Kasich is one of those "deeply disturbed" Republicans, right?

He's term-limited in Ohio, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's planning on primarying Trump in 2020.

It's interesting to see how winning/power/governing actually seems to be harming a lot of top Republicans.

In my fantasy future, in two or three years he looks back on this era as "the good times," a single tear falling down his cheek as he's getting swastikas tattooed on his neck so the White Power gang in prison accepts him.

Like gently caress my Dictatorship is letting him rot in prison with that kind of safety. I'm going to create a 5 year prison out of Mar-A-Lago that he'll be the only whitey there, incarcerated and prison staff. It'll be filled to the brim with Crips, Bloods, Netas, Islamic Extremists, and any other organization under the sun that Donnie probably insulted at one point or another. Whoever records the most punishment to Trump without exactly killing him gets $10,000 of the Trump estate's money collectively sent to the gang's families that week.

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

He likes to wrap himself in "I'm a good Republican who cares about you" bullshit while pushing to enact bog standard Republican policies. That said, he didn't vote for Trump and has been consistent in his denouncement of him and his administration. He's still a piece of poo poo governor, but he didn't bend the knee. The differences between Kasich and Scott Walker are that he didn't lick Trump's boots and he's better at pretending he gives a poo poo about his state. Well, and he accepted the Medicaid expansion. I don't remember if Walker did or not.

Kaisch also called to a severance tax on fraking for Ohio in his budget but the Republican legislator overruled him. Never forget he tried to gut public unions in his first term with SB 5 but did it so harshly Ohioans voted it down in a referendum by 55+%

Logically it should be the other way around, though. If you have to answer personally for your stewardship of creation after your life is over, you should take it a helluva lot more seriously.

Yeah it's not like Christ's vicar on Earth issued an encyclical about our duty to care for the planet or anything. Those drat religious people!

Too many religious people think religion is the only thing that can make a person do good, and too many atheists think religion is something that makes people bad. The truth is that people just do whatever the gently caress they want and justify it all post hoc regardless of what they think happens to you when you die.

I feel like that one "joke" Will Smith's kid told him in The Pursuit of Happiness is something more of these idiots need to learn. Especially the whole "God isn't going to wave his hand and make it better but maybe he'll throw opportunities to fix it at you"

Like wasn't that a Thing in the Bible? God not acting explicitly, but by making others do it?

I mean, yeah I get that they're saying it to avoid risking even a penny of their revenue but still.

I never watched Game of Thrones and don't really intend to so I'm going to say Trump is King Arthur. He's hosed his relative, didn't listen to the kindly wizard, has sent his kingdom to hell, relies exclusively on the counsel of Rich white men, favors a system in which the wealth of the poor is transferred upwards through Lords and eventually to him, and will be killed by his son.

And Sean Spicer is the black adder.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.




Man if I were to think for a minute I might conclude that the GOP loves using selective passages of scripture out of context only when it benefits them, and ignores any passages that might conflict with their worldview or demonstrate their absolute hypocrisy.
