The funniest thing about the Schmitt rake stomp is that if it'd been a Dem we'd have a week of think pieces about how Dems lack of hoops literacy was alienating them from real America.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Never underestimate a woman’s knowledge
A four panel comic strip. Panel 1: a boy asks “Hey mom, what’s your favourite superhero?” Panel 2: “Oh I don’t know dear. Probably X-Man.” Panel 3: “Haha mom you’re so dumb and old. The X-Men is a team!” Panel 4: “Actually dear, I was talking about Nate Grey, the alternate universe Cable who took the name x-Man in his original run in ‘95. Read the comics you fucking casual.”

The best sermon is the one you live. I preached this morning. But my real sermon happened across Texas this week, as our campaign collected 20,000 pounds of groceries for our neighbors. As scripture says, “faith without works is dead.”

Someone is a TEEEEEEENSY bit out of touch. No, President Obama. What people are starved for is being able to pay the rent, afford to put gas in the car, and pay their utilities without working three jobs. So please go fuck yourself. Christ. This is SO tone deaf. Which is VERY unlike him.
Message Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together
in this moment."

How does this person have a job? They should be fired immediately. Work in a health care setting and you refuse vaccines? Nope. You should be immediately shown the door. Working with incredibly vulnerable people doesn't give you a license to expose them to your germs. Take that shit elsewhere.
