He said this at the time, as did many, and it remains a bald-faced lie. Not a matter of opinion. It's just completely untrue as an objective factual matter. Civil marriage laws don't work like that and never have. Just like the legality of divorce and remarriage doesn't affect the Catholic Church.

Over and over some people demonstrate that racism IS a material interest in their decision making and that the racism supercedes everything else. But some refuse to take these folks at their word.

The problem with your company being ran by pilled reactionaries is that when you run into an actual problem, the only response is more pilled reactionaryism.

"Trump mobile was informed they had been breached, they then replied with 'We have no team to handle this' and that anyone who hacks them are a terrorist," the group wrote "Well unfortunately for them, all 36 1 5 customers and their PIl, alongside telecom details are now up for grabs. Feel free to take a gander at it yourself, don't be shy, we (and them) certainly aren't stopping you."

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

the popular discourse about hitler is very frustrating because you only have to read one biography to realize he was insufferable and dumb, and many of his successes came from people underestimating how dumb he was (you can win money by going all in every time, but not for long)

if republicans get wiped-out in the midterms the far-right (twitter) will engage in a race to the bottom in terms of who can get closest to going full nazi—sort of a zeno's dichotomy situation at this point, to be fair—because far-right politics cannot fail but only be failed.

The thing about not trying to find an innocent alternative to the worst interpretation of what Trump says is if he indeed meant something less inflammatory, let the White House issue a correction. Why give them the means to have it both ways?

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.
