It's only been 7 days. Lol. We still have at least 3.98 years of this (assuming Democracy isn't abolished after this point and we don't get to vote anymore).
My greatest desire is my state which is deep blue decides to secede and we get Cascadia up in this shit.
- Secession will never happen for anyone anywhere. It'd be bad for business. And both parties serve business primarily and maybe exclusively. Used to be able to say two sides of the same coin, but now they're more like eyes on a flounder.
  
  This is the kind of stupid take that got us here.
God i wish Christians were as persecuted as they wanted to be. It'd probably stop a lot of things from getting worse.
- We should ban the teaching of religion to anyone under the age of 18, possibly even 25. Kids just aren't old enough to make big meaningful decisions about religion, baptism, confirmation, etc.
Who could have seen this coming! ( everyone who paid marginal attention)
- I'm sure Peter Thiel feels deeply betrayed.
  (jk, he doesn't care as long as he gets paid)
  
  There is a pretty good chance he will end up in a camp. So at least there is that
The thing that got me in this article was the idiot politician saying that "Christians are being targeted"... oh you dumb toddler... you don't like how it feels to be "discriminated against" and your solution is to target and discriminate?! An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
- The xtians think they are being "discriminated against" when they are told that the rules they think are in their little book club are for THEM and THEM only. The rest of us normal Americans can just ignore their bullshit rules, because they don't apply in a secular nation.
  And this. Drives. Them. Crazy. They want to RULE over others. What's the point of their little book club if only they have to follow the rules?
From the Article
During debate on the House floor Monday, Scott repeatedly said marriage is a decision that should be left for the states to decide. But Scott’s memorial actually calls on the U.S. Supreme Court – not the states – to define marriage as a union of one man and one woman.
Scott went on to say the Obergefell decision poses threats to religious liberty. For example, Scott said cake-makers and photographers were pressured to support marriages they don’t personally agree with.
“Christians across the nation are being targeted,” Scott said.
Fuck Heather Scott. It would be a shame if someone egged her house, every night, while she watches in horror.
Better yet, let’s decide which of her rights she deserves. Maybe none. Can we put her on a flight to Colombia?
- They are nervously watching their numbers tick down year over year, though. I kind of figured they'd go apeshit as their position of unwarranted privilege started to wither away, but even I didn't think they'd go all in for a fascist like donvict and those around him.
- I might actually send her where Trump originally intended. A solid education in metro New York would do her a lot of good.
Paulo Freire says it best ...
For years before it was legalized, all kinds of dire predictions were made (the phrase "man-on-dog" was famously used). Not a single one of them came true.
Same-sex (it really should be called same-gender) marriage hurts no one.
Remember when lots of conservative gays told us that they could vote for donvict because they thought he wouldn't do anything to them?
I do.
