The cartoonist's opinion expressed here is #1 same-sex marriage is not a threat to society, the kids will be just fine, and #2 climate change is loving real you idiots, let's do something about it already.

It is not homophobic.

If he did say the name and it was the meme or whatever generators fault that'd be acceptable.

If the dude crammed all night on Iran just to keep up then that'd be understandable but still lousy. If the majority of the republicans platform is that we need to continue being hostile towards Iran and they can't keep straight basic facts about their government then at the very least they have no business making that a part of their platform.

Of course that'd be the ideal.

Went to look up the video, found this copy. At 39 seconds he says the name and it's very very clearly Khamenei not Khomeini. The meme maker hosed up not Cruz, either intentionally to try to make Cruz look bad or because they themselves can't keep straight basic facts about their government. That doesn't mean Cruz right about Iran, but let's not pretend he is scared of a long dead man.

Because North Korea's nukes are terrible and lovely. Everyone saw that footage of their sad little test rocket and the massive hardons they have for some terrible, perpetual threat to the nation immediately deflated in disappointment. By not having nukes, Iran still has the potential to create super-nukes for us to get twitchy over, and then we get to scratch the itch by making more bigger weapons of our own.

In my🦚 experience🛠️ the big things🌑 don't teach you anything🤷‍♀️.

Nap Ghost

So let me get this straight.

1. There are already laws on the books! Toothless laws that are unenforceable given current budgetary constraints due to Republican pseudo-austerity, but still. Laws! Just enforce those with the no money you've been allotted, in the weeks before you're replaced with a free market solution. Ugh. Government can't do anything right.

2. Those laws are being replaced by executive diktat! That's a foreign word, so it's automatically more scary than, say, executive "order." Executive orders are what our guys do. Also diktat specifically refers to laws without common consent and 'half the nation' kind of implies common consent. And also, if the old laws didn't work we should really replace them, but never mind that, I used the word diktat! Diktat! DIKTAT!!!

3. And the white house falls down because it has no foundation and because of that people with Arabic names exist. gently caress it. gently caress this and gently caress Muir.

Are there specific laws that have become a talking point recently that he is referring to?

And Muir is not someone I expected to use 'a house divided' in such a way. I don't think his readers (or himself probably) will associate it with anything besides Lincoln.

I feel like the use of Bismillah there is...weird. Especially with the bolded emphasis. If he's awed or surprised at the concept of the Capitol Ruins having no foundation, surely Subhanallah would fit more. If he felt remorse, Innallillahi is a more appropriate term. If he felt glad (because All Muslims Despise USA's Freedoms) as the lack of foundation ease the Caliphate Expansion into the North Americas, Alhamdulillah would be spoken. If Achmed felt that his predecessors rightfully colonized the Great Satanistan, with help from the secret Muslim cabal of Jewish Communists conspirators (also featuring Atheists and Socialists) and thus felt pride as he now sat on a poor American, he would shout ALLAHU AKBAR and proceed to recite the 60th verse of Al-Anfal.

Bismillah is usually said when one started something, do Muslim Americans use it differently?
