is, still standing, still reading Dreamer stories, now with Ted Liu and others behind her. DAMMIT!

Social media (Twitter, Facebook) is the same, big $$$ donors (Kochs, Mercers, Religious Right, NRA, etc.), Fux Ruse propaganda, Russian money and connections going strong as ever (sanctions not being enforced), the cult/base is still drinking the Kool-aid, etc. What has changed?

Hillary underwent something like 11 hours in one session.

(16?) GOP candidates could not bear to share more than two hours in a debate.
