Beyond demonstrating that they're Christians who like to decorate their house, and that they buy into the mainstream Christmas narrative, it doesn't really display any craziness. Maybe if it said "Wish Jesus a Happy Birthday, Sinners!" you'd have something; or if it were accompanied by a story of what happened inside.

Around that time Hillary was photographed drinking a beer (maybe the same trip?) so she is a drunk whore. /minor news cycle scandals from years ago

Oh, yeah, Obama and Farrakhan are best buddies. Let's see what Farrakhan thinks of Oba-- "Louis Farrakhan via The Huffington Post posted:"We voted for our brother Barack, a beautiful human being with a sweet heart,” Farrakhan said, in a video making the rounds on the internet. But he has turned into someone else, Farrakhan told the crowd. “Now he's an assassin.”  Well, okay then. But as a radical Muslim, I'm sure Farrakhan completely disagrees with Phil Robertson and the Bible-- "Louis Farrakhan via The Christian Post posted:"Now I want to ask a question," he continued while holing up a Bible. "Why is that all you politicians take your oath of office on the Bible? If the book is no good, what the hell are you using it for to take an oath of office to uphold, not the Bible, but the Constitution? But the Constitution comes out of their recognition of the value of this book." Oh. So Louis Farrakhan is still a bigoted, religious shithead above all else, and his beliefs on gay people are informed from the same body of scripture as Phil Robertson's. Funny how that works!

Also no Christmas isn't a 'pagan holiday', it was timed to go along with solstice festivals but it wasn't some re-purposed pagan festival (in before someone says Saturnalia, which involved poo poo like gladiator matches and a ton of other things that somehow never made the jump). Shockingly at the time there weren't a ton of ways to celebrate for the layman so yea most every party boiled down to 'come drink wine and get dumb with us'.

It's obvious nonsense. Obama wouldn't sign up for the exchanges since he gets his health coverage from his employer. And he's got a birth certificate, which is proof of citizenship. It's just something conservatives made up to make themselves feel good.

In that image, both 27 year-old dudes faced rampant wealth inequality that Democratic governments mulled over tackling through large spending programs - it's just that today's 27 year-old doesn't have an unambiguously evil right-wing dictatorship bowing to the wills of a crazy person bent on world domination and persecuting minorities... that is, until the Republicans go full-gently caress crazy!

If you view it through a prism of how we went wrong as "We don't have Hitler in this generation" and them wishing we had Hitler back it's much more entertaining really. What we need nowadays is less talking about important domestic social issues like health insurance and more shooting Germans to fight Hitler I say!

I actually enjoy the show despite the outside drama (and I loving hate reality TV, generally), but it's always fun to see what kind of poo poo gets churned out to fulfill a contractual obligation. It's a nice gently caress you to all the idiots saying they should just walk to spite A&E and make A&E beg them to come back and apologize profusely to Phil Robertson.

So, here are the years those companies were founded: Apple - 1976 Mattel - 1945 Amazon - 1994 IBM - 1911 We should be thanking Taftomics for IBM's success.

I'm still a little lost as to the glorification of "The Greatest Generation", and then they use it as an excuse to slam Millenials. Chances are the idiot that made that meme is a.) Not a part of "The Greatest Generation", b.) Has never served in the Armed Forces in any sort of capacity. I also don't understand the whole "WELL X-COUNTRY DID WORSE TO THEIR GAYS! FOCUS ON THEM!/WELL X-PERSON SAID WORSE COMMENTS, AND HE'S A LIEBERAL!". Shouldn't the point be you should hold yourself to a higher standard?
