Christians are fucking liars. Their own book tells the story…Life Begins At Birth

"Life begins at birth - with

the first breath (Gen 2:7).

Fetuses are not persons

(Ex 21:22-25). Fetuses

should be aborted as proof

of adultery (Numbers 5:11-

31). Life is not sacred

(Deuteronomy 28: 18-24).

God will rip open pregnant

mothers-to-be (2 Kings

8:12). Israelite King

Menahem ripped open

pregnant women (2 Kings

15:16). God will kill unborn

fetuses (Isaiah 13:18). God

will destroy fetuses in

utero (Hosea 9:10-16). God

will dash infants in pieces

and rip open pregnant

women (Hosea 13:16. In

Even if the Democrats win the midterms decisively, they won't be close to 60 votes in the Senate so impeachment is academic. Claiming they will impeach like it's some great achievement is just more proof that the Democrats are not serious. Well, they're serious about being Republican lite.

Yes, the ALP in Opposition was happy to oppose the Iraq war but in government they fully support every one of the USA's idiotic attacks. We shouldn't be in AUKUS with such an unstable partner. The alliance is risking our national security, not aiding it.

Impeachment is symbolic and not much of a symbol, given it's been done twice before and he got elected again anyway. Spend the time and effort on getting votes and making better policies. Most Americans were disgusted with Nixon and therefore there was bipartisanship in his downfall.

Superb player and already a fantastic commentator. I hope she continues to have a large media presence.

Your assessment is spot on, that MAGA's are voting against their own interests. But your solution is ridiculous. In effect, you're saying that people should be only be allowed to vote if they vote the way you think they should.

St George Illawarra are the worst team in the NRL by some distance at golden point and nothing changed today. Excellent effort overall but like last season, you don't get points for good effort.

Not an Everton fan but that save was absolutely outrageous, the reaction of the Newcastle players was total shock. They were starting to celebrate a super goal. Tonali hammered that!

Their actions are probably the best proof. These types of damaging actions have generally been well supported by both parties.

I think this will be more a case of adding another problem to the long list for the President. Few Americans want this war.

Lindsay @silk1970.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
I don't believe starting an unjustified war that most Americans don't want is the best way to avoid electoral consequences for being a paedophile President whose promises about improving the economy and reducing costs for ordinary people have exploded as much as those bombs.

Of course it's not OK. But his party has, you know, the numbers. There's only way to fix that.

It may have ended up being President Lincoln's mistake but given he was dead I think he can have a pass on that one.

Germany lost the war and weren't given much choice about that. In practice a lot of Nazis escaped the net and went back to work because there were too many. But many Zazis did pay a serious price.

Absolutely. Should the Democrats regain power they need to make sure that Republicans don't pull this shit again and get back to following the law and the Constitution. Consequences for their criminal and unethical behaviour are the only way to ensure that.

It looks like a genuine slip of the tongue but it's so revealing of Republican behaviour.

Lindsay @silk1970.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
Agreed, as much as I loved that idea, it didn't work. Republicans and their supporters just see it as weakness. They only respond to strength.

I think the headline was a bit harsh. Slumps? She made the final and she hasn't made a lot of them. Admittedly, she did get thrashed but it was a little tabloidy for mine.

I like this headline. Voting is the only way out of the nightmare.

Decent person compared to Trump, sure. But decent at being Prime Minister? I doubt it. Seems Tory-lite to me.

Mother says sending son to swim 4km for help 'one of the hardest decisions'
A WA mother says asking her teenage son to swim four kilometres through rough seas to get help after their family was swept out to sea, was "one of the hardest decisions" she has ever made.

It was tough being runner up to City when we had of our greatest seasons. But I think losing when you should win would be worse. If you don't lose to City they will find it almost impossible.

I was thinking after last weekend that someone might challenge you but I don't think that the challengers are good enough. This could be your year! The flip side is how infuriating it will be if you don't win.

It was 1 more than expected at half time. But yes, it's a horrible record. How many points have they collected away from home over that period?

When it gets to the elections, absolutely, vote for any Democrat. But I think attacking the status quo Democrats at the primaries is correct. Republican voter willingness to wipe out Republican moderates was a huge factor in turning the Republican party into the MAGA party.

I feel that impeaching Trump without the numbers in the Senate is just a waste of time. It's not going to impact his supporters. They're not going to change. Impeachment cannot work without legitimacy with the other side. He was impeached twice in term 1 - what was the gain?

They overreached, their initial successes made them think that there were no limits. They were wrong about that. Germany today has less territory that the Weimar Republic did the day Hitler took office.

Yes, he tired to go through Djokovic in the first set. When that didn't work, he really mixed it up and Djokovic had no counter.

Their near total lack of rhetoric about doing so is not good. I want to hear them saying that when they're back in government, anyone not named Trump is going down for breaking the law. And that non Presidential charges regarding 47 will be on the menu too.

For all the things I hate about the Trump regime, this wouldn't be one. Departments of Defence were called Departments of War. Why? Because that's what they bloody are! Especially when you're the resident Superpower.

A Feast for Crows was half a book. He released it so he could get a book out there and claimed that the next one would only be a year or so. A Dance with Dragons is the other half. Like A Feast for Crows, it has some great moments. But it's not tight in the way the first 3 books were.

They're not brave enough because they'll be voted out for doing so. Nixon lost his own supporters, so Congressional Republicans were free to abandon him. The MAGAs are solid. The answer isn't impeachment, it's to vote the bastards out.
