Already bracing myself for the “Fwd:Fwd: I was totally a lifelong Democrat voter and was going to vote for Biden but then I saw how mean “the left” was about this so now I’m totally voting for Trump I assure you I am a real person” posts.

A student showed me the middle one and thought it was accurate. Anyone who tries to hold Trump accountable (to even the smallest degree) is an enemy.

Democrats don't support the troops, they kneel for the anthem. Also, I photoshopped my political enemies onto the faces of marines in order to make a joke.

The main takeaway here being that Trump is so loving stupid you have to read literal childrens books to know what's coming before you debate him. A good meme.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS SAID THAT HIS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST IS WHAT MADE HIM SET SAIL 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Almost every school child knows that “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue,” but what they don’t know, is how Columbus’s personal relationship with Jesus Christ affected his desire to travel to the ends of the earth. Columbus wrote, “It was the Lord who put into my mind (I could feel his hand upon me) that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit, because He comforted me with rays of marvelous inspiration from the Holy Scriptures.” Columbus quoted Isaiah 59:18-19, “He will repay the islands their due. From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory.” He also quoted Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” He felt like the Holy Spirit was leading him to travel to the ends of the earth as a front-runner of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the uttermost islands of the earth. Let’s celebrate Christopher Columbus today, a man who took Jesus’ call seriously to “go and make disciples of all nations.” (Matt. 28:19) It’s men like this who helped pave the way for the west to come to know Jesus!

And pave the way for Jesus, he did. “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.”

Bizarro Kanyon posted:And pave the way for Jesus, he did. I’m a jew, but that line in context with the rest of its chapter seems like Jesus is saying “people, even your family, will turn against you.” The swords are being wielded people who will persecute christians and he wants christians to remain strong and faithful in the face of adversity. Kinda the opposite of what Columbus and friends did.

I understand that. But that line has been used regularly by people wanting to declare war on others (Christian terrorists, Crusaders, etc). It seems to be the go to line by people who want to use their faith as reasoning to attack others. I guess I should have put Jesus in quotation marks because his context does not matter to those like Columbus.

They aren't Christian, is the answer. They use religion to manipulate the weak and easily controlled. Nobody that is actually pro-life supports putting humans in cages or executing a person. They're all hypocrites and if their book is right, they're all going to Hell.

My boss just loudly and stridently insisted that Trump never wanted to be President, but "a hundred generals begged him to do it for America". I'm not sure if that belongs here, but I also don't know what to do with it otherwise. I laughed out loud and he got pissy and went in his office and is now loudly watching Trump rallies on his phone.

They believe they are Christian because they are told, again and again and again, that they are Saved, and anyone who is not them needs saving. And people are born and raised in this mindset. They are told how to interpret the Word of God, that the way they are taught is the only way to get into Heaven, and that by being faithful (and donating) they can also be rich and successful and prosperous. From their youth and throughout their formative years, constantly. You can say they 'aren't Christian' all day, but they are the loudest, largest and most influential Christians around. They define the movement and the public view of it, and they got there through centuries of stepping on people for their own benefit. The moneychangers bought the temple and kicked God out a long time ago. That's not a problem of faith, it's a problem of organization and political manipulation.

It's still amazing to me that Donald loving Trump, best known to me throughout my childhood as a failed businessman supermarket tabloid cheated-on-his-wife-and-bankrupted-another-company-again cover boy turned conman turned campy reality TV gameshow host has this kind of mythos surrounding him. Sorry to hear your boss is a straight up cultist.

Marx Was A Lib posted:We're gonna make a few bucks, have a few drinks, then go back to the usual. No way the American people are stupid enough to elect me. I can actually believe that was his mindset when he ran. I feel like I dodged a bullet with my dad. He's always been a republican, but he also worked in the construction industry and being in Philly, he saw Trump put a lot of people that we worked with out of business (Philly and AC are only 60 miles away from each other, so there's a lot of crossover work). He's hated him since the 80's and I think it's helped him stay away from the brain poison a lot of boomers seem to have. He really does not like what the republican party looks like right now, and is actively critical of them. I don't think he'd switch parties ever, but I think he's voting for Biden this year. He'll probably go R for the local races, but I'll take what I can get. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Oct 14, 2020 |

I got this weirdly targeted sponsored ad on facebook, and some of the tags (and the sheer volume of them) are setting off my crazy alarm. Apparently the guy was a US Representative, but I can't find out much about him, and people with strong opinions about both Irish and South African history tend to be either ardent anti-imperialists or "the Irish were slaves too, blacks were better educated under apartheid" wingnuts. Anyone know if this is just crazy advertising or the bad crazy?

Fair, but I'd put early 40s Germany heavily on the 'racist crank' side of the spectrum. There's a reassuring absence of whiteman88 and pepes in reviews of it, and one of the few things that I can find out about him is that he wears a mask, and I hate that that's now a sign of not being a racist great replacement white supremacist, but it is. So I think you're right and it's just historical fiction and the promoters just really like hashtags.

US code apparently says the followingquote:The number of general officers on active duty in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, and the number of flag officers on active duty in the Navy, may not exceed the number specified for the armed force concerned as follows: most of those are like 1 or 2 star generals hence why theres so many. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/526
