I'm confused. Is this some sort of argument about sola fide, one way or the other? Is Lietha one of those Jack Chick types who thinks good works are completely irrelevant? I only know about his ark fetishism and hatred of Bill Nye.

Or is it literally just "person is famous and seems good but maybe is not a good person slash true christian makes u think"?

Sola gratia more than sola fide.

Except the reasons people give for hating Obama, full on visceral hatred not just disagreement with, are either complete lies, totally irrational nonsense, or some combination of the two. The reasons people give for hating Trump are deeply rooted in reality.

Or more succinctly, the fear of Obama was that he was secretly plotting to do things like form liberal Marxist death squads and introduce Sharia Law. The fear of Trump is that he means and will do exactly what he says.

Errrrrr you could make the same argument of the Ben Garisson "Michelle Obama is literally a man" cartoon or Branco's infamous "I GOT STDs BECAUSE OBAMACARE TURNS LADIES INTO SLUTS". It is a lovely, most likely traced, cartoon, and people are reacting at how loving dense / ill-informed it is.

McCoy actually used the imagery in a consistent, meaningful, and vile way. Garrison is just a kitchen-sink slightly more sane Dees and Branco is literally too dumb to tie his own shoes. For comparison, the Lester comic with the same imagery completely loving botches it.

McCoy is like Delonas, a highly skilled troll with a flair for the grotesque.

FBI Directors:
1941, 1961, and 1968: J. Edgar Hoover, all around scumbag obsessed with "subversives" and self promotion to an exceedingly distracting degree. An unrepentant scumbag there is ZERO chance that Ramirez wouldn't be sucking off his every move were they alive at the same time. Appointed by Calvin Coolidge a Republican who, despite the Southern Strategy, was very much a modern Republican. Ramirez would also love this man.

1991: William S. Sessions. Appointed by Reagan *cough*

2001: Robert Mueller. Appointed by George W Bush. To be fair he replaced the last guy a week before 9/11 so the last guy was Thomas J. Pickard appointed by...George W. Bush...

2017: James Comey. Appointed by Barack "The Islamic Shock" Obama.

Unless Ramirez is talking about a general, vague, "intelligence" blob that only he defines. In which case: good job being right?

He's talking about the CIA.

I don't know enough about the US political system to know what the Nuclear Option is, but based on the cartoons I'm just going to assume the republicans are just straight up going to use actual nuclear weapons, launching them into the capitol and destroying Washington in a giant ball of flame.

The Republicans will change the rules so that a simple majority instead of 3/5 is required to confirm a supreme court justice meaning that from now on, there is no limit to how blatantly partisan a justice can be and be confirmed if the majority party also holds the white house.
