So I was watching The Flash instead (because I want to experience a sane reality where things make sense at least once a week); did Hannity nut up and quit :foxnews:, or was that tweet just a stunt to con people back into watching his show like I fully expected it to be?

Nah he actually did. But then in the same breath he refused to retract the story and blamed the "Destroy Trump Media" (his new favorite phrase) for making him stop talking about it


Yeah he'll pretend he actually has something for a bit but is "respecting the family" by keeping it close until he has hard evidence. Then he'll quietly let it die and hope people forget about it.

It really ends up being more about homosexuality being evil because they're breaking from societal norms and not in a relationship with a primary purpose of procreation. I think a lot of it is about this hive mentality.

What I find horrifying is that someone has to live a lie to make other people happy rather than make themselves happy. If anything, our purpose in life should be to share happiness.

Sometimes it isn't about homosexuality itself being inherently evil. A common Evangelical view is that sex is only for procreation. Recreational sex is inherently wrong. If you happen to have some good feels while doing it to make babies that's OK but it shouldn't be the main driving force. That extends into homosexuality being wrong because gay sex can't make babies. It is purely recreational in their eyes which makes it inherently lustful and thus sinful. These are the people who don't hate homosexuals but want to save them from that sin so they want to discourage homosexuality to save them from sin. They're also against masturbation as it's purely recreational as well as things like oral sex. If it isn't for procreating it's wrong. This is where the Quiverfull movement steps in; they argue that it's your God-given duty to marry young and have as many babies as possible. Of course that gets into weird logic like if a married couple knows that the woman can't get pregnant is it still OK for them to gently caress constantly? They tend to not have good answers for questions like that.

I've heard some more out there sects say that if you're feeling the urge to gently caress God is inspiring you to have babies so you shouldn't deny it. That gets into some...questionable territory and those people tend to believe that spousal rape is impossible because if you're married the purpose is to make babies so you must have sex as often as either person feels the need to make as many babies as possible. Condoms are bad! Abortion is bad! Birth control is bad! The drive to hump is God telling you to make babies so get with the baby makin'! That same logic means that if somebody is feeling the need to rape somebody then it must be God wanting that baby to come into existence. Hence people arguing that rape babies are "gifts from God." A woman who chooses to not get married and be filled with babies by a man is defying His will and is wrong and bad so He had to work through...other means. Fortunately that belief isn't all that common but I have no idea how somebody can possibly believe that sort of madness without realizing the horror of it.

Of course all of that ignores that human sex isn't only for procreation. It's for bonding and social things as well. The other side of it is that there are in fact a hell of a lot of Evangelicals quoting Leviticus and demanding that all the gays be rounded up and stoned to death. Depends on which flavor of American Christianity you're dealing with, really.

Since this is the darkest timeline, Sean Hannity will just fabricate another conspiracy to keep his viewers focused on anything except the Russia investigation. He has to keep his ratings up and that seems to be the only way he can keep his show.

I think the most dangerous part of looking at sex as only for procreation is that it's less humble. We're animals. We like to gently caress. There's nothing nasty about it. It's just part of life and one of the most enjoyable things about it.

If the family brings a suit against him/Fox his rear end is likely out the door ASAP. Fox has been cleaning house lately and getting rid of a lot of Ailes allies, and Hannity's probably name #1 on the short list. Especially since Fox is getting pretty tired of coughing up money in big, public lawsuits as of late.

Why are the Murdoch sons cleaning house? The lawsuits or are they just disgusted with the network?

The problem is Fox is actually refusing to cover Trump regardless of ratings, which means that their supposed/anticipated shift to the middle is not happening; the ideologues still have control.

Trump thinks he is going to get away with this because he has so many corporations, LLCs, and other holding companies to spread around the bribes and money laundering schemes involved in Russian money flowing into those entities. I bet he's one of those people that truly believes that corporations are legally people and liability lies within this quasi corporate structure. Real estate is a very small portion of his holdings anyway.

Plus he's trying to like DDOS financial investigators with so many tiny corporations that handle all of the stupid ventures that he's created like Trump Steaks or the Trump Taj Mahal. He was hit with like 100+ accusations of money laundering at his casino in Atlantic City after all. And not to mention, look at Flynn trying to plead the fifth when he was subpoena'd by the Senate Intel Committee and them saying "lol no, companies can't plead the fifth, you dolt." It blows my mind that these people are somehow part of the 1%.

One of the worst parts of American society is that we like to pretend that we're anything other than smelly, hairy apes ruled primarily by our urges to eat and gently caress. Like you're saying there's nothing nasty about it. It's what we are. It's OK! We're apes. Dirty, hair, smelly apes that happened to get big, fat brains. Interestingly Judaism has a view like you're alluding to; God chose to make sex feel good so enjoying it is totally fine. If God didn't want us to enjoy it He would have made it not fun.

I don't know how this is in other parts of the world but it's common in Christianity to teach that we aren't animals at all. That's why the evolution/creation debate rages so hard among Evangelicals. The idea that we're just clever apes and not much else doesn't jive with their view that we're better than everything else, specially created by God, and given dominion over His creation. Us just kind of randomly happening doesn't read as well and leads to some terrifying existential possibilities. Better to believe that we're special and better; put here deliberately because God decided to.

...

No wonder American culture is so loving narcissistic.

Oh yeah, I understand how Trump got his wealth. I was more referring to Flynn. But then I remembered that O-9s get really good pay especially since he probably got a special duty allowance as the DIA director.
