i used to work on hgtv shows. if you ever hear one with a bunch of weird beeping in the background it's because i was loving around on the internet while laying the show off to tape. also yeah those shows are very depressing.

Oh yeah, the Presbyterian church in Waco is a Swaggart ministry. A guy I used to work with attended church there. According to him Donnie Swaggart was cucking his own congregation. I dunno if it's true, but I believe it.

I live in one of those places and I think it's fine that Americans think it's socialism. That makes people open to the idea so their brains don't just immediately shut down when the word socialism comes up.

calling those nations socialist is just a rhetorical thing to use against conservatives when they claim that having worker protections and healthcare will lead to mass murder and you don’t have time to start going down the path of explaining the difference between social democracy, socialism, and communism in a series of “well actually”s
